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

January 5, 2022 Brain Ambrose

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.

I have to say my husband and I had a wonderful time with ‘Aaron’! Aaron arrived before our pick-up time (HYATT ZILARA) of 11:30AM. **LOVE THAT, PROMPT SERVICE** Even though I was a little late because I left my water shoes upstairs in our room, so I had to run back upstairs quickly to get them. LOL Aaron took us to YS Falls in Saint Elizabeth, and then after that he drove us over to Floyd’s Pelican Bar. AMAZING TIME IN BOTH PLACES!!! Thank you so much Aaron for the enjoyable conversations, as well as taking us, and getting us back to our hotel safely. We will be sure to book with you when we are in town again and best believe we will be requesting ‘Aaron’ as our driver! Thank you & stay safe Shavarr & Adrianne

As a professional diver, picking a good centre is vital for me - and I found it here diving with Dive UK Hurghada. Top class instructors, very knowledgeable of the local reefs and friendly. Professional boat teams and organisation, and (most importantly during these pandemic times) highest standard of cleanliness in the equipments. I would highly recommend to professionals and beginners alike.

Nice experience, but that is all. We were also told that we will have free drinks and we did get only a small cup of some green drink that tasted badly. If you want to go, get your own stuff and don't expect nothing from them. Just enjoy the view.

This was an unforgettable trip! It is a jam-packed trip with so many sites & activities, yet it also manages to offer relaxation while you cruise down the Nile in-between stops. Heba is incredibly attentive although there were a few changes about departure times/locations. She went out of her way to make it special for us (I was celebrating graduation & my friend his birthday!). She frequently checked in on us via WhatsApp to make sure everything was going smoothly. We loved our guide Ahmed (be sure to request him!!). His way of presenting information is super effective and I feel like I’m walking away from this trip with waaaaay more insight & education than I have ever had on any other trip. We really appreciated him. Overall the boat was nice and I loved the rooftop deck & pool. The food is ok but it’s fine for what it is and the staff is attentive. So happy & grateful for this experience!

We have booked the trip to Luxor with Ramashka and the service was amazing. Mr.Ahmed picked us up from the hotel at the exact time that he mentioned and gave us extra breakfast and a great fresh. When we arrived at the bus we were given front seats in order to have better view. The service was absolutely fantastic we had plenty of time to take photos, videos and even buy souvenirs.
