  • 1Conpletely unprofessional, unsafe, not as described

    Just horrible experience, the transfer we agreed did not happen. Driver was 30minutes late at 01:50LT with no info of being late. After contacting our agent he reassured us driver is almost here or in 2 minutes he will be etc. Driver didn’t speak a word of english and we could’t tell if he was working for agency or not. Whole thing was shady and unsafe and considering these things we didn’t travel to Cairo. Avoid Egyptra at all costs.

  • 1Tour not as described — unsafe conditions

    The agreed transfer by minivan from our hotel in Hurghada at 1:20 a.m. was not provided. The driver did not show up at the scheduled time, and only after contacting the agent we were told he was “delayed”. After waiting 30 minutes, a man arrived in a private car (not a minivan), without any identification or proof of representing the agency, and unable to communicate in English. For safety reasons, we declined to travel in those conditions. Would not recommend.

    We got private transfer option and we had a very safe driver hassaan who was incredibly punctual and caring he got us stocked up on water and breakfast and drinks and checked in with us constantly to tell us what is happening at each point. Then we got to meet the tour guide who showed us around the egyptian museum.He Read hieroglyphics on each different ancient artifact and was incredibly informative he also bought us ice cream. We visited the pyramids of Giza where he took lots of cool photos for us. And the great sphinx. Amazing trip would recommend the nicest people ever

  • 5A trip worthwhile for many reasons

    This is a long day but oh my goodness, so very worth it. The Museum was mind-blowing, lunch was nice and if course the Pyramids! I can't describe how emotional I was. Magnificent! Hotel pick up and drop off was spot on time. Fantastic, friendly drivers and a great guide whilst in Cairo. Sensational!

  • 5Pyramids of Giza & Bedouin village (stargazing) from Hurgharda

    I travelled with my mum with this company and I don't regret. The crews were nice and polite to us, we saw everything what we should according agenda. I bought both trips through egyptra local page. Pyramid trip - we went by small Van but it was modern, space in van maybe for 10 people, we were just 5 travelers - it was possible to sleep in van(bring with you small pillow as recommended). It was lots of hours in the van but travel agency cant make the route shorter. Little bit of communication/language barrier but google translator helped us and when driver understood what we want he was willing to fulfill our wishes without problems. Listen to your guide - when he will tell you go see the Sphinx do that, markets near the Sphinx can wait. The space to see/near the Sphinx is limited so you can wait a little to get a good angle for photos or for view. Perfume factory - it was one of the stops, I red reviews that they force you to buy perfumes - it was not our experience, when we said no, we will not buy anything, no one forced us to buy. Nile cruise and Best view of pyramids (via cart or camel) - are addons we bought them during the trip. Small advice - if you will take camel to this view, camel cant lie on the view spot (too rocky terrain for that). If you want pictures on your feet just take a cart. Bedouin village - interesting trip to see stars and moon (almost) without light smog. Also explained how villages like this work and a little of camel ride. Photographer was with crew, will do photos through the trip and you can choose if you will buy photos from him or not.

About Hurghada

Hurghada is a Red Sea resort town on Egypt's mainland coast, loved for its coral reefs, warm water, desert excursions and easy beach days.

The town stretches along the shore, from the older district of El Dahar with its souk and fish market to the marina at Sakkala and the resort strip to the south. Offshore, the reefs and islands of the Red Sea teem with colourful fish and coral gardens, and dolphins are sometimes seen, making snorkelling and diving the main draws.
