3 beautiful places and Mustafa complementing the whole gem picture!
It was a unique experience. I chose a self-guided half-day tour to visit the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Valley of the Queens. The driver, Mustafa, arrived promptly at my hotel in a car as immaculate as he was. As he drove, he clearly and enthusiastically described the beautiful sights we saw along the way. In addition to answering typical tourist questions, and despite being hired solely to drive, Mustafa is the kind of person who sincerely shares his culture and philosophy of life, which was another treasure of a day I thoroughly enjoyed.

5 star one day Giza tour experience
We had an excellent one-day tour of the Giza Pyramid Complex and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Our guide, Essam, was fantastic; friendly, very knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his work as a professor of Egyptian archaeology. He explained the history in a clear and engaging way while also sharing many fascinating details that made the experience even more memorable. The tour was well organized and enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Easy, Well-Planned Day to Abu Simbel
Communication was smooth from start to finish, and everything was well organized. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit to Abu Simbel even more enjoyable. The van transfer was comfortable, and the hotel pickup made everything very convenient.

Just simply a fascinating day
Brilliant day exploring the beautiful city of Alexandria. Our guide Mr Mohamed is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and has excellent English. He's so knowledgeable and passionate about all things Egypt but especially ancient Egypt, hieroglyphs and linguistics. Just simply a fascinating day. Our driver Akmed was incredibly good. We felt comfortable and safe all day. 5*s

Tour to Alexandria from Cairo, full day
Great tour! I recommend, it started bad with the driver showing up at 6:45 a.m. instead of 6:00 a.m. But, after that everything went great. Adam, the driver was very courteous and attentive, his English dough, was poor. Ahmed, the tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, courteous, attentive at all of our needs.

Hisham was an amazing driver. He got me to the places, and even though he was driver only, he answered questions. This is okay for a female solo traveler. When you get into the church complex you may find that a guide is helpful so that you don’t miss anything. There are inexpensive guides for hire walking around.

A Whale of a Time!
We are so glad for this tour with Emo Tours. We had a whale of a time amid awesome ancient seabeds and marine fossils, learning about the geological history of the sea-desert, and finding saltwater waterfalls and lakes amid endless sand dunes. The desert campsite and lunch was a brief yet pleasant experience of desert life, and a welcome respite from Cairo’s urban sprawl. Thanks Fahd(guide) and Adil(driver) for this holiday-within-a-holiday experience!

We had an incredible and very packed day exploring Luxor’s West Bank. The itinerary included the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens and several other fascinating stops.
Both the driver and the guide were great. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, sharing rich historical context and answering all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. The pace was full but well-organised, allowing us to see so much in just one day without feeling too rushed.

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!

I would highly recommend
Our guide, Isaac, and driver, Hamza, were both friendly and welcoming throughout the tour. Isaac was especially knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating, making sure we felt comfortable and informed at every stop.
We explored the rich history of Coptic and Islamic Cairo, visiting remarkable sites like the the Hanging Church and Mosque of Muhammad Ali. Isaac also kindly helped us capture memorable moments by taking photos along the way.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
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. Alexandria delivers catacombs, gardens, and Greco-Roman ruins. Best of all? A professional driver spares you the nation’s crazy traffic, while a guide lets you skip the research altogether.
