We went with Amr for our three-day trip to Siwa Oasis, and he was a very, very good driver. He takes safety seriously, so even though the drive is about eight hours each way, we felt comfortable the whole time. He also doubled as our guide. He showed us around, told us about the history of Siwa, and pointed out the best spots for photos. He was very attentive too. He kept checking what we wanted to eat and what we wanted to see, and the places he took us were excellent, especially the restaurants. The food was very good. I enjoyed the trip very much and would happily recommend Amr to anyone heading to Siwa.

Trip to Siwa Oasis: 11/10. Thank you, Amr. When my girlfriend and I started looking at Siwa, we had some real reservations. The drive is long (about 750 km), there are no flights, and the oasis is remote. Most tours felt overly commercial—long bus rides, rigid itineraries, and mixed reviews. We were cautious. Luxury Tours (found through Viator) stood out, and for the days we spent there we lived like a king and queen on a flexible oasis adventure. We made space for a 4-day/3-night trip with Luxury Tours, and it became a highlight of my life. Activities & Itinerary Amr picked us up in a luxury SUV and we drove comfortably along the desert highway to Siwa. After dropping bags at the hotel, we headed into the Sahara in a 4x4, racing up and down the dunes. We stopped at a desert oasis for fresh juice and a natural hot spring, then sandboarded while Amr and Mahmood set up a small fire. We drank tea and ate fruit as the sun set over the dunes. Cloud cover kept us from the full night sky, but the evening was still magical. We finished with dinner at a cozy oasis restaurant before returning to the hotel. The next morning we visited the Shali Fortress and Amun Temple, then had lunch at Cleopatra’s private pool (the famous Siwa juice is excellent). Afterward we swam in the salt lakes—Amr arranged a private one so we could take photos and enjoy the water in peace. The beauty is hard to describe. We rinsed off at Cleopatra’s pool, ate a generous dinner, and went shopping. Siwa’s dates and olives are exceptional, and the shops were quieter and less pushy than ones we’d visited elsewhere. The goods felt handmade and high-quality; we brought home a lot of souvenirs and left genuinely happy. To end the night, Amr took us to a private hot spring and secured a rooftop so we could finally see and photograph the stars. On our last morning we visited the Mountain of the Dead before the long drive back. Our Stay Siwa feels simpler and quieter than the big cities—smaller roads, less crowding, a sense of stepping back in time. We still had cell service most of the time, the hotel and restaurants had Wi-Fi, and people were consistently kind and welcoming. From the first night we were greeted warmly, offered samples to share rather than sell, and treated with real respect. Food Every meal was generous and the juices were fresh. I eat a lot and still struggled to finish some dishes, especially the hotel breakfasts. In Siwa, try the Chicken with Olives—the local olives make it outstanding. The pizza was excellent too. At one of Amr’s favorite restaurants we had mahshy for the first time and I couldn’t stop eating it. The food looked beautiful and tasted even better; even after overeating I still felt light enough to keep going. Our Guide, Amr Amr was the standout. Having worked in the service industry for years, I know attention to detail is everything, and he had it. He handled our bags carefully, handed us snack packages for the drive, and planned rest stops. He opened the door for my girlfriend at every stop, drove carefully and comfortably, and always offered options instead of assuming. He knew the area’s history well and looked things up when he didn’t. He took great photos of us, reminded us to capture certain shots, and even drove us back to a shop when we realized we’d forgotten something. When clouds blocked the desert stars, he rearranged the evening so we could still stargaze from a rooftop. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Amr, thank you Luxury Tours, and thank you to the people of Siwa for a stay I’ll remember for the rest of my life. — Grayson Falkner, USA
First, this trip is worth it if you want to experience the salt water lake and sand safari. In my opinion these are the two main highlight of this trip. 1. It’s a long drive and the drive is not smooth so make sure you are up for 7+ hour drive each way and make sure your mode of transportation is roomy enough. 2. The eco lodge is what it sounds like. It has a bed and bathroom and shower water is Luke warm and low/med pressure. Just take a quick 5 min shower to be clean and look forward to taking a good shower when you get back. I stayed at Siwa palace and I don’t think you can get any better hotel than this in Siwa. 3. Odds of them following the exact itinerary is low, but they will cover all that is listed. Like it says lunch at Marsa Matrouh, but my lunch was in Siwa, I did the mountain of the dead tour on day one and sand safari on day two. I would suggest keeping the itinerary handy and keep asking your driver/guide questions on when you will be doing what. 4. Bring meds like pre-biotic etc. in case you get sick. Just carry general meds with you. One thing I absolutely hated about this trip and the country in general is forceful tipping. The tipping rule only applies to tourists as it’s not a local culture. I blame us (Americans) for spreading this tipping culture all around the world. In my opinion tipping should feel good and not be expected or forced. For example, my driver/guide comes to me and tells me that he tipped for my breakfast, lunch, dinners and I owe him 400 Egyptian pounds. When I did the sand safari he told me I should tip the driver $10 to $20 (500-1000 Egyptian pounds). Why do I need to be forced to tip and if I want to tip, I will tip whatever I want.
The trip is amazing, the itinerary is absolutely soo fabulous. The hot spring at the first day is so good and the lemongrass tea is soo tasty that we end-up bought some. The second is unbelievably marvellous, like the dead of the mountain is a must-go, and we loved the salt lake a lot (it’s a private one so you can enjoy your own time there). My favourite part is the safari. You will got the experience like riding a roller-coaster. We watched the sunset, and even the star night after refreshing in the desert, and we even see the desert fox there. Tldr it’s amazing and absolutely worth it, our tour guide Amr is soooooooooo gooooooooood🥹🙏🏻 And every other parts are so good, just hard to mention them by words. Please join this Siwa tour!! 腌尖香港人認證:呢個導遊超好,我本身以為係shared-group會好多人,end up係兩個人嘅細group。導遊手車勁好😂 成個trip嘅schedule都安排得好好,同埋感覺佢同當地人係超熟,所以完成0問題發生,可以放心join。同埋佢好貼心,喺salt lake玩完會有水沖一沖個身;喺沙漠見到狐狸嘅時候佢又幫手打燈,又用生果幫手引佢哋過嚟,務求你一定影到相。大癲,請join呢個tour🤣🙏🏻
What a fantastic day! Packed with fun activities and great vibes all around. The guide was super attentive to all our needs, and having the tour exclusively for our group made it feel so personal and relaxed. Highly recommend coming here with friends or family!
Nice experience with friends Driver & guide are very helpful & nice Siwa trip so great Recommend to go!!
We had an amazing experience! The guide was extremely passionate and attentive, making every stop memorable. The itinerary was rich, engaging, and filled with great sights. I would definitely join this tour again!
Our trip to Siwa Oasis was truly unforgettable! The scenery was breathtaking everywhere we went. We had an incredible time floating in the crystal-clear salt lakes, soaking in the natural hot springs, and sandboarding down the majestic dunes. Exploring the historic temples and experiencing a peaceful salt sleep therapy were major highlights. A special thanks to our guide, whose warm hospitality and passion made the whole journey smooth and informative. Our hotel was also fantastic—spotlessly clean, quiet, and very comfortable. I highly recommend visiting Siwa for anyone seeking an authentic, magical desert escape!
Good for a full package of experiencing everything in Siwa Oasis, good tour guide
I’m so glad we booked this tour!! Siwa is a beautiful place but difficult to navigate (police checkpoints, unmarked roads, coordinating water to rinse off after the salt lake, calling restaurants ahead of time so food prep, etc.), so I was very thankful that our tour guide Jessy handled all those things for us and made it look easy. She was also very energetic, always ready to turn up, and ready ti make us laugh. I also appreciated the way she always made sure that I had good food to eat, even with my dietary restrictions.
We had an unbelievably amazing time on this tour, much thanks to our wonderful guide Jessy! She took care of all the details to perfection - picking the right places for us to observe and admire Siwa. Jessy accommodated our group’s requests and ensured that everyone’s needs were met. She provided the right mix of historic information and personal exploration time. Jessy is both knowledgeable and fun and she really made this experience unforgettable. Siwa is currently a hidden gem, but I suspect it won’t be for too long. I highly recommend this tour with Jessy as the tour guide.
Ahmet was a great guide and showed us Siwa. Wonderful trip and experience. The cherry on top for a trip to Egypt!
This was an incredible tour of Siwa with guide Jessi. She took care of our group like a mother and made it a memorable one with her care and friendliness. Our entertainment, comfort and safety was always paramount. The accommodation and the transportation was very comfortable. The group thoroughly enjoyed this experience.
We had the most amazing time in Siwa Oasis because we were taken care of very well by our guide Amr. He made sure we saw everything and was also flexible to what we wanted. Amr was incredibly kind and funny, we felt like we were travelling with a friend. He went above and beyond to make sure we had exciting and relaxing trip and that we were able to experience the absolute BEST of Siwa. Thank you for everything! John and Giulia
Siwa was amazing, the atmosphere, the people, the food and the stunning view was 100% worth the money! It is amazing that this paradise exists in the middle of the desert! The salt lakes and drive in the desert was one of my favorite things to experience ever! You will never experience anything like Siwa, and will want to go there again… but be ready for long car rides. Our guide Jessy was lovely and so nice, took many pictures and showed us good food. Overall, I would really recommend this tour, it’s a once in a lifetime experience and truly amazing.
Activities are amazing! Siwa is so beautiful and peaceful. It is a must go! Just be prepares to spend a lot of time in a car, it is a long journey to get to Siwa from Cairo and the roads around Siwa are very confucing(we had to turn around a lot) and not in a great condition, but tje views and the 5 million palm trees make up for it!! Our guide Jessy took us to amazing places (the desert was my fav!), she showed us good food and all the must see places in Siwa. She took so many pictures of everybody and was joyful.
Everything was organized perfectly and on time. Our guide, Hany, is simply the best. Knowledgeable, friendly and calm and made the whole experience very smooth. Don't miss out on the desert safari, a truly unforgettable experience!
Israa confirmed my reservation immediately despite the very late hour and responded promptly to every question I had. I truly appreciated the peace of mind this provided. Amr, who was both our driver and guide, approaches his work with care and respect for his travellers. He was punctual, polite and friendly throughout the trip. His cheerful spirit and resourcefulness brought a positive energy to the journey and made it a fun experience.
One of the best experiences of my life and my partners. Would recommend to everyone to do Our tour guide Mohamed was the best you could ask for and freind for life now
Mohammed has made our trip, he’s a lovely guide who is more like a friend than a guide and has took some amazing photos we will keep for life. We paid extra to go into the desert stargazing at night and I would definitely recommend to do this as the view of the Milky Way was insane. Accomodation has a pool which is nice to cool off after the journey from Cairo.
We had the best time in Siwa with our Guide Amr (Moro) and can really recommend it! We collected some unforgettable memories! We learned a lot about Siwa and enjoyed every single day of our 4 Day Trip. The Oasis is a very special place and felt like a paradise in the middle of the desert. Amr made us feel safe all the time and gave us the best time possible. We were really lucky to have him and couldn’t ask for more! 🏜️🐪🏝️🌞
Long drives, but very worth it! If you get Ahmed the driver and my tour guide is a true legend. The activities were far beyond my expectations. In fact it was probably the best part of my month of traveling in Egypt. The 4WD experience was a real rush and definitely the best part of it.
Siwa was a trip highlight! From the salt pools, to the magical sunsets, to the awesome heart pounding four wheel drive in the desert... this trip had it all! Our guide was excellent and full of interesting facts and tailored the trip to suit us! 100% would recommend this trip!
The experience overall was amazing! Great food, locations and schedule. The guide Muhammad was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout!
It was a fabulous experience. I’m glad we were not deterred by the long drive. The Siwan sites are spectacular, the tour guide was fantastic and very personable and knowledgeable. We had the best time. Stand outs are of course the salt lakes, the sand duning and lunch at Mataam Mama.
Hamy was a wonderful and understanding guide on this whirlwind of a tour around Siwa. From ancient tombs to salt lake ponds and late-night shopping in the market. We felt secure and enjoyed the best this magical oasis had to offer, not only a feast for the eyes but great for the taste buds too.
I had an absolutely phenomenal experience touring Siwa Oasis with Amr from Cairo! From start to finish, he was kind, friendly, hilarious, and incredibly welcoming. He made the entire experience feel comfortable and enjoyable, and his personality really made the trip special. Amr speaks phenomenal English and is extremely knowledgeable about Siwa, its history, culture, and the different places we visited. He was also very understanding and patient, and he made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire tour. He was also a phenomenal photographer/videographer. What really stood out to me was how much fun I had. Amr wasn’t just a tour guide — he genuinely made the experience feel like I was spending the day with someone who wanted me to have the best possible time. I learned so much, laughed a LOT, and got to experience Siwa in such a memorable way. If you’re visiting Siwa Oasis, I highly recommend booking with Amr. He was absolutely wonderful, and I’m so grateful for the experience!
We really enjoyed our trip to Siwa with our guide Hany. Hany was very kind and funny from the beginning. He arrived on time to pick us up with snacks and allowed comfort breaks every 2 hours for the long drive. The car was very comfortable and modern. Siwa is amazing and worth the long drive. We enjoyed all of the meals included and the tours and activities especially the desert tour and the salt lakes. The hotel was clean but basic facilities, although a nice pool area. The people of Siwa are lovely. When we got back to Cairo Hany showed us around the local area and pointed out good places for us to get dinner in the evening which was really helpful. You could probably do this tour much cheaper yourself but I would recommend having a guide as it just makes things so much easier
It was by far the best tour trip we’ve ever done in our whole lives. My husband and I enjoyed our time immensely on this tour. Especially with Amr who made the best out of it!! We took a private tour and wanted to add activitiea once we arrived there and we were able to! Amr made our experience amazing and was with us all the time . We felt safe, taken care of, and everything was so easy going. Thank you so so much! 10000% recommend.
Hany was an amazing tour guide. My partner and I booked this tour primarily for the Siwa Salt Lake experience, but it turned out to be so much more than we expected! We had an amazing guide, Hany, who made the entire experience even more special. The tour started with a pick-up from our hotel, and once we arrived in Siwa, we were amazed by the warm hospitality and had the chance to explore the city at night. The next day, we visited the Mountain of the Dead, Cleopatra’s Spring, Siwa Salt Lake, and so much more. This was also my first time experiencing a desert safari, and it was truly incredible! Watching the sunset over the desert while taking in the breathtaking views, enjoying great music, and experiencing the amazing driving skills of our guide made it unforgettable. There were also so many beautiful spots to stop and take pictures, making every moment feel special. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for anyone who wants to explore unique places, connect with nature, and experience the beauty of Siwa. Highly recommend it!

Our Siwa Oasis trip was absolutely incredible! From the beautiful salt lakes to the unforgettable desert safari, we enjoyed every single moment. A huge thank you to our amazing tour guide, Hany, who made the experience 100 times better! His energy, kindness, knowledge, and sense of fun made the whole trip so special. We had so much fun and created memories we’ll never forget. Thank you so much, Hany, for such a memorable Siwa adventure! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. 🏜️✨
1. Tour Guide It was a real pleasure to have gone on this tour, especially with our tour guide Amr. He was very attentive, treated us very well, and also accommodated our requests. Right from the pick-up, we were warmly welcomed, and our luggage was taken and loaded onto the bus. 2. Food The food was really very good and also plentiful. Some drinks were included, while others, such as Pepsi, Fanta, Sprite, or various smoothies, had to be ordered and paid for separately. Water was always included. 3. Activities We were lucky not to have booked during peak season, so there were only five of us on a bus actually meant for eight people. The tour was exciting from the very first day. I can only recommend this trip to anyone who has a bit of time and wants to see the Siwa Oasis. I’d also like to mention that on two occasions there was no electricity, and for reasons I can’t explain, the internet didn’t work either. This, of course, has nothing to do with Amr.
Absolutely 10/10 experience. Amr is a legend, super knowledgeable, friendly and experienced, he'll show you a great time, help you bargain for local prices and take you to all the top spots in Siwa for everything you need. Great food, experiences and hotel too! The desert Safari is a memory I will carry for life. Its a real journey to get to Siwa, but its a pilgrimage everyone ought to make. Incredible handicraft community with an incredibly vibrant, rich culture. Do this tour, you'll be happy you did.
My 3 day tour to the Siwa Oasis was the absolute highlight of my trip to Egypt. I was unsure if I wanted to do it due to the travel time at first, but it is 100% worth it in every way. My guide Amr was incredible, so welcoming, helpful, friendly, funny and easy to get along with. He was always checking to make sure I was comfortable, happy and having a good time. It felt more like I was traveling with a close friend. The activities were amazing and the salt springs and desert safari were breathtaking once in a lifetime experiences. As a solo female traveler, I couldn't have felt more grateful and at ease with this experience. Amr was always perfectly on time and organized with the entire itinerary and experience. He made sure I got exactly the foods I liked and the meals and fresh juices included in the tour were delicious and high quality. If anyone is unsure about committing to this tour, in my opinion it should not be missed out on if you're coming to Egypt. And if you are lucky enough to have Amr as your guide, you will without a doubt have the best 3 days ever!
My friend and I (2 ladies) spent a great time in Siwa. The tour was very well organized and Hani had been of great support. Precise, reliable and honest. I definitely recommend the Siwa tour with him!
We had a wonderful time with Hany in Siwa! It was a comfortable ride from Cairo and we had a great stop in Marsa Matrouh for lunch on the way. He asked us for our favorite Egyptian food and included it in the tour. The activities in Siwa were a nice balance between adventure, history and culture as well as nature. Floating in the beautiful salt lakes was the big highlight, although we really enjoyed the desert safari, too. The ecolodge where we stayed was wonderful and had a hot spring and a pool. Keep your eyes open for wild camels on the way between Siwa and the North Coast, which is so cool to see! We highly recommend the trip with Hany, who is easy going, fun to be around and speaks great English.
I travelled to Egypt this May and spent nearly ten days exploring the country. As it was my first time visiting, I booked several tours through the Viator website to make the most of my experience. Out of all the trips, the three-day Siwa tour was by far the highlight of my journey. I am extremely pleased that I chose Luxury Tours Egypt for this experience—they truly exceeded my expectations. A special mention goes to my guide, Amr, who was absolutely outstanding. He was the best guide I had throughout my time in Egypt—patient, kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. His knowledge, professionalism, and friendly attitude made the trip not only smooth but also very enjoyable and memorable. Siwa itself is a hidden gem, and this tour allowed me to experience its beauty, culture, and peaceful atmosphere in a very comfortable and well-organised way. I would highly recommend this tour and Luxury Tours Egypt to anyone visiting Egypt, especially if you are looking for a unique and unforgettable experience. My flight from London to Cairo was delayed by three hours. Although I had already informed Amr before takeoff about the delay, I did not expect it to be so long, and he ended up waiting at the airport for quite some time—I felt very sorry about that. During the trip to Siwa, he was always thoughtful and considerate, making sure everything was arranged in the best way possible, including comfortable accommodation. When it came to meals, as I wasn’t very used to the local food, he made a great effort to provide a variety of options each day to suit my preferences and ensure I was satisfied.
Had a lovely time with the activities and accommodation by luxury tours egypt. My guide, Amr was friendly, accomadating and made me feel comfortable as a solo traveler.
We had an amazing 3-day trip to Siwa Oasis with Luxury Egypt Tours and it truly exceeded all of my expectations. The whole journey was very well organized, comfortable, and I felt safe throughout the entire trip. Siwa Oasis is such a magical and unique place. During the tour we swam in the beautiful salt lakes, enjoyed an unforgettable desert safari ride, and drank traditional chai while watching the sunset over the desert - one of the most beautiful moments of my trip to Egypt. The landscapes and atmosphere were absolutely breathtaking. We also learned many interesting facts about Siwa, its culture, and local traditions. Our guide, Hany Shalhoob, was fantastic - very friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and always helpful. He made the experience even more special and memorable. I highly recommend this tour and Luxury Egypt Tours to anyone visiting Egypt and looking for a unique adventure away from the typical tourist places. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience!
More than anticipated. Everything was very good. Optimal size of the group, very well organized program, etc. Really, it was great discovery of this unique place - interconnection of natural beauties and historical routes. Undoubtedly, I recommend.
It was a great experience! Beautiful landscapes with an interesting approach to the local culture. Hany and Jamel were very friendly, professional and helpful
Siwa Oasis completely exceeded every expectation. From the moment we left Giza, the entire experience felt like stepping into another world — slower, quieter, more peaceful, and deeply authentic. The people of Siwa are some of the kindest and most welcoming we’ve met anywhere. What makes this place special isn’t just the unreal landscapes… it’s the warmth of the people who call it home. A huge part of that was our driver, Ahmed. He took care of everything from start to finish and made the long drive feel effortless. The ride was comfortable enough to sleep through most of it, and he timed the stops perfectly for stretching, coffee, and bathroom breaks while still making great time safely. Every part of the trip felt thoughtfully curated. Endless food, incredible tea, natural springs, massive sand dunes, floating in crystal-clear salt lakes, and watching the sunset beside a desert campfire under a sky full of stars. Ahmed even took us to his own hidden spot at the salt lake, and it honestly looked unreal in photos. But what stayed with us most was the feeling of the place. Siwa has a way of making you slow down and appreciate how small you are compared to the world around you. It feels peaceful, grounding, and almost spiritual at times. The hospitality was unforgettable — from young local girls excitedly asking to take photos with us, to an elder who at first seemed intimidating but then served us traditional food with so much warmth and care. Moments like that are what make travel memorable. If you don’t fall in love with the landscapes of Siwa, you’ll absolutely fall in love with its people.
I have no words to describe this experience ! I had a lovely trip with Faouzi and Mohammed. Faouzi drove safely and was so nice. To Mohammed, the guide, I would like to address a huge thank you for everything. He took excellent care of us throughout the entire trip. He always makes sure we have everything we need : food, drinks, stops during the drive.. This journey to Siwa was amazing : we had a great stay at Hot Spring Camp, and Mohammed introduced us to some delicious dishes. People in Siwa were so kind. The journey was beyond my expectations, I will never forget this. This experience cannot be described, it must be lived !
We did a 3-day trip to Siwa (2 days of driving, 1 day on-site) departing from Giza. The overall balance is positive, but a few things are worth mentioning. Highlights: The driver was excellent – punctual, professional, and the vehicle spotless. Our guide, young and incredibly kind, genuinely cared about making the group happy. The visits and activities in Siwa delivered, and the food was consistently good. Room for improvement: Communication with the tour operator beforehand was frustrating – passports were requested, submitted, then requested again with no acknowledgment in between, giving an impression of disorganization. As for the guide, despite his clear good intentions, the language barrier (English was passable but limited) combined with last-minute itinerary changes led to some confusion and an occasionally unclear schedule. Worth knowing: The drive is over 9 hours each way. This is non-negotiable geography, but it does take a toll – the trip is genuinely exhausting, which slightly dulls the overall experience. Bottom line: A very good trip that falls just short of excellent due to unreliable communication and some organizational fuzziness. Siwa is absolutely worth the journey – just come well-rested, and keep your expectations flexible on the logistics side.
We had an excellent experience with our driver and guide Ahmed during our four-day trip to Siwa Oasis. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. His driving was safe and comfortable, even on long stretches and more challenging roads, which made the journey feel smooth and stress-free. What truly stood out was his friendly and accommodating nature. He was always punctual, patient, and attentive to our needs, making sure we were comfortable at all times. He also went above and beyond to share insights about Siwa’s culture, history, and hidden gems that we would not have discovered on our own. His recommendations for places to visit, eat, and relax were spot on, and he gave us the flexibility to explore at our own pace without ever feeling rushed. It genuinely felt like traveling with someone who cared about making our experience memorable rather than just doing a job. I would highly recommend Ahmed to anyone planning a trip to Siwa Oasis. He played a big role in making this trip special, and I would not hesitate to book with him again in the future.
My Siwa tour was nothing short of magical. One of those rare trips that both feels luxurious and deeply authentic at the same time. The accommodations were absolutely beautiful, blending comfort with traditional Siwan charm, making it the perfect place to unwind after full days of exploring. What truly made the experience exceptional were the knowledgeable, warm, and clearly passionate guides. They brought Siwa’s rich history to life, from ancient sites to hidden corners of the charming town that you’d never discover on your own. Every day felt like a highlight: horseback riding through breathtaking desert landscapes, floating effortlessly in the crystal-clear salt lakes, and soaking in the hot springs under open skies. And the food fresh, flavorful, and abundant was some of the best I had in Egypt. Siwa itself has a quiet, soulful beauty that’s hard to put into words. This tour captured it perfectly. If you’re looking for a unique, immersive, and unforgettable. I am a travel planner who would not hesitate to book any tour with Luxury Tours Egypt. Book Direct with the tour operator!
Our Driver Ahmed was awesome. He is a life long local of Cairo/Giza and knows all of the ways to get around traffic. We made the trip to Siwa safe and in record time. His vehicle is new clean and comfortable with great AC. He makes intuitive stops along the way for snacks, drink, stretch and bathroom. We felt safe the entire time. Egypt traffic is chaotic and having a good driver is important.Ahmed is the best driver in Egypt. The resort is beautiful and everyone is so kind. Ahmed is always looking out for you and makes sure you are happy. He also is very flexible and allows you to make adjustments or stops along the trip. He knows Siwa very well and is familiar with the checkpoints. The off-road dessert and sand boarding was really awesome. Also Ahmed knows the best secret salt lake spots so you are away from crowds and he takes great photos. All meals were awesome and they always feed you more than you can ever eat. The tea and coffee is amazing and make sure you get some Siwa Juice. This was the highlight of our entire trip. Thank you Ahmed for taking such good care of us.
I wish I could rate this more than five stars. It was a well organized tour and exceeded our expectations. Hany our guide was engaging, kind and thoughtful. There really isn’t enough words to describe what an amazing tour guide he is. He went above and beyond. Even though nine hours seems like a long drive. It didn’t feel that long.Hany made well timed stops along the way. He was very knowledgeable not with only the sites we were seeing, but also the town of Siwa. The hotel was clean. It was nice having a pool and hot spring.. The tour was an incredible and very memorable experience. Thank you again, Hany for such a wonderful adventure! 😊
Amr was an amazing tour guide. He took us to all the local places and we managed to basically have all the locations to ourselves. Highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to see more than just the usual destinations, it’s an experience we won’t forget.
