        reliable and responsive!
        Use Pharoahs Tour for transfer to and from the airport because: 1. Uber is unreliable and the drivers will often PM you asking for more money, which is problematic if you don't have cash. 2. Sometimes hotels will also upcharge you if you need an airport transfer outside of normal business hours. 3. It'll give you peace of mind. I used Pharoahs for a transfer from my hotel to the airport. I booked it very last minute at 9:00 PM for a transfer at 01:30 AM that following day. Wafeek was VERY responsive and was so reliable. I'm so glad I used Pharoahs Tour!

        Expensive and the manager is very bad
        First it’s very expensive. You pay 160€ for beginners! Than, the manager, from Poland, was very bad to his people! He screamed very loud to them in front of us! This is not professional!! The water is full of ashole shells. The Equipment is very old

        Very awesome trip
        Me and my girlfriend took this trip not knowing what to expect. Both of us never dived before. The instructors are professional at what they are doing. The have great sense of humour and entertain all tourists. First dive lasted 25 minutes as we learned how to use the equipment. Second dive was at the depth of 9m for approximately 40min. Seen a lot of different kinds of fish and corals. The food on the boat was okay - don't expect too much for this money. We have seen dolphins swimming in the sea. Unfortunately they haven't jumped. Advise for others - bring some extra food and drink with you as the sea makes you hungry and youll also need suncream if you want to lie exposed to the sun. The boat was very spacious and comfortable. Its possible to sit in shade and out in the sun. Great trip and value for money.

        That must be the best job ever
        Went there on Monday 21st Jan 2019. Picked up from hotel at 8am for short drive to the dive centre. Picked up flippers and goggles and snorkel (anytime you're not scuba diving you can snorkel about the reefs) then a short transfer from the dock to the boat. Beautiful boat.(remember the boats name incase you go snorkelling too far and forget where you are) The 2 of us had our own personal instructor/guide who spoke excellent English. The lunch food was a small buffet but delicious. The reefs were beautiful and soo much wildlife. A mini ship wreck at the reef on the second dive which was cool. Constant communication to check we were ok and point out any unusual or outstanding sites. It was my first day scuba diving and I can't wait to do it again Would definitely recommend these guys. Professional, reassuring, kind and accommodating to any requests we had.

        Dissapointed
        Lots of waiting around, not given any water. Bikes were slow and drivers were very Authoritative. We had to pay for scarfs and Gogles after spending almost £35 per person. Why drive for 30mins in a jeep into the desert to ride a camel for 2mins then drive back. Waste of time, could of done the camel ride closer!! Was cold after sunset could have offered blankets. Food BBQ was good. Very commercial just want to sell you photos, videos and stuff and don’t give much explanation. Did a similar trip in Dubai was much better more fun and well organised. Music was shocking very geared for kids and kept the same song on repeat for 20 mins. Some parts were fun but overall expensive.

        Never again
        I booked it for myself and kids (9&13). BIG MISTAKE! First of all the quads are not for kids, and definitely not for me. Driving it at almost 50 km/h was way too fast for me, but as we were in convoy I had no choice but to keep up. Kids were on a quadbike with one of the guides who at some point fell off it while riding, leaving my children on their own in still moving quad! Riding non stop for 2h on very hard, bumpy ground is dangerous, very draining, and not fun at all. You certainly dont enjoy the views as you have to concentrate of steering and keeping the quadebike in control! Everything was hurting me afterwords and I honestly couldn't face going back on it to go back from the dessert. Unfortunately I had no choice, and nobody has offered me any help. It was a scary and dangerous experience. I believe its only suitable for stronger men and very sporty women, but not for me or my family. Also keep in mind that you will be forced to buy scarfs and rent googles (additional £5 per person), and of course you can purchase video and photos (definitely worth it, Ali, the photographer was the only really nice guy from the whole crew, the rest of them were acting like they doing us a favor to be there) Food (dinner) is very basic but tasty. Camel ride very short but kids loved it. I would definitely try jeep ride, but never again quadebikes! And probably I would try to use different company. I found our main guide rude and not very informative. Collection and drop off was in a dirty, overloaded jeep, with way too many people in it. So altogether it was a dreadful experience.

        Brilliant day of diving and snorkeling
        We booked our diving trip through Pharaoh and it was organised very very well. We were picked up on time from our hotel - driver and guide - and taken to our boat which I believe was run by another company - we had the very best day - the team on the boat were great and not only did my daughter get over 1.5 hrs of diving but i snorkeled, fished and swam in some of the bluest and clearest water ever. We were fed and entertained. Once back in port our driver and guide were waiting for us to return us to our hotel. I am sure we could have booked directly with the boat company but Pharaoh travels just made it very easy and straightforward and all for a very reasonable price. Thank you

        Amazing
        Amazing, we love to do this Trip. I recommend everyone to do this trip. We have seen the amazing corals and a lot of fish and a turtle. The staff is super friendly. Do not come to Hurghada and not doing this.

        A short but bumpy ride in a 4x4 from your hotel, but a fun day out indeed.
        A short but bumpy ride in a 4x4 from our hotel took us to the Hurgada desert just a few miles out of Hurgada. Here we enjoyed a 40 minute Quad bike ride in the desert followed by a 20 minute ride in a "Spider". We then went on a Bedouin Safari trip to know about Bedouins life and tradition where we enjoyed a camel ride into the Hurghada desert. After and hour's drive back in a 4 x 4 we enjoyed amazing sunset views with a barbeque dinner and Bedouin show and folkloric dance. All in all a very enjoyable day and evening out. Well worth doing.

      I had a great experience with this travel agency. Staff were extremely professional and friendly. They gave me all the details of the trip and took care of every detail. The friendly treatment was palpable from the beginning, and they were always ready to answer any questions with patience and attention.

      As for prices, they are very fair compared to the services offered. The offers they make are consistent with the quality of travel and tourist programs. I recommend this office to anyone looking for an exceptional travel experience at reasonable prices.
