We had an absolutely wonderful experience exploring Egypt, thanks to the exceptional service and support provided by Ahmad and his team. From start to finish, everything was well organized and thoughtfully planned. Our time in the south of Egypt was the highlight of our journey. Mohamed Emam, our guide, was outstanding! Incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and kind. We’ll be recommending him to anyone travelling to Egypt! The accommodations were generally very good, with the Fairmont Hotel standing out as a true luxury experience. We also spent three unforgettable nights on a dahabiya. The crew was amazing! So warm and welcoming and the experience was both peaceful and immersive. It felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Travel organized really well in every detail .. the staff is very competent both for the organizational part therefore of correspondence via email (fast and willing to help you in any request) and both the operational part in Egypt. We were in Cairo and then on a cruise and I must say everything was perfect. Also the great and plentiful food. We are really VERY happy and recommend (as I already did) this agency to everyone. Thank you very much for what you allowed yourself to see!!! See you soon Manuela

Incredible Journey with Around Egypt Tours – Highly Recommend! I just returned from a once-in-a-lifetime adventure through Egypt, and I owe so much of that experience to the incredible team at Around Egypt Tours. From the initial booking process to the moment I flew home, everything was flawlessly organized and handled with such care. The logistics were smooth and stress-free—airport pickups, hotel accommodations, daily tours, and even the little extras like local dining recommendations were all thoughtfully arranged. I always felt looked after and in good hands. Our tour guides were truly exceptional. Their deep knowledge, storytelling ability, and genuine passion for Egypt’s history and culture made every site we visited so much more meaningful. Whether it was walking through the ancient temples of Luxor or standing in awe at the Pyramids of Giza, I felt completely immersed thanks to their guidance. What really stood out was the personal attention I received. The team was always in touch, ensuring everything was going well, and they were quick to adjust anything I needed along the way. That level of attentiveness made a huge difference and took all the stress out of traveling. If you’re considering a trip to Egypt, don’t hesitate—book with Around Egypt Tours. They don’t just offer tours; they create extraordinary, unforgettable experiences. I can’t wait to return and explore even more with them!

Wow! What an incredible experience! The excitement and passion of Egyptology by our guide, Prince made our experience that much better. Our planning and customization was easy and modified as needed. We explored from Cairo to Abu Simbel and never felt unsafe. If you’re thinking of traveling to Egypt, now is a good time. The temps were great, the crowds were minimal due to 50%+ travel cancellations due to neighboring countries war.
