  • The Magic of Egypt - 6 Days Cairo & Luxor Guided Tours by Overnight Train reviewer 1
    · May 7th, 2024
    Full packed itinerary. The experience was great with our tour guides who were all friendly, beginning in ciaro with the pyramids and Giza. The night bus was comfortable but stopped quite a bit on the way. The next day in luxor was a great experience though very busy. A full day after a disrupted bus sleep was a bit much. Khaled looked after us though and found a place to rest for a few hours which helped after the many hours of walking. Be prepared for a busy schedule on the tour and maybe take some sleeping tablets for the bus ride.
