Aswan Tours and Holidays 2019/2020

“Enjoyed 10 day tours around cairo by Mohammed. Very knowledgeable, casual and flexible guide, the kind you need for crazy cairo. Enjoyed sites with much character and enjoyment by mohammed included old cairo, islamic and coptic sites, explored the touristy bazars of cairo selling all sorts of goods which prices can be bargained for, just don’t carry much money when you agree to price and there a chance you score it cheaper. I did make mistake of buying some spices but not realizing until after the day that taking spices in a clear tied up bag with no labelling won’t necessary pass through immigration in Australia.
To make your tours fun and engaging, choose Mohammed of Ramasside for your tours but
It good also to take note that during your tour of giza pyramids, be clear to what your after as i ended up with a 2min camel ride over short distance with a child handler who seemed more interested in tips then properly guiding the camel and at times even hitting the camel. Mohammed was very good in providing another day for the pyramids complimentary. Do note while your guided at pyramids your ok, but as soon your alone, your harassed consistently by locals offering there services who try to guilt you into accepting there offer. IT'S HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TOUR AND COMPANY!!!”

“I've been in Egypt for in october/2018 with my husband and organized the entire trip with Ramasside.
I've talked to other agencies, but Ramasside was the most organized, fast to answer all my questions and made me feel more safe, thanks to Mohannad Mehany who was always avaiable and helpful until the end of the trip (even when my husband forgot a washbag in the ship, he asked the motorist to pick it up for us and delivered in the next day).
Our trip was totally tailor-made, since the begining we already new all places and temples we wanted to visit, where we wanted to stay longer to explore by ourselves, and these things never were a problem.
We made all tours with motorist and guide exclusive for ourselves, always punctual and helpful.
We had 3 great guides during the trip (Cairo, Aswan/during the Nile cruise and the last one in Luxor), but one of them was outlier, Osama, the best guide in Egypt, always showing the most interesting things, in a good mood, extremely helpful... I really recommend this guide.

Thanks again, Mohannad and Ramasside, everything was perfect in our trip!”

“Our cruise on the Nile Quest from Aswan to Luxor was everything I was hoping for. The room was great and beds were very comfortable. It was In July so very hot and the air conditioner worked great. The staff were wonderful and the food was great. Our Egyptologist Ahmed Wahab is a wealth of information.”

“I had previously booked a very similar trip in 2011, which had been cancelled due to political instability, so I was delighted when I saw this trip which included all the places I had wanted to visit at a very reasonable price! Although the activity level ranked this trip leisurely due to the limited time and so much to see and do - it was very busy. In fact an extra day in Cairo may have made it a little less rushed and given more opportunity to include some more of the optional activities and spend longer at the pyramids and Cairo museum.”

“This trip far exceeded my expectations. As we stopped at three different places, including the cruise, it felt like we had been away for longer than 8 days. We saw SO much! The Cairo Museum was amazing. Karnak Temple, Abu Simbel, the Pyramids at Giza and the Spinx and no crowds. Everywhere we stopped was clean and comfortable. It was a real privilege.”

“I have always wanted to visit Egypt to see the antiquities, but because of the political instability I thought it would be unlikely. So when I saw this trip advertised I jumped at the opportunity. I felt safe thoughout the trip. The first day was a whirlwind visit to the Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Museum in Cairo, the mosque and the bazaar. We then flew to Luxor, visiting the Temple of Karnak and the Temple of Luxor and later boarding the Mirage 1, our cruise boat. This was a great experience, partly because of the wonderful group of people on the trip (19 of us in total), partly because of the comfort on board, the trips and also because the boat had only 40% occupancy so we almost had the boat to ourselves. I think we were all sorry to leave the boat after the 4 nights on board, but the next hotel in Aswan was very comfortable. In spite of visiting many temples and tombs, I never tired of hearing about the Egyptian gods and Pharaohs and looking at the wonderful carvings and art.”

“This was a wonderful trip. It was very exciting to get our first glimpse of the Pyramids which were only a short ride from the airport. There was a few early morning starts which you should be prepared for and lots of optional tours so make sure you have budgeted extra for these. As you have to pay at the local toilets it would be handy to have some small change with you (which isn't easy to get) otherwise you will have some very expensive pees :-) I felt very secure the whole time we were there. There is security at all the hotels and museums.”

“I have always dreamt of visiting Egypt and seeing for my self the many ancient wonders going back to the dawn of history. This trip was a dream come true. Having been back a few days I find it hard to believe I have seen and learnt much about so many awe-inspiring ancient monuments, the life of the Pharoahs, and experienced this wonderful diverse country with its friendly welcoming population. Yes there were many traders selling their wares at most places we visited, but this did not detract from the beauty and the history. Most were very polite and, bearing in mind the average salary is only 7000 Egyptian pounds per month (a little under £300 at the current exchange rate of 23.6) who can blame them for trying to extract the tourist dollar the economy depends so much on. They have some wonderful souvenirs at mainly very cheap prices too. This trip packed in so much - it is not for the infirm or feint hearted - although there is plenty of opportunity to opt out and rest if required. Personally I felt obliged to make the most of the trip and see and learn as much as possible. The Cruise upon our boat Mirage I was sublime with stunning sunsets and amazing views as we chugged up the great Nile to Aswan. The crew were friendly and helpful and a good variety of delicious freshly cooked food - and plenty of it. Overall a dream come true and an amazing experience shared with a great bunch of people on this trip!”
