Great Guide, poor payment advice

I booked a private day tour for 3 ppl from Sharm El Sheikh to Mount Sinai, altering their day plan from their regular schedule, and Egypt Tours was very accompanying. The guide they gave us a great guide Omar, and he was great in explaining the Sinai Peninsula and the history of Moses and St Catherine. He also ensured we had a good guide to the top of Mt Sinai. Unfortunately while the tour guide was great Egypt Tours Club executed a few things very poorly: 1. they told our guide the wrong hotel (there are two resorts of similar name, and I had worked hard to give the full name of the correct resort) resulting in us waiting around from 6:00-6:50 in the morning without breakfast and pushing our lunch back a subsequent hour making it a long hangry morning. Accidents happen and this was just a bit unfortunate 2. I paid the deposit and was to pay the remaining amount in cash to the guide. The amount was $250 USD, but as we are in Egypt and all atms only disperse EGP we only had pounds. In converting the tour operator quoted us 28 pounds to the dollar which was 12% more than the official rate as well as the rate we had been told at the dive shop, coffee shop, resort, all over Cairo the week before. When I pushed back the rate had switched to 32 pounds to 1 dollar, and he explained that I just didn’t understand that there was an official rate and a market rate. What I did understand was that at no time in the past two years was the official exchange rate over 25.7 pounds to the dollar, nor had it ever risen 5 pounds in one day even back in October when it jumped from 19 to 22, and finally as noted before we had been given price in dollars at coffee shops/restaurants/resorts and more over the previous 10 days which all converted at the given rate of 25 to 1. I felt scammed and fleeced from the tour operator, and it really did not sit well with me. If working with them I would only pay in USD over paypal, or confirm price way in advance, as being given an arbitrary exchange rate 12%- 28% more expensive than the official and local market actions is a scam.

Very detailed and helpful!

I was visiting friends in Cairo and decided I wanted to do the Mt Sinai hike as this was my first visit to Egypt. I had a difficult time finding a tour company that could secure this trip on such short notice and also because I was hesitant doing this on my own (female traveler). I finally found Egypt Tours Club and contacted them with my requests. They were very understanding and accommodating and helped set up an itinerary within a few hours. The tour included pick up at my friends’ place in Maadi, flights through EgyptAir, pick up at Sharm El-Sheik and the transportation and tour up to Mt. Sinai, including return transportation to Sharm El-Sheik. They even helped me set up a tour in Sharm as I had a long wait between my arrival to the airport and the start of the tour (sunrise hike). They contacted me along the way with details about the driver, type of car, and even just to see how I was doing! I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them for my next trip to Egypt (yes- already planning my return).

Mount Sinai And St Catherine Night Tour From Cairo By Bus Private: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Mount Sinai And St Catherine Night Tour From Cairo By Bus Private cost?

+

Prices start at $571 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 Mount Sinai And St Catherine Night Tour From Cairo By Bus Private 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 Mount Sinai And St Catherine Night Tour From Cairo By Bus Private worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 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 Mount Sinai And St Catherine Night Tour From Cairo By Bus Private?

+

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 Mount Sinai And St Catherine Night Tour From Cairo By Bus Private suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 16. 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 Mount Sinai And St Catherine Night Tour From Cairo By Bus Private?

+

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 Mount Sinai And St Catherine Night Tour From Cairo By Bus Private 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.
