Iconic Egypt Tour: Cairo, Alexandria, Nile & Abu Simbel

This tour was Iconic as It is, I would like to tell you the whole experience. The transportation was so comfortable and cozy. Everything was so organized and flexible, this package was enough to cover all the wonderful spots and more. All the tours was more than I imagined. I am so grateful that I choose your company to have an Iconic trip.

My friend and I arrived at Cairo airport, after flying on Egypt Air from New York . We were met by Mohamad. He got our Visas and took us to a car and we were driven to Fairmont Nile city. The hotel was lovely. We were picked up later by our guide Ahmed , an Egyptologist, and driver we started our tour in Cairo by visiting the Great Pyramid, then on to Saqqara, a carpet making school. The next day we saw the Hanging Church, the market and we had a wonderful Egyptian lunch, then the Egyptian museum. The following day we flew to Luxor and met our next guide, another Egyptologist Saad, , who took us for our 5 days Nile cruise on the Minerva Cruise. Saad led us to all the sites from Luxor to Aswan . The ship had a wonderful crew, and all trips to the Temples and tombs were seamless. We took a fun hot air balloon ride in Luxor. The guides, the food, the hotels and flights were all perfect. We felt safe and cared for the whole trip.

I had wanted to come to Egypt most of my life, so I researched many trips online to see which ones went where. I wanted to go and this one just sent an email all of them as far as what was available and what you saw. It wasn’t flying to just two or three major sites. It had all that I wanted to see so I was very pleased with it. I felt completely safe the whole time. I felt we had wonderful security watching out for us. I think that, because they want tourists to come and see Egypt, that’s why it is so safe. I did not feel one bit unsafe the whole time I was there. The tour guides ( Randa & Remon)were wonderful, and we had several of them at any given time with us. They were all so helpful, very informed and well-read.

Our travel coordinator was always very responsive and understood our needs perfectly. We take frequent bespoke trips in all parts of the world and this trip was one of our favorites!

felt there was a perfect blend of organised activities and free time to relax. Our car was comfortable, modern and clean. Altogether was an incredible experience, one that I will never forget. The attention to detail was superb, everything went without a hitch. The hotels I stayed in were fabulous and the cabin on board the MS Minerva was lovely with a large window to look out of as we sailed down the Nile. The cruise down the Nile was fantastic, the crew on board the MS Minerva were wonderful, and our tour guide was so personable and knowledgeable.
