• 3Stick to the itinerary

  Overall, everything went fine with the tour and camel ride photos came out nice, but after the tour we were taken to a papyrus store, which was not part of the itinerary. It turned out to be an off putting attempt to extract more money out of tourists.

• 5Hazem is an Exceptional Guide!

  This was my second time to Egypt and of course I had to book my tours with Emo. They are reliable, safe, have great prices but more specifically our tour guide Hazem! He is exceptional and I highly recommend him. He takes THEE best photos,,you learn important history and makes you feel safe throughout the tours. We did the pyramids, hanging church, cave church, musuem, sphinx and sunset cruise with him. He goes above and beyond! When you book Emo tours, ask for Hazem…you’ll enjoy yourself!
