This was a must do trip which we decided to book independently of the hotel/travel company. Booking was easy and quite straightforward however the night before our trip, changes were made which were not communicated very well and meant our trip was cut short “due to flight time changes”. No compensation was offered for this however we were offered alternative dates. Asma was not helpful at all. We were only in Egypt for a week so decided to go ahead with the trip albeit not as described in the literature. We were picked up from our hotel (stressful as the driver arrived over 30 mins late) and taken to the airport. Lovely flight on Air Cairo! We were met by our guide for the day, Sam and the driver. Sam was hugely knowledgable, he explained so much of the history which was really interesting. He made sure we all had amazing photo opportunities even advising where the best places to buy souvenirs. His pride in his history and the culture was so evident in the detailed information he was able to share throughout the day. He managed the group well and ensured the day ran smoothly. Lunch was a little chaotic as the booking changes meant we could no longer go to a restaurant to eat, instead the driver bought the food to us to eat on the bus. Not ideal but it was a good tasty lunch - but not so great if you happen to be vegetarian or have any dietary requirements because it was the same for all….. The day is long but it’s a must do trip and if you are lucky to have a good guide like Sam, you will not regret it! The whole day was brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable. We felt safe at all times. We were taken back to the airport for the short flight back to hurghada on time..and picked up for the journey back to the hotel too. This was really efficient.
