What to do and see in Cairo, Cairo Governorate: The Best Night Tours
Cairo’s an ancient city that also happens to be a modern metropolis—it’s one of the biggest cities in the Middle East and has the traffic and noise issues to prove it. But as long as you’re not looking for solitude, Cairo—the City of the Thousand Minarets—is a splendid place to explore Egyptian history and culture. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

My husband and I just returned from Egypt, (5/3/201 to 5/12/21,) a trip we booked through Travel Discounters and the tour company they booked us with was Blue Sky. From start to the very end, Blue Sky representatives guided us through airport arrivals in Cairo and Aswan, to our departures, hotel check in and check outs, Nile cruise check in /out. The drivers were courteous and most importantly, the guides (Egyptologists in their own right) had a passion for the history of their country. Our guide in Cairo, Tawfik Elshaer (Tut), was so knowledgeable and made the experience an intimate one for my husband and I. Any changes we needed to make; he was more than happy to accommodate us. Our guide in Luxor and Aswan, Saber Hamed Al Hagagy, was also extremely knowledgeable. I can describe this trip as one of our favorites!! Now is the time to visit Egypt as crowds are small. Shout outs to Tut and Saber and Thank you, to both!! V Kaplan

Excellent!! We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 day excursion in Cairo. Nour was a great guide. She was very educated on all of the sites we visited and made sure we saw everything there was possible to see at each location. They were also very accommodating to our need to sleep in an hour more or go to any extra places that we wanted to see. Throughout the trips we made stops at several little stores (this is a part of their companies guidelines), where they try to sell you overpriced items. No problem at all, you can go in and politely decline as many times as needed. We had lunch both days at very nice restaurants, the food was delicious, (you will only need to pay for your drinks... very cheap). The driver was also great, they both made us feel very welcomed and comfortable throughout the excursion. Would definitely recommend this package for anyone who wants to explore the most important and historical areas in Cairo.

Amr was our guide when we visited Luxor. He is hands down the most knowledgable, enthusiastic and passionate guide we had the privilege of meeting on our entire trip! He never rushed us, was obviously so happy to discuss and share his knowledge the entire day, and was so open to sharing his love and respect of his incredible country. His suggestion to first visit Karnak temple was amazing; we had it all to ourselves! With Amr, we saw the West Bank (Valley of the Kings, Hatshupset Temple and the Temple of Deir El Bahari), as well as the East Bank (Karnak and Luxor Temples). We must have asked him hundreds of questions, but he always had an interesting fact to share, accompanied by a smile! We would 100% recommend Amr, and are so grateful to have had him show us around his home! Please, when you do this tour ASK FOR AMR! :) You will not be disappointed! His direct number is +20 100 339 0255. Honestly, contact him if you would like the most in depth, historically accurate and INCREDIBLE experience ever! Thank you Amr!

I very rarely book tours, but knowing that Cairo is a special kind of beast due to the high number of scammers after money, I decided to save myself the headache and book a tour for my Cairo layover. Memo and and the driver Mohammad arrived at the airport on time (probably early) and brought me to a well air conditioned car. Memo has a great amount of knowledge about the sights and gives great advice for travelers. He is enthusiastic and took some great photos of me on my camera (I'm not up for posting photos of myself on TripAdvisor, but he knows exactly the angles to get some great photos). My only piece of advice is that unless you actually think you'll buy something, the aromatherapy store is skippable -- while the papyrus store gives you some knowledge even if you don't plan on making a purchase, the aromatherapy place is largely a sales pitch, albeit one from a very nice woman. The restaurant was nice and since we had a little extra time, Memo helped me obtain a sim card for my phone. Highly recommended and affordable.

One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a star attraction in Egypt, the pyramids of Giza offer a completely different experience at night, when lasers, lights, and visual projections bring their history to life. Here’s how to visit the pyramids after dark. The sound and light show at Giza takes place every night for 55 minutes by the Great Sphinx of king Kephren, it is a laser show with history narration of your own language. Ask your local tour guide about the starting time of the sound and light show of your language and he would be the most pleased to arrange a pick up for you and transfer to see the show. However, you can buy it in advance and get details from us online! Enjoy a 5.1 surround sound with light and music extravaganza at the Giza pyramids and Sphinx.

First of all, it is totally worth to visit Black and White desert, and the contents of the tour were great. Also the food we ate was delicious (although poor breakfast). I would totally skip the cold and hot springs stops. Why did I rate this tour as being poor? We initially booked the tour in January (2 months before our trip) for a private tour (my partner and myself). Everything was ok until 2 days before the tour when we thought of maybe cancelling it (because of coronavirus situation) and were told that we would have a discount because another couple was joining us. No other options offered, and finally we decided to go ahead. When they came to pick us up, it was a group of 4 joining us and we all had to go in a 6 seat car (we were 7 including the driver) for 4-4:30hours to get to Baharyia Oasis. The group of 4 also contracted the tour in January, and they were told that a couple was joining them on the same day the tour started. Once there at least we were offered two 4x4 to do the trip to the Black and White deserts. The drivers were just drivers, enough English to understand each other but not for long conversations. They weren't proper guides, didn't talk much, just took us from place to place. For the Black desert is important to wear closed trainers (as you climb a little mountain that can be slippery). One of the drivers was trying to be funny at some point, but it resulted in being pushy and unrespectful. There was one of the girls from the group who is vegeterian and didn´t have chicken, so he really insisted on her trying it... Also jokes to my partner saying that if I weren´t there for sure he would say that he would like to be with other women... It made us all feel very uncomfortable. At least the group of 4 who joined us was very nice and we had a good time with them! The other driver who was more quite played the drums at night after dinner which was nice. Last but not least, on the second day, we were supposed to have breakfast before the sun rise (we had breakfast at 7am, we all woke up before the drivers) and be in Barahyia Oasis by 10am. We got there at noon expecting to get some food (even if we had to pay extra), but no, the driver to get us back to Cairo was ready. We went back on the same uncomfortable car in a ride that took nearly 6 hours, specially because of Cairo´s traffic. The driver was nice and got a simple sandwich for each of us. It is a shame that it turned out to be like that, because the places you visit are simply amazing, gorgeous and stunning and absolutely a must if you have the time and budget.
