Our trip was a 3 generation family reunion, booked back in Sept 2022.
From the beginning, Abdulla, our tour consultant at Memphis Tours (aka Egypt Travel Gate) was very responsive and accommodating, answering quite a number of questions, providing different quotations, etc. We eventually booked 5 days / 4 nights on a dahabiya, sailing from Luxor (Esna) to Aswan in early Feb 2023.
As we got nearer to our date of travels, it took quite a few emails to get some answers to basic questions (e.g. dahabiya name, pick up place & time, actual itinerary, guide, contact details etc.) but these were provided within 72 hours of our booked departure (which we felt was a bit late, since we had to fly in from different countries/continents, the furthest of us needing over 24h to get there).
We were advised that our dahabiya would be the Nuba Nile and that it would be exclusive to our family (we had 4 cabins booked) – which was very good news indeed. It meant we could set our own timings for excursions and meals and we would have plenty of space.
The Nuba Nile is quite new (and under Dutch pavilion) and we found it very clean. We were surprised not to get a boat briefing which would have given us some useful insights, such as timing for hot water, usage of (reverse) air conditioners, the usual boat safety briefing, whether to flush toilet paper or not, etc.
The food on-board was excellent and plentiful, leading to over-indulgence by some family members; kudos to the Chef! All meals are served on deck and, on one night it was really cold (8oC) with a wind chill factor so we asked to move the dinner to the TV lounge, request which was promptly accommodated, and enabled us to be warm and savour a hot dinner. It should be noted that all food served on deck was lukewarm during our trip and a suggestion would be to have food warmers during the chilly months (rather than using rolls and rolls of cling wrap!).
The cruise was very pleasant, the crew excellent and sailing up the Nile does offer nice stops along the way (away from the plethora of massive cruise boats!), great scenery and plenty of siesta opportunities.
We were down on our luck with our guide as we could barely understand his English and he liked to repeat himself, rather than provide us with insightful knowledge – plus he often confused north and south. Nonetheless, this did not at all ruin our trip at all.

I found out about Memphis Tour by reading online reviews and contacted them via the website. Its representative Fady reached out to me within one day. We talked about my tour expectation and constrains and he helped me created a seamless UAE + Egypt tour plus air. He was tentative, knowledgeable and very effective.
We were very satisfied with the UAE part, this post is about Egypt. Here it comes.
I would recommend Memphis tour to every first time traveler to Egypt, a country very different from where we came from. They are experienced and they understand what you needed before you even knew. We were greeted by the company representative Mr Ayman even before we passed Cairo airport immigration. Every step after that were well planned and executed. All our question were answered on the spot with the tour guide (the knowledgeable Hend in Cairo, the kind "Prince" during Nile cruise, the tentative Mustafa in Aswan/Abu Simbel and many others) or via Whatsapp with Ayman during off hours. Memphis Tour and their guides represent the best and the most professional of Egyptian people.
Memphis tour offers great value for the money. We were able to visit most of the Pharaonic Egypt sites and they planned many nice surprises along the way: Khan Khalili during Ramadan, lunch with view of the pyramids, sunset at the Luxor Temple and many more.
For the money we paid and the limited time, it was a great experience overall. We would love to connect with the great people again soon.

Me and my daughter (11 years old) had a beautiful tour experience and had great fun too! We have been constantly accompanied since our arrival at the Airport till the end of the tour. The tour contact persons (Ahmed and Ayman) were always available to help us or satisfy our needs and the same for the guides that were very competent as well (Samir above all!). Everybody took great care of us and contributed, together with the incredible artistic beauties, to make our trip really unforgettable! Then we highly recommend this operator!

I just recently returned from my trip to Egypt.
It was absolutely an amazing discovery for me. I stayed in Egypt for total 23 days and had a 18 day tour and some extra tours at the end of my stay.
I have traveled a lot in the past, but this trip was an absolutely amazing personal discovery for me. I literally had the whole Egypt at my feet to explore. I was smitten by its antiquities and its ancient history, by its friendly people and the people watching, by the smells of its souks and the flavors of its food. It got stuck in my heart.
During this trip I had an opportunity to visit many places. I visited the Pyramids of Giza, Memphis, Saqqara, Alexandria, Luxor and its temples, Aswan, Abu Simbel, the Suez canal, Port Said, Rosetta and the Nile delta, Hurgada on the Red sea, the Fayoum oasis. I felt absolutely safe and very welcomed everywhere.
I would like to mention the efficiency and the flexibility of this tour company and its tour guide. Ibrahim was my main tour guide all over the country and he really showed me the best of it and the soul of his land.
I would highly recommend this tour company and its guide. It was the best trip of my life.
There is an Egyptian saying which says : “Once you drink from the Nile you are destined to return”. Inshallah.

By far the BEST vacation and professionalism I have ever experienced. Right from the planning to boarding the flight back home the Memphis Tours - Egypt staff made my family feel as if we were their family. There was not ONE MOMENT where we felt like this wasn't not the tour and staff for us. The hospitality from our tour manager Ahmed all the way to the staff at each hotel and cruise staff, they made us feel important and welcomed. I'd like to send special thank yous to Abdalla, Amr and Aly for everyhing they've done! Not the topping on the cake, the hospitality from Ahmed our tour manager, Hend our Cairo tour guide and our driver Muhammed - we love you guys!!!! Thank you sooooooo much for the going above and beyond and showing us love! Until next time! Please , please, please if you ever think about touring Cairo, Egypt make sure to call/utilize Memphis Tours!!

I have just finished the Cairo portion of an 3 week tour of Egypt and Jordan organized by Memphis Tours. They have been superb so far. From the start, in organizing the tour via email, they understood my requirements and offered many options - always in a friendly and responsive manner. The greeting at the airport and transfer to the hotel by private car was done smoothly, quickly, comfortably and with a smile. The two days on tour in Cairo were very full but never rushed. My private Egyptologist guide always made sure to explain well and answer all questions, but then also made sure I had plenty of time to explore on my own - a style of travel that I really enjoy. So different than the harried groups that I saw at many locations. The driver was always there when needed. The rooftop lunches provided excellent local fare and a welcome break in the schedule to avoid travel in the worst of the heat.
In short - if you are considering travel to Cairo then contact Memphis Tours - they will make sure that you have a wonderful experience.

I contacted Memphis tour to organize our visit to Egypt. Total we were eight, our family and very close friends, with three children. We were interested to see the Giza and Saqqara pyramids, the Valley of the Kings and different temples.
So we decided to take a Nile cruise to see the ancient Egypt and two days in Cairo to see the Museum and Giza/Saqqara pyramids. Memphis organized everything, with private transportation with A/C to everyplace for the eight of us. The cost for all was reasonable in my opinion. The MS Farah cruise was fantastic, everybody was very polite, despite the Ramadan, and food was good and abundant, with lots of vegetarian options too. The Memphis consultant Abdulla and our Giza/Cairo tour leader Mohamed Atia "Mo" and Luxor leader Mohamed Ragab were great, very helpful and accommodate. The Memphis guide in Cairo, Karim, was great, even brought us to a patisserie called Tinky to buy pastries to bring to USA, everybody love them. Abdul Rahim our Memphis tour guide in Luxor, Edfu and Aswan was excellent, great knowledge and he took care of us in every moment. We loved him as family. Hope we had more time to visit more beautiful places and learn more of the Ancient Egypt. But we will come back..Inshallah.
We were very happy with Memphis tours.
Thank you so much for a Fantastic trip!

I can't praise Memphis tours enough from my first contact with Habiba K. to our expert guide, Alaa, and all the personnel who met us at the airport. We took a five day cruise on the Nebyt dahabiya. It was total luxury and comfort. The boat is beautiful, the crew attentive and the food delicious. The tours were fascinating and informative. We especially enjoyed the stop at a small village on an island. Everything exceeded our expectations. A truly perfect vacation we were sorry to see end.

I visited Egypt end of 2021 beginning of 2022 for a cruise along the Nile. Excellent service from our hosts; the were welcoming and hospitable and explained all the history of the country well. The tour was well planned, orderly and structured so we maximised most out of our day. The booking process was seamless and they went our of their way to provide an excellent experience. Well worth it.

Ahmed,
Just writing you and thanking you for taking care of us at the last minute. It was pretty scary walking around Port Said with no home or anyone to greet us.Our other tour had forgotten to pick us up. We had already paid them in advance!! You really saved "our bacon". Your driver was an excellent driver although he scared my wife in his driving skills. I thought they only drove that way in Rome. Ha! Anyway we had a great time and our guide Ahmed Sameer was one of the most informative guides i have had in a long time. His wonderful personality and the hospitality he showed us was just awesome. He really brought out the life of the surrounding landmarks in and around Cairo. Thanks again for your help. I sure felt right at home with the Egyptian people. They were so friendly you would have thought they were from Texas
