    The tour includes many beautiful places and experiences, but they have to be "hard earned". There are long drives, sometimes for hours in traffic jams in Cairo, where the air is bad and the traffic is terrible. Our "four nights" in the desert turned into just one (we were told it was impossible because of the weather, but all those days were good weather). Instead of the desert nights, we stayed in three third-class hotels (cracked walls, one in the middle of a noisy town, the muezzin twice in the immediate vicinity). The guides on the desert tour are reliable and do a good job. But they speak very little English; and you don't even have to ask questions about the origin, vegetation or animals; they don't understand them and perhaps wouldn't know the answer either...The Niel cruise was a disappointment. We checked in at midday on an old cruise ship that was moored between four others and stayed there for more than 26 hours. Then the next day we finally left at four instead of two, so we only had two hours of daylight to enjoy what must have been a beautiful cruise. When you arrived at a sight, thousands of tourists ran through the ruins of the temples, real mass tourism! The nights on the ship are terrible; you always have at least 40 decibels of noise from the generators! We were looking forward to sailing in Aswan. Don't look forward to it! It's two quarter-hour trips to an island where they've moved a temple that would otherwise be under water (after the Aswan dam was built). We had the best vacation in Sham el Sheikh. Everything was great there. But you don't have to book the 20-day tour for that. What we almost couldn't bear until the end were the countless people who wanted to sell us something, carry suitcases for money, beg and even try to rip us off...

    I rarely give 5 stars. I experienced the most minor difficulties none of which were the fault of Ancient Egypt. I was extremely pleased with the guides. They all went far beyond expectations! The bulk of the itinerary (I'd shorten the Red Sea and extend Alex or the Desert) was right on target. Lodging was very good (excellent by Egyptian standards). Food was ample even gluttonous leaving me heavier and happier. Safety and security were never an issue. Transport was prompt and efficient (fly vice train to Aswan). I tour 4-5 times a year and unreservedly endorse this tour (qualifiers being with fear of Covid, I "owned" most sites we visited)..Plenty of optional activities available. Night light shows and Balloon rides are not to be missed.

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      1) By any chance, do any of these tours of 20/19/18 days go to Abu Simbel in Aswan? They did not mention anything about this temple. 2) In the Valley of King, does the tour have a time for air balloon option? 3) In the Valle of King, can people go to visit additional extra pay tombs? (other than 3 tombs which include entrance fee)

    • Ancient Egypt ToursOperatorWritten October 2024

      Abu Simbel tour could be added to any tour that includes Aswan. Hot air balloon is available in Luxor. You can visit more tombs during you visit to the Valley of the kings. Make sure to buy the ticket on your way in from the ticket office before you enter the valley

    • Ancient Egypt ToursOperatorWritten October 2024

      I haven't received a booking that is the same tour and date. The tour runs every day. Our Tours are guaranteed departure so if I only have one booking I run the tour on private basis for no extra charge
