I booked a private tour to the pyramids to avoid all the hassle, and it was definitely worth it. The tour was prepaid by credit card and I found the price affordable. All my emails were promptly answered, too. I was picked up right on time by a driver and my guide, Nesma, and as traffic was light, the journey from central Cairo to the pyramids took some 20 minutes only. Nesma gave quick briefs at our stops and I had ample time to look around and take photos. She answered all the questions I had and did her best to accommodate my wishes. Her English was excellent. After the pyramids and the sphinx, we made a quick extra stop at a papyrus shop/factory, where they explained the making and history of papyrus. There was no pressure to buy anything, it was a genuine educational stop and an interesting one at that. I can warmly recommend Emotours. I found them reliable, punctual and knowledgeable.

The driver and the tour guide were at our Airbnb 10 minutes earlier. The van was spacious and clean. The vibe was relaxed and positive since the beginning. Abdu, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and he showed proficiency not only in French but also in English. Alexandria is beautiful and the Mediterranean Sea is what crowns it. The Greco Roman catacombs, Pompey’s Pillar, the Citadel of Qaitbay, the restaurant, everything was delightful. At the end our driver even helped us find a suitcase in downtown Cairo. It was awesome!

First of all, it is totally worth to visit Black and White desert, and the contents of the tour were great. Also the food we ate was delicious (although poor breakfast). I would totally skip the cold and hot springs stops. Why did I rate this tour as being poor? We initially booked the tour in January (2 months before our trip) for a private tour (my partner and myself). Everything was ok until 2 days before the tour when we thought of maybe cancelling it (because of coronavirus situation) and were told that we would have a discount because another couple was joining us. No other options offered, and finally we decided to go ahead. When they came to pick us up, it was a group of 4 joining us and we all had to go in a 6 seat car (we were 7 including the driver) for 4-4:30hours to get to Baharyia Oasis. The group of 4 also contracted the tour in January, and they were told that a couple was joining them on the same day the tour started. Once there at least we were offered two 4x4 to do the trip to the Black and White deserts. The drivers were just drivers, enough English to understand each other but not for long conversations. They weren't proper guides, didn't talk much, just took us from place to place. For the Black desert is important to wear closed trainers (as you climb a little mountain that can be slippery). One of the drivers was trying to be funny at some point, but it resulted in being pushy and unrespectful. There was one of the girls from the group who is vegeterian and didn´t have chicken, so he really insisted on her trying it... Also jokes to my partner saying that if I weren´t there for sure he would say that he would like to be with other women... It made us all feel very uncomfortable. At least the group of 4 who joined us was very nice and we had a good time with them! The other driver who was more quite played the drums at night after dinner which was nice. Last but not least, on the second day, we were supposed to have breakfast before the sun rise (we had breakfast at 7am, we all woke up before the drivers) and be in Barahyia Oasis by 10am. We got there at noon expecting to get some food (even if we had to pay extra), but no, the driver to get us back to Cairo was ready. We went back on the same uncomfortable car in a ride that took nearly 6 hours, specially because of Cairo´s traffic. The driver was nice and got a simple sandwich for each of us. It is a shame that it turned out to be like that, because the places you visit are simply amazing, gorgeous and stunning and absolutely a must if you have the time and budget.

Had an amazing experience climbing in Wadi Gnai with Attar and Fadi. They challenged us physically and mentally. We came back feeling extremely accomplished and high on life. Loved our experience and would highly recommend. Ps: I had my sons (8 and 4) and the guys were super patient and supportive with them. The boys had a blast
