Unforgettable Egyptian trip! Our trip to Egypt was incredible, thanks to an amazing team. In Cairo, Hesham was a spectacular guide, bringing history to life. Afterward, we flew to Aswan for a phenomenal Nile cruise—the staff was outstanding, and the food was delicious.Siwa Oasis was another highlight. Yusef guided us through sandboarding adventures, a stunning desert sunset, and even took us to the market on our last day after we missed it due to religious celebrations. We truly made a friend in him.Huge thanks to Hesham, Yusef, Kiro, Mahmoud, and the whole team for making this a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

My Amazing stay in Egypt I arranged with this travel agency tours in Cairo and Luxor. They were extremely friendly and helpful. All transportation was on time and great tour guys. Drivers were so attentive and were always on time. I also booked my nights in Cairo in their Australian Hostel and staff was so friendly and welcoming. Rooms were cleaned and the hostel was in a great central location in Cairo downtown.

Incredible experience The tour was really good. Our tour guide, Heshan, was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole tour, very professional and very keen on teaching us whatever we wanted to learn about. We did a Pyrammids and Sakkara necropolis day tour and we asked for a few extra sites to visit which normally are outside of the program (pyramids of Dahshur) and the agency had no problem in adapting the program so that we could explore what we wanted. Amazing experience and recommend it to everyone.

Special shout out to Emily who was very patient and helpful helping me design our trip, Michael the best tour guide there can be (really funny too), and Kero who was a life saver.
