Wonderful trip
Our tour guides Jimmy and Ahmed made our trip memorial. Giza was fabulous and Jimmy explained the tombs origins in detail ( speaks English fluently). I would do it again in a minute if I were guaranteed that they would be our guides. Ahmed’s wife has a cooking show and I’d love to get her Facebook info (I tried to buy a cake from her but alas time was too short). Also make sure u get the liver sandwich in Alexandria. Unbelievably good. Altogether it was a wonderful trip

Egypt Short Break - 5 Days (Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor)
Youssa was a wonderful tour guide and we had an absolutely incredible time. The company listened to our traveling desires and graciously incorporated an itinerary that met our interests. Luxor and Alexandria were wonderful, especially watching the sunrise over the Nile via a hot air balloon ride. Riding camels near the pyramids was also magnificent. I would recommend this tour company. It was a memorable vacation that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the kind words,! We’re so happy your visit at Egypt went so smoothly. Would you mind sharing with your friends who are due for a check-up, too? We’d love to continue providing great service to awesome patients like you.

5 Days to Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria
Egypt Tours Club did a really nice job of setting up a tour for my group somewhat last minute after our first tour was canceled. We were a bit underprepared by not being told our hotel address until arriving at the hotel and that no one would be able to help us purchase visas. I cannot express how fantastic Youssa and Hussam were. My group felt completely safe and comfortable with them and their abilities. Our trip to Luxor was a bit of a logistical nightmare and we were left to sit in a cafe for 4 hours before sitting in the airport for 3 more. We also felt the cultural difference more in Luxor than in the other cities. I will say the part that I disliked the most was being taken to "museums/shops" that were really tourist traps to get us to buy. We truly felt pressured to buy after watching a 5 minute presentation on what the "museum" offered. It was not cool. The provided meals were actually very good and the restaurants in Luxor and Alexandria have awesome views of waterfronts. We did not do any of the extra trips like a boat ride on the Nile since we felt like it would take too long in the heat. We preferred air conditioning. The traffic in Egypt is pretty congested and there is a lot of pollution in which case you may want to bring extra allergy medication. Overall, we had a really nice time exploring the ancient histories of Egypt, and truly felt like this once in a lifetime opportunity was taken seriously by Egypt Tours Club.

Great tour with an amazing guide
Did the 5 day Cairo/Luxor/Alexandria tour as a solo traveler with Mohamed. I can go on about the tour itself, but the highlight of my trip to Egypt was my guide Mohamed. From the first meeting with him at the airport, I could tell he was passionate about his job by his enthusiasm. His extensive knowledge and passion from studying archaeology set the tone for the entire trip. The enthusiasm never faltered as we toured the Giza pyramids, Egyptian museum, and Islamic Cairo. During long car rides (such as to Alexandria, or just stuck in Cairo's traffic), Mohamed and I connected effortlessly, to the point where I felt like I was traveling with an old friend. In addition, I was most impressed by his ability to stay calm and adapt in stressful situations such as Cairo traffic, lack of parking availability, and unexpected closures due to holidays. Overall, this was an amazing trip to see the pyramids, valley of the Kings, and tombs that you've seen in travel books and tourism blogs. What you won't find in these books and blogs, however, is Mohamed, who is able to give you that human connection with Egypt.

Egypt Short Break for 5 days, Small group: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Egypt Short Break for 5 days, Small group cost?
+
Prices start at $1010 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 Egypt Short Break for 5 days, Small group take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 Egypt Short Break for 5 days, Small group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 Egypt Short Break for 5 days, Small group?
+
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 Egypt Short Break for 5 days, Small group suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Egypt Short Break for 5 days, Small group?
+
Around 2 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Egypt Short Break for 5 days, Small group 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.
