        Amazing Desert Adventure with Mohamed Italiano
        I had an incredible one-day trip to the White Desert with Mohamed Italiano. Everything was perfectly organized, from the transportation to the delicious meals. Mohamed is knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience unforgettable with his stories and attention to detail. The scenery was breathtaking, especially the sunset over the unique rock formations. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Egypt!

        Breathtaking
        Everything about their tours was incredible. They were also very punctual with picking us up and very patient when it came to us delaying. We can’t stop talking about the dinner overlooking the pyramids, such amazing views.

        Unforgettable
        A wonderful experience worth living. All very well organised. Kamalito gave us very good explanations making us relive what happened millennia ago. The driver of the 4x4 makes you live the desert!

        Great people, good service
        Honestly, it was good. I am glad that we decided to go with a tour operator (first time in my life) and me and my girlfriend decided to go with them. We planned a tour to the pyramids. Quite good, the guide was super fun and she took a lot of pictures of us. Then we went to siwa and spent the afternoon in the desert (totally worth it) And to the white and black desert, we camped there during the night. All personnel was great, all the drivers, the guides etc were patient. Only one comment: for longer trips some things are not well planned. Es. If you stop in Marsa Matruh, you won’t eat on the sea but at a not very attractive restaurant inside of the city. El Alamein museum is ok, nothing special. Food sometimes (especially if they will take you) it will be kind of the same all around. (We insisted to change scenarios sometimes). The best thing about this trip: the people we met and the scenery.

        Wonderful 4 days in the desert
        We had a very excellent trip in Fayoum and Baharyia Oasis, visiting wadi rayan and white and black desert. The organisation has been very accurate and we spent 4 days in amazing places through different landascpes, unique in the world. The package is a kind of all inclusive and you do not have extra surprise (of course consider tips on top), so this is a plus. We had different drivers all of them very good and experts but a special thanks goes to Fares our guide from Sun Pyramids Tours that stayed with us during the all tour taking care of every aspect of our program, he had a gentle and supportive attitude that let us live at best our desert our adventure.

        Best tour ever
        I reserved a tour guide for two days the first day I had the pleasure of taking a tour with Mohab, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts and stories that brought every location to life. It was clear that he has a deep passion for the history and culture of the area, and his enthusiasm was contagious. On the second day had an amazing experience with Dalia! Not only was she a fantastic tour guide, but she also had an incredible eye for photography. Thanks to Dalia I now have a collection of breathtaking photos to cherish for a lifetime. Beyond that, Dalia was warm, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed every moment.

        Wonderful New Year Eve in Cairo.
        This was our first time in Cairo and we wanted to be sure to spend a wonderful new years eve over there so we decided to book for 31st of December before leaving for Egypt. The girl Martina Magdi, was super nice, providing the best location and a nice and safe minivan to pick us up from our hotel and back. The guide, Mohamed (l'italiano) was very friendly, she stayed with us all the time and helped us with the photos, he even gave us his internet connection to his phone, because the restorant didn't have any wifi. The only thing is that the prices are a little bit too much!

        A family ride from the north to the south
        We took a 6-night trip: Cairo-(car)-Alexandria-(car)-Cairo-(train)-Aswan-(car)-Abu Simbel-(car)-Aswan-(train)-Luxor-(car)-Hurghada family tour (2 adults, 1 child). The agents picked us up at Sphinx airport, and the final destination of the trip was our hotel near Hurghada. We went to Cairo and then to the hotel, where we had a day just to sightsee the center of the capital. All the hotels the agency booked for us were great. In Cairo, it was the Cosmopolitan Hotel – an old and beautiful hotel with Victorian-style architecture. The next day, we went to Alexandria by car (2.5 hours one way). We visited Qaietbay citadel in Alexandria, Pompey’s Pillar, Alexandria Catacombs (amazing!) and Alexandria Library. Day 3 – we went to Giza to see the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. Then, we visited the Cairo Museum. The agency bought train tickets for us to Aswan from Giza for $70 per person. We really wanted to try Egyptian trains, but unfortunately, we weren't informed that this train was not a sleeper, with seats only. As I found out later, the sleeper one costs $90. The problem is that you cannot book it online, so thanks to the agency for buying the tickets for us. However, the 13-hour overnight train wasn't really comfortable – I couldn't sleep at all in those seats. The agency should have informed us about this issue. Day 4 – Aswan – 3-hour ride to Abu Simbel. We were exhausted but happy, thanks to Ahmed (our Aswan and Abu Simbel guide). We visited the High Dam. Aswan is in my heart! Hotel Citymax was in the city center and was also good. Day 5 – We visited Philae Temple and the unfinished obelisk. We also bought an extra boat trip to the Nubian Village ($120). Train to Luxor (3 hours). Day 6 – We stayed at Jolie Ville Resort, visited the Valley of the Kings, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, alabaster workshops, Luxor Temple, Colossi of Memnon and Karnak. After lunch, they gave us a ride to our hotel (4 hours). Thanks for the tour planning and all the work to Yosef Mahmoud and Mustafa Mohamed! The whole price of the tour is $2650. P.S. Tips in Egypt are a nightmare. Even a policeman can ask you for one. In our case, a policeman helped us not to miss our train (because there is no clear timetable at the station). Another man on the train set our case on the shelf and demanded $5 tips. I should have shown him the ticket price (the price for foreigners is much more expensive), but I bargained to 150 LE ($1.50). Really annoying. A tip against tips – don't let the locals help you if you don't need it – they will demand tips afterward.

        STAY AWAY
        THEY ARE A TOTAL SCUM!! We booked for a tour in Cairo and they sent us a "guide" that didnt speak well any language and he didn't know literally ANYTHING about egypt or egyptian culture. We called the agency and they said that a new guide will arrive, we waited by ourself for more than 4 hours, each time delaying and finding new excuses. Other than that we booked a nile dinner and it was absolutely not worth the price. STAY AWAY FROM THEM, choose another company or do it by yourself.

        Cairo city tour
        Mohammad Italiano was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and worked to create a unique experience for my private tour. He was engaging and helped me get out of my comfort for trying food, culture, and shopping. His haggling skills came in handy more than once out in town. I highly recommend this experience for anyone interested!

        Great tour - value for money
        We are a party of 4 and went on a slight customized tour covering the Coptic Quarter and the Bazaar. The tour guide and driver were very good. However, the vehicle while sufficiently large, is slightly old and stuffy - it could be a cleaner vehicle. Overall, it is an excellent tour considering the amount charged.

      1. Pick up late
      2. When call the sun tour booking no one respond
      3. Guide was too eager to finish the tour
      4. When was at the museum, didn't give much time to explore
      5. Worst of all experience- they use the term EDUCATIONAL TOUR
      This tour is to withdraw money from you forcing you buy stuffs that you don't intend to. The guide clearly get a comission on this. 3/4 of the tour was bringing me to places to sell stuffs at high prices to me and she tag it as educational tour.
      6. The luch was just a street meat shawarma disgusting that i had gastro for 2 weeks
      7. She forced me to give her a 5 star review.
      8. She called me after some days to modify my review.

      Don't recommend this tour.

      Today we spent most of the day at the Egyptian Museum learning and discovering the overwhelming amount of archeological artifacts. Our guide, Hahmoud Emam, was a fountain of knowledge. He made the trip interesting and joyful. We got to see King Tutankhamen’s Tomb, Mask, and jewelry as the grand finale. We also visited the Citadel where we marveled at the Ali Mohamed Pasha Mosque. This tour is a must If you visit Cairo.

      Our guide, Hahmoud Emam, main concern is that we are always hydrated, well fed, having fun, and mostly that we feel safe. This is such an incredible experience never to be forgotten….
