Amazing trip in Egypt - Amr was extremely kind and helpful in planning a 2 week itinerary for me which worked out perfectly!
I was mostly looking for booking of train and bus rides, which he did at a very affordable price. He also arranged drivers for visiting the different temples in different museums.
All the workers were professional and I had a great time in Egypt! Thank you Amr for everything!

Great Experience - We took night nile river cruise at reasonable price, it includes transportation from/to hotel, meals, entertainments such as singing & dance shows. Good value for money. Overall was good and entertaining.

Excellent service!!!! - My experience with this travel agency was excellent!!! Ahmed and his team were extremely helpful and offered us a very complete tour for a reasonable price (even lower than other agencies in the area). The services we received were up to par and we had a great experience getting to know Egypt. I highlight that this agency provided us with the services of guides who spoke in Spanish, which made it more comfortable and easy to get to know and learn about the monuments we visited.
I highly recommend this agency. I will definitely recommend it to my friends in Peru too!

Couldn’t be better - My partner and I traveled to Egypt on Sept 2023. Contact Amir when we were in Spain and he was always super disposal and resdy to helo and answer all our questions. Once all was arrenged, and arrived in Cairo the experience was amazing since the first day. We travel feim Cairo to Aswan and Luxor and all places we visited a guide was waiting for us with a driver to get us to different points of interest agreed. Not even a single problem in the whole trip, I would recomend contracting Amir’s agency 100%! Thank hou for everything it’s been a pleasure! 😊

Highlt recommended - I’ve had luck and pleasure dealing with these two gentlemen who runs the office in downtown Cairo, i had 14 days stay and decided to give roughly 10 days for Cairo and Luxor as well as Aswan, however, I had no clue where or how to get anywhere, Ahmed and Amr kindly took me in and made a outstanding itinerary for me, morth the value and proper trip set ups.
My last day was about coming back Cairo and spend my night in the airport so I could catch the morning flight, but once Amr knew about my plan and he simplely rang Ahmed and gave me a free stay in his hotel, of which located at the prime spot in front of Pyramids, and also invited me for the Ramadan styled dinner. What a lovely suprise from these two brothers,
If you need professionals to arrange you Egyot trips, then these two fellas are your go-to guy

Amazing experience, they took great care of us! - We had an absolutely fantastic experience with this company. We were nervous about booking with them due to the low number of reviews, and also because their website looks super scammy, but they gave us a good price and worked with us to customize our trip, and the reviews were all very positive, so we decided to give them a chance. We also liked that it was one of the few 10-day tours we found that included camping in the White Desert, which by the way is an absolute MUST as it was truly a highlight of the trip!
They handled everything beautifully and kept in close contact with us via WhatsApp (ask for this if they don't set it up). We discussed with Ahmed and Amr over email what we wanted to change, and they were able to set everything up. All of the guides were amazing and so friendly. Abdo was always smiling and helpful. From the moment we got off the plane we were met by someone who had the visas ready (bring $25 USD cash for that), and I especially want to thank them for helping us get our missing bag back just in time before we left Cairo, after Egypt Air lost it. I have no idea how they did it but it was amazing service. Everything went very smoothly and we had such an amazing time that we ended up extending our tour by adding a day trip to Alexandria, which they were able to arrange at the last minute with another amazing guide.
I highly recommend them, but here are some tips for a successful trip:
- Get a SIM card in Egypt, you will absolutely want it, and only do this at the airport or an official store as the small shops will scam you (as we found out). We went with Vodafone which was fine, but we later heard Orange is better.
- Carry your own toilet paper in your day bag. Just trust me.
- Bring electrolytes, activated charcoal, and Imodium. Also just trust me... and avoid eating street food. ;-)
- If you're vegetarian, bring like 10 protein bars. The veg options on the cruise weren't amazing (the guides brought us to restaurants with good options though).
- The night train is not comfortable. Fly or upgrade to a cabin with beds if you can.
- The guides will take you to random shops where they'll give you a demonstration and then try to sell you something. They're quality shops but the prices are jacked, so don't be afraid to walk away or hardball negotiate, no matter how much they pressure you. Google souvenir shops and read the reviews to find better deals (particularly in Luxor).
- A suggestion for Ahmed and Amr: The communication was good on WhatsApp but it would be helpful to provide some kind of welcome packet with detailed information about how everything will work, who our guides were, where they would meet us, the names of the shops, etc. It all eventually worked out but there were a couple of times when we were confused about where to meet our guide, and we didn't know it would take an entire day to sail from Edfu to Luxor. I'd also suggest telling future guests that they will need to bring very warm clothes for the desert camp. ;-)
- Also, and this is our only negative feedback, we were absolutely horrified at the cruel treatment of the horses at Edfu. This isn't the tour company's fault -- we researched it and learned that apparently there's some kind of local horse cart mafia that controls the only way for tourists to get to the temple, but the horses are skinny, exhausted, and clearly not cared for very well. We were terrified that our horse was going to collapse, and the driver just kept whipping it without mercy. The temple is beautiful but I would honestly tell people to avoid Edfu entirely because it was so awful to see. Something really needs to be done about this.
