I was looking for a travel agency to book Dahabeya, came across Minamar agency online. The contact person was Raed Sedky, communication started in October 11 for the trip that took place in January 2012. He answered every question, his reply was timely and efficient. I read a lot of complains on Minamar service but my experience was totally different.... More

My family started to plan our 10-day free and easy Eqypt tour 21/2 months ahead of our early Dec departure. We requested for quotes from a few Egypt tour agents but finally decided to solicit the services of Minamar Tour though there were some not so good reviews posted on Trip Advisor. Mr Raed Sedky, Asst Tourism Manager, provided quotes,... More

We booked excursions to Abu Simbel, Luxor West & East bank from our Nile Cruise boat through Minimar, before we left the UK. Mr Raed Sedky's help in arranging those excursions was invaluable as my wife is disabled, and everything he put in place worked like clockwork. He was most thoughtful in putting together the timings to suit our needs... More

We looked for a local agent that could organize a customized desert tour (Giza, Fayum, Djara cave, black & white deserts, great sand sea, siwa and El alamein). Minamar &Select Egypt provided us their services, which we found really excellent in organization (Raed), in guiding and teaching us (Omar), in carrying us here and there, setting the camp and cooking...

If you want a customized trip in Egypt for 2 or more persons there is no better way than with Minamar. They did an excellent job in arranging our 3 week trip including the hotels and sights we wanted. The assistant manager Raed Sedki was prompt in returning e-mails before we left and always a phone call away when our... More

www.minamar.com We used Minamar Travel in Jan 2011 for 11 nights private tour in Eygpt. 4 star hotels in Cairo and Luxor. 5 nights on a dahabia from Luxor to Aswan. Minamar did everything they claimed they would. Organisation was good. Guides and drivers were excellent. Traffic in Egypt is wild so it pays to have a good driver. In... More

On a recent trip to Egypt we decided to put the itinerary together ourselves and then booked some things direct (flights, hotels etc) and chose Minamar to book our Dahabiya, a car to pick us up from Cairo Airport, arrange guides in Luxor and Aswan and to be a source of information for us. We were in contact with Raed... More

We just returned from a fantastic dahabiya cruise from Luxor to Aswan, arranged by Minamar Hotels & Travel in Cairo. We booked the trip online from Canada, so were unsure what to expect, but the trip far surpassed our expectations. The boat was very nice and comfortable. We stayed in a suite at the back of the boat which was... More

We booked a three day camping trip in the white desert through Minamar hotel.. We were picked up in Cairo and taken to Bahariyah in a private van as promised. We were actually taken to the Beshmo Lodge and told that the Minamar hotel was closed. Beshmo didnt look like the best place, but we didnt care as we were... More
