    This was one of the highlights during my visit to Cairo. When I read about it, I knew I had to go. It all seemed so chaotic. The camels are mainly sold for their meat so keep this in mind if you are a vegetarian. Had a driver with a guide to get there. The drive through the countryside to get there was also worth it. Ladies..take a scarf to wear, dust being kicked up everywhere.

    We went on the Turkey 4 night trip. Istanbul and Cappadocio booked through Memphis and Latitude Tours in Turkey. First off the transfers the entire time was wonderful. The driver was always there to pick us up! Our Istanbul Tour guide was excellent, she was so knowledgable and we really enjoyed our time there. We saw everything. The Cruise on the Bosphorus was a favorite. We stayed at Dosso Dossi Downtown, absolutely beautiful and the staff was wonderful. The food and restaurants in Istanbul that were chosen were great! We flew to Cappadocia for 1 night and our car was there as we arrived. Our tour guide and driver were wonderful. We stayed at Dere Suites, it is a cave hotel, it was very cool. The food was not our favorite at this stop. But the Pistachio coffee stop was a must do. the sights in cappadocia are so amazing, we even visited a man that lives in the cave homes. The only regret is that I wish to have seen the balloons. But maybe next time. They do try and sell you goods, 3 stops: pottery, jewelry, and rugs. They do try and make it an experience for you though, but it was a bit awkward.

    Very nice place we had so much fun, the room is adventurous and the staff is great. The front desk helped me to get the appropriate room since we were different ages.

    It was an amazing couple of hours riding, i was made totally at ease even with my lack of experience. I felt comfortable with the horse i was riding and felt completely safe. Nicola was great at explaining things and the horses she has are well looked after. Riding in the desert with the pyramids in the background has made this experience unforgetable.

    The Magical Morocco tour is definitely one to remember (for all the right reasons), it's amazing how much can be packed into 13 days with some savvy planning. Our guide, Omar, was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cared about making sure we got the most out of visiting his beautiful country, nothing was to much trouble and he was always there if we needed him. Our driver Ibrahim was excellent, always finding the smoothest bit of road to make the journey even more pleasant. This was our first time using On The Go and we will defiantly be using them again. Thanks Omar, you're an excellent ambassador to them!

    We booked the escape room a few days in advance using Facebook Messenger, but the place was closed when we turned up. Luckily there is a great coffee shop nearby. After 45 minutes my son went back to check and the woman running the shop had just arrived due to traffic. We were the only ones there, but we had a great time. She gave us an extra 30 minutes in the room, and we still needed help as we found it to be a bit tricky! This was a great activity to do with two teenagers who had been doing a lot of walking and sight seeing. It broke up our trip! Highly recommend it.

    Maktub agency tour takes care of every little detail from the beginning to the end of your trip. It was one of the best experience that I ever had in my life. I highly recommend it.

    So many fantastic moments on this 14-day Royal Egypt Tour with AP. We started out as a group of 20 strangers with a common infatuation of Ancient Egypt and ended as an extended boisterous family.

    We looked out for each other even at the start of the tour, guided ably by Ahmed Elsafty (Tour Director) & Ahmed Hussein (Egyptologist), both who were assisted at various locales by Omar, Achmed and the very skilled bus drivers who capably got us thru the crazy traffic.

    Too many high points to mention, but Archaeological Paths certainly remembered my birthday which I celebrated during this trip with no less than 4 cakes and flowers.

    Final note was the privilege of meeting so many notable Egyptologists and having personal time with them .

    Well worth the time & money.

    The experience was overwhelmingly rich...fully engaging one's 5 senses plus mind-blowing, roaming in the relics of amazing ancient civilization...words are not sufficient to describe the overall impressions.

    Our group (of ten) was blessed with super professional tour guides Mostafa Salah and Saber Mohamed Atta, who not only gave us very good introduction of Egypt, ancient and contemporary, but also were very attentive to our needs while being spontaneous and humorous.

    Two weeks are far too short to explore this amazing land.

    Am already planning for another visit.

    My team and I were fortunate enough to travel to Cairo Egypt for business. While we were there we were able to see the GEM and the pyramids. If that was not enough, we were able to expierence them and learn about them with Ibrahim. The knowledge, the excitment, and to expieence the wonders of Egypt with Ibrahim was a memory I will never forget. If you dont want to just walk around the Gem and the pyramids but want to expierience them and envision them as they were, you need to have Ibrahim as your guide. Ibrahim I cant thank you enough.

    You 'll enjoy every minute and have real good collaborative time with your kids.
    Highly recommended to start with the easy level if you have young kids, the older the harder the level can be.

    High End Journeys helped made our Egypt dreams come true.
    1 Every detail finely choreographed right from pickup at airport and walking us thru immigration > hotel drop off/check in > Egyptologists as our guides. Ground logistics tour coordinator Ismail is fantastic. His job requires him to meet guests at odd hours for airport pickup/dropoff. Always there with a smile

    2) Susannah Zakaria (Cairo) is fantastic. She knows so much having gotten a college degree. She did a walking tour of downtown Cairo, Navigated us thru Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) and the Giza Pyramids, and Saqqara.

    3) Next we flew to Luxor, then onto the cruise to Aswan. Mohammed Hassan as our Egyptologist.
    Mohamed Hassan is an absolute gem of a tour guide! He traveled with us from Luxor to Aswan, and Abu Simbel and made for a truly unforgettable experience thanks to his incredible expertise and vibrant personality. From the moment we met, Mohamed's passion for Egyptian history and culture was evident. He didn't just recite facts; he brought the stories to life, painting vivid pictures of pharaohs, gods, and ancient rituals. His knowledge of the sites was truly impressive, answering every question with depth and enthusiasm. What makes Mohamed unique is that he is also an archeologist and actively involved in current digs and explorations.

    4) Back to Cairo, Ismail wisked us to Alexandria where we met another amazing guide Zahraa. Besides her local knowledge as Egyptologist, he is a foodie so we got to eat some amazing foods

    Thanks to High End Journeys, our trip was so much more than just sightseeing; it was a truly immersive and enriching experience. They transformed our trip from great to extraordinary!

    We have made new friends for life

    Excellent trip. This was tailor made for our group with very efficient email contact. We were so well looked after from the moment we landed. The guides were really good. The internal flights and transport all worked really well. The Nile cruise was so comfortable and relaxing.

    We had an incredible experience exploring Egypt with Osama as our guide! He took us to the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and around Cairo, making each stop memorable with his knowledge and enthusiasm. Waleed went above and beyond by arranging all of our activities, including seamless ground transportation, which made the trip stress-free. Highly recommend their services for anyone visiting Egypt!
