Good experience

LISA_T, Jan 2026

Good experience, felt safe. It is a very long day, with no meal stops due to the remote locations, so be sure and take snacks and water.

Great experience

Jack_H, Apr 2025

Great experience, very well managed tour. We felt very safe. Tanis was quiet with only a handful of tourists but everyone there was very welcoming. We had the whole place pretty much to ourselves. We saw the Suez Canal from a restaurant that was very well maintained, clean and great food. Thank you for making the trip possible.
