What people love about Budget Tours in Egypt
- Egypt Treasures (Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, Felucca sailing ,black &white desert safari) with Domestic flight
I am recently home from Egypt treasures trip, this trip was the best time of my life so far. The first time I have travelled solo and it was fantastic. I had the best group I could possibly wish for ,mix of young people from different countries (south Africa,Canada,USA ,australia)We all loved a good party, we all got along and all brought something unique to the group. We all still speak regularly in our group chat. Our guide Ayman was an awesome , he is very knowledgeable, professional yet super funny and friendly, and very caring and organized. We never had any trouble and our tour was super smooth, he always have us a heads up and provided all the info before we had even thought about asking! he is always happy to help with anything, The tour itinerary was perfect,Saw so many amazing places and experienced more than I could have imagined within 12 days,we had many options of daily activities, and were never forced to do anything we didn't want to. 10 out of 10 would recommend making this tour for everyone.
- Trip to Egypt: Pyramids & Nile by flight - 8 Days
We loved exploring Egypt through this tour! The tour guides were phenomenal and the cruise ship was amazing. Would highly recommend this company!
- Golden Cairo
First and foremost I would like to mention our tour guide Michael who was beyond amazing to have as company for the 5 days we were in Egypt. His friendly and warm aura made us feel very safe and well informed throughout the whole tour. I would also like to thank pebo for being so friendly and smiley. The two hotels included in the tour oasis and lotus were of decent standard, both having pools for guests to use, at lotus there is complimentary wifi in the lobby/reception area but at oasis you have to pay, but it's very affordable. Transport throughout the tour was efficient, the 2 overnight trains included in the package are not too uncomfortable compared to the overnight transport I have been on as a backpacker around the world, although on the way back to Cairo from Luxor the airconditioning was on full blast, which made it very very cold so make sure you pack a pair of trousers and a couple jumpers to keep you warm. Overall for the amount you are paying it was a great tour and it includes many different sites and entry into egypts famous tourist spots, but without a doubt Michael was the one who made the tour so memorable. For anyone thinking about booking this tour, Michael will not dissapoing. Once again thank you timeless tours, and thank you Michael.

What are the best budget-friendly activities to do in Egypt?
Egypt offers numerous affordable experiences that showcase its rich heritage. The Valley of the Kings tour and Karnak Temple complex in Luxor provide excellent value.
