コンパクトに沢山を堪能できるツアー!(体力必須) - アブシンベル神殿、王家の谷、アスワンハイダム等々、多数の見どころを4日間に一挙網羅できるツアーです。コンパクトなだけにスケジュールがタイトに組まれているので、Trip Advisorに書かれている予定よりも起床時間が早いこともしばしばでした。覚悟が必要です! また、私たちは3人グループで申し込みましたが、自動的に3人部屋(ツイン+エクストラベッド)が割り当てられていたため、直前にシングルを追加して300ドルかかりました。お部屋はかなりコンパクトだったので部屋数には要注意です。 ツアー開始前にガイドさんから「全ての遺跡のチケットを自分がまとめて購入し、ドライバーやポーターへのチップも自分がまとめて払うので、チケット代+チップ代を現金で払ってもらえないか」という提案がありました。最初は抵抗を感じましたが、実際にツアーに参加してみると、このシステムが合理的であると思うに至りました。 炎天下で各ツアー参加者が個別にチケット売り場に並ぶのは困難だったし、ドライバーやポーターからの個別のチップ要求を受けないで済むのはとても助かったからです。(エジプトの他の場所ではあらゆる場面でチップをねだられ、少額紙幣の工面に頭を悩ませました…)なお、チップ代は4日間総額で16ドルくらいと言われました。 一点不満があるとしたら、旅行会社への問合せになかなかレスポンスがなかったこと、ツアー客に対してガイドの数が少ないことです。初日のピックアップで1時間待たされましたが、ガイドさんは他のお客さんへの説明対応で手いっぱいのようでメールをしても反応がなく、旅行会社も同じく反応なしでした。。 いずれにせよ、ガイドのTalaat Abdoさんは知識が豊富でフレンドリーで説明上手でした。炎天下でも熱心に説明し、ツアー参加者全員に気を配ってくれました。感謝です! I had a fantastic experience with our guide, Talaat Abdo! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and an excellent communicator. Even in the scorching heat, he passionately shared information and made sure to engage with all participants. I truly appreciate his efforts!

2 nights at the dock - Talaat is a truly passionate and committed Guide. You feel he loves his country, his culture and teaching it to travelers. He taught us a lot and showed us a lot of monuments. It would have been preferable to have had more transparency about the Things to do and the very busy programme. Plan a lot of visits, so wake up very early. Allow about 80€ more for all visits, and 16€ tip for staff, requested by the Guide, in a rather mandatory way. If you like to let yourself be carried and not plan anything I recommend this trip, however it is to avoid for people who prefer to make their own itinerary. Everything was too long. First day, we are given an appointment at 9:30, our driver arrived at 10:15... And we had to wait another 20 minutes for everyone to arrive, to go in a boat a few meters further where we could have gone by ourselves... After an hour of explanation regarding additional fees to pay, we discovered our room at 11:15, we lost a morning. Last day, waking up at 5am for the hot air balloon, we waited half an hour in another boat to get permission to take off... We lost half an hour of sleep and missed the sunrise. The boat hapy 5 is very good, nice pool, service is present, the staff is friendly. But everything is paid on the boat, wifi, drinks including water, no kettle available in the room unlike all other accommodation where I slept... For the Award of the night, it's really limit. Street vendors come by boat in front of the bedroom windows. They are really insistent, it was unpleasant not to be able to be quiet even in his room. Note also that there is only one night moving on the Nile, the other two we were docked. After all, the boats do not pass through the Aswan Dam, and we drive to Abu Simbel. In that case, I would have preferred to pay a Cheaper Pension. Anyway, mixed results for me.

Air ballon was terrible. - Air ballon was terrible experience ever. I really expected to see sunrise on the air ballon, but Its very very very delayed. If you want to see just bad things like the photo, book this trip.
