- JMJoseph· October 30th, 2025Hossam and Sohaila were both excellent guides and true Egyptologists. The tour organisers, Mohamed and Alaa, were available to deal with any issues and were very responsive.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- AA· October 23rd, 2025Overall I think this trip was fantastic. This was our first time in Egypt and it was truly a great experience for us. What made it great were our tour guides. Sohailia was with us for 1 day of the pyramid tour and Ahmed was with us for the remainder. Both guides were fantastic. Ahmed was so passionate and knowledgeable about everything. He truly did the most to ensure our comfort and we were so happy with him as our guide. It was organized well and we saw exactly what we wanted to. The one small complaint I do have is regarding transportation. If you choose this trip, make sure you know how much time you will be spending in a car/bus. The car rides were generally okay however our last day when we took a bus from Hurghada to Cairo, it was a terrible experience. We were left to navigate the bus station ourselves and it was an 8 hour ride on a cramped and frankly, smelly bus. I wish there was more indication of how the commute back to Cairo would be. Food became a little redundant especially on the cruise and at the resort. Overall if you can look past the nitty/gritty, I think it’s a wonderful trip to book.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- Jobert· October 22nd, 2025SIMPLY THE BEST!!! What a better way to spend our holidays in Egypt. Rich in ancient history and unforgettable adventure experiences from land, air and water. To our hotels, pyramids, museums, temples, nile cruise, hot air balloons and paradise island, all were fantastic. I would like to give credit to Alaa and manager Mohamed for organising this wonderful tour and addressing our requests. For Hassan and Sohaila, our tour guide, for sharing their amazing knowledge. We will recommend it to others. Happy travels.Show more
Trip date: October 2025 - Liera Joy· October 22nd, 2025This tour is wonderful and has excellent services. I Can definitely recommend to others that wanted to explore and learn Egypt's great history. Worth the price, the tour guide was wonderful and very helpful. The hotels that we have stayed in was excellent. Helnan Hotel in Cairo for a night, 4 nights in Nabilatan Cruise boat in Nile river and Casa del Mar resort in Hurgada. Food was really great and there are loads of wonderful picturesque view everywhere and nice water activity as well in their lovely beach. Thank you for all of our wonderful tour guides Sohaila and Hassan, our tour manager Mohammed for making this trip possible. It was really fun, we also met new friends in this tour group. Very Unforgetable trip.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- JOAN· October 22nd, 2025A Perfectly Organized Egypt Tour – Truly the Trip of a Lifetime! We have just finished the most unforgettable trip to Egypt with Holiday in Egypt, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The itinerary was well-balanced, and we felt completely supported throughout the journey. We began our adventure in Cairo, staying at the Helnan Dreamland Hotel—a clean and comfortable property with great service. Our Cairo guide, Suhaila, was phenomenal. She brought the ancient sites to life with her deep historical knowledge, engaging storytelling, and warm personality. Visiting the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum with her was a highlight in itself. From Cairo, we took the sleeper train to Aswan, which was a unique and comfortable experience. Upon arrival, we boarded the M/S Nabilatan for a 2-night, 3-day Nile Cruise—a relaxing and scenic way to explore the treasures along the Nile. Our guide during the cruise, Hassan, was outstanding. He guided us through temples in Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu, and Luxor, including Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. His passion for Egyptian history and clear explanations made every site meaningful. One of the most unforgettable experiences was the hot air balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise—absolutely magical and something we’ll never forget. We ended our trip in Hurghada, staying at the lovely Iberotel Casa Del Mar Resort. It was the perfect place to relax, with great food, service, and proximity to the beach. The snorkeling excursion in the Red Sea was another major highlight—calm, clear waters and colorful marine life made it an incredible experience. A special thank you goes to our Tour Manager, Mohammed, who was with us every step of the way, ensuring everything ran smoothly—from transport and accommodations to check-ins and day-to-day support. If you're considering a trip to Egypt, I highly recommend Holiday in Egypt. With excellent guides, seamless logistics, and unforgettable experiences, this tour was truly the trip of a lifetime!Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- SSara· October 21st, 2025This was my first group tour and first time visiting Egypt. It would have been much more difficult to plan everything and with the guided trip I didn’t have to worry about anything. All the transportation, lodging, meals, guides, and even tipping was taken care of. Everyday was packed full and I am pleased with everything I got to see and experience in the 8 days of the tour. The only thing that I wasn’t expecting was that our group fluctuated with different people and we had a few different guides. I had expected to have the same people and one guide for the entirety of the trip. Overall, I would recommend this company.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- Ariane Joy· October 21st, 2025If you want a well-organized trip, this is your sign to book this tour! We are dead tired hospital nurses and this is literally our most rewarding tour!!! We are spoiled by the operator😅🤣 We had a nice time exploring Egypt. We availed the 8 days tour. We started with Cairo, took the Nile Cruise down to Aswan and Luxor and ended in Hurghada. I recommend that you avail all the add-ons if you can, its totally worth it. They also did not disappoint us with the cruise and hotels that they assigned (Helnan hotel, Nabilatan Nile Cruise, Casa Del Mar Resort), all are stunning with excellent service⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Alaa for making this trip possible. Mohamed, our tour manager for arranging our requests. Sohalia and Hassan, our amazing guides! You made us want to re-visit British museum and Louvre🤩 And to our friendly cruise manager and crews and hotel staffs, you guys are the the best. Highly recommended!!!Show moreTrip date: October 2025

- LOLaura Catalina· October 8th, 2025I travelled with friends and had an amazing experience. The agency arranged everything perfectly, we had great hotel and cruise, and all felt smoothly. We also had our guide all the time that was checking on us and enriching this experience with history of Egypt and its temples. The only downside was the sleeper train, which was a whole experience and would rather take the flight upgrade. Other than that, I would 10/10 recommend this tour.Show moreTrip date: October 2025

Asked on September 17th, 2025Any suggestions on what time their flights should arrive at the beginning or departure time after?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2025
Since they will be arriving two days before the tour start date, you can simply book any available flight. If they arrive on March 2, they can land at any time during the day, and we will ensure pickup from Cairo Airport regardless of the arrival time. Please note that standard hotel check-in time is 12:00 PM. For the departure flight, kindly aim for a flight leaving Cairo after 9:00 PM so they can fully enjoy their last day at the all-inclusive resort in Hurghada. Alternatively, you may also consider booking a flight directly from Hurghada Airport.

Traveler•Written September 2025I have a question about visa, I have a US passport do I need any documents for Visa on arrival? What is the process of getting one?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2025
American passport holders can obtain a visa upon arrival in Egypt. The process is very straightforward. You'll just need $25 USD in cash to purchase the visa sticker from the kiosks located inside the arrival terminal. These kiosks are open 24 hours. Once you pay the $25 USD at the kiosk, you'll receive a small sticker to place on a blank page in your passport. After that, simply hand your passport to the immigration officer, who will stamp it right away. The entire process usually takes no more than 5 minutes and is generally more convenient than applying for an e-visa in advance.

Traveler•Written September 2025Can I add the optional tours later? What time is the bus arriving at cairo airport from hurghada?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written September 2025
Optional excursions can be booked either in advance or locally during the tour—both options are available. Regarding the bus from Hurghada to Cairo, it will depend on your international departure flight schedule. We'd appreciate it if you could share your flight details so we can arrange the bus journey accordingly. If you haven't booked your international flight yet, we recommend choosing a departure from Cairo after 10:00 pm. This way, you'll have enough time to enjoy your day at the Hurghada resort before traveling back.

Asked on August 30th, 2025Would the airport pick up still apply at that time and also would it be possible to book that night in the hotel in Cairo? Would it be easier for me to fly out of Hurghada and therefore would not need the transfer back to Cairo. Could I get a quote for this itinerary as a solo traveller?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written August 2025
Yes, the airport pickup will still be available for you even with the late arrival at 23:30. We can also arrange an extra night in Cairo before your tour begins. We can adjust the itinerary so we can transfer you to Hurghada Airport instead of transferring to Hurghada bus station.
