About the operator
- Kkev00Great introductory tour to Egypt and the Red seaVery well organized Egypt tour with Look at Egypt tours based in Cairo. We chose them because of great review onTripadvisor and very competitive good price. This is mainly a semi-private tour ( small group of 3-4 couples ) according to our date and what we want to see. Every communication was easily done by email and later via whatsapp. They answer fast to all your inquiry and questions. After we give them what we wish to see and do , Ahmed, the CEO of the company proposes a plan . They organize everything from A to Z with great 5 stars hotel , 5 stars 3 night cruise and all the local flights the entry tickets for every sites and museum. All the local flights We always have a guide and a driver to every historic sites and transfer. The guides are very good and helpful. From the 1st day at Cairo Airport, where Mahmoud greets you inside the airport BEFORE the customs exit. And miraculously, while there were very long waiting lines to pass through the custom agents, Mahmoud makes us pass the customs without any waiting !! And he charges our phone with egyptian SIM card himself. It was a very good thing to have a master guide such as Walid who was the coordonator of all trip . He takes care of you from the first to the last day. After, everything went on smoothly exactly as planned. We had great guides such as Dahlia for the Cairo and pyramids portion, Mu for AbuSimbel and Nile Cruise . They are with you for every transfer by minivan, to airport and to hotels and cruise. The last segment of 4 night in All inclusive Hilton at Hurghada beach in the Red Sea was pure relaxation without any sightseeing ( as we requested) . We truly enjoy our trip with this Cie.
- paulagB889FE00Highly recommended Agency and TourWe did this tour in september 2023 and it was great from beginning to the end. Everything was super well organized and we felt in good hands the whole time. All the guides are experts in egyptian history and thaught us a lot about the country. Expecially Mohammed (Mo) our guide during the nile cruise part was the best we could imagine, funny, organized and an expert in the field. We learned a lot from him. The agency keeps the groups small which we like a lot. The agency takes care of everything and tells you what to avoid in public. The cars were modern and suitable for drinving long distances in that heat. The hotels which the agency chooses a for their clients are also worth the money. All in all great experience and highly recommended.
- Souvik D0010 days trip to EgyptMy travel consultant from Look at Egypt Tour is Mr. Walid Sobeih. He and his team had made fantastic arrangements for the tour, travel, stays (be it in the hotel or Nile Cruise etc.). They have made our tour very comfortable and enjoyable at every stage. Additionally, we were fortunate enough to get great Egyptologists as our guide, who made our trip really like a “living history” experience. Egypt is our top rated travel place due to our interest in archaeology and we are so far very happy to whatever we have seen and heard about the places and it’s associated history. I would like to thank Look at Egypt Tour for arranging such a nice tour for us and we would like to come back again. Keep up the great work!
- Trail0279643269200Amazing!👏Look at Egypt tours has the best staff. Our guide Mohamed Salah was very knowledgeable, friendly and, helpful. If you need a guide in egypt look no further than look at egypt tours they hire only the best. Our driver was amazing as well picked us up in a clean a.c. vehicle . He was always there when we needed to be picked up and dropped off. Thank you so much. They made our honeymoon a very memorable adventure.
- GoPlaces363627565130012 Day Egypt Trip!We had Mohamed Salah as our guide at the pyramids at Giza and Sakkara on the first day, and Coptic Cairo on the second day. He made this an unforgettable experience, and we thank you. Our driver, Ayman, was fantastic, as well! He got us to and from our locations safely and with ease. He was very kind. Mohammad was very knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend this company and especially these two individuals. Look at Egypt Tours provided us with private guides and transportation (not in a group) to each location. The hotels we stayed at were very good and the food was delicious! We felt very safe throughout the trip! Highly recommend this tour.
- Mobile2363771121700Nile Dinner CruiseThe Nile dinner cruise was fantastic! Our guide Ayat was so kind and knowledgeable. She told us so much about Cairo along the way and checked on us all throughout the evening. The food was tasty and the entertainment was neat. It was so exciting to see the Nile lit up at night!
- I406800Great timeAyat is a wonderful guide. She arrived early to pick me up. Ensured I was comfortable and satisfied with everything. She gave me historical information on Cairo and its surrounding areas. She talked with me and made me feel very welcome. The shows were great! The food was better than I expected! When I return, I will definitely be using this company for more tours. Based on me enjoying the cruise so much, Ayat already recommended tour packages that should meet my standards and satisfaction. I will be recommending this company to family and friends when they visit Egypt.
- Gavin C00Unforgettable Egyptian Journey with Exceptional GuidesLook at Egypt Tours exceeded all expectations during our recent adventure. Guides Ahmad and Mohamed were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the sites we visited in Egypt, but their sense of humor and friendly demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. Their insights and anecdotes brought history to life in a captivating way. Kudos to Look at Egypt Tours for having such exceptional guides who truly enriched our journey. We can't recommend them enough for an unforgettable travel experience.
- Ash R00Look At Egypt Tours treated us just like family!If you want to tour Egypt, the only way to do it is through this company, Look At Egypt Tours. They truly made our trip to Egypt so memorable. Every person we met who worked with this company were so helpful, knowledgeable, and treated us just like family. They made us feel very safe the whole time, and stayed with us throughout our 10 day experience. Everyone accommodated us and they specifically catered our trip just to us. They truly prioritized what we wanted to see and do. My trip to Egypt would have not been as memorable and as special if we did not do it through Look At Egypt Tours. Special thanks to our Egyptologist Randa who was the absolute sweetest. She helped us get the most beautiful and memorable pictures of Egypt. We loved our guide Mahmoud, who helped us out with everything (even watching over and taking special care of my papyrus painting for a few nights) and took us to the best restaurants in Cairo. Our favorites were koshary at Abou Tarek, and our favorite restaurant experience was at Elbayt Baytek, along the Nile. They had the best pizza and the our waiter was such a comedian! We loved the driver we had in Cairo. He was such a gentle giant who took great care of us through that crazy Cairo driving experience. I don't recall his name, so I'll include him in the photo because we truly loved him. I loved the papyrus museum they took us to and the guy that worked there was awesome. I bought a beautiful papyrus painting as a souvenir. One of our favorite experiences was our Nile cruise and I would only do it through Sonesta St. George. All of the crew members were so amazing. From the chef to the DJ, they all made our trip so much fun, and the food was the best. It was truly beautiful on board. The highlights of the trip for me were going inside the Great Pyramid and the Valley of the Kings burial chambers, especially King Tut's. Thank you to our guide Muhammad for making our time in upper Egypt so fascinating. Overall this was the most amazing trip of a lifetime, and it was truly perfect because of Look at Egypt Tours. Thank you guys so very much!
- rashroyer00Bucket-list trip to Egypt met all expectations; highly recommend Look at Egypt ToursWe took the Iconic Egypt tour, 11 days including Alexandria, Cairo, Nile Cruise (Luxor and Aswan) and Abu Simbel. Look at Egypt Tours handled all of the logistics very well. We were met at the airport (by the CEO) and walked through immigration and customs, for which we were grateful. Our Hotel in Cairo, the Steigenberger Pyramids in Giza, was very nice; we could see the Great Pyramid from our lounge chairs by the pool. Breakfast was very nice, with plenty of selections. There were several on-site restaurants to choose from as well as room service. We used room service our first couple of days; the food was edible but not much more than that. The Il Giardino restaurant by the pool was better, three meals there ranging from ok to quite good. You could get to an off-site restaurant by taxi, but we didn't bother; we came to Egypt to see bucket-list sights, not to eat. The timing of the in-country flights to and from Cairo was a bit strange. We got up at an ungodly hour to catch the flight to Luxor, and then sat around for several hours because cabins on the cruise ship weren't ready. On the way back, our flight back from Aswan to Cairo didn't leave until mid-afternoon, which looked like a wasted half day, but we found a great museum to visit in the morning and our guide arranged transportation; we highly recommend the Nubian Museum (NOT the Nubian Village) in Aswan. The Nile Cruise...well, luxury is not the right word. It served its purpose - to get us to all of the sights along the Nile with plenty of time for enjoying the experience. Our ship, one of the Jaz ships, was very dated, though quite clean. The food...I've never seen such mediocre food presented so beautifully. You'll recognize the chicken and beef by their dryness on the third appearance, no matter how attractively they disguise it. OK, the sights. Bucket list is definitely appropriate. The Pyramids/Sphinx in Giza, the church and mosque in Old Cairo, the Luxor and Karnak Temples, the tombs on the west bank at Luxor, the temples along the river, Abu Simbel, Philae and the High Dam - contemplating the engineering feat of disassembling those ancient temples and relocating them to high ground was staggering. My favorite was the Karnak Temple complex at Luxor. 14 separate temples, built over thousands of years, with each successive Pharoah trying to outdo the previous ones. As usual, Rameses II was the winner. No matter which is your favorite, you will not be disappointed by the historic sights. We had local guides in both Cairo/Alexandria and Luxor/Aswan. Both were extremely knowledgeable and went out of their way to take good care of the old couple (us) with bad hearing and traveler's diarrhea. The largest group was the day trip to Alexandria; we had 8 people in the van. Usually, it was us and no more than 2-3 others - plenty of personal explanations of things, flexibility in the daily itinerary and not much time schlepping people among hotels. My main annoyance - tipping (baksheesh). For a reason I didn't expect. We were bombarded from all sides for tips - hotel, restaurants, guides, drivers, etc - that I expected. What I wasn't prepared for was the difficulty of getting a supply of small bills to use. Forget the hotel desk. Forget the restaurant. Forget the concierge on the cruise. Nobody would give you change. You pretty much have to buy something somewhere and pay cash, and you MIGHT be able to talk them into giving you change in small bills. Reluctantly. Finally, an example of Look at Egypt Tours' consideration for us. When we were in Cairo, our local guide arranged for us to purchase a coffee table book "The Art and Archaeology of Ancient Egypt". It came with a USB drive which, he said, had many videos and photos of the major sights. Several weeks after we retuned home, we got out the USB drive to start viewing the images, and guess what? It worked...once. I emailed Ahmed Abd Alfattah, the CEO, explained the situation and asked if there was anything he could do to help me. He replied immediately and explained that, although the book was not a product of his company he would see what he could do and get back to me. Since then, he has arranged for me to download all of the images that were on the USB drive from a Google Drive. I am so grateful to have this trove of images to supplement the book. I enthusiastically recommend Look at Egypt Tours and this particular tour, and I hope that you enjoy your bucket-list trip to Egypt as much as we did.
- markwJ3767FK00A deep look into a phenomenal historyWe booked Look at Egypt Tours for a customer private driver and guided experience during our time in Cairo. From the moment we reached out to plan our experience, they were highly responsive, quick to answer questions, and provided an excellent itinerary after considering our requests. They arranged everything from airport pickup/drop off, all stops, daily lunches, Egyptologist guide, and Nile dinner cruise. Our itinerary included the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Saqqara, Memphis open air museum, several museums, the Coptic quarter, Citadel, Alabaster Mosque of Mohammed Ali, the old Bazaar, and other interesting stops. Our guide was Mustafa and he did a phenomenal job. His passion for his history is obvious and he ensured we had the time we needed at each location. We learned a lot from his presentation and his very good sense of humor. He also arranged changing up our tour between days as I ended up with a minor stomach issue and would not have been able to handle the day the Pyramids were originally scheduled. He used that day for some of the easier stops we could move slower and take more frequent breaks. He took great care to make sure I remained hydrated despite my misfortune and was comfortable. I highly recommend using Look at Egypt Tours and we will use the again when we return to see Southern Egypt.
- Helen K00The best Service & Guide EverWe booked our Dy tour in Cairo with Look at Egypt Tours to the Giza Pyramids and Museum and it was perfect tour our Guide Mostafa was very helpful and patient and he was keen to give us enough time everywhere the lunch was very delicious we highly recommend Look at Egypt and mostafa
- Shruti N00Deserves all the stars you see!Extraordinarily well planned trip. We had to put in zero thought process in the planning which is big for us. Big clean vans , drivers, and guides to assist you at every stop. We had an amazing trip. I wish these guys were in more countries. Everyone was very patient with our toddler despite her tantrums and being a messy eater.
- E548TWvictorias00Look at Egypt Tours provided a superlative Egyptian tour experience.I cannot say enough about my fabulous trip with Look at Egypt Tours. I was there for two weeks and saw everything on my list. The guides were knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and focused on getting me where I needed to be to experience pyramids, tombs, museums, and temples. As a woman traveling alone, it mattered greatly that my guides got to know me and ensured I had an outstanding, safe experience. Because I was alone and my Luxor guide was an Egyptian archaeologist known to the people working at the archaeological sites, I could see places up close that others would not. The Nile cruise was terrific. The hotel accommodations were top-notch. I experienced Ancient Egypt and modern Egypt with forays into places not usually visited by tourists on a carriage tour of Luxor and a tuk-tuk ride in Edfu, among other activities. I also had two camel rides around archaeological sites, which were great. When I go to Egypt again -- and I will, make no mistake -- I'll be counting on Look at Egypt Tours to provide me with another one-in-a-lifetime itinerary and trip.
- jenlenz002 great days in CairoI booked a custom tour with Look at Egypt that included a couple days in Cairo, a few days in Luxor and Aswan (including a Nile cruise) and a few days in Sharm el Sheik for diving. This review is about the 2 days in Cairo... I had booked solo, but agreed to join another group to save on fees- it was great because I got to enjoy the sites with a nice family, but we were still a small group. Our guide was Mo Salah and he made sure that we enjoyed every moment. He always asked our opinion about decisions (staying longer vs moving on, what time to have lunch, etc), and was very knowledgeable about the sites and culture. He even helped us bargain for better prices on our souvenirs. I think he also has good connections (or is simply persuasive!) because we didn't need to wait in any of the long lines-- a real bonus when you're out in the desert sun. Overall, it was a great time and I highly recommend Mo and Look at Egypt for Cairo sightseeing.

Look at Egypt Tours was the trip of a life time. Typically my wife and I prefer to free range when we travel. And yes being unfamiliar when the Egyptian culture was intimidating so we decided to take a tour with Look at Egypt. I could go on about the details of the beauty of Egypt and it’s culture.
However my point is the employees of Look at Egypt made the difference. Ahmed and Mahmoud met us at the airport upon arrival. Mostafa was our guide in Lower Egypt, Remon was our tour guide in Upper Egypt. These guys are truly professional Egyptologist.
I would like to extend a special thank you to Aymn our driver, he was extraordinary!!!!
Thank you to the Egyptian people for making us feel so welcome. You have a beautiful country and your culture is exceptional!!!
WE highly recommend LOOK AT EGYPT TOURS. They will genuinely treat you like family!!!!

My friend Ama and I went with a group of 22 great people called " You Can't Steal My Happy." The group used Look At Egypt to guide us through the many sites and temples. Look At Eqypt is an all inclusive top notch company, that catered to our every need. Mo, Ahmen and all of the Look at Egypt group were amazing.
We felt very safe and well taken care of, by our daily security team. This was an added bonus, especially since there were a couple of preteen girls with our group. I have never felt safer. It was more like friends watching over us than a militant detail.
Mo (our guide and big brother) was so funny. Most of the time, he wasn't even trying (hahaha). He was very informative and we all became fast friends.
What I was most impressed by, was how they easily and seamlessly made frequent changes to our itinerary, to accommodate our groups needs and wishes.
If you're are planning a trip to Egypt, I would definitely reccommend using Look At Eqypt.
