      Disappointing tour by Koki Travel
      This experience did not meet my expectations unfortunately. The tour started when I was met at my hotel by my guide and driver in a car which was in sad shape. It was old, small and cramped. The seat covers were peeling off the back seat and one of the seat belts was broken. It seemed as though this car was never intended to transport people in the back seat and certainly not for a 6 hour RT trip from Cairo. My guide was a young man who was very personable but lacked any specific knowledge of El Alamein and freely admitted this. He functioned more like an escort than real tour guide. The El Alamein Military Museum was excellent and well worth the visit. But I learned more from the exhibits than I did from my escort. At the Commonwealth Cemetery, my escort/guide assured me that German and Italian dead were also buried there. This was false and never more apparent than when we drove up to the German cemetery located a few miles to the west. I would recommend making the trip to El Alamein but I would avoid any tours offered by Koki Travel.

      Nice trip and atmosphere
      It’s a nice trip and atmosphere. Also the show is nice with alternation of singers and belly dance. The food is just ok, but you go for some fun and a different view of Cairo from River Nile. Price between 50/60$

      The whirling dervish was awesome and unexpected !
      The whirling dervish was awesome and unexpected ! Bring cash for drinks. Food at the buffet is fine, satisfying. Good for a party crowd- drinks, excitement and dancing ! Thanks to Basem for getting us there, getting us a table center stage, and getting us home safely!

      It was nice, probably wouldn’t do it again
      The positives: It was a beautiful night. Winds in Egypt can be brutal so the calm water made it a beautiful evening. The wait staff are attentive and friendly. The drinks were strong and good. The main course was delicious. The male dancer was entertaining and came to every table. The cons: the music is extremely loud. The salad buffet was nothing special. The belly dancer only interacted with two people so if you were not placed at the main tables you couldn’t really see her. The male dancer was looking for gratuities. The ride is literally one hour and 49 minutes.

      Awesome tour!
      This is an experience you can't miss if you're in Cairo with limited time. The service by the agency was amazing, answering messages when questions were asked and supplying plane tickets and on time pick-ups. Our guide, Omnia, is a young, knowledgable and fun person. She went out of her way to give us information about her culture and way of life. Thanks Omnia we already miss you!

      More user-friendly than the old Egyptian Museum
      If you have to choose between this new museum and the old Egyptian Museum, choose this one. It is much more clearly organized and easier to digest in one visit. The mummies of the pharaohs are downstairs, organized chronologically. There are good descriptions in English (but no photos allowed). Upstairs is also organized chronologically and has artifacts like an ancient chariot and a 35,000 year old skeleton. Our only issue was that a lot of artifacts had no labels or descriptions. Photos are allowed upstairs.

      We had an excellent experience with a 5days/4nights Nile Cruise in January 2020. The cruise was organized by Nabila of Memphis Tours. She was vey helpful, professional and very understaning to our needs. I strongly recommend you to have Nabila of Memphis tours to orrganize you future tours in Egypt. Dr. M. Mobarak

      Great Experience
      It was an exciting day with the tour guide. Housan is a very knowledgeable guide. The tour was value for money. Except if you can avoid visiting shops which are recommended by the tour guide, it saves you time to explore more things in Cairo. Otherwise, lunch was great in Sakara.

      Alexandria with Rania!
      We took a private tour with Rania and driver Imon (SP?) We had a wonderful experience with Rania. She made us feel very comfortable on the long drive to Alexandria. Once we arrived in Alexandria, she took us to the Catacombs, Pompeii's Pillar, The Citaldel, and the library. Her knowledge was impressive, but she didn't overwhelm us with information. We felt like we were spending the day with an old friend. I HIGHLY recommend this tour and encourage requesting Rania as your guide.

      Unforgettable Tour package!!!
      My family & I booked this amazing private tour! Achmed & his driver picked us up from our hotel in Giza to Cairo airport. Flew from Cairo to Aswan. ASWAN: Abu Simbel, High Dam, Philae temple & Unfinished Obelisk! Unbelievable tour with smart & funny egyptologist Basma!!! She brought us to this mall by the Nile (where Totoland is), and ate at a Syrian restaurant (A5) with yummy food! We loved the food that we had to “take out” one & brought it to the hotel. Overnight at the awesome Basma Hotel with nice view! It was a hot day but unbelievable experience! We had 3 coolest drivers (3 Mohamads! Yup, same names! LOL!) Best drivers in Aswan! The van flew to Abu Simbel, 3 hours of driving, nothing but desert! LOL! Abu Simbel is unbelievably beautiful & quiet! Philae temple is awesome too! It felt like we’re royalty because we’re the only ones there! Awesome!!! The Sound & Light show at Philae temple was cancelled due to very limited people. It’s okay because we watched the magnificent Sound & Light at the Great Pyramids the day before anyway. LUXOR: Full day to the East & West Bank in Luxor with smart Egyptologist Fawakeh & cool driver Mohamad! We went to Colossi of Memnon, Valley of the Kings, tomb of king Tut (extra fee of $7 each), temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Then, to Karnak & Luxor temple. We went to an Alabaster store wherein they showed us how they make Alabaster vases, jars, etc & even invited us during the process of making one. Awesome! We went to El Husien restaurant! Great food! Then, from Luxor, flew back to Cairo airport where Achmed & his driver were waiting & dropped us off back to our hotel in Giza. If you wanna experience & learn 5,000 BC stuff (advanced civilization & longest superpower era in the history of the world) and experience like royalty, you gotta go to Egypt! Book this tour from Emo Tours! Our Egypt tour was the best travel experience we ever have!!! Egypt is safe & Egyptian people are one of the friendliest peoples on the planet!

      Amazing tour
      I have Mo Salah as my guide, and Mohammed Yamer as my driver. Mo is the best guide I ever have (I travel frequently). Mo not shows me the usual sites, but also the sites that other guides do not show. He is not only knowledgeable about the history of the sites but also humourous. He always asks what I want to do. No selling pressure at all. He went the extra mile to buy fruits for me at his own expanse. I highly recommend him.

    We had a wonderful tour with the very skilled Mohammed. We went to the pyramids, the sphinx and the sorrounding area. We can highly recommend this tour and don’t forget to ask for Mohammed as your tourguide.
