I am a tour operator, and I worked with High End Journeys to customize a tour for (22) of my clients in April 2024.
We spent time in Cairo, Nile River Cruise to Luxor, Aswan with a five day extension tour to Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab at the Red Sea as well as Mt. Sinai.
After the events in Israel and Gaza in Oct, some of my clients were afraid to go. The team at HEJ worked with me to have Zoom calls with my client group and answered all of their questions and addressed their concerns. Everyone decided to go and they were so glad they did. They all said they felt silly for being so concerned about events in another country, but we understood. When we got there, everyone completely forgot about their previous worries, and we were met with a wonderfully, exciting and stress free two weeks. Everyone happily shared with their concerned relatives back home, the photos and stories of the fun they were having.
High End Journeys from airport pickup at the beginning to airport drop off at the end, they took care of our every wish and dream!
We didn't wait in any long lines, all of our dining experiences were top notch, and we all agreed that we probably over-indulged in the delicious food presented to us! Lol!
Everything flowed so smoothly with our transportation and all of our excursions. The entire team treated us like we were VIP clients, and like we were the only people that mattered the entire time. They also gave us a few off the beaten path surprises that thrilled us! Sorry, but I won't mention them here just in case other travelers didn't get those specific surprises....I don't want to get the HEJ team in trouble with their other travelers. Lol! But I'm sure everyone that has ever used them, has had their own surprises and great experiences.
I've used them every year since 2016 and already have 2025 tours set up for my group travel.
High End Journeys has earned my trust and commitment and I won't travel to Egypt with any other organizations, guides or Egyptologist.
I hope that prospective client travelers will not hesitate to travel to Egypt now because it's completely safe and we did not encounter even one incident or threat of trouble. Trust me, this is my business and I would never put my clients who trust me or myself in any danger and I see that HEJ feels the same way!
HEJ you guys totally ROCK!! Pls continue the exceptional service that you provide for your clients and I know you will always be rated 5 Star like you are!!
See you next year!!!

HEJ helped us create the most fantastic itinerary for visiting the majestic ruins of ancient Egypt. We've travelled to many countries around the world but this 10 day trip to Egypt, with High End Journeys, was the trip of a lifetime. We were so very impressed with all aspects of their service. The representatives, the drivers and especially the two Egyptologist guides, Sussanna and Mark, were all superb. Everything was meticulously planned, with pickups, drop-offs and connections to internal flights running like clockwork. Thanks to some terrific driving through seemingly log-jammed streets, we never experienced any stressful moments. I would recommend anyone going to Egypt and wanting a wonderful personalized service, to contact High End Journeys.

I just got back from a 10 day trip to Egypt with High End Journeys. This company is amazing. Nada created our itinerary and they handled everything, from meeting us at the airport to driving us in our private van to booking our flights within Egypt and our Nile cruise. We were 3 adult women that never felt unsafe or nervous. Your employees are top notch. We had Amged as our Egyptologist in Luxor, Edfu, Aswan and Abu Simbel. He is simply the BEST. His knowledge is above and beyond anything I could have hoped for and he treated us like queens :) Mohamed in Luxor was also superb. He picked us at at 3:45am for our hot air balloon ride and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the morning, including our breakfasts. The Nile cruise was so enjoyable and since our boat did not have many guests we were able to get to know the crew of Movenpick Hamees. Another Mohamed who was part of the boat crew took care of us and made sure we had a great time. Our Cairo driver also deserves a shout out- Ehmed. I don't know how he stays so calm in those crazy streets of Cairo. He made sure our drives were smooth and that we were safe at all the stops we made. And also our Egyptologist in Cairo- Sherry was so informative and brought us to the most amazing lunch in Cairo. I cannot say enough great things about this company. I have been telling all my friends, family and coworkers to book their trips to Egypt and make sure to use High End Journeys!!! I hope some day I can go back and will definitely look to High End Journeys to plan my trip.

The team at High End Journeys is absolutely fantastic. We were planning a trip to Egypt and Jordan and after a lot of research, we fortunately chose them. They are super professional, very quick to respond to anything, their quotes and pricing are totally transparent. We were a group of 15 and spent 10 days in Egypt and 7 days in Jordan. HEJ was spot-on with all itineraries, suggestions, logistics, hotel and restaurant choices, etc. Their team of people is great, from drivers to Egyptologist and tour guide to logistics managers, they are all very professional, very friendly and most importantly, have true-knowledge of what they are doing. From the moment we got off the plane in Cairo to the moment we left they were there all the time taking care of us and at every moment going the extra mile to make sure everyone was happy. I would book a trip with them again any time!

High End Journeys arranged such a wonderful adventure for our family! We had the best time learning about the history and people of Egypt, eating great food, and staying in wonderful accommodations.

Our guide Amged was simply the best. He was so knowledgeable, very friendly and funny, and became a part of our family by the end of the trip!

He had such great recommendations for us beyond the High End Journeys itinerary, too -- including some stops that we didn't think we needed to see but ended up being some of our favorites. Additionally, he seamlessly added some of our special requests to the itinerary, like sitting at a cafe for tea in town.

The food on the Golden Boat was a particular highlight too. It was sooo good.

You won't be disappointed with Amged!!!

High End Journeys helped made our Egypt dreams come true.
1 Every detail finely choreographed right from pickup at airport and walking us thru immigration > hotel drop off/check in > Egyptologists as our guides. Ground logistics tour coordinator Ismail is fantastic. His job requires him to meet guests at odd hours for airport pickup/dropoff. Always there with a smile

2) Susannah Zakaria (Cairo) is fantastic. She knows so much having gotten a college degree. She did a walking tour of downtown Cairo, Navigated us thru Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) and the Giza Pyramids, and Saqqara.

3) Next we flew to Luxor, then onto the cruise to Aswan. Mohammed Hassan as our Egyptologist.
Mohamed Hassan is an absolute gem of a tour guide! He traveled with us from Luxor to Aswan, and Abu Simbel and made for a truly unforgettable experience thanks to his incredible expertise and vibrant personality. From the moment we met, Mohamed's passion for Egyptian history and culture was evident. He didn't just recite facts; he brought the stories to life, painting vivid pictures of pharaohs, gods, and ancient rituals. His knowledge of the sites was truly impressive, answering every question with depth and enthusiasm. What makes Mohamed unique is that he is also an archeologist and actively involved in current digs and explorations.

4) Back to Cairo, Ismail wisked us to Alexandria where we met another amazing guide Zahraa. Besides her local knowledge as Egyptologist, he is a foodie so we got to eat some amazing foods

Thanks to High End Journeys, our trip was so much more than just sightseeing; it was a truly immersive and enriching experience. They transformed our trip from great to extraordinary!

We have made new friends for life

Having spent close to 1 month in Egypt under the care of High End Journeys, I echo all that has been written. A dimension I've not read in other reviews is the fact that the people who work with/for High End Journeys enjoy working for them and choose to work with them whenever possible. That is an important aspect to me. A company that treats their employees well also allows for an improved guest experience. Egypt is a place where in country knowledge is critical. So, not only do they know the history, they know how to make the itinerary flow, when to visit which location, where to stop (and not stop) for lunch. We were treated as friends, honored guests, family. With the length of time I was there, it was a real advantage to have the same Egyptologists, one in Upper and another in Lower Egypt. Nagwan and Sussana were able to manage the itinerary to make the history and geographic locations flow and pace the explanations so as not to overwhelm us. We left it all up to them. We trusted their every decision! Our itinerary was created through an iterative process with Alaa. I provided him an understanding of the sorts of experiences we wanted, the types of hotels (boutique), the type cruise (dahabieh!) and he developed options. We were covered by their protective hand at every turn. Some of the people who supported us include Nagwan, Sussana, Alaa, Hesham, Kiro, Ahmed, Magdy, Nacrabieh and more whose names I'll never know! I am certain that whoever High End puts on your support team will be amazing and exceed any expectation you bring to the trip!

We had quickly worked with the High End Journeys team a customized private tour for a long weekend based in Cairo. It was a last minute trip that came up on Monday and we were arriving that Friday morning and staying through Sunday, so the goal was to have a seamless experience and maximize what we could see in a short amount of time. The team was super helpful in creating the program; we wanted a driver and an experienced Egyptologist throughout the journey. From the stories of the history of the sites to the timing coordination, everything was flawless. An unexpected highlight was our 5 star lunches in Giza overlooking the Pyramids and then on the Nile in a Felucca (sailboat); it was a dreamy, high end experience. The company and its team truly live up to their brand name, and we highly recommend them for anyone looking to see and experience the Best of Egypt! We will be back.

We only had a day in Cairo so wanted to get the best historical sites.
We were picked up at the hotel and went to Giza to see the pyramids, lunch at Khufu, followed by Museu of Egyptian Civilisation.
Impeccable service from all the High End Journeys Team, very friendly!
We were really impressed by Sussana Zakaria, the Egyptologist who spent the day with us. She not only knows all the history, she tells stories in a very interesting way (adapted to the public!). That’s not all, Sussana doubles as an incredible photographer! She takes the best pictures ever 😊
Definitely recommend booking with High End Journeys, the best guides for Egypt!

This company provides the best service! Eslam, our trip manager, picked us up from the airport, and managed all our trip logistics from the b beginning to the end. This included museum tickets, transportation, hotel pick up and drop off, and restaurant reservations. We were a large family group, and he was kind and patient with us, especially the needs of young children. Our Cairo Egyptologist, Myrna, was very knowledgeable and flexible with our family needs. Our Egyptologist in Alexandria, Zohra, was excellent. All drivers were careful and professional. We highly recommend HighEnd Journeys for anyone who is looking for a memorable and problem-free trip to Egypt.
