Itinerary
- Pass byAswan
- 1You'll reach the site around 8am, and your professional Egyptologist guide will walk you through both the Great Temple, constructed for the greater glory of its builder, Ramses the Great, and the Lesser Temple, dedicated to his wife, Queen Nefertari. You'll learn not only how the temples were built to demonstrate Egyptian control over Nubia but how they were moved, piece by piece, from their original location when the Aswan High Dam flooded the original site. You'll also discover the different gods and rituals depicted in the carvings and reliefs. After a couple of hours exploring the temples, you'll return to the minivan for the 3-hour journey back to Aswan, arriving at your hotel or cruise ship in time for an early lunch.

- 668edsonr0 contributionsDaytrip from Hurghada to CairoLast month I took a day trip with Memphis tours from Hurgada to Cairo. From the pick up at the hotel and transport to the airport at Hurhada, to the pickup at Cairo and the trip back, everything went flawless. I met my very friendly tour leader Omar at the airport together with our driver and we had an authentic Egyptian breakfast on the way to meet my tour Guide Marwa Ghazal. Marwa was very passionate about the history and culture and most important for me, she was very knowledgeable on the subjects. We toured among others the Giza plateau, Coptic Cairo and the Egyptian Museum. We also did some shopping for authentic souvenir's and papyrus. The local cuisine was very tasty. I learnt a lot that day about (ancient) Egypt and all thanks to Marwa. Both Marwa and Omar took very good care of me during my stay in Cairo. I highly recommend this trip and I definitely want to return for additional tours and a longer stay. Hopefully this will be very soon. Shukran to both Marwa and Omar for the unforgettable experience!Written October 15, 2024

- ivan_nadj_beda0 contributionsReally exceeded my expectationsAt the last moment, we decided to book a tour to Cairo by plane from Hurghada. Having come across an excellent offer on the Internet by this agency, we immediately booked this excursion. We did not expect to receive such a service. People, we did not hope that this day will be one of the most beautiful in our lives. A private guide, who keeps Egyptian history at his fingertips and knows the best local places, showed us what the spirit of Cairo really is. If you are looking for a reliable agency, I can't imagine better. They exceeded all our expectations, had understanding and patience for us. On this occasion, I would like to thank the guide Saurat (Sasha) and the driver Walid for everything and to say that it is safe to travel to Egypt and see all the charms that this country offers. 100% recommended!!!!Written December 27, 2021

- MilanKrs0 contributionsCairo in the palm of your handThis tour is a fantastic experience. After an hour of flight from Hurghada at the airport in Cairo we were met by our guide Tharwat Abdul Monem. This wonderful man introduced us to Cairo in the most beautiful way possible. We enjoyed while he took us on a tour of museums, pyramids, holy places, ... In a wonderful way, he introduced us to the history and current way of life of the people who live here. We felt welcome, safe and inspired during the whole excursion. We are especially grateful to the organizer of the excursion Mohammed Thanks and see you again soonWritten April 27, 2021
- GrandTour2153500 contributionsUnseen CairoWe wanted to see unusual Cairo (+ pyramids of Giza) and Mr. Mohamed did his best: we saw pyramids of Giza, were rided camels, did perfect photos, later passed through renovated Tahrir Square and Talat Harb Square with it's European style buildings, walked in Khan el Khalili bazar and islamic Cairo. Also it was so interesting to see Dead city (where people live in cemetery) and Simon Kharaz Church in Mokattam mountain, which is located in Garbage city. Thank you so much - it was amazing experience, exactly what we wanted!Written April 15, 2021

- geuden240 contributionsAbsolute rip-off; uncomfortable van journey and rushes from the main paid for sightseeingMorning Journey: We were picked up from our hotel in a little local van which had seen better days (max 12-14 people) but thought it’s only the local pick-up... how wrong we were. The drivers did not speak more than. Couple words of English and basically ignored us from the start, we picked up two more groups (both German) so was a quiet journey. We soon realised that we weren’t being driven to a air-conditioned coach as expected for the main journey - but were doing the 6 hour ride in this tiny old mini-van which was cramped and uncomfortable. We stopped once for a rest on route - the drivers just parked up and opened the door, didn’t speak to us or tell us how long we were stopping for or anything and just walked off. Worst road trip I’ve ever had.. Itinerary: The day wasn’t as advertised at all, we were taken straight to the Egyptian museum and then met with a tour guide - a German tour guide. We joined an other mini-van full of Germans and were taken around the museum for 30mins. Mostly we were listening to German with brief English paraphrasing thrown in for just us (only 2 English in group of 14), we were very disappointed. We then had 30 mins free time - that is not enough for this huge museum! We were rushed out so that we could take part in a additional charge activity- a nice cruise. We tried to decline as were not interested but were pressured into going along @ 200 LE each (£20 for both). It was a short boat ride seeing some buildings along the Nile and hearing both German and Italian tour guides speaking to groups. On this trip there were 2 other English with their own tour guide and we were moved to them to save our tour guide keep repeating himself. I would have preferred more time in the museum to explore. We then went to lunch in a restaurant in Giza (not the Nile as advertised) which was fine. Then we went to the Pyramids! Finally the main point of our visit to Egypt! When we arrived we were taken straight to the far point which we had been told would give us an amazing view of all three pyramids and the Sphinx in one photo. Turns out his amazing photo is only available if you pay extra (again) and go on a canal or horse cart - the way these animals looked/ were treated was a huge red flag and we refused - that’s a whole other story. Because we didn’t want the rides were wee given 30 mins free time. Considering the size of the site this only got us two one and took some photos. We were then driven back down the the largest so we could climb the steps and get some photos (15mins) and then taken to the small free entry pyramid for a quick look inside (15 mins), then it was back to the mini-van for a drive to the Sphinx - we got out the van at the roadside and took photos (5mins) and then were hustled off again. The main attraction and were weren’t there much more that 70 mins. We were being taken to an extra destination- an old family cafe for drinks/ toilet etc (extra charges again - getting the picture) but his time the whole group had had enough and said no thanks - we would like to leave. So the drivers.... walked off! Yep they went in anyway and left us in the van for 30 mins without talking to us or explaining anything - again. Return journey: Then it was the looong and rickety journey home - the vans door was having issues and was making god awful screeching noises which meant no one could sleep or relax, and we had to keep stopping for them to hit it with a rock and slam it shut again and again. We stopped for a toilet break after 4 hours driving at a cafe and again the drivers just left us and didn’t say what they were doing/ how long we’d be here... Tour guide: Was friendly enough but we felt like an unwanted extra to the German party - several times he would give instructions and details to the party in German and then start walking off so I had to ask - what did you say? Then would get a couple of words - oh we are going there.. not what he had been saying to the rest in more details. Do not recommend! We also did a day trip (Luxor) via the Thomson rep and that was 100% better value and more comfortable - The guide was also giving us tips and pointers and ensuring we had toilet and drink breaks and kept us fully in the loop... Very disappointed as this was our main reason for choosing Egypt and we didn’t get to stay at the sights we paid for as they wanted to take us to other places and pay more.Written September 3, 2019
