A Magical Evening: The Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids with Abanoub
Our first evening in Egypt was made magical by the Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids, with Abanoub as our guide. From the start, Abanoub’s passion for Egypt’s history set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The show itself was mesmerizing—blending vibrant lights with captivating narration that brought the ancient monuments to life. Abanoub added extra depth, sharing fascinating insights between scenes, making the history feel even more real. The atmosphere was surreal, as the Pyramids glowed under the night sky, and the storytelling made us feel connected to Egypt’s rich past. Abanoub was attentive, ensuring we had the best views and answered all our questions. This show was a perfect introduction to our trip, with its combination of art, history, and culture. A must-do experience, especially with such an expert guide. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start their Egyptian adventure in awe.

Enriching Moments For The Solo Traveler
Excellent Trip! Throughout the trip, the guide Ahmed and the driver Mohamed were pleasant to talk too and gave enjoyable company. Traveling solo felt more like an adventure of exploration rather than a tour. I highly recommend this experience to all those seeking for an enriching moments.

Side Trip to Mt Sinai from Cairo
Climbing Mt Sinai with my Wife, we didn’t know what to expect, starting at 2.30am we arrived at the top to witness a truly amazing Sunrise, I’m 72 and my wife 62 and it was a hard climb especially the last 700 steps which are rough flat rocks. The view from the top is incredible will worth the trip from Cairo, The Monastery of St Catherine which we visited is very beautiful it’s a 6hr drive but our Guide Moses made it very enjoyable very knowledgeable not only about Egypt but other neighbouring countries we were very lucky to have him. The food was local mixed grill very good. Accommodation 1 night is country style don’t expect much because St Catherine is not a resort it’s a Bedouin community truly amazingly friendly people. Security in Sinai is full on lots of checkpoints but Moses made it so smooth. To do the climb you need to be reasonably fit, but if not there are Camels to take near to the top, our friends did this and loved the experience. Again thank you for a wonderful side trip from Cairo
Response from the operator: Good day to you our valuable guest. 💝 It was an absolute privilege to arrange your tour in Egypt. We are speechless experiencing how your review made our day in a wonderful way! A million thanks will not be enough for taking the time to write such a brilliant review.

Emy - amazing Cairo guide
We booked through Egypt Portal Tours for our 10 day trip and had Emy as our guide for the 2 days we spent in Cairo. We’ve visited the Giza pyramids, sphinx, saqqara pyramid, egyptian museum, old cairo and the bazaar. She’s very knowledgeable, patient and was always happy to answer the many questions we had and she knows all the good spots for photos :)

Great experience with very helpful tour guid👍🏻
I had a great experience with the Egypt Tours Portal, I’ve spent four days in Cairo and Giza. Visited many places in both the city. This agency gives you the best service in the cheap price. Food was great. My tour guid Yassar was very very helpful. Very friendly. I am a travel lager, I’ve travelled to many places but Yassar was the best tour guid till date. If anyone comes to Egypt I will suggest Egypt Tours Portal.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Trip To Mount Sinai & St Catherine From Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Trip To Mount Sinai & St Catherine From Cairo cost?
+
Prices start at $348 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 Trip To Mount Sinai & St Catherine From Cairo 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 Trip To Mount Sinai & St Catherine From Cairo 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 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Trip To Mount Sinai & St Catherine From Cairo?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Trip To Mount Sinai & St Catherine From Cairo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Trip To Mount Sinai & St Catherine From Cairo?
+
Around 8 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 Trip To Mount Sinai & St Catherine From 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.
