What people love about Egypt Tours for Young Adults
Highly recommend this tour! Egypt is incredible, the sites are unreal and our CEO Hashim made the experience even more enjoyable with his stories and passion for Egyptian history. DO NOT pay for transfers from and to the hotel however. I was charged £60 each way. The cost of an Uber from Pharoahs hotel to the airport is less than £10 each way. Save yourself £100 and get an Uber.
Egypt: Boats & Bazaars
- Essential Egypt
Coudnt have had a better time. Seeing all the Highlights of Egypt, dun activities like Kayaking and Sailing the nile. Such a great group. Mina Was the best group leader imaginable. Very impressed by Egyptian history and culture. Clear recommendation.
This tour is a must... Of course I would say it though because I'm Egypt obsessed. But having been on this tour twice, I would definitely recommend it for someone who would like to learn a bit about Egypt and see all the places you always catch a glimpse of on tv or social media. Just remember to drinks LOTS of water.
