I had a wonderful experience with Delixe Travel and specifically our Egyptologist Ahmed Zaki. Deluxe travel was efficient, friendly and courteous with airport transfers and getting us to our hotel. They also offered to assist with COVID testing. We felt safe and secure at all times with their team. Touring with Ahmed Zaki was very special. He is knowledge and passionate about the history and eager to answer questions and point out small details that would otherwise go unnoticed. He was very communicative and helped us tailor the tour based on our interest. Just a great overall experience.

I’ve been to Egypt three times, I met one of the owners (Sem Sem) of The Egypt Tour Specialists when I traveled several years ago with him on a group tour for a big international company for which he served as both a manager and a guide. When I reached out to him for help planning my last trip, I discovered that Sem Sem had started his own company. I knew I wanted to hire him and no one else, but he insisted I get quotes from other companies before booking with The Egypt Tour Specialists. This was a first for any travel company! We worked out an itinerary, and Sem Sem handled everything from there. I included the temple of Abydos which Sem Sem assured me he would do his best to arrange, but could not guarantee as Egypt has a rather complicated permit system for anyone going off the beaten path. We did not know if we would be able to do Abydos until literally the evening before as the government has the right to yank the permit for any reason at any time. As this was during Covid and I was a solo traveler, my permit received extra scrutiny. We made it! It was only after that Sem Sem told me about the offices he had to visit, the fees paid, and the numerous phone calls made over weeks to make this happen. Any other company would have just said it is too complicated, expensive, and logistically difficult. The Egypt Tour Specialists knew it was important to me and made it happen even though it would have been more profitable and easier to just have insisted on doing something else. This was the best of all three trips I have taken. Just some of my unforgettable memories are entering the step period at Saqqara (It had been closed for a number of years and had just reopened shortly before I arrived), experiencing the vibrant Copt community (Egyptian Christian minority) in the Christian quarter of Cairo, having a beer and just discussing life with Sem Sem in a swanky bar/restaurant with amazing views of Cairo, the Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple at night, my adventure going to Abydos, and meeting Sem Sem’s family when I wrapped up the trip on the Red Sea. It’s not just the memories that stick with me though. It is the Egyptian people. Recent history has not been kind to them, but everywhere I went I received a smile and a warm welcome. Despite the news we sometimes read in the USA, Egypt feels just as safe to me as Europe or America, it is only marginally farther for Americans than Europe with a much longer history, amazingly preserved monuments, and it is very reasonably priced. If you smile, trust a little, and extend an open hand in friendship, you will be treated extremely well regardless of your nationality or international politics. I would have never had this experience if I had booked a fancy Nile cruise or a place on a large tour bus. The Egypt Tour Specialists is a reputable local company that operates with integrity where your money will go back to the local economy rather than to a huge international tour company. They are able to tailor a tour to any age, group size, length, and price point. Why just observe Egypt when you can be a part of it? By using The Egypt Tour Specialists, I not only saw the monuments and got the history, but I left with friends and the place in my heart for Egypt grew even bigger than it already was.

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.
