Great pyramids with sherif

I went to the great pyramids, Memphis, and saqqara with Sherif, and he was a very good tour guide. He knows a lot about ancient Egypt and was excited to share his knowledge with me. Very good experience.

Transportation

Mohammed Farag is much more than a taxi driver—he’s an honest, trustworthy, and genuinely kind person who makes you feel like you’re traveling with a friend. From the moment I got into his car, he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, offering me water and snacks and always making sure I was okay. He clearly takes great pride in his work and truly cares about the people he drives. I feel incredibly lucky to have had Mohammed Farag as my driver, and I sincerely hope everyone has the chance to travel with him. If you do, you’re in the best hands.

Cairo-Nile cruise with a twist

My wife and I have returned from the trip. 1.: Very negative was the handling of the tipping policy in Cairo by the tour guide. In their catalog, it is noted that tips of about €35/person are not included in the travel price; however, there is no obligation to pay (according to legal regulations regarding tips, otherwise it would be taxable additional revenue). However, on the day of arrival, it was made into an additional tipping flat rate of €35.00/person + €3 per day and person for the tour guide and bus driver, which is "collected" the next day. (No mention of "no obligation to pay"). The next day, however, nothing was collected. Instead, it was pointed out that "we also have to think of the other staff members, whom you (we tourists) do not see as people in the engine room." Therefore, we should set the tip flat rate at a "reasonable" €75.00 per person. I will collect that together with the optional excursion price later, please have everything in cash. Those without cash can use the machine in the hotel." (Card does not work, as it creates a revealing written record) This means a couple needs around €180.00 extra, which will be collected by the tour guide right away. Fortunately, we were only in Cairo for 2 days; otherwise, on the 3rd day, tips for the descendants of Ramses II, "for whom you as tourists are actually here," would have been due, and €150.00 per person would have been appropriate..... 2.: The excursion to "Coptic Cairo" that was scheduled for the 3rd day according to the program was withheld from us. Mr. Kamal preferred to take an extra paid "Heissa-Popaia" evening excursion to Cairo for €20.00 (we did not book that). On the 3rd day, there was then a voluntary excursion in the morning at a price of €50.00 per person to the Stung Pyramid (we did not book that). A nice additional income for Exotic at the expense of the trendtours package tourists. In the afternoon, then to Cairo Airport for the flight to Luxor. The excursion "Coptic Cairo" was withheld. Must-Do in Dubrovnik It is a great museum that is very entertaining due to various interactive options and is also suitable for a younger audience. Mega
