Amazing Abu Simbel
Our tour to Abu Simbel was unforgettable, all thanks to Mustafa. He is an exceptionally warm, educated, and passionate guide with a profound knowledge of the temple's history.
What made it extra special was the wonderful teaching material he shared with us via WhatsApp during the tour, giving us great resources to keep learning. If you want a guide who truly brings ancient history to life, Mustafa is the absolute best!

Our guide was great, she...
Our guide was great, she took her time explaining the mosque to us and giving us a history lesson about the area before we walked through the market. She showed us some places she recommended for souvenirs and we found all we needed. We ended the tour trying a local Egyptian dish of Koshary. Thank you, Hana!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Egyptian Experience
We had an absolutely fantastic experience visiting the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. The tour was very well organised, informative and enjoyable from beginning to end.
A special thank-you to our wonderful tour guide, Halawani, who truly made the experience memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient and professional. His passion for Egyptian history was clear, and he brought the stories and history of the ancient Egyptians to life in such an interesting and engaging way.
Halawani was also very attentive and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. He gave us plenty of time to explore, take photographs and enjoy the incredible sights without ever feeling rushed. He was always happy to answer our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience.
The Pyramids and Sphinx were breathtaking, and the Grand Egyptian Museum was equally impressive. Having such an excellent guide like Halawani made these incredible places even more special.
Thank you so much, Halawani, for your kindness, knowledge and for making our day so enjoyable and unforgettable. You were an excellent guide, and we would highly recommend you to anyone visiting Cairo.
This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly Recommend
Our guide Wagih was a very good guide. I enjoyed everthing about the tour. The information provided was the perfect amount of information. We went on a Saturday and it turns out that was the best time to go. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in the Coptic Churches.

We had the best time visiting the Pyramids with Hossam. He is so kind and patient, and his explanations of the sites were fascinating. He really went above and beyond, even acting as our personal photographer so we could just enjoy the view. Thank you, Hossam, for such a wonderful day!

Fantastic tour and tour company
We would highly recommend Emo Tours Egypt - everything about the tour was beyond expectations. Abu Simbel itself was of course fantastic and well worth the long drive, and there are many companies offering tours, so my review is about Emo Tours. Communication from the company was excellent, instant response to questions on WhatsApp. We organised the pick up point (a cruise boat in our case) directly with the company via WhatsApp. The pick up was on time, the car was almost new and very comfortable, and our driver Mohammed was a very good, safe driver. With the comfortable car and very good straight roads we got to Abu Simbel in 3.5 hours including a 15 minute coffee stop (even quicker on the way back). Our guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable and he gave us a lot of very useful and interesting information in perfect English before we entered the temples. Both guide and driver were friendly and courteous. Overall an excellent company and tour, hence highly recommended

If you want to get the...
If you want to get the best from Cairo in one day, this is the tour to go for! Our guide Amira was excellent! She’s an Egyptologist and was very knowledgable. She was one of the best guides we had during our time in Egypt and would recommend the tour with her to everyone. Our driver Mohammed was very good and polite as well. He came about 15 minutes before the scheduled time and drove us safely through the crazy traffic in Cairo and back to our hotel in Giza. We booked just Car and Guide and there were no problems with buying the tickets on-site. Even in high season there were no queues and you can pay by card everywhere, except the 50E£ car fee to the Citadel.

An unforgetabble day in Fayoum
This experience is relaxed, personal, and driven by Ahmed’s bright, engaging personality. From the start, his energy sets the tone for the entire day. He is warm, upbeat, and genuine, which makes the experience feel less like a tour and more like an adventure shared with a friend.
The day is not rushed or overly structured. Ahmed encourages curiosity, conversation, and laughter, creating an easy, joyful atmosphere while still sharing meaningful context about Fayoum, the desert, and the whale fossils. The drive from Cairo becomes part of the experience, filled with good energy and connection.
Visiting the whale fossils was fascinating. Lunch at a Bedouin rest area in the desert is a true highlight, offering a peaceful break in a beautiful setting.
Travelers should know that much of what makes this experience special is Ahmed himself. His positivity, sense of humor, and genuine hospitality leave you feeling energized and cared for throughout the day. If you value a guide with a vibrant spirit who creates a memorable, personable experience, this tour is an excellent choice.

Really good guide
It was a very interesting experience. Our guide was fantastic. He was great at storytelling and had a lot of knowledge.
He was also very open about his own experiences and opinions and it was a great eye opener for foreigners like us. We visited several churches and a synagogue which carry a massive amount of history.
I am not sure if it’s mentioned in the itinerary, to get to the last church you have to drive through the so called ‘garbage city’ - which is not for everyone- and so was visiting the city of the dead - but we are glad we did that as it’s a fascinating part of Cairo. Highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide was William - very knowledgeable!

We had a great time....
We had a great time. Special thanks also to our tour guide Talaat. He did all his best to make this trip a great success. Relaxed and humorous guy.
The cruise 4 days/ 3 nights has quite a tight schedule but we saw kind of all highlights in this short time. Can really recommend it.

Egypt is home to thousands of years of history. Even if you’re visiting for sun, sea, and sand, the top Egypt day trips make it easy to enjoy the nation’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed wonders. Cairo offers pyramids aplenty, plus mosques, bazaars, museums, and Coptic churches, while Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel are famous for tombs and temples.
