Safaga Tours and Trips

As one would expect on a trip of this nature not all accommodation was great but that is part of the experience. It was all great fun and kept us busy.

An excellent full on trip to Egypt with Mego as a perfect unflappable hugely knowledgeable guide. The new museum now open at Giza an added bonus to all the other great sites. It’s also worth the added effort to bus to Abu Simbel.

We had an amazing trip, our tour guide Saeed was really excellent. He had a great knowledge and enthusiasm about all things Egyptian which he passed on to our group. He also had a great personality and sense of humour and kept my 4 teenage boys entertained with stories and anecdotes. They all agreed that he was one of the best things about the trip. The trip was varied and covered all of the main sights and experiences. We loved the Nubian homestay and the felucca trip. We had a lovely group/friendly families which made the trip even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend it.

I can’t believe what and how much we saw on this trip. Our guide expertly guided us through the sites of ancient Egypt. Everything was well organised - transport, hotels and itinerary. There is no way of being able to see all that we saw without Explore.

We had such a great time on this trip. Some brilliant sites and our guide Mego was so knowledgeable. He was very helpful at recommending restaurants and arranging reservations and transport. All the accommodation was to a good standard and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend this trip and the guide.

This trip absolutely exceeded our expectations. Our tour leader, Maged, had everything under control the whole time which made moving from place to place seamless. Maged's suggestion to get up early, meant we got to the sights before they got crowded or too hot, and left us time to relax in the afternoons. Restaurant suggestions were also fantastic.. The different accommodation styles (hotels, home stay and felucca) and different transportation (minibus, sleeper train and felucca) gave a really varied experience. The home stay felt authentic rather than ‘set up’ and the children enjoyed playing football together. Maged’s knowledge of the ancient history made every tomb/temple visit engaging for both adults and kids. Ending the holiday with some time at the Red Sea really topped it off, with some fabulous snorkelling. Being in a small group was brilliant, not feeling like we were being herded around sites and there was freedom to explore each site on our own after Maged’s tour. Each family member has a different highlight, although it’s really hard to pick a favourite, which shows the itinerary really caters for everyone. The trip is full on, which suits us as a family, but with the full itinerary and some long travel times this might not be a trip that would suit families with younger children (our children were 11 and 13 on this trip).
