Luxor, Egypt"Perfect trip to Egypt"
I just spent 2 days touring Luxor with Osama- Journey to Egypt and it was absolutely fantastic! I had friends and family express concern over visiting Egypt, but I have to say that I felt 100% safe at all times in this beautiful country. I visited a friend in Cairo, then travelled on my own to see the sights in Luxor. Osama made me feel like I was visiting a friend there as well! He was extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic, and took me everywhere I wanted to go. Everywhere. He and the driver were always on time (even early) and made the entire trip so easy and seamless. I would recommend Journey to Egypt to absolutely anyone who has dreamed of visiting Egypt in their life. Do it. You will not regret it.

USA"Our Journey to Egypt"
We just got married and really wanted to come to Egypt for our honeymoon. Many of our family and friends tried to convince us not to travel here because they said it was not safe. How very wrong they were! We have had such a wonderful trip here from Cairo to Aswan with Journey to Egypt tours. Osama Rashad was absolutely fantastic. Everything was so smooth and he really went above and beyond! Osama is so passionate about his country and teaching people all about Egyptian history. We felt so safe and cared for under the care of Osama and Journey to Egypt tours. We will definitely return and bring our family next time! He arranged everything from airport transportation to walks through the market to our lovely Nile Cruise. His rates are very competitive too! We highly recommend him and his company for anyone coming to Egypt!

Japan"Have yourself a great trip to Egypt with "Journey to Egypt""
I have travelled Egypt for 2 weeks with my friends and had such a great time. Egypt is a wonderful travel destination specially for those interested in archaeology but traveling around local cities by individual arrangement may not be very easy. From this reason we did majority of arrangement through "Journey to Egypt" or Osama Rashad and he did perfect job for us. He mainly works in Luxor but dose travel arrangement for other cities as well and provides a complete tailor made tour upon request. Of course his knowledge about Egyptian history and archaeology as a tour guide is a super. Additionally he is a great companion to travel with. Extremely hospitable guy! I myself is a licensed tour guide in Japan and learned a lot from Osama, particularly the way of dedication to his work. Definitely I'll travel again with "Journey to Egypt" if I have another chance to go to Egypt.

Egypt"Easily one of the most organised trips I've been on"
I took six of my friends to Egypt with me, and was searching for budget prices as we are all students. Osama was extremely helpful in finding us the perfect package, with the Royal Esadora easily being one of the better Nile cruise boats I've been on. Communication before the trip was extremely fast, and Osama made sure that we were constantly updated with any information before the trip. He even made sure we got a horse and carriage ride in Luxor city, as well as a trip to the Nubian village - a must see! Michael was our tour guide - an amazingly funny and well-informed man, who fit in easily with our group and definitely made the trip more fun. He was good at giving us time to explore and was patient with all of our questions. All in all, the trip was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who would like a seamless experience to Aswan and Luxor.

Toronto, Canada"Great tour, highly recommended!"
We came to visit Egypt for the first time with a group of 8 girls. I was recommended this company by a friend. Communication with Osama prior to the trip was seamless, and he was extremely helpful and booked all our day tours (4 in total) and even booked us airport transfers. Pickup Was smooth and on time. Our tour guide was Mazen for all the days. He was such a great guide - very informative and always went out of his way to take good care of us! He was quite flexible with our schedule and with what we wanted to see, even letting us book tours the day before. I would highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Egypt for the first time!

Beirut, Lebanon"An unforgettable experience, highly recommended !"
On April 18, 2017. My mother & I just finished our nile river cruise with journey to Egypt, our trip began from Aswan ending up in Luxor. The tour program included many sites like sad el Aaly, philae temple, Nubian village, Edfu,luxor, karnak temples, Valley of kings and many others, in addition of many other activities in and outside the cruise specially the on board overnight galabiya party that we really enjoyed. The program was fully scheduled and well organized. Our guide Mazen was really knowledgable and funny, he made sure to let us see and understand the Egyptian history and to let us feel comfortable in our tour, he did an excellent job. We had never been in Egypt before, we felt very safe, we loved this country and it's friendly and welcoming poeple. I got more than 1K photos, I felt that I can't get enough from those amazing Egyptian sites. I highly recommend to visit this country don't hesitate you will never regret and don't listen to the rumors. Personally I will visit it again and again.

Lagos, Nigeria"Excellent guide, beautiful area"
We booked ahead with Usama, but researched other companies and prices. We wanted to have a full packed day with balloon ride in the morning (with a quality operator - who was also well-rated). Usama was still finishing another trip, so we were scheduled to go with Michael, who picked us up very late at the airport, took us to our hotel, and picked us up early the next morning for a full day. We thought Michael was great - history knowledge, good communicator, great sense of humor, and added some interesting stories to the general history to make it more interesting (and stick a bit more). He also wasn't imposing - told us the history. Gave us time to wander around. We had the expert

Marbella, Spain"A Journey of incredible places! Absolutely stunning..."
My son and myself just finished a 10 day tour of Egypt starting with 3 days in Cairo then jumping on a 50 min local flight down to Luxor and Aswan to begin a Nile Cruise for 5 days. Every part of the trip was just flawless, and I mean flawless! Osama made us feel like VIP's with highly informative tour guides provided both in Cairo and Luxor. Clean, safe vehicles for transfers and days trips. There was several things we wanted to do whilst in Egypt which we not on the normal request such as a dawn camel ride to watch the sunrise over the pyramids and within minutes it was sorted! It was always "No Problem!" A month before we arrived Osama's customer service for answering our questions was great. We had never been to the Egypt before and like many others we had some negative preconceptions of not only the people but also the culture. How wrong we were.. Shamefully wrong... We felt very safe in Egypt, the people were friendly and are very happy to see tourists. They were smiling, polite and couldn't do enough for us. We found their humor was much like ours and they liked to have a laugh and a joke with us. The Temples and Tombs we saw included Karnak, Luxor, Rameses IV in the valley fnhe kings and Abu Simbel, to name just a few. The amazing thing about Egypt is not only were we looking at these monuments but actually touched these ancient stones! So breathtakingly awe-inspiring it makes ones mind cloud over as you simple can not take in the magnitude and magnificence of these magical buildings. I did a lot of research before I booked and I'm so pleased we went with Journey to Egypt as we without doubt got the best value or money and first class service. Our Nile Cruise boat was beautiful with is 1920's Art Deco feel, served great food and the staff were very friendly. Mazen in Cairo, George in Luxor and Omana for all our day trips did an outstanding job. I wouldn't use anyone else in egypt but them!
