I've been in 32 countries in the last few years and I can honestly say Egypt is unforgettable. An absolutely amazing trip. I owe a lot of that to Osiris tours. I recently spent a couple of weeks in Egypt thanks to booking with Osiris Tours. I did Cairo, Saqqara, Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel and more. The big question on everyone's mind is likely "how was it during this COVID age?" Egypt has very low COVID rates and you would assume it is because its an 80% Muslim country and the women wear hijabs, however, the entire country practices strict standards when it comes to hygiene and safety. Masks are required everywhere and people are actively wearing them. They have mandatory temperature scans at just about every site, hotel, restaurant, etc. They also mandate hand sanitizer. The country requires a negative COVID test (RT-PCR) prior to entering the country as well. All in all you will feel more safe than most places Now, onto my trip. From planning to travelling Osiris was in constant communication. They made getting through customs fast and easy. I had great drivers in every city. The guides were amazing and made me feel like royalty. Anything I wanted they made happen. They were very knowledgeable and friendly and you can tell they have been doing it for a long time as everyone knew who they were at every pyramid, temple, tomb, market, and even out on the street. The Egyptian people were friendly and so thankful to have tourism back. I loved the people, the food, and the culture there. The hotels Osiris Tours set up for me were great. Do not miss the Hilton is Aswan! It is amazing. Osiris had contacts for me at every city and site and made me feel safe, secure, and more importantly made sure I had a memorable trip. I picked a good time to travel as I have everything to myself. There were literally no other people anywhere so my photos were absolutely amazing. The guides made sure I had every photo I wanted and never seemed agitated with any request. They were always smiling and always making sure I understood the importance or meaning of everything going on around me. Planning a trip to Egypt can get worrisome as Arabic isn't a language I, or any of my friends, studied here in the states but Mahmoud made every arrangement for me and had my entire trip planned out and itinerary detailed thoughtfully and carefully. If you are doing to Egypt you certainly have options. You can try to plan it yourself, your can look at other tour companies, but from my experience Osiris Tours is the way to go. I highly recommend them as they truly know all of Egypt like the back of their hand.…

I cannot say enough about how amazing Osiris Tours was during our multi-generational trip to Egypt over Christmas. Mahmoud took great care to put our group of eight in to beautiful hotels and provide us with the best drivers. The hot air balloon ride at sunrise is something my 77 year old mom still raves about and the camel rides were incredible. The little VIP touches made our trip outstanding -- and at all times we felt completely safe. The Egyptian people are truly lovely. Thank you for making a dream come true!…

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time in Egypt with Osiris and their tour guides back in November 2019. Mahmoud took great care to make sure he understood where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see and provided a custom itinerary. We didn't want to do a cruise so he planned out a complete land and air based trip. The hotels were fantastic and our tour guides were informative and nice. Sayid, who was with us outside of Cairo, was especially fantastic at giving us historical information and context and "Berri" was verying engaging and helpful. If given the chance visit Luxor temple at night! I would highly recommend them and we consider Egypt a place to visit again in the future.…

My wife and I spent a week in Egypt this past Feb .. it was wonderful. Because of work we traveled separately .. on my arrival I was met by an Osiris guide who quickly maneuvered me thru immigration , gathered my luggage and took me to our hotel. The Hotel chosen was wonderful. The next morning we were met by our guide and taken to the pyramids, sphinx and some other sites ..... Our guide was very knowledgeable .. not in a dry way but interesting. We had a private mini van with guide and driver and it made the process so comfortable. The next day we were met very early as we had a flight to Luxor. Our guide had arranged for box breakfasts for us to take to airport. Arriving at Luxor again we were met at the gate. My wife had a friend from work traveling and she had asked about tagging along .. we contacted Osiris and without missing a beat they adjusted our days outing, My wifes friend was just in Luxor for the day .. they arranged some separate sightseeing for her .. we later met back at our Luxor hotel (also fantastic) for dinner .. and after they took her to the train station for her return to Cairo. The guide in Luxor was great, suggesting things, always interested in what we wanted to do and steering us toward the best options. When we returned to Cairo again we met our guide he (we had lots of time as we had a flight out at 0100 ) took his time .. we saw the museum, hanging church, a large mosque .. wandered thru the market. AT the end of the day the took us to a hotel next to the airport. I was very skeptical about this but it turned out to be a great way to spend the time waiting for our flight. They checked our luggage and we had a wonderful dinner and then sat comfortably in a lounge until , once again a guide shows up to make sure we got checked in and on our way. Traveling to foreign locations can be a bit nerve racking , not knowing the language or how to get about. Osiris made this a wonderful, relaxing process. We hope to return to Egypt to see some areas that we did not have time for .. we will certainly plan on using Osiris Tours again I cannot not say how pleased we were.…
