Private Tour Egypt Cairo and Luxury Nile Cruise

Our family decided to revisit Egypt after a gap of many years. Trip Advisor reviews are are go-to for first hand experiences. Ahmed Nagy of Amazing Global Travel had several good recommendations and now, after my trip, I endorse them. We were 3 generations travelling so my daughter took on the planning. For 6 months, through email, she and Ahmed went back and forth curating an itinerary that would give us leisurely travel back into the rich history of the country. There were suggestions from both sides till the schedule seemed to encompass the sites that we wanted to visit. The entire trip, from being met at the airport to clear immigration to our departure went without a hitch. Though we didn’t get to meet Ahmed, his guides were exceptional. Both had done their Masters in Egyptology and were so experienced. Manar was there for us in Cairo. Her explanations were very interesting and knowledgeable. She would caution us how to deal with hawkers and made sure our meal reservations were confirmed. She was punctual and patient. Adel was with us from Luxor and on the Nile on the dahabiya. He was very flexible if we wanted a slight change in timings or itinerary. He would tell us about the temples and excavations in story form. The tips he gave us for a seamless experience into the temples were so useful that many times we were able to dodge the crowds. His easy demeanour was pleasant and by the end of our trip he had integrated well with the family. The 4 cabin dahabiya, small sail boat, gave the family the quiet quality time that we wanted. The chef was top class. Each meal was delicious and well presented. The service was excellent. I would recommend Amazing Travel without hesitation. Email Ahmed Nagy and he will reply promptly and help organise a trip to Egypt that is unforgettable!

I wanted a holiday that would show us the deep history of Egypt and also create memories for our family. We were four - 3 generations - traveling. Ahmed Nagy curated a trip of a lifetime. We planned the trip over 6 months with him via email and he personalized it well - down to dinner reservations and restaurants we wanted to go to and a small private boat up the Nile with side excursions - some that are well known but others that we particularly wanted to visit like Agatha Christie's stay while she wrote Death of the Nile. His two guides - Manar in Cairo and Adel (Luxor and temples along the sail) are exceptional for their knowledge and flexibility. They really curated every day for us based on what we were looking for. Adels advice on the tombs to visit and how to approach them for maximum privacy and appreciation was invaluable. Manar's patience and knowledge of the history of Egypt enriched our experience in the Museums and Giza/Sakkara. The drivers in both Cairo and Luxor were very good. The small boat - Soraiya - has 4 cabins and worked perfectly for us. The chef and server were absolutely the best and the food was probably the best we had in Egypt. I cannot recommend this agency enough if you are looking for a personalized trip to Egypt. Let Ahmed know what your interests are, and he will work on an agenda that is open to change and flexible.

There were 9 of us on a private tour of Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Sahl Hashish. Amazing Global was there with us all along the way. Our tour guides were wonderful guides as well as people. They were knowledgeable and adaptable to our needs and sudden requests. Within hours they repeatedly accommodated our need for an evening car ride to a new destination along with a chaperon guide. We specifically enjoyed Radwa as our tour guide in Cairo. Just as an example, she came one morning at 6 AM to take bunch of us to see the Giza pyramids again right as the gates opened up. This was clearly out of her own willingness and desire to serve our needs; making sure that everyone had adequate time to enjoy the historical magic of these structures. By the way this is the way to see the Pyramids. Regular ours are fine but one has to maneuver the path with hundreds of other tourists. The non-primary guides who accompanied us in the airports or on "after hours" outings were all cordial and friendly as well but speaking English was more of a challenge for most of them. Our lunches were included with the tour and we were pleased with all the selections by Amazing Global and they would order any appetizer or main dish that we would ask for. The lodging accommodations were typically of 4-5 start grade and we were always pleased with the cleanliness, quality of food as well as service provided by the establishment. Ahmed, the tour boss, would routinely check (using WhatsApp) with one of us to make sure all was OK. If visiting the magic of Cairo is your wish then we would definitely recommend going with a tour and the Amazing Global definitely earns our recommendation. By the way, at no point during our our did we feel un-safe in Egypt. Also make certain that a visit to the Valley of the Kings is included in your itinerary. The tour guides will occasionally take you to souvenir shops. As most travelers know such spots on one hand may offer a more secure shopping experience but seldom do they offer "good" prices.
