An excellent experience with some bad times...
Highlights: guides and representative in Cairo It’s fair to start by recognizing the best of the trip: guides Khaled Zain and George Adel are brilliant professionals, both with graduate degrees in Egyptology. Their knowledge, dedication and resolve were fundamental pillars of the experience. Along the same lines, Mohamed Taha Mohamed, representative in Cairo, demonstrated great commitment and efficiency in resolving the problems that others generated. Also worth mentioning is the team of drivers, especially in Cairo, where chaotic traffic requires considerable skill and patience. The Chateau Lafayette cruise ship: upgradeable is an aging vessel and somewhat neglected in its maintenance. The food is acceptable and the staff is attentive, but the overall condition of the boat does not live up to expectations. Fortunately, thanks to the management of the guide Khaled Zain — and not at the initiative of the representative, who again ignored the situation — we were transferred on the last day to the MS DWA, an excellent cruise ship where the experience improved markedly, also because of the warmth and professionalism of Meli, responsible for public relations of the cruise. Hilton Ramses: mixed results The hotel has a noticeable difference according to the assigned floor. From the 21st floor, this is a well-maintained four-star accommodation. The rooms on the lower floors, on the other hand, are visibly outdated and do not match the category of the property. Mohamed Taha Mohamed managed us room on the 21st floor with an amazing view. What failed: management and responsibility of the adviser and 2 of the representatives. Herein lies the main problem of travel. Representative Asmaa promised and reported conditions that were not met later — linked to the hotel reservation and the beverages included in the cruise. We can all make mistakes, but what is truly reprehensible is that, in the face of the claims, he chose to get rid of the problem without offering any solution. Representatives in Luxor (Daif Mohamed Saeed) and Aswan (Ali Hassan Ahmed Mohamed) followed the same pattern: neither took responsibility nor managed the inconveniences presented. Added to this was a unilateral change in the itinerary of the last day, rearranged to adapt the tour to Abu Simbel to the schedules of another couple. As compensation, included drinks were offered, but the representative communicated this concession to the ship hours late and, when changing vessels, it became invalid. The concrete result: two beers and two sodas as compensation for all the accumulated inconveniences, plus drinks from the last lunch in Cairo. Excellent the two Zeeyara restaurants one is pyramid friendly and the other in Cairo, both the setting and Egyptian food. Conclusion: Excellent guides Khaled Zain and George Adel are brilliant professionals. Also Mohamed Taha Mohamed, representative in Cairo. And Meli from MS DWA, all of them made the experience exceptional. But if the experience depended solely on Asmaa and representatives of Luxor and Aswan, I would not recommend Memphis Tours under any circumstances. Memphis Tours has top-notch human resources; the problem is who manages the contingencies and how they respond when things don’t go well.
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por tomarse el tiempo de compartir una opinión tan detallada y honesta. Nos alegra sinceramente saber que su experiencia con los guías Khaled Zain y George Adel fue tan positiva. Su profesionalismo, conocimiento y dedicación son valores que apreciamos profundamente. También nos complace que Mohamed Taha Mohamed haya podido asistirle de manera eficiente en El Cairo, así como saber que disfrutó de los restaurantes y de ciertos momentos del viaje. Al mismo tiempo, lamentamos sinceramente los inconvenientes que experimentó durante su viaje. Entendemos perfectamente lo frustrante que puede ser cuando ciertos aspectos no cumplen con las expectativas, especialmente en temas de organización, comunicación y gestión de imprevistos. Este no es el estándar de servicio que buscamos ofrecer. Sus comentarios son muy valiosos para nosotros y serán revisados internamente con el equipo correspondiente, ya que estamos comprometidos a mejorar continuamente, especialmente en la coordinación y respuesta ante situaciones inesperadas. Agradecemos nuevamente su feedback, tanto por resaltar a los miembros del equipo que hicieron una diferencia positiva, como por señalar las áreas donde debemos mejorar. Esperamos tener la oportunidad de ofrecerle una experiencia mucho más consistente en el futuro.

Best 2-Day Ancient Egypt and Old Cairo Highlights Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Best 2-Day Ancient Egypt and Old Cairo Highlights Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Best 2-Day Ancient Egypt and Old Cairo Highlights Tour take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is Best 2-Day Ancient Egypt and Old Cairo Highlights Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Best 2-Day Ancient Egypt and Old Cairo Highlights Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Best 2-Day Ancient Egypt and Old Cairo Highlights Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Best 2-Day Ancient Egypt and Old Cairo Highlights Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best 2-Day Ancient Egypt and Old Cairo Highlights Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
