Pyramids and much more - It was our first visit to Cairo and it started with a flight delay. We landed in Cairo an hour late, in Ramadan of all times. During Ramadan, visiting hours are somewhat limited. That was the starting point. At the airport we were received directly and taken by bus to the Egyptian Museum. Our guide Gabriel was already waiting for us there. We were in very good hands with him. He accompanied us expertly through the museum. Then we continued to the pyramids. We decided to take a carriage ride to really see the pyramids. Next item on the agenda was the Sphinx. We arrived there shortly before the end of the opening hours and they wanted to send us away again. Thanks to Gabriel we were allowed through a side entrance to the premises. The subsequent lunch was very good, There was a wide selection of typical dishes. Even as vegetarians we got our money's worth. According to the official program, we were supposed to go back to the airport. However, our return flight was very late, so we would have had to wait more than 3 hours. Gabriel made the suggestion to spend the remaining time on the Nile. So we ended the day with a boat trip on the Nile. At sunset. Mega. Conclusion: We felt really well accompanied and had an unforgettable day thanks to the good organization.

A dream come true - On 16.11.20I24 we made an excellent organized day trip with egypt air and egyptbooking from Hurghada to Cairo. Although our Aholer was waiting for us at the wrong terminal at the airport in Cairo, everything still worked out. Thanks to our guide Khaled, our trip has become a true dream. We fulfilled a long-held wish by visiting the Egyptian Museum and the pyramids. Khaled's explanations were the best we've ever heard from a tour guide. Thank you, Khaled, for your wonderful and vivid explanations of Egyptian history and mythology.

Cairo excursion with Egyptologists - The trip was perfectly organized, everything just worked. We are tourism professionals ourselves and appreciate this great service. Khaled Omar, our tour guide, a trained Egyptologist and Germanist, had impressive knowledge that he imparted to us in a very simple way at every corner in Cairo and Giza. With his witty and friendly manner, he led us from ancient times to modern Egypt. We can only warmly recommend him.

Day trip from Hurghada to Cairo by plane - We booked from Germany. Everything worked well and quickly. Any concerns that one might have had (paying money in advance, contact via WhatsApp...) were unfounded. The trip took place and the organization went very well and smoothly. It was wonderful and a great experience in Cairo. Everything was fulfilled as stated in the advance information. Our German-speaking tour guide Sharif was sensational. Knowledgeable, humorous, caring... absolutely great. We felt very well looked after by "Egypt-Booking".

Very well organized excursion - absolutely inexpensive! - We were picked up early at 4 a.m. from our hotel in Hurghada and driven straight to the airport by the very nice drivers. With the flight details and instructions we were given in the car, it was easy to pick up the flight tickets at the counter and then we went straight to Cairo on a small plane. The flight was very pleasant, small snacks were even distributed and everything went smoothly. When we arrived in Cairo, we were picked up by the driver who would take us from place to place for the rest of the day. It also turned out that we actually got an unbooked private tour that day. In front of the museum we met our tour guide Sharif, who gave us the tour in German and explained everything very well and understandably. His experience makes him a fantastic tour guide and we learned a lot in the museum, saw the pyramids and Sphinx of Giza and experienced a camel ride for €15/half hour. A boat tour on the Nile is also planned for €10 per person and lunch is a delicious buffet where you only have to pay for the drinks. We ended the day with a visit to the papyrus “museum” and to a Bedouin family who produce oils and perfumes. There you have the opportunity to buy the products in question. Overall, the day was really nice, the trip was absolutely worth it for the price and communication and booking went smoothly via WhatsApp. A little tip from us: Bring a lot of cash, especially small ones, as unfortunately we didn't have enough with us and towards the end we didn't have any cash left to give a tip to thank us for the great tour. In general, it is also an advantage to take a small amount of pocket money with you for smaller expenses, but the "real" shops also accept credit card payments.

Excursion hurghada cairo flight - Booked and further clarification via WhatsApp. Everything was very straightforward. The tour went perfectly. We have nothing to complain about... our guide (Sharif) was able to tell us everything. The tour and travel provider are highly recommended.

Good experience only price difficult - The guide Rachlet has superbly led the trip and told something about everything. He was really very friendly and answered all the questions. The restaurant was okay. The trip was as described plus a few extra things you could do voluntarily. (No need! But worth it!!!) Unfortunately, we learned that we paid 100 euros more per person via TripAdvisor than everyone else in the group. Tip: Book through the tour operators directly, so you save a lot of money.
