4 Days Cairo and Luxor Tours

Egipto es un lugar mágico. Lleno de historia!! Museos, excursiones, paseos… todo fue excelente y buen organizado. Pero indudablemente tener un buen guía es clave para éxito. Y nosotros lo tuvimos. Alim no solo fue un guia, sino un gran profesor y compañero. Compartió todas las historias, anécdotas, teorias… para enseñarnos más. No solo de la historia egipcia también del la cultura islámica, ya que estuvimos en pleno Ramadam. Fue un placer haber hecho este viaje y haber tenido a Alim en las pirámides, museos y mezquitas!! Fue un sueño cumplido.

If you're in Cairo ask for Esaam and Mena and in Luxor ask for Kero and Osama by name - you will have a positive unforgettable experience. You get a driver, and a guide and photographer in one... If you would like more info on my experience, please read on... Sometime in February 2023 my friend and I were brainstorming what we could do during our March holidays. We needed another adventure. It did not take long for us to settle on visiting Egypt but we had never been, we didn't know the first thing about being in Egypt and so the search began for possible tours. I hopped on to our beloved "Google" and immediately came across Egypt Tours Portal and found that all our travel worries would be catered for. After some enquiries we got two quotes, picked one that was more budget friendly (I regret this... You will see why later), booked our international flights, made our deposit and was very surprised when a personalised dashboard was created for us. Our domestic flight ticket (Cairo to Luxor return) was also attached to the dashboard. Herein lay the first signs of professionalism. We arrived at Cairo International Airport on the evening of 25 March 2023. The gentleman who received us made us feel comfortable from the start. Once we went through passport control (as a South African I was very happy to get into the country without needing a visa :D ), luggage collected and were handed over to our driver who would take us to the hotel. Arriving during Ramadan and at the time of Iftar, it was still a smooth arrival process. It was a bit of a long drive to our hotel (Movenpick - Media City) but it did give us a chance to take in the night sights and sounds of Cairo and our first introduction to the craziness that exists on Cairo's roads. The hotel was mostly good (a few recommendations to be made to the hotel itself). An early morning tour awaited us the next day (it was also my birthday). We met with Esaam and our driver for the day, Mena. The care that was shown to us two bright eyed girls was heartwarming. Our tour to the Great Pyramids, Sphinx and Museum was excellently coordinated by Esaam, who even sang happy birthday in English and Arabic as we drove around the pyramid sight. A very special birthday memory. Esaam's professionalism, concern for our safety and friendliness will always remembered. That night we flew to Luxor. It was a late flight out of Cairo. Honestly I was a bit anxious about Luxor since I had not heard much about it before. We were met by Kero and Osama. Kero welcomed us to his city and promised we will have the best time. We had a fun ride to our hotel that night. So many laughs. The next day with Kero and Osama was nothing short of magical. Kero allowed a little of a late start since we had a late flight out that night. Kero's knowledge of ancient Egypt was mesmerising. The translation of the stories from the drawings of the wall, the passion with which he spoke all kept me intrigued. Safety is a big thing for me and if a person wants to feel safe while being driven around you need Osama behind the wheel. Once again I felt extremely well taken care of. Car doors opened and closed, refreshments given, lunch paid for (both Cairo and Luxor) and the feeling of safety and comfort was absolutely unmatched. Leaving Luxor was emotionally difficult, the city itself is enough to steal a piece of your heart that combined with the excellence of Osama and Kero, Luxor is definitely my go back to. Habibi visit Egypt with Egypt Tours Porta, Yallal!!! My regret - not being able to spend more time in Luxor, and not being able to visit more places in Egypt as a whole with the ETP team, however it now means I am planning my next visit to Egypt and will be contacting ETP very soon.

The Cairo trip was exceptionally well coordinated and we felt completely secure in the hands of the travel company. Hany Mubarak (Cairo ) was very friendly ,knowledgeable and exceptionally organised ensuring that our progress was smooth and hugely enjoyable. I learned a lot about Egyptian culture Birt ancient and modern and was able to discuss the intricacies of hieroglyphs and archaeology with Hany. We talked together in Ancient Egyptian. A bit geeky for most I guess but it reinforced the high opinion I have for Hany by it put him in the highest echelon of tour guides.in my opinion. He looked after me and my boys with care like his own family. All meals were excellent and the drivers superb in the Cairo traffic. I would highly recommend Hany and Egypt tours without reservation
