    Overall rating

    4.4 / 5

    based on 27,631 reviews

    The experience was great! Even at the first I was scared because of the armed people at the entry. Be prepared to see armed groups of men at the entrance. What i did not like was the fact that the bedouin village they make us buy some creams at 5 usd, and they said that the price was in order to help locals, but is pretty much evident that the village is built there for tourists. Also DO NOT BUY anything from the stores there. They will ask you 15 times more than the real price. The sellers there are thieves.

    From Hurghada: 3-Hour Desert Safari by Quad Bike Reviewed by Paula, 1/13/2021

    Good drivers, the guide was also very open and provided useful information. The mini bus is in a very good condition and was very clean. Even the capacity for was about 15, we were only 6 tourists. Booked the trip one day before. Communication with the travel agent was as well very good. The total value of the additional entries was 580 egipt pounds(Karnak, Valley of the kings and hatshepsut). Is better to have local money and not usd or eur, as they adjust the rate in their favor.

    East and West Banks of Luxor: Full Day Tour from Hurghada Reviewed by Paula, 1/13/2021

    The best boat trip I’ve ever been on, the yacht was stunning! The staff were amazing, especially the barman I think his name was Saeed, he took great care of us. Really was an incredible trip. The food was amazing!!! Really never expected anything so spectacular! Only thing to note is the massage isn’t included as mentioned in the listing it’s an add on. Otherwise everything is included in the price and I’m glad we went! Memories to treasure. Thank you

    Hurghada: Luxury Sailing Trip to Orange Bay with Lunch Reviewed by Anonymous, 1/8/2021

    The trip was super fun, our guide was super funny and entertaining. We first went on quadbikes, and then spider bikes and a jeep ride to the bedouins where we rode camels and learnt about the Bedouin way of life and herbal medicines. We then ended the evening with a belly dancing show and Tanoura. Thank you again for everything!
