This trip was such an unforgettable experience! It could not have been possible without my amazing tour guide- Sherif, driver- Muhammad, and representative- Tamir. I cannot stop talking about my trip and everything I have learned due to Sherifs extensive knowledge about the history (and there’s a lot). Not only is he the smartest, he is also the kindest person and will make sure to put you and your group first. He single handily made this experience something I will keep with me forever and will be forever grateful. Muhammad was also such a sweetie. despite the language barrier, he always had a smile to share and some candy to share! Our representative Tamir also handled everything beautifully and had me and my mother worry about nothing from the second we got off the plane! All these people truly made us feel like family. If you ever get the chance to go to Egypt I truly recommend booking with them, we felt safe the entire time and I can’t wait to go back!

My trip to Egypt was really organized, and it was nice to meet everyone connected with the Egypt United Tour !!!! I will try and for my family to come and visit, this experience was awesome J !!!! My tour guide was absolutely awesome, he was full of knowledge and very passionate about his job and explained history to me, we became great friends and I will miss him. Save to return to visit again. All my tour representatives were nice, and I will miss the fact that I didn’t spend enough time with them, they were all very welcoming and friendly. I left Egypt with wonderful memories that I will never forget. No words Egypt United Tours can express my gratitude. I would recommend them to anyone.
