Our trip to Egypt was truly special. While every ancient site was breathtaking, the most memorable moment came during our Nile cruise. Our guide, Ahmed, saw our genuine curiosity about local life. He arranged for us to take a small boat to a remote village, where we shared mint tea with a local family. Sitting on their rooftop, we watched the sunset over the river and listened to their stories,

The True Heart of Egypt

The transition between countries was completely seamless, and the coordination between the teams in Egypt and Jordan was flawless. It felt like one continuous, well-planned journey.

A Fantastic Journey with Unexpected Costs

I was worried about the long drive, but the private vehicle was so comfortable and our guide was an absolute expert. He made the time fly by with incredible stories and details about the sites. Seeing the Valley of the Kings in person was a spiritual experience.

A Day That Felt Like a Week

I have always wanted to do a hot air balloon ride, and Luxor was the perfect place. The team was so organized from the hotel pick-up to the smooth landing. The flight itself was so peaceful, and the view of the Nile and the fertile lands was beautiful. A must-do.

A Dream Come True

Our two teenagers were initially skeptical about a "history trip," but this tour won them over completely. The sheer scale of the Pyramids and the mystery of the Sphinx blew them away. The hot air balloon ride over Luxor was an unforgettable highlight, giving them a real thrill. The guides were great at balancing historical facts with interesting stories, making it fun for the whole f

The food on this tour was simply outstanding! I'm a self-proclaimed foodie, and the meals on the Nile cruise were a consistent highlight. From traditional Egyptian dishes to delicious international cuisine, everything was fresh and expertly prepared. Paired with the breathtaking sights of Karnak and Luxor Temples, this trip was a feast for all the senses.

A Culinary and Cultural Delight

I felt so safe and secure from the moment I landed in Cairo. The team was always there to greet us with a warm smile, and the professionalism of the drivers and guides was outstanding. I never once worried about my well-being. It was a completely worry-free vacation.

A Feeling of Complete Security and Comfort

Our family's trip to Egypt was a dream. The Pyramids amazed us all, and cruising the Nile was pure magic. Our guide made history exciting for the kids! A perfect family adventure. Highly recommend Memphis Tours.

An Unforgettable Journey Through Ancient Egypt!

I was a bit nervous about the height, but once we were up there, all my fear was gone. It was so quiet and tranquil.

Simply Magical

Our group of friends chose this tour, and it was a phenomenal experience. The guides were charismatic and funny, making the days of sightseeing feel like a fun outing rather than a history lesson. We especially enjoyed the horse-and-carriage ride at Edfu, which was a fun and memorable part of the trip. The cruise ship offered a great space for us to relax and socialize in the evenings.
