If you are looking for a travel agency in Egypt, look no further! We had a wonderful time with Egypt Gift Tours and would recommend anyone to use their service.
Our inbound flight got cancelled due to Dubai flooding, but Heba was super helpful to rearrange everything last minute, she is always available to answer all kinds of questions, great English communication, patient and professional throughout. We felt very comfortable and decided to book all our excursions with them, and it did not disappoint.
Before we went on the Nile cruise, we took an overnight trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel, our ride with Hany was safe, smooth, and fun. He was passionate about his hometown Aswan, treated us with the best sugar cane juice, and got us to shop groceries at ‘Egyptian price’.
We then spent two nights on Semiramis II where Heba got us upgraded to a suite, spacious room and quiet despite being next to the reception. The ship was in good condition, clean pool, quality food with variety each day. It was magical cruising the Nile, curving river bank with papyrus, sunset over the feluccas, felt like we travelled back in time.
Our guide Tarek was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic, with over 20 years of experience he made the fascinating history simple and clear to us. He ensures we see everything at each sight while still allowing plenty of free time to take photos. Luckily we happen to be the only guests with EGT on this cruise, so all the excursions were private, as we only had limited time on the last day, Tarek sat down with us to listen and tailor to our needs. We are really grateful to be able to see VOTK, Hatshepsut, Karnak, and Luxor temples in under 7 hours without sacrificing the quality!
Traveling with EGT really made our trip a memorable one, hopefully we get to visit again, perhaps in winter next time :)
