Very expensive. Not worth...

Gopi_K, Jan 2026

Very expensive. Not worth for the price paid. Moreover the trip did not include tickets and lunch. Though the guide was there, there was not much to cover. The guide did not enter the temples and briefed the history and other artifacts by showing pictures she carried. Not sure why she could not enter the temples. The most bizarre part of the journey is the guide demanded 500 EGP for each driver as tips at the end of the trip. We had two drivers. First of all, this trip was so expensive and on top of that this unexpected tip requirement wa least expected. However, the guide was very friendly and helpful through out the journey. Moreover, I had already given tips to the guide as a token of appreciation.

Awesome Guide

Had a great day with our guide Karim! Funny, and informative. Really enjoyed. Wasn’t interested in the mandatory stop at the tourist trap coffee shop on the way so he kept to a minimum just to allow driver to get coffee. Our lunch at local restaurant was some of the best food we have had. Totally worth the visit! Request Karim if you can!
