  I did this tour in August with my Daughter and it was just amazing. Yes it was hot 35-45 but not humid so less crowded everywhere which is a bonus. Relaxing at Hurghada afterwards a great way to unwind as it is a full on tour,getting up at 3am for the Abu Simbel trip and the balloon flight over the Valley of the Kings well worth the effort! We felt safe at all times even had an armed guard occasionally. Take more cash with you as it is an all cash country only the hotels and large souvineer shops take credit cards. Timeless Tours were fantastic no problem too small to sort out . The Guides were all very knowledgable Arkmed who took us to Alexandria and Dashur to see the Bent and Red pyramids (well worth the extra visit before tour) then Ramez and Mariam all easy to get on with. Once again thank you for a life long memory of Egypt which we will never forget.

  This was a fantastic value for money tour! The local Egyptian tour guides Mariam and Rames were friendly, well educated in Egyptian history and super accommodating to the groups needs. When a couple issues arose they were on them instantly and persistently until they were solved. Summer was hot but nothing two Aussies couldn't handle with an air-conditioned bus - also less tourists! Pros of going to Egypt with Timeless Tours: It's an amazing life changing trip, just do it! Great value for money. Semi-flexible tour options e.g. flying vs. bus, felucca vs cruise boat, lunch options adjusted to suit needs. Attentive tour guides. Tips for Egypt: Expect heat in summer. Bring a hat, sunnies and sunscreen. Comfy sandals and long sleeve cotton shirts are your best friend. Bring lots of cash because card is only accepted in hotels and very few high-end businesses. ATMs are available but expect fees. Buy a data sim card on arrival as WiFi is limited and usually not free. I also really recommend the 14 day over the 9/10 day tours as you have more time to relax in Hurghada after a high intensity few days (especially if you do all of the optional extras, which I highly recommend especially the hot air balloon, scuba diving, and Nubian dinner). Did I mention the Hurghada beach resort has unlimited free alcohol and food?!? We also booked a dessert safari here through Tripadvisor but your tour guide is seriously happy to help with anything you need. They even went to the shop and bought us green tea and cold tablets! What are you waiting for, book the trip already. I have no regrets and would recommend this tour to any of my traveller friends.

  It was excellent and our guide Ramaz went above and beyond for taking care of us and making sure we were safe even to the extent of having a security guard with us on occasions.

  The tour went very well. All transfers and transportation were smooth. The hotels were 3-4 star and quite adequate. The included meals were a little above average, however we like middle eastern cuisine. The Nile cruise food and culture show were very good. The included itinerary covers most of the highlights and the few optional tours complete the trip. Having said that, Egypt is not a beginners trip for most people. Culture shock is unavoidable. You should have a prescription for stomach ailments. The peddlers will follow you and they do not like to take no for an answer. You will see plenty of automatic rifles in the hands of the Egyptian army and security forces. We never felt concerned for our safety. The one included boat tour in Cairo on the last day of the Pharaonic village was not very good. The rest of the tours were great. The people were friendly and the tour guides professional.
