What people are saying about Hurghada

Picked-up from the resort, dropped-off at the resort by taxi. Our tour guide Sarwat was waiting for us in Cairo, 12 people in a big air conditioned van. Sarwat is very knowledgeable and funny too. We were surprised with some absolutely delicious falafels from breakfast, the best I’ve ever had. Bottles of water included too. We stopped at an oil/perfum shop, but as I suffer from migraine I stayed in the van with the driver. We paid €10 extra for a boat ride which was nice. Egyptian Museum amazing, Pyramids amazing and plenty of time, to go to the place to take pictures with all the 9 pyramids in view we went on camels, a great choice, they are just very tall! You could choose to go by horse and carriage, that was 250EP per person, but totally worth it. The camel guy takes lots of amazing pictures for you in funny poses, he will probably call you Shakira or Rambo! We could have gone to a papyrus shop, but we were all tired and preferred to go to the airport. Super recommend this trip!

This day was really incredibly beautiful. We were picked up at the hotel in Hurghada at 11.50pm. Our driver Bebo spoke good English and got us safely to Luxor so we could sleep in the car with no worries. We got to a parking lot in Luxor at 4am and had to wait an hour for a minibus to take us to a field near the Valley of the Kings. The balloon ride there took 45-60 minutes and was really beautiful with the blood-red sunrise! After that we met our tour guide Sayed who studied Egyptology and German. We had such an instructive and exciting day with him, we agreed with him individually what we would like to do. Our Itinerary: Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Workers, Guided Stone Workshop, Nile Cruise, Lunch, Karnak Temple and Luxor Coach Ride. A truly unforgettable day :)

What an amazing experience. Very well organised from Bomba and Arwa, however a very long journey and quite cold in the early hours (bring a jacket and bag because it gets hot later on). Our Driver Mohamed Zamzam was supportive and helpful throughout the whole journey to and from Luxor and in Luxor too, couldn’t have asked for a better driver. Our Tour Guide Mohamed Sadiq was very knowledgeable and also very helpful when it came to recommendations, I liked that he never forced anything on us and let us choose our desired locations, he also welcomed me and my wife into his home city with open arms. Overall great experience but a very tiring one.

BREATHTAKING Experience!! Thank you so much to Arwa who arranged our whole tour was so good! Everything was organised and on point! Mohammed was an amazing chauffeur such a lovely guy and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Ahmed he was also amazing very good at story telling could listen to him all day haha!

The tour was well organised, our guide in Cairo. Hanan, was very knowledgeable and provided an appropriate level of information while still allowing free time.
