Moments That Mattered – From Our Adventurers

The trip to Luxor and Aswan was so beautiful, and it touched my soul. As a 50-year-old woman traveling with my husband, we had a wonderful time reconnecting to our love of history, and Egypt was always a place we wanted to explore together.

Lindsey Hunt

Trip to Luxor and Aswan

"Honestly, Egypt blew my expectations out of the water! As a 25-year-old, I thought I knew what to expect from the pyramids, but seeing them in person is wow! And the energy in Cairo and its people, Mind-blowing!! Highly recommend for anyone looking for adventure and a deep dive into history!"

Adam Hank

Pyramids

Siwa was the getaway I needed after working 12-hour shifts for the last 2 quarters that were complete bananas. The sheer ancient history around every corner was just epic, and the silence was all I longed for. It's a country that genuinely changes your perspective.

Peter Shaun

Siwa

It's my second time and not the last time with you guys, re-visiting Sharm el-Sheikh was so fun, especially this time with all my girlfriends, where everyone was so helpful, the weather was sunny, and we got our tans on. I’d definitely do it again soon!

Fleur Hartley

Sharm el-Sheikh

We decided to go to Egypt on our honeymoon. Everyone thought we would go to Bali, but we decided we wanted to start our lives with adventure, history, and good food. We went all over Egypt, Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, Alexandria, and Fayoum, each place had a special memory in our hearts.

Luna & Liam Ming

Adventure

“ THE BIG 3-0! I decided to go on a solo trip to celebrate myself, all on my own, to celebrate 3 decades of my hard work and dedication. I decided that adventure was the thing I needed to start the newest journey. The people were so kind and warm, and extremely helpful in the entire paperwork and procedures, and I’d recommend them to my friends and family.”

Sofia Rodrigez

Solo trip

"What a phenomenal trip to Egypt with our wonderful group! We enjoyed every moment, from the breathtaking scale of the Sphinx to the peaceful felucca rides on the Nile. The pace was perfect, allowing us to truly appreciate each historical marvel without feeling rushed. It was a journey of comfort, discovery, and delightful camaraderie. Highly recommend for friends seeking both relaxation and profound wonder."

Joseph Jordan

“As neighbors and long-term friends, we decided to go on a trip together after our kids graduated from college and got married! The travel arrangements made were so simple and allowed us to explore places like Luxor's temples and the Valley of the Kings, an absolute joy. We loved sharing these majestic sights, reminiscing, and making new memories together. For any retired group looking for a comfortable yet incredibly enriching adventure, Egypt is the perfect choice."

"El Fayoum with the boys? 10/10. We hit the dunes, tried sandboarding for the first time (epic fails and epic wins!), and just soaked in waterfalls and the desert. It's rugged, it's real, and it's awesome for a guys’ trip.”

Mo Elakad

El Fayoum

"If you're looking to truly venture, Saint Catherine and El Minya are an absolute must. Saint Catherine offered a profound spiritual journey; climbing Mount Sinai for sunrise and exploring the ancient monastery felt like stepping into a biblical epic. Then, transitioning to El Minya was a fascinating shift; seeing the vivid tomb paintings at Beni Hassan felt like discovering secret chapters of ancient Egyptian history.”

Sarah Cameron

Saint Catherine and El Minya

“As A history major, Egypt is the one who wrote the guidelines and structures on how to have a rich history and how to preserve it, I wanted to explore it for myself and not just in textbooks. I found Egypt Tours Way, and I witnessed firsthand the passion, knowledge, and gracefulness of information delivery and guidance from the tour guides & Egyptologists. Everything was smooth, even the logistics and operations from start to finish. Recommended to all.”
