  We had a wonderful trip. Very memorable. The guides were great. It was all organized very well. I might advise paying extra to fly if you can afford it, instead of taking the overnight train, which was very bumpy.

  We took the 14 night and 13 day tour of Egypt in March 2025. This was the best tour so far we have been on. I would like to thank Heba Haggag of gift tours for all her care and planning of the tour. Without her I don’t know how we would have managed! She made sure of the timing of the optional tours, the drivers and the excellent tour guides. It was basically a private tour for my husband and I as it was only the 2 of us and then only 2 tours where there were 3 and 4 more people along with the tours. All flights were well timed and the seat classes were good. Our accomadations were clean and the hotels treated us well. Our drivers for the tours were all pleasant. Just one suggestion, the driver that met us at the airport when you first get to Cairo should acknowledge himself as the tour driver, and meet you in the airport, or explain exactly where he is. Khaled was our first tour guide for Cairo and was just excellent! Very knowledgeable, never rushing and answering all our questions politely. Nothing asked wasn’t answered. Our main driver was Ahmed and if I could suggest to slow down a little when driving, I understand the driving is a little crazy in Cairo!!! The first optional tour was a boat/dinner tour with belly dancing and turin dancing that was really enjoyable and the buffet meal was really good! We then had a very pleasant and safe driver named Mohamed take us and a family to Sakura, Khaled gave us the tour and really explained we,,. Told us about people there that would try to talk you into, pictures and dress up for camel photos, which we fell for!!! The museum with the displays of King Tut was bang one, could of stayed a few days just wandering around it! So many tourists but Khaled managed to show us things before the crowds would be there in droves! In fact everything that he showed us was done so we wouldn’t be with so many people. We decided not to go to Alexandria and Khaled was fine with that and planned for other sights to see. Khaled was always very close by to help us with market sellers and such and explain anything needed. After an excellent 5 days we were taken by air to Aswan. Nice flight and met our second guide Zakarya, again very knowledgeable and pleasant. Took us on a few sights before checking in on our Nile cruise ship Crown Emperor. Very nice older boat, but staff very kind and helpful! Again driver to Abu Simel was a good driver, and Abu Simel amazing! Also another couple optional tours on the water. Landed in Luxor to still more tours that were so interesting with Zakarya, including the Edfu temple. Off the boat after 3 days and taken to our other hotel for 2 days. I would highly recommend the hot air balloon ride over the valley of Kings, awe inspiring!! A needed day off from tours but we did want to stay busy! Heba called us daily to ask how everything was going and how the guides were doing 😘 And lastly our final drive to Hurghada for 3 days of rest and relaxation! The Red Sea was wonderful to sit in a lounge chair and soak up the rays!!! Hurghada is quite the resort town. Flew from Hurghada to Cairo, picked up by a driver and taken to last hotel for the night. Nice rest before leaving and flying home! This was a busy trip but an amazing trip. Learned soooo much!! Only negatives we had were many many people smoke and was almost too much for non smokers! Ramadan was on while we were here and must have been hard to explain so much pleasantly with fasting all day. I’m sure some of our questions were eye rolling for the guides but it never seemed too much. Again would like to thank Heba for her guidance and such pleasant answers! I would suggest Khaled and Zakarya as very pleasant and professional guides. The whole trip was very safe and never felt nervous in any way! Thank you, thank you 🙏
