Aswan Tours in June 2027

Ramez was an amazing tour leader and brought Egyptology to life.. I broke my ankle before the tour and he made sure I was still able to experience most activities and then itinerary allowed enough rest options for me. We traveled with 2 kids aged 10 and 16 and they loved it, although they were exhausted aft 9 days. We saw so many ancient temples hieroglyphs, mummies that will be memories forever. We felt very safe traveling with a tour group and our tour leader gave us great tips to avoid scams. I'd recommend buying the booklets on Egyptian dynasties and gods from the local sellers to help absorb all the information. A highlight for our 16 yr old was the optional Nubian village tour.

Wow, all I can say is wow. From start to finish this trip has been amazing. Ramez our tour guide was one of the best I've ever had, so knowledgeable, caring for the group and made learning about Egypt so fun! We were so fortunate with the people we had in our group. This has been on my bucket list for ages and to have visited so many places in such a short amount of time was incredible. Especially the cruise on the Nile! Will most definitely be back & recommend to all my friends & family. Thank you once again Ramez & the team at expat for always helping & replying promptly when booking this trip.

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on the Highlights of Egypt and Jordan tour and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Firstly, the selection of hotels provided was outstanding. We stayed in well-appointed accommodations that were not only comfortable but also conveniently located near major attractions. This made it effortless for us to explore the wonders of Egypt and Jordan. Moreover, customer service was exceptional. From the moment we booked the tour until our departure, their team was responsive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. They provided detailed itineraries, offered valuable insights and recommendations, and were always available to address any questions or concerns. Overall, I highly recommend the Highlights of Egypt and Jordan tour. Their excellent choice of hotels, impeccable customer service, and affordable pricing made the entire experience truly memorable. I will definitely be booking future tours to explore more remarkable destinations.

This was a fantastic trip, and our group leader/Egyptologist George Basher had a lot to do with that! He was extremely knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, and even took us to a couple of places not listed on the itinerary, when there was time. He constantly communicated with us about the current/next day's schedule and gave us helpful information about how to stay safe, what to expect, how to deal with the (sometimes very) aggressive vendors, and even offered advice and information on some post-trip activities I was interested in. The schedule was busy, but not exhausting (I am 64 and female), and we had a slower schedule while on the cruise and in Hurgada, which was nice, as it was a chance to ""hang"" with varying people in our group and get to know one another, or just wander on your own. As this was my first group tour with any tour company, and I was traveling alone, I was a bit trepidatious before the trip. However, once we met on the first night and everyone (including George) introduced themselves, I felt completely at ease. I was not the only single traveler, either, there were five of us: three men and two women. My female roommate was (and still is) a wonderful person and we got along very well for the duration of the trip (and beyond)! The sites we visited were all very interesting and George was excellent at explaining the history of what we saw during a walk-through, then allowing us to wander on our own with plenty of time to take pictures, grab a cold beverage and/or a snack, and then meet up with the rest of the group at the designated time and place. George was very kind, approachable, and great at keeping us ""on schedule."" I came home not just having been sightseeing, but having learned much about the history and culture of both present-day and historical Egypt! I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see and learn about Egypt! I imagine all their guides are great, but George went far and above in every way!

This was an excellent trip in April 2022 - great itinerary, so much culture, fantastic guide (Tarek) and such delicious food on the Nile boat. I loved every minute of it, and so glad I went. Particular highlights for me were the temples at Karnack, Valley of the Kings, the food on the Nile boat and the yellowness of the sandstorm that engulfed us on our way back from Abu Simbel! It is however, not a trip for the faint-hearted. There are LOTS of early starts. Almost every day was a start before 7am and on a couple of days, it was up at 3am. There is LOTS of walking, I think I did about 27 miles in the 9 days - to/from temples, round museums, in/out of airports, to/from local markets etc. Personally, I am not sure I would label this as 'leisurely' - yes, there were no hills to climb, but it was often uneven, sandy ground we walking on and when I went, Egypt was also going through a heatwave, so it was 43 or 44 degrees every day. I ignored some of the optional extras so I could have some down time on the boat. I would also add that in additional to the 'essentials' listed on the what to take, you also need: sunhat, scarf to cover your shoulders and women need to wear a long skirt for the day they are going into the mosque in Cairo. Refillable water bottle and light/comfortable walking shoes - very essential! Also, take US dollars as your main currency (small denominations and not ripped notes). You will need some Egyptian pounds for some of the attractions, but everywhere they just want hard currency - even at the local markets. Final word of advice - don't bother with the extra walk INSIDE the pyramid in Cairo. It is near vertical, baking hot and nothing to see at the end of it. My legs were wobbly for hours afterwards. Overall, this was a totally amazing trip though and hope you enjoy it.

My wife and I just came back from an incredible trip which surpassed all our expectations. We are forever grateful to Ahmed who helped us to devise the trip. On our arrival to the Cairo airport we were greeted by Tarke the tour leader he helped us to get our visa in no time and escorted us to the hotel , Later that day under Fayeds guidance we explored the pyramids at Giza and Cairo, After flying from Cairo to Aswan we were met by Muhammed our guide for the southern part of our trip. With him we visited Philae island , Abu Simbel, and other sites. Muhammed accompanied us during our Nile Cruise while we visited multiple sites, Luxor and beyond Upon completion of our Nile Cruise we flew back to Cairo.both of our guides were superb, and the friendliness and willingness to make our trip a pleasant one was unparalleled. Our trip consultant Ahmed was checking on us in person, and by phone throughout the trip making sure that things were going well.So,many-many thanks for making our trip truly a trip of a lifetime.
