What people are saying about Cairo Region

Picked-up from the resort, dropped-off at the resort by taxi. Our tour guide Sarwat was waiting for us in Cairo, 12 people in a big air conditioned van. Sarwat is very knowledgeable and funny too. We were surprised with some absolutely delicious falafels from breakfast, the best I’ve ever had. Bottles of water included too. We stopped at an oil/perfum shop, but as I suffer from migraine I stayed in the van with the driver. We paid €10 extra for a boat ride which was nice. Egyptian Museum amazing, Pyramids amazing and plenty of time, to go to the place to take pictures with all the 9 pyramids in view we went on camels, a great choice, they are just very tall! You could choose to go by horse and carriage, that was 250EP per person, but totally worth it. The camel guy takes lots of amazing pictures for you in funny poses, he will probably call you Shakira or Rambo! We could have gone to a papyrus shop, but we were all tired and preferred to go to the airport. Super recommend this trip!

Amazing experience!From cleanliness to hospitality of the crew, I have nothing to say but praises. Arrival day, we were welcomed with hibiscus tea drink and were oriented around the area. Receiving guests/living room area made us relaxed and at eased from a long flight. The living room area is decoratively beautiful. Windows has nice curtains, furnitures are clean and fairly well maintained. We were very much comfortable in our bedroom. Bed linens and towels were fresh and beautifully arranged.I have no complains about our bathroom because everything was provided. Clean bathroom was a plus!Food was outstanding! Hot dishes and delicious. Seemed like were prepared with passion. The presentation of buffet was magnificent. My favorite were the salad bar and desert bar. There were so many options to choose from. I suggest a wifi hotspot in your room. Wifi in only available outside the rooms. Learned the real facts of ancient history while having fun. I highly recommend this tour!

The Nike cruise was well organised, we were picked up and transferred to Aswan from Cairo and back on a timely manner and the monuments where an experience of a lifetime. Food wasn't that great but overall you get value for money spent.

This trip was a dream come true and thank you guys for the end to end support on this tour. The whole team did an awesome job especially our assigned tour guide (Mohamed Abdel Kader).
