3 Day Egypt Highlights From Hurghada

A really amazing trip, we were very well looked after by everyone from the tour company and especially our guides: Mohammed, Soha and Nrmina, who were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history and antiquities. The hotel, bfast boxes, lunches and cars were all very nice and comfortable. It is a busy schedule and so quite tiring with early starts every day but worth it, as the sights in Cairo, Aswan and Luxor are all superb and brought to life by our guides insights. Having your own car, driver and guide all day was a real luxury, we never had to queue and the drivers were always there when and where needed. A big thank you to our wonderful guides (Mohammed, Soha and Nrmina) and all the drivers. A special thank you to Soha for organising a trip on the Nile in a Felucca with lunch and flowers for my birthday!

3 Days Best of Egypt We booked for a 3-day trip (3rd to 5th Dec 2021) from Hurghada which includes Cairo, Aswan (Abu Simbel) and Luxor. It was well planned and nicely executed by Egypt Tour Portals Day 1: Picked up from our Hotels in Hurghada and transferred to Hurghada Airport for Cairo. Cairo: We met our tour guide Mahmood, and he was amazing in explaining the history of the place and he led us to a mesmerizing day through the Giza Pyramids Complex, the sphinx, the fun-filled camel ride around the pyramids and the famous Egyptian Museum. He Also helped us get a camel ride for better view of the Pyramids. Mahmood was kind enough to negotiate on our behalf to get us a better deal on souvenirs. We enjoyed each moment spent in Cairo, I would recommend him for great experience in Cairo. In the evening he dropped us at the airport for out flight to Aswan. Aswan and Abu Simbel: we stayed overnight at in a hotel in Aswan and early morning stayed our journey to Abu Simbel with our guide. Day2: The Abu Simbel was indeed a nice experience especially given the history behind it. Even though it was a long journey to Abu Simbel, it was worth it. Once we are back at Aswan, we had lunch and got our train to Luxor. Luxor: As soon as we get down at the Luxor train station, we were greeted by our tour guide Samar and transferred to hotel. She is one the nicest lady we met in Egypt. Day3: She knew Luxor history very well and went way beyond her duty to make us feel comfortable. Valley of the Kings, The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and Karnak Temples are the highlights of Luxor. From sharing the history of Luxor, taking us through the sands of time in the valley of kings, sailing us across the river Nile for lunch and serving us sugarcane juice she did it all so perfect. Samar is the perfect hostess, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. At the end of our Trip, we were transferred to our hotel in Hurghada. We enjoyed Egypt a lot specially with Egypt Tour Portals and hope to come back soon.

Must request this amazing guide when visiting these areas. Mahmoud Nour was very knowledgeable about everything Egypt, the area, and history. His English was amazing. He had a sense of humor and was so enjoyable to spend time with. Our group of 15 Americans had a blast and learned a lot. He added a lot of flair to our trip and some little extras with his vast experiences in the areas. I highly recommend his services if you are able. A+++
