Amazing trip
We were a group of 9 friends that wanted to visit Egypt. We decided to go with expat it was the best decision. As soon as we arrived to Cairo, there was a person to pick us up to bring us to the hotel, there we meet the rest of the group and our guide Ramez. We made a really cute group we enyojed it a lot. Ramez was always there to help us on everything we need. Part of my friends had their flight cancel so they arrived one day after, they weren't able to visit the pyramids but after the 8 days travelling once we returned to Cairo, Ramez arranged everything for them to visit the pyramids with a colleague. We will repeat!

Ramez our tour guide was amazing!!!
Ramez is a really nice and kind person. He is really knowledgeable of the history of Egypt. We went to all of the most important sites and he explained all their history. The drivers and the security are great. We were made to feel safe and cared for. Ramez took into consideration our needs and made sure they were met. We had a lot of fun, and we were left with amazing knowledge about Ancient Egypt. I will probably recommend this tour and our guide to my friends and family.

Egypt is magical!
Our tour was jam packed with details, but worth every minute. We were always busy with something to see or do. Great coordination with the tour guides and time management. Definitely would not have been able to see everything on our own. I felt safe and taken care of at every step. George Tamer was the BEST tour guide. He went above and beyond to make it a great week. All of the other employees involved (drivers, staff) were helpful and warm. Would recommend to anyone wanting to see a great portion of Egypt!

  • Travelling on a felucca is a unique Eqyptian experience. The deck area is covered with comfortable mattresses that will be used for relaxation while cruising along the Nile.

Enjoy the nighttime ambience of the river and starry sky before turning in for the night. Sleeping on a spot near the outer mattress area will allow for some extra space.  
  • As this is ancient Egypt, walkways around many Egyptian ruins can be dusty, and rocky. Be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes and be prepared to get a bit dusty! (You can look forward to a shower at the hotel afterwards).
  • Some hotels in Egypt don’t have lifts so you may need to carry your bags up stairs. It can help to avoid overpacking and bring a bag that you can maneuver easily. Or keep an eye out for hotel staff who can help with luggage. You may even have some helpful fellow travellers who can assist!
  • Temperatures in Egypt can be extremely hot. Travel during slightly cooler times, to avoid the heat of high summer and enjoy more pleasant sightseeing conditions. If you do travel in summer, be sure to pack sunscreen, wear light and airy clothing and stay hydrated.
