What to do and see in Red Sea and Sinai, Egypt: The Best Private Tours

January 23, 2022 Darleen Reid

Traditional attitudes prevail in the historic Sinai region on Egypt's border with Israel. The triangular peninsula is divided from the rest of Egypt by the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. Craggy mountains, including 7500-foot Mount Sinai, plunge down to the waters of the Red Sea. Spectacular snorkeling and diving sites beckon from the Gulf of Aqaba to the east of the peninsula, particularly along the dramatic coastline of Na'ama Bay in Sharm el Sheikh. Camelback safaris offer distinctive desert excursions.

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.

Canyons are great, the rest of the tour was extremely poor. First of all, never book tours with Dahab Safari Day Tours: - given phone rarely answered, I had to call twice (without success) a day before the tour to get confirmation and details of the tour (like pick time etc) - promised guide language was not provided, basically there was no a guide in this tour who could explain something; - in a jeep there were 9+1(kid) people instead of 8 - due to accumulated delays, the jeep was driven with very high speed (100+km/h), compromising security of passengers (there were no security belts of course) - we came back to the hotel more than 1 hour later, although it has been promised to be in time. Partially it's due to delays during canyon tour that was not properly managed by a company, partially due to not transferring us to our hotel first (as it was promised), but the last. Due to the lack of time there was no Dahab visit. The blue hole that was a part of the tour is not worth to visit: dirty place and very bad restaurant.

We did a 3 hour boat cruise around the gold coast waterways. Nitsa the owner was our skipper for my Hens party. We had the best time! Honestly, it was the highlight of my hens weekend. Nitsa took heaps of photos of our group and allowed me to play my own music nice and loud! She also organized water, champagne glasses and ice buckets. The table on board was movable, meaning that after we’d eaten Nitsa moved the table so we had our very own dance floor! Nitsa also stopped at her mooring halfway through the cruise so we could use the ladies toilet (but there is also one on board!). The boat comfortably fit 8 of us girls. We ate, danced and drank whilst looking at some of the richest houses, people enjoying their meals at the wharf and some dolphins! So many great memories to cherish forever! Thanks Nitsa :)

I highly recommend taking this trip by plane. We booked less than 2 days in advance, there were almost no tickets left. We had business class seats to go. My name was wrong so I had to buy another ticket at the airport, maybe last seat on the plane. The agency was fair and deducted the amount from the total price agreed, very correct! From there, everything went very smooth. We were expected at the airport in Cairo by our guide Zenab and our driver. We had a private tour just for ourselves. We could go at our own pace. Zenab was a great guide and person. She was very welcoming and did her best to please us at all times. Overall, I totally recommend this travel agency, they are very thrust worthy and will guide you from and back to your hotel entrance. Thank you!!

This tour is amazing, I would totally recommend it to family and friends! We had the chance to explore all the temples from Aswan, Abu Simbel to Luxor. Our guide Ramzy was a key part to make this trip unforgettable, he was very knowledgeable and always willing to answer all the questions we had about the history of the temples. He was always with us and made sure that we had the best experience. The cruise was really nice too, the room was well equipped and the staff were very helpful and friendly.
