This trip was truly awesome...particularly at the price point! What made the experience work well were the outstanding guides in Cairo and Luxor as well as the facilitator for the arrival and departing at the airports supplied by Wingbuddy’s agents on sight in Egypt.

J'ai adoré ce voyage! Nous étions 5 dans le groupe. Très agréable. Je recommanderais ce voyage, surtout pour l'égypte. Une seule chose: Les pyramides et le musé. On gagnerait à faire les deux mais en 2 jrs. En une seule journée c trop court et dense. Je crois qu'il faudrait rajouter une journée au voyage et ce serait parfait. En 11 jrs plutôt que 10. Sinon, guide, chambre et visite: très agréable! Merci pour tout. Jakou.

Is it a guaranteed departure?

Yes, all our departures are guaranteed.

What is the group size?

Is triple occupancy available?

Triple occupancy is not available for this package. The reason is that the cabin on the cruise ship and the private compartment on the train can only accommodate 2 people.

Is it safe to go on this tour?

Yes, this package is very secure. At all times, you will be taken care of by your local expert guide who will accompany you everywhere you need to go. The places you will visit along the Valley of the Nile are no longer under travel advisory from the Government of Canada. All of our clients who took this tour have felt very secure throughout their entire stay. They have expressed their satisfaction to have finally been able to make their dream come true.

There is a sink and an electrical outlet you can use, the bathroom is in the hallway. The sleeping arrangements are bunk beds and you will have a pillow, sheets and a blanket. It is definitely a local experience worth doing!
