About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Roving6900900 contributionsThanks to Yomna SalamaWe have traveled to Egypt 3-4 times in the past 10 years, and have loved having Yomna Salama as our tour guide. She is incredibly knowledgeable, has excellent English and a delightful personality. We have loved being with her, and feel she is one of the best guides we've had in the world. We recommend her highly and without any reservation to our friends.Written December 4, 2020
- Diane P0 contributionsYomna Salama is a fabulous tour guideWe have been with Yomna Salama on multiple occasions as she has been our guide in Egypt. She is very knowledgeable and professional with a great personality. We traveled with her before 2020.Written December 3, 2020
- sharpshooter47130 contributionsVery historicHad a blast, and learned alot from one of the best tour guides out there. This tour was very well explained and detailed. I would love to come back another time and get to know alot more about Egypt and its history. After all Egypt is where it all began.Written December 3, 2020
- TresbienTraveller0 contributionsThe Guide Makes the Trip!Yomna was knowledgeable and conveyed that information in a way that has stayed with us! She is an effective educator!Written December 3, 2020
- Pvossler0 contributionsYomna-the best guide in CairoMy trip to Egypt was made wonderful by this knowledgeable guide. She was so knowledgeable in Egyptology, art and Islam. I learned so much more than I anticipated. Besides the usual sites, She also took us to unusual places such as the Geyer Anderson Museum, a mosque and the bazaar. She truly made our trip to Egypt unforgettableWritten November 29, 2020
- kedhermanla0 contributionsPharaohs & PyramidsSince retiring, I have literally traveled the world and experienced many, many guides along the way. By far and away one of the best guides I have encountered was Yomna Salama for our Nile River cruise and Cairo experience. She has a wonderfully magnetic personality that is only accentuated by her astounding knowledge of the antiquities, temples, mosques, and overall history of Egypt. Her love and enthusiasm of sharing all things Egypt is palpable and contagious. She said from the outset that she welcomed all manner of questions and answered them openly and honestly, and some of those questions were rather sensitive in nature. Handled them flawlessly, and in so doing gave us all a better and greater understanding cultural norms and beliefs. Absolutely loved her honesty and openness. I wasn't keen on this trip to Egypt due to a prior negative experience, but this trip was a first for one of my travel companions, so I and our other two travel companions tagged along as it was the first leg of a longer trip. We have zero regrets doing the trip for its scope and depth alone (if only I could remember all I heard!), and thanks to having Yomna as our group's guide, I have a far better understanding and appreciation of ancient Egypt. She was the icing on the cake. Thank you, Yomna!Written November 28, 2020
- janeteheckman0 contributionsYomnaYomna is by far the best guide I have ever used in 40 years of traveling in the Middle East. Over the 4 years we lived in Egypt Yomna guided us all over this amazing country. She has amazing experience, knowledge and contacts which meant access to sites where other tour guides couldn’t enter. She is highly knowledgeable in Egyptology, Islamic Art and architecture and as well as Coptic art and culture. I used her over the 4 years not just for my own travel but for VIP business colleagues who visited Egypt . Yomna is has a bubbly fun personality and is great to be with. My trips with Yomna included a Dhabiya ( boat) 5 day trip on the Nile, sights of Luxor and Aswan, saqqara, the pyramids, Memphis, as well as Coptic and Islamic Cairo. I strongly recommend Yomna for an Egyptian experience you won’t regretWritten November 27, 2020
- Michelle D0 contributionsAn Amazing Trip with an Amazing GuideImagine being virtually the only tourists at the Great Pyramids, Luxor and Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Gods. This is what it is like to travel during Covid. I just got back from an amazing trip to Egypt with my three adult children and, thanks to the help of Nahla at Egyptraveluxe, it could not have been more perfect! She arranged a fantastic itinerary that included all of the major sights in Luxor as well as a day long trip to Abu Simbel. Our initial plan was to then fly to Cairo and visit the Pyramids and Alexandria on our own, but after experiencing the ease, safety and incredible knowledge that traveling with a guide provides you, we retained her to accompany us to Cairo. This was the best decision we made. Nahla is incredibly knowledgeable of Egyptian history and was so enjoyable to spend our days with. The transportation she arranged was clean and roomy and we even had a police escort with us for the 8 hour drive to Abu Simbel. She assisted us with going to a currency exchange, getting a local SIM card, and bringing us to clean and safe places for Egyptian street food which we wanted to try. She also negotiated prices for our camel ride at the Pyramids so we would not be taken advantage of. We never felt uneasy or unsafe during our time in Egypt and it was incredible to visit these historic sites without mobs of other tourists. If you are able, now is a great time to travel to these "bucket list" sites and I strongly recommend working with Egyptraveluxe & Nahla!Written November 25, 2020
- sonjaNephtys0 contributionsGreat adventure trip with very experienced guide!I had the pleasure to visit the breathtaking step pyramid of saqqara again after the big restoration works. The tombs in saqqara are really magnificent, fantastic scenes and preserved colors ❤️Memphis , the old capital is also worth a visit and of course the great pyramids and the sphinx... absolutely mind blowing!! Thanks so much to my guide Nahla for this great adventures ! I can’t wait to go back; waiting for the great museum to open soon!!Written October 13, 2020
- kymblair0 contributionsAwesome Egypt Guide - Best Ever!Nahla guided our family of 6 around Luxor and Cairo for 5 days and arranged a balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings. Nahla is extremely knowledgeable (degrees in Egyptology), patient (we wandered away sometimes), and kind (brings chicken for the stray dogs). Her prices are very reasonable, and she tries to tune the tour to our individual needs. She found us a fabulous hotel overlooking the Nile, including breakfast, at a very good price. Best memories of our life, because of Nahla!Written January 18, 2019
- Latharina K0 contributionsAmazing trip to Luxors Tombs and TemplesWe booked a five-day trip to Luxor and it was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide was Nahla and she was really fantastic. She arranged everything (individual program) and she knows so much. It was so much fun to listen to all her stories. I would definitvely recommend this tour to everybody. Thanks for an amazing trip!Written December 4, 2018
- Kiranmoras10 contributions10 days Egypt tripWe, 4 families from india , totally 16 people including 2 kids, 3 senior citizens visited entire Egypt. Nahla had organised our travel from landing at Cairo to return back to mumbai from Cairo. It was an amazing experience. The vehicles to transport us around , scheduling of trips to various cities, places within, providing beautiful stories on history and anecdotes, experience to local food It was all in total fantastic trip and a very memorable one. All the credit goes to Nahla for her passion to make the traveller happy. Her genuinity to work with traveller is amazing. All the best..Written July 29, 2018
- Angelos A0 contributionsIdealic and amazing cruise and tours from Luxor to Abu SimbelWe were looking to have a private tour starting in Luxor and found Egyptraveluxe through a Cairo contact I had, Ahmed helped select an excellent cruise ship and all the additional sights I was looking for including arranging the special tombs of Seti I and Nefertari. Fantastic location and itinerary with an amazing cruise on the May Fair which was topped by very helpful and informative guides. Highly recommended and don't forget to go to Abydos and Dendera. Each day was better then the one before. Thanks AhmedWritten April 16, 2018
- ALBugazia0 contributionsA mesmerizing time !Nahla is amazing. She is punctual, flexible and helpful. She is passionate and has extensive knowledge of the history and the hieroglyph. She loves and respects the archaeological sites, she is kind to every one, even animals in the desert where she brings food and water to nourish them. She treated us like family and was very patient and accommodating. she attended to our every need and checked on us to make sure we were doing OK until we left the country ( 10 days after the tour had already ended). Her drivers are also nice and punctual. I have learnt so much from her and will definitely come back to tour with her. PS. Nahla has connections to show you things very few people in the world have seen, just ask!Written February 20, 2018
- divyaprasad41880 contributionsAccommodative, informative, fun and budgeted without compromising tour quality!We are an Indian couple working in the US who decided to vacation in Egypt for 2017 thanksgiving break. Since most of the local bookings in Egypt are not supported online and almost always require arabic skills, we chose to use a travel agent to arrange the entire itinerary for us. We contacted about ~15 travel agents online, and got the most satisfying response along with the best price quotes from Egyptraveluxe. They had customized the itinerary and taken care to include the destinations we wanted to go (unlike others who just sent us a standard template) and allowed us plenty of flexibility as well. They also made all the bookings without taking any deposit from us (their credit card machine was broken and there was no safe way to transfer the money, hence); there was a trust relationship from day 1. Our entire Egypt experience was wonderful and memorable, thanks to our guides who were well versed in English, extremely kind and accommodative of our preferences, informative of the history details / facts and figures, interspersed with fun anecdotes & stories, and always willing to answer our sometimes basic/unrelated/silly questions with patience. With my photo requirements we expected to tire them out with our camera requests but they were always happy to click, we have some great photos that I will add in the review. Our 8 day package included the following destinations: Cairo - Giza pyramids and sphinx, egyptian musuem, bazaar; flight to Aswan and check in to a nile cruise - philae temple, high dam, nubian village, felucca ride, Aswan market; Sail to Edfu - KomOmbu temples, Sail to Luxor - Luxor temple, Karnak temple, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut temple; flight to Cairo and drive to Alexandria - library, roman theatre, catacombs, pompei pillar. If you are looking for a quality tour of Egypt with services that's worth every penny, with kind and well-spoken guides who can enrich your experience all the more, staying in pyramid view rooms of 5 star hotels for a discounted price etc etc, I strongly recommend Egyptraveluxe travel agency, you will not be disappointed :-). Special mention to our guide Nahla who went above and beyond to make sure our experience was pleasant every step of the way, and to our second guide Islam who ensured we return home with not just good pictures but also some in-depth knowledge about the ancient culture, beliefs and architecture (and a bit of ability to read the hieroglyphics too!) They say a vacation is more about the people than the places, and that rings so true. Truly thankful to everyone from egyptraveluxe, our fellow tourists (some of whom became very good friends) and the local egyptians for making our few days there so very memorable. My two cents to future tourists: 1. Wear comfortable flats, there will be a lot of walking around on unlevel ground 2. Carry both egyptian pounds and your country currency, for tipping and shopping etc 3. Security concerns - have none. We were in the same boat before going there, unsure of the safety, but after visiting all tourist spots and seeing so many military men and police securing them diligently, we were more than assured. 4. Try the local cuisine, it is a must! We fell in love with their koshary, bashara, molokhia, some kind of banana pudding with pomegranates and phul :-) There were a lot of vegetarian dishes, we never fell short of options.Written November 30, 2017

It was our amazing and unforgettable trip to Luxor! I had agreed with Egyptravelux to have a private pick up from Hurghada hotel where we had stayed and to have a trip to Luxor with one overnight in the Hotel there. I appreciated the way it was organized from the side of the agency, the choice of the Hotel, the schedule and the best timing for visits temples, I appreciated the punctuality and accuracy of the driver, my best regards and appreciation to the guide-egyptologist for the the great professionalism and the most interesting excursions we could ever have!

While working in Cairo I had the opportunity for a weekend out of the capital. I needed something well planned, seamless and with minimal stress. This company was recommended by my hotel and they did not disappoint. Day one was a full day on the west bank exploring tombs and temples. It was not rushed and I had plenty of time to do my own thing and just wonder around in awe. The guides were always on time, very knowledgable and all has previous experience with tours of all sizes. Drivers were good although the Mini Van for myself alone felt like overkill. Day two was temples on the East side including Karnak and Luxor followed by two hours learning to sail a Felucca.
Great guides, no requests for 'extras', everything on time and I never felt rushed. My biggest disappointment was that I needed to return to Cairo! Highly recommended team.

In august 2017 i hired the private tour to Cairo and Luxor from this agency during my anual vacation planning. It was going to be the first time in Egypt and I did the search and deals using the internet.
When I arrived Cairo airport, Ms Nahla was already waiting for me and had the plan ready for the next days. She planned my stay in Egypt with perfection and I was able to visit all important places in a very otpimized and productive way. After Cairo, we also met in Luxor, where she also made herself a great guide as she has impressive knowledge of the history and the sites. I am really glad I found the private tour company because i really used my trip time to visit, explore and enjoy, rather than taking care of day planning. Next year I will go back and take my friends with me.
