Good trip, but I would not book again or recommend them to anyone. The company will change its name, disappear soon, and start operating under a new name. The post is misleading to the point of fraud - no hot air balloon, no Nile cruise. Sunset activity turned into 1 night. They don't operate the tour - they subcontract to other companies that hire their own tour guides and bus drivers, book places, etc. 7 days was really 2.5 days of activities and the rest was logistics. You still paid for all the expensive things in Cairo, they only covered some cheap meals and cheap attractions. The 7-day tour was closer to: Day 1 - airport pickup Day 2 - guided tour - hotel breakfast, free buffet lunch (pay for your own drinks), 3 hours at the pyramids, 1 hour at the museum, and two "shopping destinations" - you pay for your own tickets, no dinner Day 3 - bus ride to Siwa & dinner Day 4 - see the three ruins sites in Siwa (cost less than $5 per person) & desert SUV ride, cold breakfast, decent lunch, decent dinner. Day 5 - half day - free swim in hot spring and salt lakes. Same lunch and same dinner. Day 6 - bus back to Cairo Day 7 - bus to airport. The place was less than $75 a night if you booked yourself, and for them to upgrade to a 5-star hotel - upcharge $150 a night per person - $3,000 for two people. So double the cost of the tour. Every time would have cost 40-50% less if you booked yourself. You're paying TourRadar to pay this company to pay another company to book everything and the tour guides. Do it yourself or find tours when you get there - it's cheaper.Show more

The whole trip was great! Kareem gave a great tour of the pyramids and the Sphinx in Giza. He knew so much about construction of the pyramids and the time periods. The real stars of the show, however, were Yuri and Goma, our tour guide and driver for Siwa. It was a fascinating drive down, with plenty of stops to stretch and grab a snack. Yuri told us so mych about the areas we passed through, but she really shone in Siwa! She introduced us to so many lively people, showed us such amazing sites, and gave us so much cultural history. She is passionate about the area and it shows. I have a bad knee and Goma was always there to lend an arm, give me a boost, and just help out in general. They made an excellent team. I hope I will be able to visit the area again!Show more

Very quick contact with the people onsite for organising the trip as a whole and the smaller details like pick ups and additional trips. Our spokesperson from Cairo Pass, Mahmoud, was always reachable and checked in on us. The cruise was excellent and the boat and crew just exceptionell. Through Cairo Pass we were able to choose a guide with our preferred language, german, and ended up having a guide for just the two of us. Great service, highly recommendedShow more

  Traveler•Written January 2026
  Does the end of the Siwa trip take us to Cairo? or somewhere else? What is the timing of the Alexandria trip? We go from where?? What date and time?? to Alexandria. Do we stay the night somewhere? When does the Alexandria trip end? What time will we go to the airport? I really need a breakdown of the timing and where we will be.
- Itaca HolidayOperator•Written January 2026
  As per the original itinerary, the Siwa trip ends back in Cairo. However, if Alexandria is added, there are two possible ways to arrange this.
  
  The first option is the standard option, which does not require an extra overnight stay. In this case, there would be a very early departure from Siwa in the morning. From Siwa, you would travel toward Alexandria, do the Alexandria sightseeing during the day, and then continue on to Cairo in the evening. You would stay overnight in Cairo, and the following day you would be transferred from your Cairo hotel to the airport for your departure flight.
  
  The second option is a more comfortable alternative. Instead of starting very early, you would travel from Siwa directly to Alexandria at a more relaxed pace. Upon arrival, you would check in at a hotel in Alexandria and stay overnight there. The next day, you would enjoy the Alexandria sightseeing tour, and after the visits, you would travel directly from Alexandria to Cairo airport in time for your departure flight. This option requires an additional cost due to the extra hotel night and logistics.
