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.

Sitting on their rooftop, we watched the sunset over the river and listened to their stories,

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.

A Feeling of Complete Security and Comfort

Our family's trip to Egypt was a dream. The Pyramids amazed us all, and cruising the Nile was pure magic. Our guide made history exciting for the kids! A perfect family adventure. Highly recommend Memphis Tours.

An Unforgettable Journey Through Ancient Egypt!

I was a bit nervous about the height, but once we were up there, all my fear was gone. It was so quiet and tranquil.

Simply Magical

Our group of friends chose this tour, and it was a phenomenal experience. The guides were charismatic and funny, making the days of sightseeing feel like a fun outing rather than a history lesson. We especially enjoyed the horse-and-carriage ride at Edfu, which was a fun and memorable part of the trip. The cruise ship offered a great space for us to relax and socialize in the evenings.
