Egypt Cultural, religious and historic sites Trips

We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Egypt - thanks to our lovely tour guide Adel who was the best, and our amazing group gelling so well together. It’s a very well put together trip including all the major cultural attractions that you would want to visit and we learned so much due to Adel’s expertise and knowledge. For British groups I think the addition of the Cataract Hotel would enhance the experience - we loved it there. And possibly the home of Howard Carter which we did during time we added at the end. Thank you Explore! 😊

Ramadan was such a knowledgeable Egyptologist. I could not imagine doing this trip without him. Not for someone with mobility issues. Heat as high as 39 degrees makes it challenging even for the fittest. Early starts to get there before the crowds and heat was a great testament to local knowledge. Valley of the Kings was an experience that I will never forget. If you have the time, try to take advantage of the option of attending Alexandria. I have come home with a piece of Egypt in my heart

The itinerary was comprehensive and covered all of the sights I wanted to see. The Hilton Ramses was a beautiful hotel with excellent amenities. The location however was not conducive to leaving the hotel. Amir was absolutely fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and very concerned for about our safety. The Nile cruise was spectacular. The cruise line was top notch. The itinerary while on the cruise was amazing. The option to fly to abul Simbel was perfect.

A dream come come true for me. Ive always wanted to see Ancient Egyptian temples and pyramids since I was a child. The Tour Director was exceptional and the accommodation was first class.

Perfect itinerary that packed a lot in and also allowed downtime in afternoons before dinner or other activities. Our guide , was also an Egyptologist and she was a wealth of information. I recommend staying 2 or 3 nights before or after tour for extra activities at Cairo Museums and Alexandria that Trafalgar organise. The tour itself was 2 nights Cairo, 7 on Nile and 2 in Cairo, so no need to continually change hotels etc

The first downfall was not being able to tip prior to the trip. I felt like we were tipping every single day, multiple times a day. I would also recommend that as a traveler you always have small bills on you, as you have to pay to use the restroom - EVEN inside of the museums you have already paid to go into. You have to get a Visa when you enter the country - do not stress! You can easily do this at the airport for $25USD. The trip itself was wonderful. I traveled as a single female and never felt uncomfortable. I enjoyed traveling from the North to South of Egypt. I think that the optional trip to Abu Simbel was nice, but defiantly not worth the money and time spent traveling (by multiple planes). The museums, Nile cruise, home visit were all amazing! Egypt is defiantly a country to see!
