Ethel_B, Mar 2026

Best way to see a different side of Egypt

We were promptly picked up from our hotel by our kind and professional driver, Waleed in a comfortable van. The 3 hours journey was seamless. Waleed provided us with water and pointed out important landmarks along the way. Our guide in Alexandra was knowledgeable about the history of catacombs and Citadel of Qaitbay. Lunch was at a local restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. I highly recommend Emo Tours Egypt and will definitely use again.

Excellent experience

Sharm el Sheikh Airport was a bit chaotic with miserable staff. Be prepared to go through security. The bags were thrown through the scanner and belongings fell onto the floor. Apart from that it was a really smooth transfer into Cairo where we were met by our driver who took us to the pyramids. The guide met us there and we had a fantastic day. Take plenty of refreshments as it's a busy full on tour. We had a break in the museum where there is a café

Amazing experience!

Amazing and surreal experience! The pickup at the hotel and to the mountain was flawless. I suggest napping in advance as it is hard to do on the bus. It was a very secure experience. The van drivers were courteous and guides were really great. We were in a group of 45 and they had 3 guides. One in front, one in the back and one in the middle. The trek is tiring but they have a good feel for when to stop the group to rest. Loved the experience and don’t forget to tip them. They are very caring.

1 Day Tour to Petra From Sharm-el-Sheikh

Andy_J, Feb 2026

Day trip to Petra from Sharm El Sheikh

The visit to Petra is simply amazing. It is well worth the time spent getting there, however there is no escaping the fact that it is very, very long. Our trip started at 00:45 and ended at about midnight. It was all incredibly efficient though and by and large ran like clockwork. The only delay was when we arrived in Aqaba we were kept on the ferry for about an hour as a customs officer hadn’t turned up. There’s quite a bit of queuing too, you queue to leave Egypt and again to enter Jordan, and then the reverse on the way back. It is mostly queuing outside, it’s still dark (in early Feb) and was quite cold so make sure you have a jacket with you. The guides were great, and our tour bus catered for three languages. I saw previous reviews where people said that people spoke over the guides when it wasn’t their language but that wasn’t our experience. Petra itself is a sight to behold, absolutely stunning! The Treasury, jaw dropping! And the site is huge, we could have done with an entire day as you just can’t see it all in the few hours you are there for. There is a walk of around 45 mins in each direction which is downhill on the way in and therefore uphill on the way out. We are both 65, and quite active, but had no issues at all with the hike. You can take a golf buggy (which I think is $22 cash each, one way. Please check as I’m not too sure, or take a horse). We felt the lunch at a nearby hotel wasn’t great, but as it came at the end of the visit to Petra and we were about to sit on a coach for several hours, it was better not to over eat! Some have complained about the toilet stops being at shopping villages to buy souvenirs, but I couldn’t really see any other options. That said, there was absolutely zero hassle where we stopped, the vendors showed respect and left you alone to browse in peace. And no tips required to use the toilet! Don’t be put off by the journey, it really wasn't too arduous! Petra is an unforgettable experience, the Jordanian people are so friendly and welcoming, it is well, well worth it! I’m not sure why no one offers a two or three day trip though, if they did, we would have done that instead.

Incredible Experience

An incredible day start to finish!! Such an experience, made even better by our guide Syed. He was not only friendly, but so knowledgable and helpful, we couldn't have asked for anyone better to guide us. Seeing Cairo, the Nile and the Pyramids cannot be put into words, its truly special and Im so glad we booked it whilst staying in Sharm El Sheikh, which makes it a long coach journey but worth it. Please do this excursion, you won't regret it.

Joanne_G, Jan 2026

Excellent trip

The Cairo trip from Sharm was an incredible experience. The coach ride was long, no food included on the ride so I'd advise to take snacks, lunch is included and was lovely. The tour guide spoke numerous languages which was great. The day was long and jam packed with things to do. We visited the antiquities museum which was great to learn about Egypt's history. We learnt how to make papyrus and had an amazing lunch at a local restaurant. The pyramids and great sphinx was a magical experience. Anyone travelling to Egypt this tour is a must. I would say if I was to go again we would fly as my children struggled with her long coach and tiredness. Thanks for a fantastic trip 👍

Early start, long day. Totally worth it Modest dress as those who are shorts are asked to wear a wrap to cover up My tour was ran by Sharm smile tours The driver was excellent the guide Mahmoud clearly was passionate about the history of Egypt and Sinai.

Once In A Lifetime Experience, That We Would Do Again!

What an amazing day we have had on our trip to Cairo! Hishek was our guide and he was amazing. Really friendly and knowledgeable about Egypt and Cairo. He was really helpful and even when we were on a tight schedule because of the flights we booked, he managed to get everything fitted in for us and made sure we were happy and fed and watered. He even managed to squeeze in some shopping for us. He is a great guide. Our driver was great as well and got us around in style and safely in a hectic place to drive around. We definitely recommend this day tour, you will not be disappointed. Thankyou so much!
