Egypt Traveler Reviews

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd trip with Osama and Journey to Egypt! This time was even different then the last! Osama's wealth of knowledge and experience in the area brought us to new sites and locations. We loved the hot air balloon ride and the Nubian Village. There is so much to learn and Osama leads you on the journey with a lot of care and laughs! This is a highly recommended tour.

Osama and his crew delivered what we had hoped for: a trip of a lifetime. With only our most vague ideas shared over Facebook chat, Osama designed a voyage that suited my wife, teenage son and me perfectly. He explained everything we would need to be prepared for. His associates in Cairo and at each airport were helpful and efficient. He truly would not be satisfied until we were 100 percent happy. He is a marvelously genuine person who is doing everything he can to rebuild a struggling Egyptian tourist industry. It was the kind of trip that would be amazing no matter what, but Journey to Egypt allowed us to worry less and enjoy more. Osama even followed up with a message today, our final day in a Cairo hotel before departure, to make sure we were happy. It was a nice final touch from a class organization.

Thank you Usama for an excellent experience! I highly recommend taking this tour if you have a love for history and would like a peaceful tide up the Nile. The attention to detail is awesome, for example my son's birthday on the boat was arranged beforw I even mentioned it was his birthday. Thanks again, Usama! I am sure we will see you again in the future.

Further to the October 19th review by Ron E. ~ Collectively our Guides, Osama, Mazen & Sally were/are outstanding. Their knowledge and pride of their country is admirable. Incredible hosts who educated us in the magic and enchantment of Cairo and Luxor ~ who assisted us throughout our stay with kind attention to detail. Best of luck to you all. An extraordinary experience for our Family.

After an extensive search for a tour company (with the help from Google and TripAdvisor reviews), we contacted Journey to Egypt for our group's 10 days trip to Cairo, Alexandaria, Aswan and Luxor. Planning on our itinerary was a breeze over emails and WhatsApp conversation with Osama, who was quick to respond despite our time zone difference. Team Journey to Egypt (Osama, Mazen & Amal) executed our trip efficiently and are always looking out for our comfort and safety. They will advice on travel ethics in Egypt (such as tipping culture, the do's and don'ts for shopping etc). Osama was our guide in Aswan to Luxor via the Nile Cruise, Mazen in Cairo and Alexandria, and Amal in Cairo. Journey to Egypt made our stay in Egypt a memorable one, and would definitely recommend them to our families and friends.

Alexandria - Giza - Aswan - Luxor - Cairo My friends and I roughly knew the parts of Egypt we wanted to go to after a thorough research over Google & getting some insights from travel agents in Malaysia. Nevertheless, we made one of the best decisions in getting "Journey to Egypt" (a local agent based in Luxor) to make all the arrangements for us based on the places that we wanted to go to. The whole trip went smoothly and our guides, Osama, Mazen & Ammal made sure that we were safe, comfortable & well-equipped with tips on local cultures (+ tipping culture). Our itinerary includes: Drive & Stay in Alexandria, Stay in Cairo (Giza area) for the Spectacular Pyramid View, Flying to Aswan to catch the Aswan-Luxor Nile Cruise & a flight back to Cairo to experience the Old Cairo. Was a very safe and amazing experience being there in Egypt. Humbling & wonderful experience. Would do a repeat. :)

My partner and I were looking to book a Nile cruise for our holiday to Egypt and decided to book with Journey To Egypt after looking into a few companies. Given the number of options, and seemingly similar itineraries, we thought we would get a fairly standard package with any provider we used. Journey to Egypt, and our tour guide Osama, exceeded our expectations in every way on this front, and we are so glad we booked them. The tour was private, so we weren't part of a larger group when visiting sites, and Osama was completely focused on ensuring we had a great experience. He took his time to explain each destination, answering any questions we may have, and always gave us plenty of time to do our own exploration of the sites we visited. We had time to fully explore each destination we visited. The boat we cruised on was also excellent, with great food included. Osama also made himself available during the cruise if we needed any help. We really appreciated this on our last day, when my partner became ill and Osama arranged for her to have a cabin to sleep in on the boat after we had checked out at no extra cost. I mention this to demonstrate the effort Osama put in to ensure we were looked after. Osama and Journey To Egypt really helped to make our trip to Egypt a memorable one. I would encourage anyone to visit Egypt, as the history/art/ancient culture is amazing, and if you do I would fully recommend using Journey To Egypt. I was hugely impressed by the level of service we received, particularly given their very competitive prices.

We have just finished our week long adventure with Journey of Egypt and what an incredible experience we had! We started our trip in Cairo and then took the Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan. Our two incredible guides, Mazen and Osama made sure every detail of our trip was memorable. They engaged both of our kids (10 and 6)in the history and magic of ancient Egypt. We explored the Pyramids of Giza, took a memorable camel ride around the Pyramids and took a day trip to Alexandria. Then we flew to Luxor and visited the impressive Luxor and Karnak temples among many other sites. The Nile Cruise on Princess Sarah was fantastic with great food and plenty of entertainment. But what really made this trip stand out were our amazing guides. Osama is an outgoing and caring guy, great egyptologist and most of all a wonderful person. We highly recommend Journey to Egypt to anyone who wants to explore the ancient wonders of Egypt.

Without a doubt, Journey To Egypt is the best way to tour Egypt. From the moment we landed in Cairo and were greeted by our guide who promptly whisked us through airport security and picked up our baggage we were given the red carpet treatment from beginning to end. First rate accommodations, highly knowledgeable tour guides, personal driver, and of course Osama himself, made this a truly memorable experience. Journey To Egypt is simply the best!

Fantastic tour of Egypt. This was all down to Osama (Journey to Egypt ). Anyone travelling alone or in groups can rest assured you will have made the correct decision by using Osama. He is a friendly knowledgable person on service 24/7. You will instantly warm to him and enjoy your visit. For us he booked the Princess Sara cruise ship. This ship is just beautiful and great staff. He organised everything from the time we landed until we departed. He is a licensed tour guide and is well known by all in his trade. Well respected even by the ships crew. I don't normally write reviews but Egypt is a fascinating and safe place to visit. Yes...liaise with Osama as much as you wish before visiting and he answers all you concerns etc. First class and you will have a wonderful time.

After researching and contacting numerous companies about a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, I am so happy to have chosen Journey to Egypt. My friend and I, two American women, traveled together and got a completely personalized trip with our tourguide, Osama. Every step of the way, we felt safe and informed, with Osama giving all the information we wanted about the history of the sights we visited, daily logistics of the cruise, and how to navigate the various cities we visited. Further, Osama let us choose how much time to spend at each place, giving us information and walking with us to understand the layout, then letting us wander on our own with no real time limit. After almost a week together, we felt very comfortable with Osama, as he had become a friend as well as our guide. He is informed, truly thoughtful, and cares about each person enjoying this trip to the fullest. Don't hesitate on booking through Journey to Egypt - you will have a wonderful Nile Cruise experience!

First, everyone everywhere should visit Egypt. Second, when you do visit, you absolutely should travel with Osama at Journey to Egypt. We spent five days, four nights traveling from Luxor to Aswan on a Nile Cruise--we used the boat, Princess Sarah--and loved every single minute of it. From our travel preparations to our arrival in Egypt to our orientation at each site we visited, Osama was so attentive, communicative, and thoughtful. As two young woman traveling alone, we felt entirely safe in Egypt and even when we were no longer on the cruise with Osama, he took care to make arrangements for us with his friends in other cities and was happy to advise on whatever we had questions about. Unlike some of the larger tour groups, we never felt rushed or obligated to complete a set itinerary because we traveled only as a group of two with Osama. If we had additional requests or wanted honest opinions about prices and activities, especially the common tourist traps like rugs, papyrus, or perfumes, Osama was always straightforward. By the end of our time, we felt Osama became a true friend who genuinely enjoys his work, takes pride in his country and its history, and loves to bring enthusiasm to whomever he is with. Morever, Osama's generosity to us and his fellow Egyptians is unparalled. He was always happy to purchase a trinket or two when we visited particularly uncrowded areas in order to support the community in small ways on his own dime. When we come back to Egypt, we will not think twice about organizing everything with Osama. SHUKRAN, OSAMA!
