Superbe journée
Journée superbe. Organisation au top. Guide et chauffeur excellent. Nous garderons un souvenir inoubliable de cette excursion. Je recommande de le faire les yeux fermés.

Ontdek het grootste museum voor oude Egyptische kunst en zijn schatten uit het rijke verleden van Egypte, zoals de hoogwaardige grafgiften. Tijdens een bezoek van ongeveer twee uur vertelt onze gids op humoristische wijze over de belangrijkste tentoonstellingen en beantwoordt hij uw vragen. Bewonder het laatste overgebleven wereldwonder - een werkelijk legendarische ervaring! In totaal vindt u hier drie piramides: de piramide van Chephren, de piramide van Cheops en de piramide van Menkerinos. U kunt de omgeving te voet, te paard of op een kameel verkennen. Na een bezoek aan de piramides van Gizeh gaan we naar de Sfinx, veruit de grootste en best bewaarde sfinx. Het bestaat uit een mensenhoofd op het lichaam van een leeuw. De Sfinx werd uitgehouwen uit de resten van een kalksteenheuvel die diende als steengroeve voor de Grote Piramide van Gizeh. Feluccatocht op de Nijl. In overleg met de reisgroep en tegen betaling beschikbaar.
U wordt rond 4.00 uur opgehaald bij uw hotel. Bij aankomst in Caïro wordt u ontvangen door uw gids, die u gedurende de hele tour zal begeleiden. Ontmoet uw Egyptologische gids bij het museum en begin uw dag. Bezoek het hypermoderne Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), het grootste archeologische museum ter wereld met meer dan 100.000 artefacten, of het Ancient Egyptian Museum op het Tahrirplein. Selecteer uw voorkeursmuseum tijdens het boekingsproces. Geniet daarna van uw lunch. De excursie gaat verder naar de grote piramides van Cheops, Chefren en Mykerinus. De piramidetour eindigt bij de Sfinx en de tempel die zich in de buurt bevindt. Als de tijd het toelaat, kunt u aan het eind van de dag nog de bazaar in Caïro bezoeken voordat u terugkeert naar Sharm el Sheikh. Bij aankomst op de luchthaven wordt u in een voertuig met airconditioning naar uw hotel gebracht.
Als de terugvlucht vanuit Caïro laat in de avond is, kunnen we nog wat tijd besteden aan een bezoek aan het middeleeuwse Londen (Khan el Klalili-markt), Oud-Caïro, dat onlangs is toegevoegd aan de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO, of Cairo Festival City, een extra groot (met airconditioning) winkelcentrum, een van de grootste in het Midden-Oosten. Vol met de meest bekende internationale merken, restaurants, cafés en een enorme kleurrijke dansende fontein, waar u wordt aangetrokken door het chique, moderne nachtleven van Caïro.
Als we tijd hebben, kunnen we twee karakteristieke bezoeken brengen aan het Papyrusmuseum en de fabriek voor etherische oliën. Tijdens deze twee bezienswaardigheden maakt u kennis met de oude Egyptische technieken voor het maken van papyrus en essences. Deze twee interessante bezoeken vergroten uw kennis over het dagelijks leven in het oude Egypte en zijn ook nuttig voor de Egyptische boeren die in deze sectoren werken en deze zeer oude ambachten uit het oude Egypte bewaren. (Deze bezoeken zijn afhankelijk van de resterende tijd.)

Esperienza molto valida, la nostra guida Ahmed (Benedetto) molto preparato e molto gentile, attento anche a noi prima di andare alle piramidi ci ha messo in guardia dalle truffe dei venditori. Ci siamo trovati molto bene con lo staff. Grazie mille di averci fatto vivere un sogno

We did this experience this week and what a fantastic day it was. Our tour guide Mario was amazing, so knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming, we could not have asked for a better host. He was so passionate about Egyptology, he really made the day for us. The tour was just with Mario, his driver and us in the car, it was very personable. We started our day by having a drive through the chaotic streets of Cairo, we then went on the boat trip. Mario managed to get us on a private boat so it was just us him and the driver, the boat was huge and it was a good duration. We then went to the main museum, before heading to another place that showed us how to make the papyrus. Lunch time next which was lovely. Then to the pyramids/sphinx and camel/horse ride. Mario then took us to the perfume museum and then went sat on the top floor which had good views of the pyramids. The only issue we encountered was in Sharm airport on the way to Cairo. You MUST buy your visa when you arrive in Sharm. We tried but there was nobody at the desk, we didn’t wait. When we tried to buy them on the day, the staff told us that they would not sell us the visa without a tour guide, however the tour guide wasn’t meeting us until Cairo. We had to find another guide who sorted it for us, for an extra £5 each of course. All in all a great day, we were skeptical being lone females and a 12 year old. However, Mario and his driver made us at ease straight away. All in all it exceeded all of our expectations and was a fantastic day. We were worried about long waits around from reading some of the other reviews however we had the opposite experience. It ran very smoothly, there was no waiting around and when we had done everything Mario asked if there was anything else we would like to do and then offered us the terrace with views of the pyramids. This was one of the highlights of our day. We would definitely book this again and we’d happily book Mario and his driver again too. If you’re skeptical, our advice would be to definitely book and go. It was amazing.

This is an excellent trip and well worth the day travelling from Sharm-el-Sheikh. We booked direct with Book Tour Egypt who managed all the arrangements and made booking, flight arrangements and payment very easy. As mentioned by all previous travellers, the is a long day but there's lots to pack in and the time goes quickly. You will receive your flight times and the schedule typically the day before the trip, via WhatsApp, and collect your flight boarding cards at the airport. We were picked up just after 3am followed by a few other stops to collect passengers at other hotels (around 10 people total) for a 5.40 flight to Cairo with Egyptair. If you haven’t already purchased a visa then you will need one before you fly although I would recommend getting one before hand on-line via the e-Visa online portal (link from the UK Gov Travel Advice Website) Be prepared for a lot of chaos at Sherm-El-Sheihk airport as you have to pass through several security scans/searches, with separate lines for men and women. This takes a little time but once through you should head to the airline checking desk to get your boarding pass - the flight itself is 45 minutes and very straightforward. At Cairo airport we were met buy Ahmed (our guide) and Mohammed (our driver). Both were excellent and very helpful. Ahmed is fantastic and has a great depth of knowledge on Egypt, Cairo and Egyptian History. We had a very quick stop on route to the Egyptian Museum for a coffee and toilet stop, followed by a short drive around some of the key sites in Cairo, before entering the museum which was excellent. Lots to see and Ahmed escorted us throughout, explaining and bringing to life many of the objects and artefacts. We spent a couple of hours in the museum before heading out towards Giza for lunch stop. Next stop after lunch was the Giza Plateau to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx where we spent a few hours walking around each of the main pyramids with plenty of time to explore them fully and grab photos etc. This was the highlight of the day for us and we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to. Some of the group decided to take the optional camel ride (about half the group) whilst the rest of us were driven by Mohammed to a sport higher cup the Plateau for other photo opportunities. Although there are many people offering camel/horse rides, Ahmed and Mohammed made sure we weren't hassled and we were pleasantly surprised how little we were disturbed. Following the Pyramids/Sphinx we were taken to the oils/essence experience. Here you are provided with a drink and shown many different types of essences and then given the opportunity to buy them. This wasn't a hard sell and some members of the group did purchase, but equally many didn't. By this point in the day it's late afternoon (5ish) and our next stop was the optional Nile Cruise, which all members of our group decided to do. This was a small additional charge and was a pleasant cruise of about 30 minutes but could have been longer but did allow you to see some of the central parts of Cairo from the water. Worth doing though so at least you can say you've been on the Nile. Finally we were driven the old town where Ahmed walked us through some of the old parts of Cairo and a chance to see the Bazaars, shops and narrow / busy streets. At the end of the day we stopped at Mc Donalds for a quick bite to eat, before being dropped back at the airport for the return flight at 20:50, arriving back at our hotel around 10:30pm. Despite the very early start, the whole day was very interesting and I'd fully recommend it. Make sure to order a breakfast box from your hotel to see you through the early part of the day, and bring spending money with you for any tips or the additional optional trips. It's possible to pay by credit card, Egyptian Pounds, Dollars, Euro's or GB Pounds! Like others have commented there are parts of the day that could be taken out but the core elements of the Pyramids and Egyptian Museum backup with excellent information from Ahmed make this day work really well. I'd fully recommend booking direct with Book Tour Egypt who were always available on the phone if needed to clarify any details, and who tried to accommodate our personal request for the early flight back (thank you Asmaa). Our group had both English and Italian speakers and Ahmed flipped between the two languages with ease, keeping everyone amused and interested with his boundless enthusiasm and energy.

A very early flight then met by our English speaking guide who said it would be a long day as we were so early and was sandbagging a bit while pretty much introducing us to all his family business interests so to speak on our jaunt around cairo. The pyramids were spectacular and the guide did so well shepherding us all about while keeping us safe from the countless scams and beggars. Lunch was tasty and substantial. You must do the nile trip at the end of the day just to say you've done it. A lovely end to a really good day! Biggest disappointment for me was the museum who are clearly gearing up for the new opening. Oh and yet again greeted by yet more beggars trying to sell toilet roll.. greeted by a very British F@#K off sunshine Would we do it again though.....more than likely

Il 6 marzo abbiamo fatto escursione a Il Cairo in aereo da Sharm con Book tour Egypt. L'esperienza è stata davvero molto positiva. Un'autista è venuto a prenderci alle 3 dal nostro resort per accompagnarci in aeroporto. Atterrati a Il Cairo abbiamo trovato la guida che ci ha accompagnati per tutta la giornata : Ahmed , lui è stato molto gentile e professionale, oltre a parlare un italiano perfetto. Abbiamo fatto un giro a piedi per la città vecchia, navigato sul Nilo con una barca nuova ed elegante, e visitato il museo egizio. Poi ci siamo fermati per il pranzo, e nel pomeriggio siamo stati a Giza, per la visita alle piramidi e alla Sfinge. Una giornata davvero piacevole e interessante con un'ottima guida e compagnia. Ho avuto esperienze negative con altre agenzie seppur conosciute e apprezzate. Diffidate dagli altri e affidatevi a Book Tour Egypt per le vostre escursioni.
