I booked a private one-day tour from Hurghada to Cairo, which included all the main attractions such as the Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Step Pyramid of Saqqara, the Serapeum, and the new GEM Museum. My guide, Amr Moses, and my driver, Mohamed Ismael, were absolutely 5/5. Their expertise and professionalism were outstanding, and everything went perfectly. I can wholeheartedly recommend Marsa Alam Tours, as well as both Amr and Mohamed ❤️❤️❤️. We had lunch at an excellent restaurant near the Saqqara Pyramid area. Even though I was traveling alone, I felt very safe in their company. Everything ran on schedule, and I could even adjust the itinerary on the go. I particularly appreciated having a private bus with a dedicated driver and a personal guide who was always available to answer my questions.

Seeing the desert of Wadi el Gemal NP was one of the reasons to go to Marsa Alam for a short holiday. We booked the full day excursion with a private guide and were lucky to get Hamada as our guide. He appeared to be a great driver and a walking Encyclopedia of the area. But he is also a very nice man and good company for the day. We started on the sea side with some snorkeling and saw the mangrove trees. Drank some tea with bedoein friends and had a nice lunch before we headed into the desert. We drove through several valleys, saw the accacia trees, giant rock formations and groups of wild camels and donkeys living in the desert . Having bedoein ancesters, Hamada told uss all about (wild)life in the desert. At the end of the afternoon we drove to a deserted ancient Roman village, marked with a temple in the rocks. There I had a remarkable experience when 2 curious camels came towards me and walked beside me for a while before running away! The day ended with a bbq under a marvellous sky full of stars that make you feel very tiny in the giant universe. After a long drive back to the 'civilisation' we returned to our hotel and said goodbye to our new friend Hamada!

We had 3 days tour to White Desert, Black Desert and Wadi Hitan, and Fayum oasis. White Desert was the most important part for us, that is why we decide for tour with overnight there. And here was a problem. I understand that Marsa Alam Tours is using subcontractors, and they do not have full visibility, how it is handled there. And subcontractor in White Desert was not the best one (including lack of English skills, and couple of other issues). But the real problem was that they changed totally schedule, started later, and decided to finish 2 days trip for White Desert in one day. Not informing us, just doing that. There was ban for camping in White Desert (which I understand), but they decided to shrink everything to one day... So it was very Instagram tour – take a picture, and go to next place, as we do not have time. Fortunately for us, we asked Marsa Alam Tours for help, and Mr Ahmed escalated it. Thanks to him, we were able to go back to White Desert for sun rise, which was magnificent. However those guys, cut our time for Black Desert and other points, including optional tours. We were considering see Alexander’s Temple, but they did not ask for it, just sent us to next place – Fayum. According to the plan, we should be there for evening, we were in mid day. I do not have anything against Fayum oasis, but it was only additional part for us, it was never the plan. I’m not the target. It is nice place, but I wanted to explore Black and White Deserts. On oasis, Mr Sobhi contacted again Mr Ahmed, and they provided us guide for Wadi Hitan, Mr Ali. Generally, everything after White Desert was very good organized, and Mr Ali was very helpful, and was try to fix bad impressions that we had. And Wadi Hitan meet our expectation, so we had wonderful day. But being totally honest, I can’t recommend this trip, with that subcontractor, that they have. If the trip in that shape, as we finally had, would be two days, so from sunrise on white desert we would head directly to Wadi Hitan, and then I would be very pleased. But with this one day, I’m not (as I have to remove couple of things in Egypt from my list to see).

We were pretty happy with this tour. There was some minor issues related to timing on the first days. We had some doubts on it, but once Mr Ali, who was our guide in Kom Ombo and Asuan, joined us, everything was fixed. He is not only good guide, but as well good organizer. And he was able to push driver and other guys, so we were able to see everything. And for us, this tour was one of the most important part in this Egypt tour. And we were really very happy, how finally it was handled. Especially that we have some time on Dam, to see it from top of monument (which was not in original plan). I really recommend this tour.

We have a one day tour to Alexandria from Cairo. And our guide was Ms Malak. And this was pretty amazing experience. Tour was very well organized, and our guide has astonish knowledge on Alexandria. She was able to show as a lot of interesting places, and she was not pushing on time. We have all the time we need, and we could explore some places, even if that was not on normal schedule. Everything was very excellent, I recommend quality of service. Nothing to complain.

Siwa tour has been truly one of the best experiences done in Egypt, and I recommend it to all that has a discovering spirit. It’s a real hidden gem, you can have peaceful moments while in Siwa, surrender by the incredible nature. The lake, the fortress, the salty lakes, the hot springs and the desert adventure with 4x4 cars. Everything was just perfect thanks to our amazing guide Khaled! I couldn’t ask for better!

Marsa Alam Tours booked our 7 days in Egypt and 5 in Jordan tour. We did Cairo, 3-day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, and overnight at Bahariya Oasis. They booked our domestic flights, our flight from Cairo to Amman and hotels. It was a personalized custom tour for our family and it was flawless. From the airport pickup to drop-off, everything was well taken care of. The drivers & guides every day were friendly, informative and helpful. Wael Ewada who booked our package stayed in touch with me throughout the trip to make sure things went well. Their airport rep Wael Aziz helped us with delayed baggage and with my daughter who was coming 2 days later. Would highly recommend them.

No explanation of the tour in details before coming to Egypt Nobody answers on the phone to explain From Hurgada to Luxor transportation disaster, took 6 hours instead of 4, driver did not have document, every border he had to convince police Nile cruise with Kelos was good, we were 26 people in total, empty boat People on board tried to make the possible, they were pushy on tips but it is ok First guide to Luxor was good even if spoke a lot of time on the phone Second girl in Esna and Edfu was really good despite she had difficulties to move so we were quite slow compared to rest, but she was great Third guide in Abu Simbel was very good prepared but expressed, in 15 minutes explained everything than guide are not supposed to enter in temple Last guide in Nubien village, very bad; we payed 40 euros each, but basically was nothing to see; 15-20 euro each is reasonable touristic price for the boat trip Transportation from Aswan to Abu Simbel and back was disaster; super small car with huge person in it, travel for 6 hours with stop 1 hour in Abu Simbel, is not worth. It was already in our package so we decided to go; but really it is a nice location the temple but perhaps better you spend 2-3 hours to relax from 3 hours drive. The car was also full of plastic to cover seats very uncomfortable. Driver no speak English. Next day we had 8 hours trip from Aswan to hurgada. We asked different car, bigger; however we got the same driver! Crazy. We complained but nothing, we had to go back. Driver very unpolite, he stops when he wants for how long he wants. At the end he wants also tip, crazy! I chose this agency because had a bit of competitive price compared to other tours; maybe to save 200-300 euros per person. If I go back I will pay extra money to have a better quality service. With explanation of how long will be driving by car and then perhaps I will negotiate more on the visits to see. But again, nobody answers to phone so difficult to negotiate.

Driver Ahmed was fantastic, optimised the tour for minimum queuing. Personally I would have skipped the alabaster show.

Guide we had is of little use. He just left us to figure out things by ourselves. Lunch promised was Nile view but the restaurants we were taken were hopeless and never had Nile view. The program agreed upon didn’t get to the guide and so he was trying to avoid showing the places unless we showed him what was in the program. Our pick up at the hotel was delayed by 45 minutes and we were wondering if we would catch the flight? Lucky we got the flight though. Smoking in the vehicle, talking on the cell phone while driving made us more uncomfortable. We didn’t enjoy a full experience. Hotel though was 4 star- their only feedback on anything was nothing other than NO. No lotion in the room, swimming pool closes at 5pm, concierge ripping you on the taxi rides, internet connection bad. The change of drivers and so we have to tip each driver, 3% additional charge than quoted if we use credit card, not mentioned anywhere. Good part was hotel breakfast and at least we could get a glimpse of the places in the program. Overall could be better!!

We really enjoyed this tour. Ahmed was a great guide who had a lot of knowledge to share while also letting us walk and discover each of the monuments. Additionally the local lunch was amazing. We would definitely recommend doing 2 days instead of 1 if you can, but we got the opportunity to make the most out of this day thanks to the tour !

This was a private tour for myself and two children 16&12 yrs The pick up was an early start from our hotel in Marsa Alam. We had 2 drivers taking turns as it is a long day. They were both excellent and friendly. (Mohamed & Hamza) We met out Tour guide in Luxor. (Kahlil ) He was also really friendly and informative. I can’t believe how much we were able to see in one day but the organisation was seamless. We started on the East bank of the Nile. Then had a short boat ride across the Nile with lovely views (optional extra) . Kahlil organised a restaurant for lunch with stunning views. The food was delicious and authentic local cuisine. We then explored the west side of the Nile. The tour included all the famous sites, temples, valley of the Kings and tombs. We were then driven back to our hotel in Marsa Alam in time for dinner. Definitely recommend this amazing trip giving an insight into the fascinating Egyptian history. I also recommend Egypt Tour Packages & Marsa Alam Tours - Cairo 1 day trip with flights . Again a very long but worthwhile trip

We had an amazing ten days being guided by private guides through the most important modern and ancient sites. Everything was perfectly organized by Wael Ewada from Marsa Alam Tours, who was available for us 24/7 by WhatsApp for all our questions and wishes. We flew from Hurghada to Cairo and spent 4 days there visiting the pyramids, museums, old and new parts of Cairo. Then we flew to Aswan, visiting the dam and the Philae temple. The the cruis to Luxor, where we spent another 4 days visiting the ancient sites. The back to Hurghada for snorkeling and relaxing. The only rather average point was the 3 day Nile river cruise from Aswan to Luxor on one of those big river boats. There is constant noise from the engine or the generator, and the bad smell of Diesel oil and its exhaust. The visits to the sites are either early in the mornig or late evening. We later talked to another couple who chose to do the Nile river cruise on a dahabya boat. They highly recommended that. We paid a 40% deposit and then the rest upon arrival in Cairo. I was rather worried about paying up front, but Wael Ewada reassured me and he made sure that everything we agreed upon was fulfilled. I guess the price we paid was fair for what we got. We were very satisfied by all the guides and drivers he organized for us. It is important to generously tip the guides and drivers to show your appreciation, since they very much depend on it. For a couple between 20 to 30 USD per day for your private guide and between 10 to 15 USD for your private driver.

We did a 4 hours private trip to the pyramides of Giza, from Cairo, as a family of 5. We were very satisfied with our guide, she was nice and flexible and could answer all our questions. The driver and the car took us safely through the crazy Cairo traffic.

Our private day tour to the Giza Pyramids with Marsa Alam Tours was PHENOMENAL. I was skeptical about scheduling online at the last minute, but we had absolutely no regrets. Ahmed Khalil was detailed in his online correspondence & scheduling of everything for us; including the private shuttle ride pick up (by) from our hotel. The price for me & my husband was far more reasonable than I had expected. The price was far better & offered much more than the cost we were offered by the hotel we stayed at (who shall remain nameless). Our driver Mohammad was friendly & an awesome driver. He provided/shared so much amazing & fascinating insight about Cairo & the local culture; during our travel to & from which only added to the enjoyment of our visit. Then there was our tour guide Adam; who I highly recommend requesting for this Giza tour. His deep knowledge of the pyramids & the area made our experience truly unforgettable. Adam was professional, ensuring we were well- informed & felt engaged. We were never rushed & gave us time to venture off on our own. Mohammad (our driver) even offered to explore more of Cairo with us, but time was not on our side as we were scheduled to leave at midnight. Ahmed, Mohammad, & Adam were incredibly accommodating to our needs (honestly exceeding them). I could go on, but I'm going to end with this note: 10-star rating for tour & service; We will book with them when we return!!!
