Cheap Egypt holiday 11 Days Cairo-Luxor-Aswan-Abu Simbel by sleeping train

My husband and I recently returned from an unforgettable 8-day holiday in Egypt, organised by Egypt Direct Tours. Our itinerary included visits to Giza, Saqqara, the Grand Egyptian Museum, an overnight trip to Bahariya Oasis, and several days in Luxor. From the moment we made our initial enquiry, Ahmed was incredibly responsive and patient, answering our numerous questions as it was our first time visiting Egypt. At the time, I was also communicating with another tour agency that offered a similar package for the same price, but we chose Egypt Direct Tours due to Ahmed's exceptional customer service skills. We felt confident that we would be well taken care of, and we were not disappointed. During our stay in Egypt, Ahmed contacted us daily to check in and ensure everything was going smoothly. He also provided reminders about the plans and logistics for the following day, making communication seamless and hassle-free. Ahmed's team was equally impressive. We had the pleasure of being guided by Bassam and Yahya, and driven by Yousry and Bogdady. All of them were friendly, professional, and made us feel at ease throughout our journey. Prior to our trip, we had read about negative experiences involving harassment at tourist spots. However, with Bassam and Yahya by our side, we felt shielded from such issues as no vendors approached us when they saw we were with tour guides. This greatly contributed to making our holiday in Egypt a pleasant and stress-free experience. Special shoutout to Bassam, who was an exceptional tour guide and Egyptologist. Yahya was great too, but Bassam's knowledge and passion for Egypt's history made our trip unforgettable. We also saw Bassam tipping some workers at Giza on our behalf so they wouldn't bother us, which was incredibly thoughtful. Ahmed and his team made all measures necessary to ensure our trip was comfortable and enjoyable. They were all punctual with hotel and airport pickups, which made our travel experience smooth and stress-free. Overall, we highly recommend Egypt Direct Tours for their outstanding service, professionalism, and dedication to ensuring a wonderful travel experience. Thank you, Ahmed and team, for making our first visit to Egypt so special! ...more ...less

I am Alessandro from Italy. I had holiday in Cairo and surroundings (including 1 full day in Alexandria) with my 2 parents in March 2025. I asked support to help me to Egypt Direct Tours..and I was in contact with the manager Ahmed El Kadi. He was very helpful for us..he found for us an apartment in Giza with Pyramid view. The apartment was well furnished and with a good price. Our guide was Mr Ahmed (Italian language speaking)..he was very kind with us with a lot of explanations. He stayed with us for all days except departure day. I recommend him. Our driver was Hassan..very good driver inside traffic jams in Cairo! We also was very kind with us. He also can speak English and he was always on time. Important..his van was every day clean. Definitively i recommend Egypt Direct Tours to plan your holiday. Ask to Mr Ahmed El Kadi. Thank you for your help. See you next holiday. Bye Alessandro from Italy ...more ...less

I used Egypt Direct Tours this year and traveled to Cairo, spending Christmas and my birthday there. Mohamed and Nasser did not disappoint! They did a great job covering a lot of Cairo and the culture and the "hotspots" in a short time. It was an amazing experience and if I do go back, I will definitely use EDT again! Thank you! ...more ...less
