Two week Egypt adventure - I travelled with my family (5 adults) to Egypt using High End Journeys for two weeks in Nov/Dec 2024. From the very first encounter at the Cairo airport, to every logistic along the way, the experience with High End Journey was top notch. Our itinerary included Cairo, Luxor, river boat on the Nile, Aswan, day trip to Abu Simbel and back to Cairo. Sherine Sedik was our Egyptologist in Cairo and she was fantastic. Smart, professional, and fun. She impressed us with her deep knowledge and made our visits to three museums and the pyramids unforgettable (and we learned a lot!). Mohamed Hassan was our Egyptologist the remainder of the trip and he was instrumental in making our experience first class. He taught us so much of the history of each area, adapted to our preferences on local experiences and was always professional and thinking ahead. He was open to answering all our questions about Egypt, no matter the topic. The remainder of the High End Journeys staff were fanatic as well. Every driver, point person, and I’m sure all the behind the scenes people, made this trip a unique experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Egypt!

Best trip of our lives! - Our trip with High End Journeys was the best trip of our lives! George was an amazing guide. Every detail was thought through. My husband is very knowledgeable about Egypt so we wanted a guide who could teach him more. George went so far beyond our expectations. We got to experience many of the sights with no tourists around. This really helped us grasp the majesty of what we saw. I usually plan my own trips, so I was wary of handing the job over to someone else, but I am so glad I did. The company is owned by Egyptians and they know the country, culture and history inside and out. I highly, highly recommend traveling with High End Journeys.

Taken care of from start to finish - highly recommend! - What an amazing experience and company, we would highly recommend High End Journeys to any of our friends and family traveling to Egypt. We were greeted right after we landed at the Cairo airport by Ishmael. He guided us through passport control, grabbed all our luggage, and streamlined us through customs to our awaiting vehicle with driver Ahmed. I've never landed from an international flight and been in a vehicle and on my way in such little time - AMAZING! Ahmed seamlessly weaved his way through the crazy Cairo traffic. The vehicle was spacious and we always had cold water and snacks available. Plus he always had the best smile waiting for us as we arrived back to the vehicle :) Our Egyptologist was Raina, and she was absolutely amazing! She LOVES history and explained things so well. There really wasn't a question she didn't know. Our 3 days consisted of Saqqara, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, the market, and then we had bonus stops such as seeing how they make silk rugs, and the Papyrus, etc. All our lunch spots were absolutely fantastic. I was so full each day I barely ate dinner ;) Our flight home was at 4am, and Ishmael even met us at the airport at 2am to make sure we got all checked in and through security with ease. Hands down they were worth every penny!

The best of Egypt - This trip was amazing . Our guide , Ramez was so full of history and great stories about the gods of ancient Egypt. We loved everything that he had so effortlessly planned for us from night tours in the museum and the valley of the kings to camel rides to the pyramids and lunch overlooking the pyramids. A beautiful 3 day cruise on the Nile with delicious gourmet meals and a trip to mt Sinai. We lived every minute !

An amazing Egyptian experience from start to finish - We spent 8 amazing days in Egypt on a trip arranged by Alaa Yousry at High End Journeys. From the minute we arrived in Cairo until we left Luxor 8 days later we were looked after like Kings & Queens. Mohamed Hassan (our Egyptologist who accompanied us for the entire time in Egypt) was exceptional. His in-depth knowledge of Egyptian history & archeology combined with his sense of humour & easy going nature made the trip a delight. There were so many highlights - The Giza Pyramids, Valley of the Kings, Aswan, Abu Simbel, The Karnak Temple & Nile Cruise on the Historia. I would highly recommend High End Journeys and Mohamed Hassan for anyone planning a trip to Egypt.

Fabulous week in Egypt - We had a week in Egypt organised by High End Tours which included an Egyptologist who accompanied us for the week. Mohamed Hussan was a fantastic guide who was very knowledgeable and passionate about his country’s history.

Wonderful, enjoyable, and SAFE time in Cairo! - We just finished three tour days with High End Journeys. We spent one day visiting Dahshour Pyramids and Saqqara. We spent the next tour day visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum, Giza Pyramids, and Sphinx. The last day we toured Coptic Cairo, the Cave church, the old Islamic quarters, Sultan Hassan and Refaie Mosques, and rode a felucca on the Nile. Each day also included lunch from a restaurant with delicious local Egyptian food. We never felt unsafe during our trip. The group made sure we were always well informed and prepared. The mornings started with our tour coordinator, Mohamed Magdy, picking us up with the driver from our apartment. He would explain our day to us, always with a smile, and connect us with our tour guide, who met us closer to our first destination. Our tour guide was so nice! Her name is Sussanna. After the first day, our kids asked if we were having the same guide the other days because they enjoyed her so much. She is friendly, engaging, helpful, a great photographer, and knows her information. She made sure also the information was understandable for our kids (ages 10, 11, and 12 years old). We started the tours with Sussanna just as a guide but ended our times as friends.
