Excellent trip - We had a wonderful day tour with Rasha our tour guide and our driver Farouk . Rasha picked us up from our hotel at 8 Am with a big smile.Farouk our driver gave us drinks and biscuits as a complimentary which was really very kind of him . On our way to Sakara pyramids Rasha gave us all the details about the pyramids .She was really very friendly and gave us all detailed information about all different pyramids. We started our day by visiting Sakara pyramids which were really worth the visit .After Sakara we visited the big statue of Ramses the second in Memphis.We stopped after that with lunch in a very nice restaurant and the food was really very nice . We ended our day by visiting Giza pyramids and Sphinx and took the best pictures on the top of the camel which was a great experience

Best tour for the pyramids - Abdo is a great tour guide .this was the best guided tour I have ever been on .He picked us up on time with a big smile and a comfortable van . During our trip he explained to us a lot about the history of Egypt and the pyramids and he was very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and took lots of fun pictures for us . I would definitely recommend my friends to contact Habibitours and ask Abdo to be their tour guide. The driver Hossam was really very friendly and a very good driver .Nothing could have been more perfect than that .

Camping under the stars - My trip to the desert was amazing. We contacted Amir from Habibitours and he was very responsive and professional. They picked up up from the hotel with private Ac car from our hotel and transfered us to Ahmed Safari camp .once we are there we had lunch before we took the jeep to the desert . In the way we stopped in the black desert where we climbed up this mountain and the view was amazing . After that we visited the crystal mountain and the hot and cold springs and went to the white desert . Badr our Bedouin guide cooked very delicious fresh meal for us at night .we camped at the middle of the white desert .we woke up for sunrise next day followed by amazing breakfast .they made us feel like family .great experience
