5.00Amazing experience in South Egypt with our guide Ahmed. Fluent Spanish, knowledge of the subject and above all honesty and help in all situations of the trip. Do not hesitate to leave your experience in your hands
Maravilloso tour

5.00Everything perfect, from the preparation before with Aya, adapting all the changes, as well as the dedication to be aware of the whole trip of any need. Even the guides and Representative Mohammed and Mahmoud in Cairo, Giza and desert and of course the friend Ahmed in Luxor and cruise, always taking care of you and teaching you everything with an absolute dedication. 100% recommended and above all safe, despite the current situation. The only thing I also recommend, as something not to do, is to buy in the stores that take you, since the products are 50% more expensive. Papyrus shops, perfumes and spices.

5.00We were pleased with the preparation of the trip made together with Rana (Cairo, Pyramids, Nile cruise, temples, Valley of the Kings, sea at Marsa Alam). Excellent support with local guides and transfers, pleasant little surprises reserved and a special mention to the two guides who were able to involve our children. Thank you for making us live this itinerant journey in a country of cultural and natural riches to the fullest
The most important thing is always people

5.00I want to take advantage of this space to thank Reham, who accompanied us at home step and management. To our magnificent guides, Mahmoud in Cairo and Mihael in Assuan and Luxor. And especially Mohamed the Italian, with whom we spent some unforgettable days in the desert. His sympathy, patience and constant effort has made everything better, lucky to have had him with us ❤️
Very good cruise and excursions. Maybe the guides, we take them in our hearts.

5.00I think this was the best trip we have ever taken. And we have taken many good ones. We started planning months ago. There were 3 couples in our group. From the beginning, we had lots of questions. Nada Abdelazem was always there to answer all of them. You could not ask for a better agent to work with. She made the entire trip planning a pleasant experience. Actually we did not sail in the Oberoi Zahra. Instead, due to our time scheduling, we sailed on the Oberoi Philae. That is the sister ship of the Oberoi Zahra, and I would say, every bit as good. All of the food aboard ship was outstanding with no exceptions. We have taken many cruises and this was the best. We had many questions about the sites we would see and how we would get there. She set up the logistics of the trip, like setting up airline connections and pick up for transfers and tours ashore, to work like a well oiled clock. The schedule was busy, but well planned so we did not feel rushed. The schedule was flexible so that we could see some sights that were not on the schedule that we were interested in. One highlight in particular was Queen Nefertari’s tomb in the Valley of the Queens. Absolutely spectacular. All of our guides were outstanding. Mustafa was aboard the ship. Very knowledgeable and pleasant. He guided us on tours of many tombs and temples and knew all about them. We learned a lot about the ancient Egyptian culture. Achmed was our guide for the Giza pyramids. He was a walking encyclopedia. Again, we learned very much about not only the ancient Egyptians but also the history of Cairo. In summary, if we ever take another trip to Egypt we will try to contact Nada and go with Sun Pyramids Tours.
