The Best Family Trip

UTS planned the 15 day private trip for us, and we had an amazing two weeks. From our private driver and wonderful personal guide, Tali, we had a seamless and stress free trip. I was worried how it would be traveling this time with our six-year old, but Egyptians love kids, and she did great. Highlights for her were all the kittens in the temples and riding a camel. The owner, Hamdan, of UTS I've known for more than 20 years, and my fourth time traveling to Egypt thanks to his company's help. Couldn't ask for a better person to plan just what you're wanting. Shukran to Hamdan, Tali, and Abdelrahman for making our trip so special.

An amazing family experience with a awesome tour guide

Mr. Walid was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable. He was able to explain the history of all the temples, and the background of the kings and queens. He took us to really nice shops, based on what we were wanting to buy. We will definitely be using him as a tour guide in the future. (Also he knows all the secret photo spots) thanks Mr Walid!!!!

It is all about your guide!

I had a great trip, I learned a lot about the country saw how beautiful it was along the way. The real help was our tour guide, Yousssef Fathy and his partner Mohab Taha. They really made the trip a great experience, they explained anything we had questions about and had a wealth of knowledge about the countries history and culture, and they are more than willing to accommodate specific handicapped needs, thanks to Monda Taha for booking us such a great team!

Wonderful Cairo Trip with Egypt United Tours & Travel (UTS)

We recently had a short but truly memorable trip to Cairo from 14–16 August, organized by Egypt United Tours & Travel (UTS). From the very beginning, everything was perfectly arranged — starting with smooth on-arrival visa processing by the UTS staff, followed by excellent hotel accommodation, meals, comfortable transportation, and a well-planned tour of different sites. Special thanks to Monda Taha, the Senior Tour Operator, whose professionalism, attention to detail, and constant follow-up made sure every part of our journey was seamless and exactly as agreed before. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction, which gave us complete peace of mind throughout the trip. We were also extremely fortunate to have Ahmed Nashaat as our tour guide. He is not only very fluent in English but also a truly knowledgeable guide with a deep understanding of Egyptian history and culture. His ability to bring ancient stories to life, combined with his patience in answering all our queries, made every visit meaningful and enjoyable. Ahmed’s warm personality and genuine care made us feel safe and well taken care of at all times. In short, my wife and I had a splendid tour from arrival to departure and never once felt like strangers in an unknown place. Both Monda and Ahmed treated us not just as clients, but as friends, which made our trip all the more special. We would definitely recommend Egypt United Tours & Travel (UTS) to our family and friends, and we look forward to traveling with them again in the future.

Amazing private tour!

I had an amazing experience visiting the pyramids and the Egyptian museum with UTS Tours. The professionalism and kindness of the entire team from Asma (agency staff) to Sherif (the guide), and the driver made the experience truly memorable. Sherif is knowledgeable, friendly and outstanding, explaining everything clearly and the driver was careful and punctual. I also went to the Papyrus gallery and perfume and essential oils store. Choosing this agency was an excellent decision. I highly recommend their services for anyone wanting a smooth and exceptional tour in Egypt!

Thanks Sherif for the trip of a lifetime!

Truly incredible! Sherif did an amazing job of making Egypt feel like home. He explained everything, really helping the stories come to life. He gave us a great tour of the city, tips on the markets, and made sure we left temples with a full understanding of the history. We were in great hands! Sherif made our trip and I will recommend him to anyone coming to Egypt

Sherif is the best <3

I did a group trip with 3 friends for 4 days down the Nile and the experience was absolutely phenomenal. Sherif specifically was the PERFECT guide - he is hilarious, incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to help us with anything. I'm seriously going to refer all of my friends coming to Egypt to pick him as a guide because he is truly outstanding.
