This 5-day tour was the ideal way to see Cairo and Luxor without feeling rushed. From the moment we were greeted at the airport, everything ran smoothly — transfers, flights, and hotel check-ins were flawless. The expert Egyptologist guides made the history come alive at the Pyramids, Sphinx and in the Valley of the Kings. I especially loved exploring Karnak Temple and hearing stories abo

Amazing Highlights With Excellent Guides

What impressed me most was how seamless everything was — especially the domestic flight from Cairo to Luxor and back.

Smooth, Enjoyable and Good Value

Our tour was well organised from start to finish. The drive out to Bahariya Oasis gave us a real sense of Egypt’s landscape beyond the cities. Visiting the Golden Mummies tombs and the English House was fascinating, and the Black Desert’s volcanic hills were impressive. The White Desert was truly spectacular at sunset. The accommodation varied but was comfortable, and meals were goo

This trip balanced iconic sites with authentic desert adventures. The Pyramids and GEM were amazing, but the desert journey from Bahariya to the White Desert was the highlight for us. It felt off-the-beaten-path yet safe and well-supported. Our guides were friendly and professional, always ensuring we were comfortable. The camping experience in the White Desert was unique and something we&rsquo

Memphis Tours Did a Fantastic Job

Our trip to Egypt was truly special. While every ancient site was breathtaking, the most memorable moment came during our Nile cruise. Our guide, Ahmed, saw our genuine curiosity about local life. He arranged for us to take a small boat to a remote village, where we shared mint tea with a local family. Sitting on their rooftop, we watched the sunset over the river and listened to their stories,

The True Heart of Egypt

This was one of the most memorable trips I’ve taken. The itinerary covered so much — from the Pyramids to remote desert landscapes. The overnight camp in the White Desert was definitely a highlight, and the food during the tour was better than expected. Transportation was smooth, and the guide was excellent at keeping us on schedule while still enjoying each stop. Highly recommended

A Fantastic Journey with Unexpected Costs

I was worried about the long drive, but the private vehicle was so comfortable and our guide was an absolute expert. He made the time fly by with incredible stories and details about the sites. Seeing the Valley of the Kings in person was a spiritual experience.

A Day That Felt Like a Week

I have always wanted to do a hot air balloon ride, and Luxor was the perfect place. The team was so organized from the hotel pick-up to the smooth landing. The flight itself was so peaceful, and the view of the Nile and the fertile lands was beautiful. A must-do.
