The Best Tour Operator - I spent 4 days in Egypt and booked all
Tours with Habibitours. com.
I contacted several times, the owner by email to make arrangements and he was always very kind and helpful.
The guide Rasha speaks perfect English, understandable even to those who are unfamiliar with the language.
She is very knowledgeable and explains the history of her country with great passion.
The driver who accompanied us for these 4 days was very professional and helpful.
I really appreciated their punctuality in the morning.
Regarding this particular tour, everything went as planned, great lunch, the camel ride allows you to see the pyramids from another angle and take home wonderful photos.
One tip often hotels offer tours at bargain prices....but they will be more store and bazaar tours...so rely on serious tour operators like Habibitours .com
I recommend this tour operator to everyone!!!

Great tour! We won't forget it :) - It's been our second trip done with Habibi Tours and again they showed a full professionalism. We were picked up on time and warmly welcomed by Mahmoud and Rasha. Many thanks to both for making our day!
Visiting Sakkara and Giza Pyramids is an unforgettable experience and recommended to everyone. We will remember it even better as the day was perfectly organized and comfortable, even for small children. Rasha guided us through ancient history in interesting and enjoyable manner. Camel ride was just total fun!
We will definitely be back for another tour!
