- lotuswend0 contributionsExperience of a lifetime Egyptian adventureAn excellent tour starting in Luxor. Packed with experiences brought to life by knowledge guides.

I would definitely recommend this company.Written December 1, 2023
- R452TTkevink0 contributionsFelucca Boat RideGreat tour company went for a boat ride in Nile and it was fantastic. Picked us up and dropped us off and went to a local coffee shop. A+ jobWritten August 31, 2023
- kmoya0680 contributionsSuperb! Thrilling Quad Bike Experience!Superb experience! We were picked up at our hotel in the West Bank, got on a water taxi and then a tuk tuk to the Quad bikes site! The driver did not speak English and so Merna the operator stayed available and provided us with information every step of the way! She was flexible and communicated with us quickly. The Quad bikes guys were the best! Mondi was our guide and he allowed us to have a full and super fun experience!! We had a tea time break at the top of a sand mountain and watched the sunset! They took us home promptly. Best quad bike experience! Everyone along the way was super friendly. Would highly recommend!Written June 26, 2023

- 604elenid0 contributionsVery good organized tour from Hurghada to CairoReally well organized trip by Rokaya. Rokaya did the best to let us feel comfortable and the communication was perfect. Our contact person was always available at every time for us! Never experienced such a careful service. I would definitely recommend this trip. We saw so much in only one day! We definitely come back and book the next tour by Sheba tours.Written December 15, 2019
- Swilin Sam P0 contributions4 day Nile cruiseAmazing service. Youstina and crew in Sheba tours have been absolutely fantastic. Quick response and great communication. Everything was arranged quickly and efficiently and at very good prices. Very very happy customer here and would definitely recommend them for an tour in Egypt. They were willing and able to tailor the tours to my timetable and liking. Perfect!!Written September 3, 2019
- Sailylucas0 contributionsLovely charming Trip!Everything worked fine. We were two. The guide spoke very good English and was very nice. In general, we got along great with the whole group and felt a bit safer in the crowd. Can recommend it to anyone who is on holiday in EgyptWritten August 23, 2019
- Leomark00 contributionsExcellent, relaxing, peaceful ride in Felucca on NileI did the tour with Mohammad and it was awesome. Excellent tour guide with a passion for the English language and super nice. The boat was very relaxing. I went around 5pm to catch the sun settingWritten August 20, 2019
- Olivia_anton0 contributionsvery satisfied!The trip to Luxor was worth every euro! We were punctually picked up in front of the Grand Resort with a minibus and taken directly to the big bus. The trip was very pleasant, as the bus was air conditioned and after the first time could catch up with the rest sleep, the tour guide in good English told a short version of the Egyptian history. On site we had again a very good guide with doctorate in Egyptian history and very good English . With a visit to the Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings and another temple (name forgotten ^ ^) the day was packed, but still very fascinating. Before lunch (good Egyptian buffet) you had the opportunity for 16 € per person a carriage ride through Luxor with subsequent Nile crossing to make. This is highly recommended, since you should have been on the Nile and you drive in the coach ride directly through a bazaar in the old townWritten June 18, 2019
- Jennifer_luis0 contributionsgood dayWe have just finished the Giftun trip It's really a very enjoyable trip We made three stops, first in a beach and then on two different islands. We swimed and saw the wonderful coral reefs and different fish species using the tools we received at the beginning of the trip I was amazed to deal with the people on this trip, especially Ahmed, who was interested in everyone on the trip because he was a diver and when I fell my glasses of sea , he swimmed and brought it to me again Actually I would recommend everyone to make such a tripWritten May 29, 2019
- Vyolette50 contributionsIncredible tourExcellent day trip and value for money, a full on itennery but truly making the most of the day. To start the day at 5am our driver was lovely, very helpful and we had plenty of opportunities to stop along the way. On the way back he even treated us all to a sugar cane drink just perfect at the end of a long hot day. On arrival into Luxor we met our guide, was just 3 of us so gave plenty of time to ask questions and be able to listen to all of his information was very informative. Be sure to take plenty of Egyption poinds to valley of the kings was an extra 300 Egyption for a photo pass and although the trip included the cost of visit to 3 tombs for an extra 250 egyption per person you can visit king Tutankhamun tomb so worth it in my opinion. After lunch we also had the option for 200 egyption to enjoy a 45min Nile cruise rather than the bus to the next temple visit again this was a lovely add to the trip. Overall excellent I cant fault it in any way and would highly reccomendWritten May 24, 2019
- Umedraisoni0 contributionsWonderful trip planned by sheba toursAswan-abu simbel-complete luxor was our trip for 6 days. We had excellent cars, good guides, and wonderful experience. Added to it MARWA Madam from sheba team was alwaz available for any kind of adjustments and problems... Mr. Moustafa , our guide was good for knowledge but very pressing for tips to everyone and in regards to amount also. He used to brag $5-10 is not big not big...i guess my american and european friends have this habit of taking and giving tips to the extend of upto 50% of costs... And instilled this bad habits of begging for tips all over egypt...from toilets to boats to guards at site seeing places...everyone expects tips in egypt!!!!!!! Anyway thanks to sheba tours we were safe, happy and with minimal headache. Hot air ballon ride , another feather in sheba cap!!! Everything was on time, as per detailed specifications...no cheating at all in regards to money matters. And the rates provided by sheba tours is competitive, honest and most genuine. I checked many tour operators before finalizing with sheba. All had european and american rates , any tour $80-$100 for full day. With fuel at less than half a dollar , i dont understand how other operators can charge such high rates.. but sheba had honest rates... Not a dollar/euro extracting company... We had a private tour-car , well maintained clean tourist vans.... I hope you organise your website more nicely.Written May 1, 2019
- joaocoelho930 contributionsBoat Trip and Service provide during the accommodationThe support provide us it was really amazing. I really like because the manager was always worried about me and if everything is working on the right way. The company make me also a big surprise on my birthday, so it's something that I will always remember. In my opinion the service support during the trip is excellent. The quality of the boat was also really good and the guide/tour in general was also really good I will recommend this trip to my friends and familyWritten April 22, 2019

I would avoid this tour if possible.
We had a 4:45am pickup and was ready for this tour but no one came to get us. When I inquired, they said they would come at 5:45 instead, an hour later than scheduled. Still, no one came. Then the sun started to rise around 6:00, I inquired again with frustration that the balloon ride was suppose to be during sunrise and that we would miss it. 20minutes later they completely cancelled our tour.
I think this is very unprofessional costumer service.

(Mirna & Asma). I joined the group to experience the hot air balloon flight in Luxor and it was great. Be aware that sometimes the flight can be cancelled (even last minute), because of the weather, but this time I was lucky enough to fly. It was magical, thanks to the coordinator Mirna (the communication over Whatsapp was perfect) and our guide/coordinator during the day Asma who also offered us breakfast and a dance show after the flight. The perfect start of a day. 100% recommended. Thanks to all.

It was an amazing experince w balloon. First of all Mirna helped us a lot about picking us from hotel, giving the all information and making sure we enjoyed the trip. After balloon trip there was a free breakfast activity but since we had to leave the city we couldn't attend :( People from the company was very friendly. I would totally recommend this activity.

We had our first hot balloon ride with Sheba tours.. They were the best providers given that the pilot took us to 2000 feet height after taking an extra approval from ATC. Groundstaff is also friendly and reached in time to pick us up. I would recommend Sheba to for your ve adventurous rides

The views were really amazing and the pilot was very friendly and talked to everyone the whole time and even pointed out a lot of the sights. I went with my fiancée and it was a very romantic time watching the sunrise and looking at all the views. We were a bit nervous at the beginning but once we were going up it was so smooth and we calmed completely.
Mirna was very helpful and upgraded us to try sunrise balloon ride (1st ride)
One thing to take note on though is they require “passport” pictures.
I would talk to them about this directly.
Don’t let it stop you from booking as it’s an amazing experience.

We booked this flight a few weeks before coming to Luxor.
Mirna contacted me on WhatsApp to organize the transfer, answer our questions etc.
The day before, she informed us that we could benefit from the first flight with sunrise at no extra charge, as well as a breakfast with an Egyptian show.
The flight was magnificent, the instructor was very kind and funny! You have a breathtaking view of the different sites.
We had an excellent time and we recommend this agency, we had no problems
Thanks to Mirna for her availability

I had a limited amount of time in Luxor and Rokaya worked with me in ensuring that I was able to make my reservations while still have a PHENOMENAL time enjoying the hot air balloon ride. The view and the overall experience were simply phenomenal. I can not recommend this tour enough for those that are in Luxor. It is an absolute must! Will be doing this again with them if I ever return to Egypt. Thank you again!

This tour was one of the best of our lives. We loved so much.
Mirna is a very good person and was always texting us to make sure that is everything ok.
Mirna also moved us to the first group, which made it possible to watch the sunrise in the balloon.
We are so grateful for that.

The experience was wonderful. Mirna contacted us by WhatsApp and informed us of all the details. The price is the best there is by far and everything went great. The pick-up time was at 5.40 although we didn't fly until a couple of hours later but it was because we didn't get the security permit that day by wind. I recommend it.

Bonjour , je n’arrive pas à réserver sur le site tripadvisor qui me signale à chaque paiement une erreur.
Puis-je avoir le contact de la personne qui organise pour que je puisse réserver mon vol en montgolfière ?
