          Ancient Egypt in Luxor
          The Luxor tour was great. The guide named Abdullah was a perfect person with his smiling face, help and experience with knowledge of history. He arranged the time very well depending on crowded. So we visited all the important points without hassles. The lunch was buffet. We liked the tour and had a great pleasure. Thank you very much for the support of Sameh who is guest representative and the guide Abdullah.

          Perfect day!
          We had a well organised trip where everything worked out as described. Very friendly communication and an excellent driver. Both monasteries are worth the visit. We were guided by monks who were very friendly and gave us many insights. Highly recommended!

          Exciting trip to Dendera and Abydos
          Me and my wife have had very exciting trip to Dendera and Abydos. Despite the long journey from Hurghada we can say that it was absolutely worth it. We had a comfortable car with AC, small fridge with soft drinks and water, traditional Egyptian lunch was included as well in the price. Our guider was very kind to us with extensive Egyptian history knowledge. We will definitely return to Egypt and will definitely use the services of EGYPT TRAVEL GUIDE.

          A positive end result
          The Quad adventure itself was great but the pick up at our hotel was terrible. I received an email changing our pickup from 10:00 to 9:00. Waited in the lobby until 9:45. Hotel could not get a phone call answered. Later the hotel in formed the pickup was changed to 10:00. Waited until 10:45 and no pickup. Confirmed a new pickup at 11:05- finally happened at 11:5. Very Frustrating. But the quad excursion itself was very good

          Very informative
          Very informative, we went to the old town first and then to the vegetable market then the new town. Just shows how people live, the towns come alive at night rather than the day. We then went to the biggest mosque in Hurgada.

          We've had the best time diving! The crew is absolutely lovely. We felt like family and had so much fun. They are all very kind people with an genuine interest in making everybody happy. The lunch tastes amazing every day! The dives were unforgettable and we saw turtles, dolfins, and even a whale shark. Highly recommend diving with them!

          A wonderful day
          Good afternoon. Very interesting visit to the Monasteries of San Antonio and San Pablo, thanks to the attention and kindness of the monks who received us and served as our guide. The driver stood out for his professionalism, kindness and discretion that made the journey go smoothly and make it a wonderful day, of which we have wonderful memories.

          Great Day Out
          Amazing experience driving quad through the Sahara Desert. The drive to Bedouin Village was the worse BUT most fun drive due to the speed & bumps in the desert. Food was good and folk dance show was fun and interactive and belly dancing was an eye opener

        Boat and snorkeling trip to Orange Bay. We had 2 snorkeling stops . At least 10 boats in the same location with 30 people per boat. Far to many in the area. Then we were headed of to orange Ireland. We were herded off the boat to what could only be described as a holding pen. Dirty bean bags in a small area. Each boat had their own Isle. There were at least 30 boats an hour and fortunately you only got to spend an hour on the island. This is not a suitable trip for disabled travellers. There is nothing to see on the island. Don't waste your money on this excursion. The facilities on the island are also very expensive. £8 for a beer of £20 for a pizza.

        Thank you for your review, which is not directed to our company business, but to the place itself. Orange Bay is favourite place to many returning customer. The others recommend the Paradise Island, which we can offer as well. May you find the tranquility of Red Sea holidays next time there...?

        The only positive point of this excursion is the color of the water, a magnificent shade of blue.
        The negative points :
        - the stops for snorkeling are a real tourist factory, the boats are lined up and you have to follow the boat staff to swim.... the seabed is very poor in fish for the 2 stops that we made. We had a coral reef outside our hotel that had a lot more fish
        _ Orange Bay what can I say.... you are parked in rows of beach mattresses, 2 rows per boat
        - The coke is 4 euros, the small bottle of water is 3 euros and the fruit cocktail is 18 euros

        All is said ...

        Hello and thank you for finding the time to review the Orange Bay tour. The place is undoubtly beautiful and attracts many visitors on boats, every boat has capacity with maximum of 30 people onboard. High prices on the island are expected as on every place located in the middle of the water, so we offer everything for customers on the boat - soft drinks and meal, included in tour price. Despite your experience we hope you enjoyed the beauty of nature and the cruise itself.

        Amazing place, read before like Maldives of Egypt and very true, clear blue water and amazing surroundings.
        Very pricy on island and cash only, don't take card. 3euro for 1 scoop off ice cream and 8euro for a beer but worth it for views and beach.

        Orange bay/ giftun island (paradise island is also on giftun island) is an amazing place, an absolute must if visiting hurghada/ Egypt. White sand, blue crystal clear ocean. It gets very hot on the island, we were using factor 20 at the hotel, but needed 30 on orange bay. A few spots to take good picture such as the swings, the hammocks, and the tables. Very good for instagram pictures, as they do make a good shot, especially if visiting with your partner/ spouse....

        Side note/ minor con, make sure you take mosquito bands and insect spray/ repellent as they can get a bit much...

        All in all thought, I would recommend Orange bay to anyone visiting Egypt and would 100% visit again.

        I've just returned from a amazing holiday in Egypt & I did a couple of the excursions one of them being Orange Bay.
        It was absolutely gorgeous!!! Like paradise 😍 The sand was beautiful & the water was crystal clear.
        You could literally walk all the way to the reef.
        I've been to Egypt twice now but this was the first time I'd been here & I will definitely be going again.
        There's huge like beanbags to sit/lay on in the shade. There's a bar to buy drinks from whatever you prefer, pop, alcohol etc. Perfect for sitting & watching the gorgeous sea with.
        I would definitely recommend going on a trip here when your in Egypt. You will love it. ❤
