Guides such as Eman, Ahmed, Wael, and Sayed Mohamed have been praised for clear history and personal service. Check your option carefully, since extras may cost more.

“Best part was the camel ride and we have rode camels in many other countries. Bring lots of cash for tips because every man, his dog, police, camel and anyone else you can think of want money from you if you are white. For some unknown reason our guide forgot to take us to the famous souk/market which we booked and would have liked to see. We saw the museum with Tut’s mask even though the guide wanted to take us to the mummy museum which I didn’t want to see. Lunch was ok but does not include drinks so being 20US$ for that. The guide makes sure they leave…”

Travel from Hurghada to Cairo by air-conditioned Mercedes coach with an Egyptologist guide such as Hanan, Ayman, Mohamed, or Hany. Visit the Egyptian Museum, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, and a papyrus workshop, with buffet lunch and hotel transfers included. Expect a very long day, often 18 to 24 hours.

“Packed day, great guide (Mohamed), long journey but the coach had a toilet, great lunch, and of course the sights, which are like nowhere else. It’s long of course, and we had a little waiting around which prolonged our day (they did not cut our attraction time down, instead we just got back late, which is the right way to handle it IMO).”
