An absolute highlight in our holiday. - Everything worked very well and the trip was an absolute highlight of our holiday. Our Egyptologist Khaled really did a great job and shone in every respect with kindness and in-depth expertise. No one was intrusive and no one was forced to do the Nile trip or the like. Even the transfer was immediately available despite the delay on the return flight and we did not have to wait long.

Cairo/Giza From Hurghada By Plane - Fantastic day trip to see the pyramids and sphinx of Giza. We were picked up bang on time at 6am at our hotel in Hurghada. Flight to Cairo was on a small plane, so a little bumpy! It took just over an hour. We went first to spend time at the Egyptian Museum where we were met by our guide Mai, an Egyptian lady who was very knowledgeable on all the history that was displayed at the museum. Mai stayed with us for the whole day, as we were the only English speaking guests on the trip. We were really pleased that we had Mai and learned so much about the pyramids, a lot of which we didn't already know. After a couple of hours at the museum, we headed to Giza, a short journey away. The pyramids and sphinx were pretty mind blowing, it was fantastic to finally see them in the flesh. We chose to pay extra to go inside the smallest of the 3 pyramids. Mai advised us on what to expect and also helped us avoid being scammed or paying too much for some of the gifts that were available to buy off the sellers at Giza. After this we went back to a local restaurant for some food which was actually pretty decent. Drinks were an extra payment, but the food was buffet style, so you could eat as much of it as you wanted. Before our return to the airport in Cairo, we visited a local perfume/oils shop which to be honest wasn't really necessary and pointless really. An obvious way for everyone involved to make some money from the guests. If in doubt just tell them you dont mind looking but wont be buying anything. Our flight back to Hurghada wasn't until after 9pm. When we were about to board the plane we were then told we couldn't, as there was a delay, the flight eventually got away over an hour later than expected, which meant by the time we dropped everyone else off at their hotels, it was well after midnight when we got back to ours. This made it an extremely long day, a bit too long tbh. We had a bus trip booked for the next day to Luxor, which i had to cancel because of this. Please be aware that times stated on the website are only approximate so plan and allow for getting back very late to you're hotel, it is unavoidable. Overall the trip was well worth the money though and we both had an unforgettable experience, one which I would definitely recommend. The only constructive feedback I would like to give, is I think the trip could be made almost perfect by not doing the stop at the perfume place to allow for an earlier flight back to Hurghada, which would then make the length of the day shorter overall. Thank you to Egypt-booking.com for a fantastic experience 👌🙏

Nice Cairo excursion - We had a great 1-day trip from Hurghada to Cairo. The pick up in El Gouna, at night at 03:00 worked well. A short flight to Cairo. There our guide Chaleb received us. With a small tour group of 9 people followed a great day with all the important sights. Chaleb always had good explanations for all guests' questions. The tour was well worked out. Lunch was ok (the waiter didn’t take it so seriously when settling the accounts, but I didn’t notice it until later). Finally, we had a sundowner on a hotel roof overlooking the pyramids. It's as good as it gets. Also the return flight and transfer to the hotel were good and fast again. Only the very late repatriation and 3 hours waiting at the airport would be negative to note. After such a long day, an earlier return flight and a waiting time well below 3 hours (domestic flight) would have been better. But all in all it was a fantastic day with lots of great memories. ägyptbooking.com did a really good job. Many thanks to Chaleb, Mohamed and Abdul.

Cairo visit + Giza pyramids by plane - Great excursion with companion Khalit Omar. He speaks good German and led us very well through the day. Early start at 5:30 a.m. from El Gouna, but worth it. Especially for the first visit to Egypt you can highly recommend this trip!

Cairo in one day just so 👍👍👍 - Found via internet, then booked via WhatsApp without any problems. The day is long, of course, but you also get a lot to offer for your money. Pricewise, this site was unbeatable. It was a wonderful day, which our guide Khaled Omar accompanied super friendly and with expertise. Thanks also to the rest of the whole team, gladly with you again.
