Tutto perfetto,organizzato nei minimi particolari con totale assenza di tempi morti durante le ore di sosta al Cairo. Menzione al viaggio, si sopporta ma é pesante la burocrazia egiziana effettua molti controlli per cui il tempo di viaggio si dilaterà . Detto questo ne vale assolutissimamente la pena.

The couch journey is very long and we found it difficult to sleep on. Once we arrived at the museum we were put into a small group of 10 people all English speakers. Our guides name was Saber. He was very helpful and very good at explaining the history of Egypt and the artefacts in the museum. He was eager to show us everything in the museum (unlike some other groups around us with other companies who were told they had under an hour to look round). Our tour guide also provided us with free waters on the journey.

After we paid €10 to go on the boat trip on the Nile. You can choose to not go on if that is what you wish.

After we had a lovely lunch at a small Egyptian restaurant where they served us a lot of food. Mainly chicken sewers and koftas with bread and rice.

We then went to the pyramids which were truly amazing. We were allowed to go and touch the pyramids and sit on the stones.

There are a lot of locals at the pyramids that are trying to sell things to you. My partner was being pushed to buy something. He agreed and then the seller tripled the price. Luckily our tour guide Saber came to our rescue and told them we would not be paying.

Saber said if anyone in the group wished to ride one of the horses or camels they should tell him first and he would negotiate a fair price with the locals there to safe us from getting overcharged.

we went to the Sphinxs next. This was truly a wonder.

Our tour guide said we would go to an Egyptian perfume shop. Some of our group did not wish to come in and so were told they could wait in the mini bus. Me and my partner went in and we brought an oil each. The sellers were not pushy they were a family buissness and had good hospitality.

We run out of time to have free time to ourselves in Cairo as the other groups were ready early. We were back on the coach home for 5:30.

Despite the long coach journey we had a wonderful time and would say it is worth the money and time. Our tour guide, Saber made it very special and we would recommend it.

The tour was really efficient in covering the best of Cairo (Giza pyramids, the sphinx, Egyptian museum, Nile River sailing) with a budget bus trip from Sharm. Our private Egyptologist guide Mario was really helpful and knowledgable guide in making the best use of our time in Cairo. Strongly recommended.

Excellent trip to Cairo by bus, well organised with good communication with the tour operator (via what’s app).

Long journey from / return to Sharm el Sheikh but definitely worth it to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx, and also the boat ride on the river Nile were my highlights. Our guide Saber was very good with great Egyptology knowledge and great enthusiasm.

Thank you team for making this a great experience I will never forget !

An excellent tour to Cairo from Sharm el Sheikh. Expect a long bus ride but secure travel via convoy to ensure passenger safety (when needed). Be prepared to be out for a long period -24 hrs for is us approx…but worth it!

Loved the pyramids, boat ride on the River Nile and the guide Saber was really informative with good enthusiasm and Egyptology knowledge - which was awesome.

There were opportunities for toilet/ convenience breaks, and to get food. The meal provided as part of the programme was good too.

Overall an awesome experience that I won’t forget ! Thanks to travel team… it was good that they could keep in touch via what’s app to answer questions (especially about the e-Visa and passport stamp needed for Cairo)….

Awesome !

2 days in Cairo
1 day ancient Egypt; museum and pyramids.
2 days in Cairo bazaar, on the trail of Christian, Jewish and Muslim religions.
We recommend 2 days. The bus ride is very exhausting.
The night with a view of the pyramids was great.

Our guide Hamdeen was very nice and informative. THANK YOU and everything in perfect German.
The small group consisted of a maximum of 6 people.
Everything was taken into consideration. Any extras we didn't want (felukka camel) were not done.

All questions were answered quickly via WhatsApp beforehand and during the trip.

We had a big problem. A passport was lost in the museum and the tour operator organized it in the evening....we are very grateful and satisfied and recommend this operator.

We travelled from Sharm to Cairo by bus with Book Tour Egypt Agency.
The trip begins at 1a.m. and there is only one stop at 5.30 a.m. to have breakfast. You will arrive finally at 9 a.m. to Cairo where the daily trip will begin, by visiting the Egyptian Museum till 11.30. After this you can choose to have a Nile Boat trip of 30 minutes. After this, you will visit Papyrus shop and lunch time at restaurant later.
In the afternoon, after lunch you will visit pyramids (2 p.m.), we went inside the biggest Pyramid of Giza and it was very hot inside and very tight space. After this we took photos and went to the side of Sahara desert, where you can choose to have a look of the 3 Great Pyramids of Giza.
Please don’t pay for riding camels and horses, they are treated very badly. Please choose to pay just to walk in the Sahara. Save animals.
After Sahara we went to visit Sphinx side, it was very beautiful.
At 5 p.m. we went to perfume shop, where a guy explained us how they make 100% natural perfumes and let us to smell 4 of them.
- during papyrus experience, the seller was very annoying and pushing, we liked how they show how to make papyrus but sellers are very pushing
- english guide Aladdin was very nice and friendly but we think he also scammed a little bit because at the end of the day he asked us for 160$ for services he did for us during day (boat trip (he said it was 30$ both of us), camels ride, 4 bottles of water, 2 cokes, photo at the pyramid and at the Sphinx)
- after all, our guide was good because he took very good photos of us and convinced the security to let us to visit Sphinx even at closing time (5 p.m.)
- restaurant Mawlana at lunch was very bad, poor quality, i felt bad in my tummy but my beloved didn’t
- it’s very fast visit. you need to visit fast everything, don’t lose time w food outside lunchtime and drinks because you won’t be able to visit everything
- don’t pay for rides on animals, they are overstressed and used for money
- The driver ask you in the end of day if you want dinner (5€) chicken and fries in your ride back to sharm
- we recommend the trip by bus because time difference by plane is not so much (2/3 hours) and the payment difference is very high (60€ by bus per 24h for person) (250€ by plane per 20h approx for person)
IMPORTANT: if you want to visit Cairo and Luxor you must pay at the arrival in airport for the Visa (30€/25$)
- We recommend to buy the trip the first days of travel or even before travel begins because the trips are not everyday available
- We recommend to buy sim card to have good connection to interact with agency that will contact you on whatsapp for cash payments and meeting
- the agency is available on answering messages even at 1 am at the departure
