8 Days Cairo to Abu Simbel by Road
Our experienced local tour guides will take you on a journey through ancient wonders, and reveal the hidden gems of Egypt.
1. Experience authentic Egypt: during my tours, you won’t just visit the main tourist attractions, but also will take time to wander through local markets, talk with everyday Egyptians, see workshops making handmade goods, and try delicious street-food. Since we r local Egyptians speak native fluent Arabic, and have spent 30 years traveling throughout the country, I can truly take you behind the scenes.
2. Hassle-free touring: travel to Egypt can be stressful, considering the different customs on tipping, prevalence of tourist scams, and cultural differences. Let me help by:
-
Paying all tips, from hotel porters and bathroom attendants to our tour guides and drivers. You never need to worry about how much and to whom you tip
-
Keeping a watchful eye on the group, making sure we have the best experience at all the tourist sites, and avoid any potential wastes of time or money
-
Letting you know everything you need to know before coming to Egypt, so you are prepared for your time in the land of the Pharaohs
3. Everything you want, included:
4. A true, private tour experience:
5. A cruise, unlike any other: on this Egypt adventure, you get to step back in time and board a Dahabeya to spend five unforgettable days sailing up the Nile River.
6. Gay and lesbian friendly tours: I get asked all of the time, “Is Egypt safe for gay travelers?”, and the answer is nuanced, but overall, YES! It is totally safe for gay and lesbian travelers, and my tours specifically are designed to help LGBTQ+ people, both singles and couples, to experience Egypt in a safe and comfortable environment. These tours are not just for LGBTQ+ people though—anyone is welcome!
