Hurghada Tours in Winter

The tour company gave us a marvelous Egypt experience. We were able to experience several cities, enjoy a lovely 3-day cruise on the Nile, and visit multiple historical pyramids, tombs, and temples with a knowledgeable tour guide always at our side over a couple of weeks. I recommend the tour company.

We had a great and well organized trip. Knowledgeable and friendly guides, nice hotels and a full itinerary. We spent time in Cairo and Alexandria seeing the sights, a river cruise from Aswan to Luxor and toured the Valley of the Kings, and water time in Hurghada. Each place was unique and worth visiting.

I cant wait to come back and see more with you! We booked the private Hurghada to Luxor tour, when I saw the pick up time I was dreading it (5 am)... However, the quality of the vehicle and the driver quickly started to make my fears and apprehension dissolve. Upon our arrival we met our tour guide, Mido who was so knowledgeable and friendly we had an amazing time. From the onset Mido was friendly and approachable- no question was a stupid question and he had the answers at his fingertips. I wanted to buy some gifts for family and friends and Mido and the driver fitted in the time during the tour to do this. The buffet lunch on the banks of the Nile was good too- lovely baklava! I cant recommend this tour enough- despite not experiencing the other guides I can highly recommend asking for Mido as I couldnt fault him! Definitely pay the extra for the Tomb of the Golden Boy King (Tutankhamun)! Outstanding value compared to Thomas Cook prices for same tour (80 cheaper for both of us and a personal guide) I would recommend Sharm Wonders and would use them again when visiting Egypt

Our pick up from the hotel was at 5:15am. Our (private) driver was on time & very friendly. You have to remember that the driving in Egypt is far from similar to European standards. You just have to trust the driver & that is exactly what we did. The drive to Luxor takes roughly 4hrs. With one rest stop. Our guide was ready to meet us when we arrived in Luxor, Karnak Temple. We were one of the first few people at the temple in the morning. Not a lot of people. Our guide was very informative, telling us about the temple and its little details. Followed by free time to roam & take pictures. We discussed our preferences with our tour guide about what we would like to see & didnt want to see. Sure he will ask you a few times if your sure on opting out on anything (like the boat ride on the Nile), but he will respect your decision. At the restaurant there was a nice selection of salads, chicken/meat & cooked vegetables. As well as desserts. The food is included in the price, however the drinks are not. A soda costs roughly 30 Egyptian Pounds. Theres bathrooms to freshen up in too. Our next stop was Valley of the Kings. Youre not allowed to take pictures outside. There are many signs. I advise you follow them. Youre given a ticket & youll be able to visit 3 tombs. Such a breathtaking experience. Detailed & colorful hieroglyphics spread across every surface. Hatshepsut temple was our final stop. A beautiful temple cascaded by mountains. Sadly most of it is restored however, still a beautiful sight. We opted out on seeing the papyrus & albatros stores. Since we only wanted to see the ancient sites & not go shopping. Dont forget to tip your tour guide & driver after the trip!

The tour was busy with activities. Especially with all the extra activities that one could take part in. The tour guide Meena was very helpful and a wealth of knowledge. If you are not used to it local food can cause stomach issues. I just wish I had more time at each of the activities. I suggest you buy a Egyptian SIM while traveling in Egypt or have good roaming plan.
