Fun times in Cairo!

I took the 5-day tour in Egypt (Cairo and Luxor) from this company. When I arrived in Cairo, I was picked up by a driver and drove me to the hotel. I stayed at Azal hotel which is nice, and also the breakfast was included. The following day, I was picked up by the driver name, Salwa, and met my tour guide, Aya El Ayouty (whats upp# +201102294143). She's an excellent guide. After the day tour, they dropped me of at the train station for a sleeper train. Note: Read the entirety of the brochure especially the "additional services", the sleep train cost is not included. I did not read it so I was surprised when I was asked to pay for the sleeper train which is $180. The train is an overnight ride and when I arrived in Luxor, I was greeted by my tour guide, Mohammed, (whatsapp# +201552669877). Mohammed is very intelligent and well knowledgeable about the Egyptian history. For those who love Egyptian history and want to learn a lot, I suggest to contact Mohammed directly to be your guide. It's just unfortunate for me because I did not get enough sleep at the sleeper train and did not consume enough coffee when I arrived in Luxor, thus, my brain is not equipped to retain all the information that Mohammed shared with me. Enough excuses, I was just not smart enough to remember all the details. Anyway, Mohammed is an excellent guide. After Luxor, I took the sleeper train again to go back to Cairo. I took the additional tour to go to Alexandria. At Cairo station, I was picked up by Ahmed and drove me to Alexandria. Once I arrived in Alexandria, my tour guide Nesroo (whatsapp#+201123092661), greeted me and started my tour to see the highlights of Alexandria. Once the tour is done, Ahmed drove me back to Cairo, back to my hotel at Azal. My last day in Cairo, I was picked up by Salwa and took me to the airport. In summary, I enjoyed this tour and totally recommend this tour. I read a previous review that this company needed more organization. For me, I took the initiative to message the tour operator, through whatsup, to confirm the pick up time and location for my next tour activity. In this way, there's no confusion and also kind of reminding the operator of your schedule. Hope this review helps. Have fun on your visit to Egypt.

Spending more time in a shop than pyramids:-(

Our tour guide, Ms. Marwa did not follow the established itinerary of that day. We started with visiting the museum (as stated in the itinerary) and then proceeded with the felucca boat ride (which was not a real felucca, but that did not bother me too much). However, what really frustrated me was that, despite the fact that we were ALREADY late when we departed from Alexandria, Ms. Marwa spent at least 30 minutes sorting us into 3 or 4 different groups. I can’t speak to what happened with the other groups, but for us, by the time we finished with the boat, it was already 1pm. According to the itinerary provided, we were supposed to go to the pyramids from 12-3pm, which should have given us plenty of time to enjoy what many would consider the highlight of this tour. Instead, we were taken to a perfume shop, where we spent over an hour of our limited and precious time listening to a sales pitch. After the perfume shop, it was already after 2pm - I thought we should at least start heading for the pyramids at that point. However, Ms. Marwa decided we needed to go get lunch first. I understand that everyone needs to eat, but given that we were already running so late, I believe everyone in the group would have settled for just something quick, like chips or sandwiches to save some time. Instead, we were at the restaurant until way past 3pm. By the time we finally arrived to the pyramids, it was already 3:46pm! So, we did not get to walk around the pyramids - we only got to drive around in the bus. We did get our camel ride from the back side of the pyramids, but we were asked to leave by 4:37pm because they were closing. I was especially frustrated because we spent less time at the pyramids than at the perfume shop. We flew across the ocean and spent over 15 hours on a plane and 3 hours drive to Cairo specifically to see and properly admire the pyramids, one of the wonders of the world. If you think we need to pay more for the tour to get enough time there, I would encourage you to charge more. Please do not waste our precious time on sales pitches. Given current world events, we are not sure if we will ever have a chance to come back again in the future. To me, this is UNACCEPTABLE!!!! Our priority on this tour should have been the pyramids, which is clearly supposed to be the highlight of the tour.

Trip to Alexandria

A very windy area being close to the sea! The citadel is a structural beauty which one has to marvel at. Take care of your cap and glasses lest it fly off by the strong winds. Worth a watch if you are visiting Alexandria 👍

Cairo Stopover Day Tour to Giza Pyramids And Egyptian Museum & Old Cairo: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.

How much does Cairo Stopover Day Tour to Giza Pyramids And Egyptian Museum & Old Cairo cost?

+

Prices start at $4 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 Cairo Stopover Day Tour to Giza Pyramids And Egyptian Museum & Old Cairo take?

+

Plan for about 8 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 Cairo Stopover Day Tour to Giza Pyramids And Egyptian Museum & Old Cairo worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 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 Cairo Stopover Day Tour to Giza Pyramids And Egyptian Museum & Old Cairo?

+

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 Cairo Stopover Day Tour to Giza Pyramids And Egyptian Museum & Old Cairo suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Cairo Stopover Day Tour to Giza Pyramids And Egyptian Museum & Old Cairo?

+

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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Cairo Stopover Day Tour to Giza Pyramids And Egyptian Museum & Old Cairo 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.
