Egypt Tours in May 2027

From being met at Cairo Airport by a Trafalgar representative who smoothe the way through collecting luggage and navigating or way through visa and immigration to the staff at our hotel and dealing with the various bus drivers and providers of other transportation, everything went like clockwork. Our tour director, Mohammed Sherati (not sure of the spelling), was incredibly knowledgeable and his passion for the subject of anything Egyptian shone through in everything he showed and taught us. Absolutely loved the trip!

Well packed, no time wasted,entertaining, very educational 10 day trip Awesome and beautiful culture The cusine was very authentic local preparations one of the kind. Everyone worked hard to make you feel comfortable and safe

This was a very fun informative and action tour the people who looked after us could not do enough for you tour guide was funny and informative very entertaining and enjoyable tour would recommend it too anyone

The airport assistance went smoothly, transportation is always ready and available with good drivers. All the sights in the itinerary were visited (although when I booked the trip, gem was included, but not in the final schedule sent out). The guide , raemon, went out of his way to make sure we were all taken cared of. It helps that he explained the important aspects of the sight/ temple in the car instead of standing under the sun, but made sure to point out what was explained once we got there. With him, you only have to ask, whether about history, a place to eat or shop. Thank you, habibi. The places we stayed in were pretty good.

The itinerary was balanced excellently, there are some very early days but it is worth it to be out early before the crowds and wind down as the heat starts to set in. The traveling within Egypt was coordinated perfectly and was seamless. The cruise ship was very clean and up to date, the rooms were clean and nice. The ship crew were great!! There was a variety of food selections on the ship, with everything being tasty, and even laundry services! The WiFi on the cruise is iffy, so if you need connectivity an esim is useful. The best part of the trip was our truly great travel director who is also an Egyptologist!! He was able to give us facts that we wouldn’t have known otherwise. He was also helpful in every aspect of the trip- making sure everyone was taken care of. He was so excellent that at one point someone from one of the other groups came up to us and said they wish they were with our tour. Surprisingly, dress code was really up to you, and suggested modest only for the day we visited the mosque. I highly recommend an extra day before and after, it is good for the jet lag and the museum trip on the morning of the first day was great, and Alexandria the day after was also great! The one thing was the first hotel we stayed at was great, the rooms were clean and the restaurants were great with great service. The rooms in the last hotel were kind of old, and not that clean. Overall, This was really an amazing trip!! Couple tips, markets and some local restaurants were mainly cash, but the travel directors will direct you to safe atms if you need. Depending on the time of year be prepared for a lot of sun and heat, and good shoes. Also, the hustle culture and haggling is real. Again, a truly amazing experience with trafalgar!!

The itinerary was perfect. It was well balanced with free time. You see all the things you want to see and get to explore on your own at the sites following the tour. In-between time is utilized well with relaxing moments and the ability to rest. There are some early mornings, but that wasn’t an issue. Getting up early allows for more time, more sites, less people at the sites, and less heat/sun.
