Bucket list trip🇪🇬
Went back in November with me and my sister, was a once in a life time trip! It was us 2, another 2 sisters from America and a family of 6 from UK. It was a lovely small group of 10 of us to 1 tour guide and 1 driver. We were told our flights and pick up time in advance and I asked as many questions as I needed where they answered promptly on WhatsApp. I unfortunately got the wrong stamp at boarder control despite paying for a VISA, so they sorted this for me at the airport which was great! Our pickup time was 3:30am and flight at 5am, so we landed in Cairo at a beautiful early time to miss all the traffic! Flight was great, nice big plane with free snacks and water which was nice. Great communication telling us where to go to get picked up, met our guide and off we went in our mini bus. Started at the pyramids 8am which was a great time to go early morning, especially with how hot it was too, tour guide Fahme was great with explaining everything and keeping us safe. Went into the free pyramids instead of paying which was good, went and saw the syphinx and some markets. We went to lunch after this 12pm which was a huge buffet, food was nice however very quick to get us in and out. Great views of the pyramids from the roof top of the restaurant. We originally didn’t pay extra for the new museum, and the rest of the tour did, so we happily upgraded and we are so glad we did, we went within the first 2 weeks of opening and it was incredible! We spent a few hours from 2pm here before then going to an Egyptian oils and perfumery shop 5:30pm which was good, tried some out and let us have a hands on experience smelling them all and then went to a Egyptian painting place but none of us were too interested with this. We spent some time traveling to the Nile and went on a boat ride here 6pm, it was getting late and we were all very tired by this point, it was more of a bucket list to tick off than a memorable experience on the boat ride. Stopped many times on the tour for toilet breaks and had plenty of cold bottles of water to give us, fahme was kind making sure we were all okay and hydrated as it was so hot! We ended up stopping at McDonald’s on the way back to the airport for dinner before being dropped off for our flight at 10pm. Minibus transferred us back from the airport to the hotel with no problems, managed to get in around midnight so the day was around 21 hours, very long day but one to absolutely remember! Thank you Fahme for being so kind and such an amazing tour guide, even en route to places he would make the driver stop to show us all the historical buildings and meanings behind them all. Was super knowledgable and managed to keep us all safe, as the area definitely wasn’t the safest at times! I would definitely recommend!

Amazing
We had an amazing day touring the great pyramids of Giza and visiting the GEM! Our guide, Hussain, was so friendly and knowledgeable and was a great asset to have as we made our way around Cairo. He had amazing knowledge about the city, ancient Egypt, and helped us see the best spots and avoid scams. Our driver, Muhammad was a safe driver who made navigating the busy Cairo streets look easy. We felt safe the whole day and had a lot of fun.

Cairo Pyramids, Sphinx, GEM
A very knowledgeable guide .But too much info with dates repeated too often . Unnecessary perfume stop which led to a very late lunch . One hour of our 2 hour stop at GEM taken up by guide repeating himself especially where we were to meet upon leaving .
Lunch was good
We went the long way back to the airport . Guide was dropped off enroute at home . We were left with minimal time to check in for flight back to Sharm el Sheikh . Only hand luggage.
Pre sent Boarding Passes would be advisable . Left running to gate .

Achmed is the best tour guide!
It’s a long trip and early start but totally worth it. We aren’t sure if we’d come to Egypt again so wanted to make sure we had a trip to Cairo booked from Sharm El Sheikh. We chose to fly to make the journey easier and the whole day ran smoothly from the pick up to drop off. Achmed is very knowledgable, patient and you can tell he really does love his job.

Great trip
We started with a transfer to the airport where we caught a short flight to Cairo, pickup was on time. When in Cairo, we did a short cruise on the river Nile. We then visited the pyramids and sphinx. Our guide was helpful in taking photos to avoid having to deal with hasslers asking for money for photos. We then went for lunch which was a nice buffet. We then visited the Grand Egyptian Museum in which our guide was very knowledgeable. Overall would recommend this trip.

Day trip to Cairo with flight from SES
It was a very nice experience to visit the Great pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum in one day, with a very comfortable bus and a small group of 10 people.
A wonderful day full of incredible moments and unforgettable memories.

Wonderful Day amazing guide Sam
Wow what an amazing day picked up from our hotel dead on time and taken to the airport, make sure you purchase your visa before you go as you will be charged more, fly was good plane a bit old but got us there, when landed the other side meet by our guide Sam, this guy had so much knowledge and he made sure we saw everything I could not fault him, such a nice man who looked after us thoroughly. Lunch was nice then we paid £15 for a boat trip down the Nile to finish our day and a day I will never forget, Sam Thank you so much xx
