What people love about Egypt Tours in December
- Best Of Egypt - 5* Cruise
It was one of the best tour that I've ever experienced. I was amazed how everyone at Expat explore handled my journey in Egypt. I am deaf, was 66 y. old at the time of my visit in 2015. I was supposed to share my hotel rooms with someone, but very good surprise to have rooms just for myself. Individual guide and chauffeur (Bassam). By air from Cairo to Luxor and seaside resort instead by buses without extra costs. My experience at Egypt for a couple of weeks was very smooth and enjoyable. I would recommend Expat Explore with Hany Saleeb, he checked with me after the end of each tour to make sure if I was happy or any complain but nothing to complain. It was beyond my expectations
- Egypt Explorer - Felucca cruise & Red Sea
Marvelous tour and great service. The acquaintance with Egypt I started from visiting one of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World – Giza Pyramids. This was maybe one of the most impressive sights I’ve seen, if we do not consider the temples of Abu Simbel. Though it was not only historical places that attracted me in Egypt but the distinctive nature as well – endless deserts, beautiful beaches, Nile… What made me really feel comfortable in a country of different habits and customs was the service provided by the tour company. I was placed in 3 star hotels though the service there was really higher quality – everything was so clean and cozy and the stuff was very kind and amiable. The tour guide was extremely helpful and polite; with great sense of humor and very friendly. It was really interesting to listen to the stories he was telling about each sight. I’d really take another tour to Egypt as one is not enough for sure!!!!!! And of course I’d recommend it to all!
- 9 Days Nile Jewel Tour (Superior Hotels) with GEM Museum Visit
not being a sailor I didn't know what to expect- however I didn't even know the boat was moving! smooth sailing all the way, the food was excellent, entertainment great, staff were fun and we thoroughly absorbed all of the culture and history that presented to us. The Galabaya party on board was heaps of fun- with those distinctly Egyptian games being a real laugh! On our cruise we were lucky?? enough to be in Aswan when hit record temperatures of 43 degrees- thank god for cool drinks and air-conditioning...
