This was our first trip with falcon. As first timers in Egypt I wanted to ensure I was using a well know tour group. Falcon excursion came well recommended on my hotels Facebook page. I arranged this trip prior to the holiday via Facebook messenger and the team were quick to respond and extremely helpful.
The trip itself includes so many amazing opportunities, and gave my family a great experience outside of the hotel.
Collection from hotel then driven to the safari park where we met our guide Jimmy. Who remained with all day. He made us feel safe and advised on what was included in the price and that paying/ tipping the locals was not necessary even if they ask. Jimmy was on hand if you ever felt unsure and he made this clear at point of the trip.
We had a family buggy,
We travelled in convoy to echo corner then on to the first camp for local tea and a camel ride. The camel guides will push for tips for taking photos of you on your phone, but please only tip if you want, this is not necessary. The camel ride is short (just up and down a track) but that is enough.
We then got back on the buggy and on to the main camp for dinner and a show. The food was lovely. We had chicken, kofta, rice and salad. ( this was one of my husband favourite meals all holiday) water and a very small coke also included in price. You can pay drinks at each stop but we just took our own.
The show is ok, not the best but it’s all part of the experience. The. Back to base in the dark where you are bused back to your hotel. A lot of experiences ticked off in 5 hour tour.
This is an evening tour so does take up an entire day of your holiday. My pool mad kids were grateful for this.
Thank you Jimmy for a great evening.
