I cannot compliment Wedjat Tours enough for the excellent way they handled our tour.  Nihal did an amazing job arranging everything from our lodging to our guides to specific scheduled activies.  This was not an easy job since we were visiting three different countries.  The information she provided was very detailed and gave us a good picture of what to look forward to on our tour.  Her e-mails were always prompt, warm and friendly.  We felt like she was our friend even before we started our trip.

 

We flew into Amman and were greeted by Oscar and Darwish.  Oscar helped with the visas and getting us through customs quickly.  Darwish took us to our hotel at the Dead Sea for the night and picked us up early the next morning to get us to the Jordan/Israel border crossing.  We were met on in Israel by our guide Sudqi.  We spent three days with him visiting the sites of the Holy Land.  His knowledge was astounding, and we learned so much from him about the country, the culture, and the different beliefs.  Sudqi seemed to know everyone!  He made sure we were able to see everything we desired and spent extra time making this happen.  We would recommend him to anyone seeking a guide who could add volumes to their knowledge.  We were sorry to have to leave Sudqi and our driver as we crossed the border into Jordan once again.

 

In Jordan, we were again met by Darwish.  We spent the next three days with him, and we all became good friends.  Darwish was our guide as well as our driver.  He started each day outlining what we would be seeing and followed up with detailed information as we arrived at each place.  He was great helping us make purchases, too.  We were especially happy that he told us about the candlelight walk at Petra that only happens a few nights a week.  It was scheduled for the night we arrived there.  We were able to see Petra both at night and in the daylight the following day, and he helped arrange the mules we rode on up to the monastery.  To us, Petra was the highlight of Jordan and something we always wanted to see.  We were not disappointed.

 

We said goodbye to Darwish as we began our border crossings into Egypt.  We had to cross from Jordan to Israel and then from Israel to Egypt.  Wedjat Tours made sure there was someone to meet us at each border crossing to get us where we needed to go.  We appreciated those people very much!

 

As we were entering Egypt, we were met by Ibrahim.  He helped expedite what would have been a very long wait as the occupants of several tour buses formed long lines as they were being processed through.  We had about a six hour drive from the border to Cairo, and the ride went smoothly.  (We were accompanied by a member of the Tourism Police, too).  We liked Ibrahim right away, and he was a pleasure to talk to on the long drive.  When we arrived at our hotel, he got us checked in right away and made sure we knew when we'd be picked up the next morning.

 

Our guide in Eqypt was Sherif.  We were delighted with him - he was awesome!  We could tell right away that Sherif was an expert on Egypt.  He shared so much information that was so interesting and enlightening.  We spent the first day in Giza and the second day in Cairo.  Sherif knew we didn't have much time in Egypt, and he made sure we got to see the most we could possibly see in the time we had.  Because of Sherif and how he presented his country, it made us want to come back again to see everything we missed!  We would recommend him to anyone heading to Egypt!

 

Ibrahim escorted us to the airport very early on the morning we left.  He had a warm smile and friendly attitude even at 4:30 a.m.!  We also need to compliment our driver in Egypt.  We have never seen such skilled driving!  He was amazing, and we certainly appreciated him very much, too.

 

Whether you want to visit one country or multiple countries, Wedjat is more than capable of making your arrangements for you.  We would certainly use them again!!

Linda

Prima di tutto devo ringraziare la Wedjat Tours per aver contribuito a rendere perfetto il nostro soggiorno in Egitto. Io e tutto il gruppo siamo rimasti completamente soddisfatti della vostra assistenza e delle scelte effettuate:

 

Gli alberghi al Cairo e a Luxor erano molto belli e confortevoli. Abbiamo apprezzato la piacevole sorpresa del cambio di categoria da voi effettuato.

 

Una piacevole sorpresa anche la nave da crociera messa a nostra disposizione per la gita giornaliera a Dendera. Servizio a bordo eccellente e cibo ottimo.

 

Abbiamo apprezzato il vostro sforzo di riproporre il giorno successivo l’escursione in mongolfiera annullata dal vento. E’ stata bellissima.

 

Siamo rimasti pienamente soddisfatti dei ristoranti scelti per noi durante il tour e soprattutto della nostra guida parlante italiano Gazouli al quale va il mio particolare ringraziamento.

 

Professionale e attenta la guida Mohamed, un ragazzo preparato e serio che certamente si distinguerà in futuro presso la vostra agenzia.

 

Certamente raccomanderò la vostra agenzia a tutti quelli che vorranno visitare l’Egitto e mi appoggerò a voi se dovessi ritornare.

 Grazie per aver realizzato un viaggio indimenticabile

Our main purpose and goal in visiting Egypt was to find a suitable school for my 18 year old daughter to learn the Arabic language and we wanted to combine that with the pleasure of a 23 day tour of Jordan, Jerusalem and Egypt.  I really feel blessed to have found Wedjat Tours online and although I contacted other tour companies, Wedjat Tours was the first to respond to my inquiries.

 

Nihal did an amazing job putting together a detailed itinerary of 3 countries and multiple border crossings. She is truly an expert at her job!  Everything she planned went smoothly.

 

 

 

We arrived in Amman, Jordan and crossed the border to visit Jerusalem the next day. As we passed large tour groups, I realized how fortunate we were to have our own private tour guide, Maurice.   My daughter and I were able to ask questions and see so much more of the city than otherwise possible had we been in the large tour group.  Maurice, as a Palestinian Christian was able to expand our appreciation of the sites we were seeing as we shared the same religious beliefs.  His knowledge of Biblical history was amazing! 

 

After our day trip to Jerusalem, we crossed back to Amman, Jordan and had a great time with our driver/tour guide Khaled Amer seeing the Citadel of Amman, Archeological Museum, the Dead Sea, and Petra.  We stayed overnight at Jabal Wadi Rum Camp (a 5-star camping experience!)  I don't like camping, but found myself wishing I'd stayed there longer!  It was so much fun.

 

In Egypt, we had Tamer, always polite and a gentleman, assist us at the Taba border crossing.  Tamer also helped with the checking in of hotels, catching the sleeper train, and airport check in on the return flight home.  He efficiently helped us through getting our Egyptian visas.  Then we were driven by Ashraf, the very best driver anywhere on this planet, in a Wedjat Tours mini bus. I've ridden in many Cairo taxis where I worried for my safety, but with Ashraf, you just sit back and enjoy his expertise at manuevering traffic.   We felt very spoiled by being the only clients on the mini bus.  It was just Ashraf, Tamer, my daughter and I, and a "Mr. Cool" wearing sunglasses and suit in the front seat.  Later, I found out that "Mr. Cool" was a policeman assigned to escort tourists in the Sinai region.  So, we felt very safe and comfortable with no worries.  Actually, we felt safe everywhere we went (even at Tahrir Square) because the people are so friendly and always saying "welcome to Egypt."  We visited Sharm El Sheikh on the Red Sea, climbed Mount Sinai (Gebel Musa or Moses' Mountain) with Tamer to see the beautiful sunrise at the top where Moses received the 10 commandments.   Afterwards, we were scheduled to visit St. Catherine's Monastery, but were too tired.  So, we asked if we could just head on to Cairo which was our next stop.  This change was ok'd by telephoning the tour office and we were on our way.  This flexibility in itinerary change was something you can't do on a group tour.  We also were phoned by Wedjat Tours almost daily to ask how things were going. They reallly were concerned about our enjoying every bit of the tour. 

 

In Cairo, we were introduced to Ahmed Abd elsalam, our tour guide/egyptologist, married, proud father of an 8- week baby girl named "Youmna". He was with us the whole time we visited the Pyramids, Sphinx, Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Luxor.  We took the sleeper train to Aswan and Ahmed had taken the prior passenger train and was waiting for us in Aswan when we arrived.  We had a private car and driver throughout our tour and Ahmed enthusiastically explained in detail (despite the sweltering heat) all the temples and tombs that we visited.  Ahmed went above and beyond being a tour guide of ancient sites; he became like a son.  He introduced us to a snack of roasted corn at Khan El Khalili Bazaar and Koshary for lunch at the train station.  After paying too much for water and soda at Abu Simbel, he insisted on even buying us our water so we wouldn't have to pay "the tourist price."  We really enjoyed experiencing the wonderful history and culture of Egypt. At the end of our "official" tour, I came to the realization that this was not like a tour.  It was getting to know the people in a way not possible if we had booked with a group tour.  I feel like we have family now in Egypt.  Everyone is so kind and when they offer to help, they sincerely mean it.   For these reasons, I will not hesitate to recommend Wedjat Tours to anyone.  Seeing the sites of an ancient culture is one thing and worthwhile, but getting to know the Egyptian people was an even more rewarding experience.

 

Wedjat Tours booked our hotel in Cairo in close proximity to the Language school we were looking into and we spent 8  days in Cairo getting my daughter settled here for a new life as a student.  All this time, Wedjat Tours' manager, Mr. Fathy, his brother Mohamed, and Nihal offered help and advice.  It helped make leaving my daughter behind easier just to know that she could call these wonderful people at Wedjat Tours for any help..."even if you just get lost." 

 

I know this is an unconventional testimonial, but this is an unconventional tour company.  It has exceeded all of my expectations and I had the best time with my daughter who will have these beautiful memories lasting her entire life.  I have never traveled outside my home country before and am not a seasoned traveller by any means, but Wedjat Tours made everything effortless on my part.  My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer in Egypt!

 

Thank you Wedjat Tours!

Linda

We had a wonderful trip, thank you for all the great service. Hares was an exceptional tour guide. We enjoyed learning all about the history and he was very patient with our questions. Seeing guides of the other tour companies. We realized we were very lucky to have chosen Wedjat and to have Hares as our guide.

I would also like to recognize the very hard work of Shimaa, Hanaa and Huda on the details of our trip. They were all very responsive to my emails and provided outstanding customer service.

After staying in 3 places, we would most recommend the Alyssa cruise, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious.

The drivers were very professional and always made sure that we reached our destination safely.

 

Thank you for everything.

We absolutely loved our tour - our guide was over & beyond!!!  Our airport rep saved us from not getting off at right train station, and came aboard calling us.  When we did get off, train started moving, and I jumped into his arms.  Our drivers were fantastic, and our rooms were superb.  You have a very beautiful country!!!  The only thing we didn't care for was probably the train, and especially the train's food.  Other than that, everything was superb!!!  Thank you so much for sharing your country with us, and Hares, our guide, made our trip perfect!!!

I would just like to say how much my group of 6 enjoyed the services of Wedjat Tours for our long weekend in Cairo in March 2011. We were met professionally at the airport and transferred to our hotel where the Tour Leader ensured we were checked in OK. The next day Wedjat took us to Alexandria in a luxury minibus and the guide was excellent. The selected restaurant for lunch was very good and all the site visits were most enjoyable. The following day we used Wedjat to guide us round the Memphis, the Steppe pyramid at Saqqira and the Giza pyramids. Once again an excellent day. Two days later they transferred us to the airport and checked us in. I booked the flights and hotel independently and then found Wedjat from Tripadvisor recommendation. I have to say their people via email when booking, the drivers, Tour Leader and guide were all attentive and professional. Good value for money and I will certainly use them again for our tour to Jordan in 2012.

Good Morning Mr Ayman

It was wonderful to meet with you and Mr Hamdan yesterday and we trust that our short Video interview will help bring you many customers.  As a follow up I thought that I should write a short Testimonial that you can use to send to any of your customers

I shall try to send additional updates as we travel and have an Internet connection.

 

Elizabeth, my wife, and I arrived in Cairo on 5th March to a very friendly welcome at the Cairo Airport by 2 of Wedjat Tours staff

 

We have travelled to 50 countries over that past 12 years since our retirement and can honestly report that the current situation in Egypt bears no resemblance the that portrayed in much of the worlds Press, Radio and TV.

  

Our Wedjat Guide, Hares, is both a knowledgeable and rewarding young man and has made our first 9 days in Egypt a memorable event, with visits to Alexandria, the Black Desert & the White Desert and now 4 days in Cairo visiting many Pyramids, the Cairo Museum, Citadel, Coptic Churches and Mosques, to name but a few.

 

Wedjat have put us in a Hotel only 250 meters from Tahrir Square which it is now a very safe and very interesting place to visit. Each night we have walked in safety the streets of Cairo and found some wonderful Restaurants to eat some memorable meals.

 

We fell privileged to be in Egypt so soon after the Revolution to share with the Egyptian people their happiness in the NEW EGYPT

 

Wedjat Tours put our interest and safety first and we are looking forward to our next 2 weeks in Egypt, travelling by Train to Aswan in 2 days time, then 6 nights on a lake Nasser and Nile River Cruise, after which we shall travel onto Jordan and Syria for another 2 weeks with Wedjat Tours expert Guides.  All up we have 35 days under the expert guidance of Wedjat Tours before we travel onto the UK and Italy before returning to Australia.

  

Come to Egypt now and experience for yourself the friendship of the Egyptian people and share with them some of the most remarkable history spanning over 5000 years.

(Egito: chegada em 9.1.2011 e

saída: 23.1.2011.

Nós brasileiros, somos desconfiados por natureza. Mas, resolvemos arriscar! Aqui do Brasil, entramos em contato [via internet] com a Wedjat (no Cairo, Egito) e, após dias para a "escolha do pacote" e com a paciência de ms. Ola, fechamos o mesmo. O pacote incluiu: Cairo; Cruzeiro pelo Nilo; Hugharda (Mar Vermelho) e mais Cairo.

Foram 15 dias de puro deslumbramento no Egito! A Agência superou em muito, todas as expectativas. Eles são FANTASTICOS! Tudo de 1ª qualidade. A equipe é muito bem preparada. Os carros e as vans são novíssimos e o acompanhamento passo-a-passo é impecável! Por não sabermos inglês, ela nos providenciou um Guia que além de falar nosso idioma muito bem, é egiptólogo! O nome dele é Sayed e ele nos acompanhou por todo o percurso. Detalhe: todo esse aparato foi exclusivamente para meu marido e eu. Sentimo-nos confortáveis e muito seguros. Acho que até os Faraós (estejam onde estiverem), sentiram-se enciumados.  Mesmo porque o povo egípcio é muito tranquilo e cordial. É! Saimos de lá 2 dias antes da Revolução e, enquanto lá estivemos, não percebemos nada. Tudo normal...!!!! Meu nome é Angèlìca e, caso queiram mais detalhes.

We visited Egypt during 1st week of January. We were there for 7 Days and now we feel only 7 Dazz. We wish we would have stayed more!
We choose Wedjat tours over other tour agencies because the way they understood our requirements and personalized our tour. Egypt, the country itself is so rich with evidence of ancient human civilization mesmerized us all the time. Sherif, our Egyptologist Guide, was too good in explaining the Egyptian mythology and History associated with Pyramids, Tombs and Temples we visited. He has an excellent sense of Humor and becomes a good friend of us.
We would like to thank Esraa Samir for excellent arrangements of accommodations and Transportations. She surprised us with a short term Hotel arrangement at Luxor during our waiting time for return flight to Cairo. Also, the arranged Nile Cruise (Farah Nile Cruise) was class apart for its rooms, food and ambiance.
The side trips to Perfumes factory, Papyrus factory and Alabaster Factory were fun and allow us to bring some special souvenirs. We also want to thank Ebrahim and other airport representatives for their kind support. We definitely like to come again to Egypt and Choose Wedjat tours. We also recommended Wedjat tours to our relatives and Friends.

The best part of all was Hares, our tour guide.  He was fantastic.  Hares was very knowledgeable, very helpful, his English was excellent and he was an excellent bargainer!
 
We plan on visiting Egypt again, probably next year, with a diving trip to Sharm El-Sheik and probably on to Jordan.  We will definitely use Wedjat Tours again and will request Hares to be our guide.
 
Thank you all for such a marvelous trip.

My son & I had a vacation tour of Egypt during the period December 1-10, 2010. Our tour operator was Wedjat Tours, Giza, Egypt. Their offer was comprehensive & complete including transport, accommodation, sight seeing, river cruise etc. We were received & seen off at the Airport by their representative and accompanied by an exclusive tour guide for two of us all the time including the river cruise. So, though we do not know Arabic, we did not face any problem to communicate with local people whenever needed. The transport supplied were relatively new & comfortable and often too big for two of us.

We requested an offer from them for 10 day tour of Egypt. After receipt of the offer, we requested some additional services & our tour program was tailored to meet our requirements which included Balloon ride, visit of Abu Simble temple etc. By the way we collected a few quotes from other operators also which were more economical. But considering all pros & cons we decided for Wedjat Tours. Now after the completion of the tour I have no hesitation to admit that we took the right decision & got full value of our money.

During our visit to Egypt we met three members of Wedjat Tours.
Ebraheem, the representative, is a young man of amiable nature with a very cooperative mind. We did not meet him during our departure as he was attending another group out of
Cairo. I wished I could say him hello during our departure. Instead Mohammed received us at the Giza railway station & saw us off at the Airport. He is very young & needs more experience to handle foreign tourists. Our tour guide Hares is very knowledgeable & explained us in detail the history of Egypt with the culture, beliefs & customs. We have enriched our knowledge in these fields. I wish him all the best.

In conclusion I would like to thank Ms. Huda, who organized the program and accommodated our requests and was very prompt in response. I had an intention to meet her personally & convey my appreciations. But due to
time constraint this could not be materialized.

Good morning Ola,
 
I had a wonderful time.  I didn't are for the Santana Hotel.  I would have preferred a hilton or
marriott or something on that level.  Assem was an EXCELLENT tour guide as well as Abrahim
was as the representative to meet and greet us.
 
Thank you for everything.  I would recommend your services.  The sleeper train was a bit of
an experiene.  I would probably preferred to fly back from luxor.  I did appreciate having a rep with
us the whole time.  Thank you for everything.  I would prefer not to have people call me  for
recommendations. 
 
Thank you,

Dear Nihal,
Firstly i find myself fortunate to have found a professional Tour company as Wedjat Tours where all my requirements were met above expectation.
Right from my very first impression from the introductory email from you till the last drop off to the airport, all the way it has been a very positive and pleasing experience.

Upon arrival, i was picked up by Mohd Fathy who is always way ahead of time to ensure he doesn't keep the guest waiting. I was also allowed an early check-in at the hotel and also was given a free upgrade.
The night spent at the Nile cruise was also very memorable and worthwhile.

The next day, i was welcomed and picked up at the hotel by Sherif, a passionate and energetic Tour Guide who really enjoys doing his job, which makes the entire tour very exciting at the same time informative.
I really enjoyed the Pyramid experience and the Egyptian Museum master pieces, supplemented by the wealth of knowledge Sherif had explaining the details.

Our driver was also very good at his job and knew the roads of Cairo very well to avoid wasting time on the road. He also greeted the guest upon pick up and drop off which was very nice of him.

On my last day, as usual Mohd Fathy was waiting at the hotel way ahead of time and he really surprised me, when he handed me over the breakfast in a box (it was a very early checkout).
This is a true reflection of your seriousness and committment towards customer satisfaction.

Overall, I really enjoyed my tour in Egypt and very pleased with your service comparable to international standards.

I'd recommend your service to my friends and also contact you for my future touring needs in that region.

Thanks and Appreciated.

Good afternoon Zeinab,

I’m sorry for taking so long to answer you, but after Cairo I went to Cyprus for a few days and when I’ve returned to Lisbon I had a lot of delayed work.
Our trip to Cairo was fantastic, from the moment of booking. All terms and conditions were very clearly explained and the services were provided as agreed. No problems at all.
Your representative Robair diligently picked us up from the airport on arrival and met us every morning, and the guide Mostafa was the best. The driver Hony (I don’t know if this is the correct spelling) was extremely nice, even though he spoke little English, but with the help of Robair and Mostafa he could communicate with us and share some experiences, and even a Xixa (the water pipe) with my husband.
As you know this was our second visit to Egypt and we were looking for a different experience from the first time. Mostafa was willing to answer all our questions and had long debates with my husband about all issues of society, religion and life in Egypt, which we appreciated. He also indulged us on visiting the best restaurants for real Egyptian food, such as Abou Tarek for koushari. Even the pickiest person in our group loved it! Also the restaurant by the pyramids was a must, not so much the “Cleopatra”, which was to western for our taste. He has also prepared me the surprise of going to a confisserie for baklawa and ice-creams. I was a big fan of baklawa, but now I dream of it!
Maybe you should have informed us about the last-minute change of the guide, which was supposed to be Mr. Sherif El-Kelany, but I believe he could have not been better than Mostafa El-Kafrawy. Mostafa told us that it was the first time he was working for Wedjat Tours, and I strongly recommend that you’ll keep him in your list of guides.
All your information about the ticket prices was very helpful. The only incorrect information provided was the price of the tickets for the Pharaonic Village. We have paid 158 L.E. per person, which is far from the 6€ you have informed us.
As for being a Travel Reference, of course I don’t mind at all, you can give my e-mail address to anyone who wants to book with you, I’ll be keen to answer any questions your potential clients might have.
I will send you some photos as soon as my husband will process them.
Feel free to contact me if you need anything else.
Best regards and a bright future for Wedjat Tours and its team of professionals.

Hello Ola,

We have returned safely from our trip to Egypt.  Those nine days went too fast, but we have a lifetime of wonderful memories.  We wanted to provide our testimonial and reviews of Wedjat Tours EXCELLENT service!  We first contacted Wedjat Tours about 10 months before our trip.  You were always so prompt in responding to our questions and providing us with references.  We were able to contact several people from around the world to hear about their experience with Wedjat Tours.  We looked at several private tour companies and chose Wedjat Tours because of the promptness and helpfulness of the staff, the excellent references we were provided, and the ultimate value of the package.

When we arrived in Egypt, the service we received from the staff at Wedjat Tours was even greater than we had expected.  EXCELLENT is not a high enough rating for the staff.  From the moment that Robir met us at the airport and quickly whisked us and our luggage through the busy terminal to the van, we knew we were in good hands.  All of the drivers in Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor were courteous and professional.  They seemed keen to be sure that we were comfortable and safe.  All of the buses and vans were clean and in good condition. 

Our tour guide Sherif was more than EXCELLENT.  We could easily see the passion he has for sharing his knowledge of Egypt with others.  He quickly became a friend to us and a big brother to our 8-year-old son.  He made sure to explain each site we visited fully and told us the stories and legends behind each. He made sure that we had adequate time in each place; we never felt rushed.  We asked so many questions and he was happy to answer all of them.  And he was more than just a tour guide.  He made sure we were safe, comfortable, had enough water, and were getting enough rest.  He did a wonderful job in adjusting our itinerary so that we were working schedules opposite of the larger tour groups and cruises, so that the sites were less crowded when we visited.  We think that made a tremendous difference in our enjoyment of our tours. He made sure we had plenty of opportunities to take photos and walk around the sites at our leisure if we wanted. He helped us negotiate prices with vendors and we trusted him in helping us settle on a fair price and cautioned us in buying certain items from certain places.  He also helped keep vendors from bothering us if we were not interested in their goods or services.  Not only did he share his knowledge of the ancient sites we were visiting, but he shared with us much information about Egyptian life and more recent history.  This added much enrichment to our tour as we also wanted to learn more about the daily life in the country we were visiting.  We also shared with him information about life in the United States.  By the end of the trip, we felt like we were part of Sherif's family and he was definitely a part of our family.

As you know, we chose to travel by planes throughout the country and stay in hotels.  This was really the best option for us with traveling with a child.  We were able to be more flexible with our itinerary.  We appreciate the office staff checking in with us periodically to be sure that we were having a good time.  Thank you to Mr. Inam, who suggested a change in our itinerary in Luxor to allow us more rest before a late night flight back to Cairo.  We also appreciate you arranging the use of a hotel day room before that flight.  That was very useful and we were able to rest.  We really enjoyed our drives through the desert from Aswan to Abu Simbel, and then through the countryside from Aswan to Luxor.  We were able to see much more of the Egypt landscape and examples of daily life.  I'm glad we left our last day free as we were able to return to a couple of our favorite sites in Cairo. 

All of the hotels that you arranged for us were EXCELLENT.  We stayed in 5-star hotels, and they were all great.  We had lovely Nile views in all of them.  We were on the third floor in the Sheraton in Luxor, and the street noise was a bit loud being that low.  We had requested a higher floor, but the hotel was not able to accommodate us.  We just turned up the fan in the room to try to help drown out the noise.  The Movenpick in Aswan was outstanding!  Our suite was very large and beautiful.  And the whole resort felt very relaxing.  Our son particularly liked the giant chess set near the pool and we played several games.  The Sonesta St. George in Luxor had the best view of the trip.  We overlooked the Nile and the Valley of the Kings.  And we were able to watch the hot air balloon launches across the river from our balcony.  All of the hotels were excellent choices - thank you!

The only suggestion I would have for future tours is in the domestic flight options.  We were booked on the very first flight to Aswan (4:45 a.m.) and the very last flight from Luxor to Cairo (11:55 p.m.).  When we first arranged the tour, I had read about that early flight to Aswan and specifically requested that we be put on a later flight.  Since that was so many months in advance, I was told that it was the only option and that a later flight would be considered later if one was available.  There were several available when I looked at the Egypt Air website, but we were still booked on the early flight.  We had a light day of touring when we arrived in Aswan, so I don't think that early of a flight was necessary.  We had to meet the van driver at 2:30 a.m., which was difficult on our family.  The same goes for the late night flight from Luxor to Cairo.  There were several flights offered on Egypt Air in the evening before the last flight.  We had finished touring at 5 p.m. and could have been on one of the 8 p.m. or 10 p.m. flights.  We didn't arrive to our hotel in Cairo until nearly 3 a.m.  That made us very tired during the touring that day.  Our suggestion would be to give your clients the flight options.  If some of the options were more costly, we would have been glad to pay more to have more comfortable departure times.  And since we booked so far in advance, this shouldn't have been a problem to find other options.  The early and late times just made those days a little more difficult.

Our son says that the tour was AWESOME and the ULTIMATE BEST vacation ever!  We agree.  Wedjat Tours service was so much more than we expected.  We felt pampered and were treated like royalty.  Everything we needed was taken care of.  We just had to relax and enjoy the trip.  We would highly recommend Wedjat Tours to anyone considering touring Egypt.  Please feel free to share our contact information as a reference for your services.  Thank you to your entire staff for giving us a trip of a lifetime that we won't ever forget.

Best regards,
Rob, Gloria and Dylan Peterson

Assalaamu Aleikum (hello) from Cairo!                                                            
Our first full day in Egypt was truly amazing. We started our morning at one of the great wonders of the world: The Great Pyramids of Giza. It’s hard to capture the scale of the pyramids in photos, but it’s true, they are very impressive. We also crawled down into the burial chamber of one of the Queen’s small Pyramids.
We then moseyed on over to something called ‘The Sphinx’. There, we learned the secret history of the Great Sphinx, but we swore we wouldn’t tell anybody. The Sphinx allowed for some more photos and fun before we set off to visit a ‘Papyrus Museum’ and a very interesting demonstration about how papyrus has been made for the last 5000 years.
For lunch, we enjoyed a nice meal overlooking the pyramids and then set of to the Egyptian Museum. Our Egyptologist, Assem, guided us through the museum. It was truly fascinating to learn about the mythology of the ancient Egyptians. Even more impressive was the detail and skill of the craftsmen thousands of years ago. The Tutankhamen exhibition was stunning. Some of the highlights were his ornately decorated, solid gold coffin and death mask. The jewelry was exquisite too.
By the end of the museum we were all quite tired, so we headed back to the hotel for a swim and a lovely buffet dinner.
Some lifetime memories were made today. It was a fantastic start to the trip.
Best wishes from Egypt!
Today, we awoke to a sparkling Lake Nasser, and proceeded to sail to the island of Abu Simbel. The view approaching the island of the renowned temple was astounding, which we enjoyed watching from the top sunny deck.
In the afternoon, we disembarked from the boat to see the island for ourselves. After a trek through the desert, we arrived at the temple.  It was breathtaking.  The outside of the temple was flanked with four gargantuan statues of Ramses the Second. Inside, statues and carvings completely covered all surfaces, depicting stories of ancient Egyptians, and offerings.
The Queen’s temple was smaller, but equally impressive.  After exhausting over the sanctuaries,  half the group tried their hand at bartering in the market, while the rest watched the light and sound show at the temple.
After all was said and done, it was great to return to our boat for a wonderful dinner.
 
Dear Parents,                                                                            July 18, 2010
 
On the last night of the Nile cruise, I asked our students to reflect on some of the things that they’ve learned on the trip. The response was quite overwhelming. Besides the knowledge gained through the various academic courses, I think it’s fair to say that the students have learned many life lessons and gained a new perspective on the world. I thought I’d try to summarize some of their more profound observations for you. The three general themes that came out of the discussions were: timelessness, contrast and growth.
 
Timelessness
One of the most startling aspects of rural Egyptian life is how much it hasn’t changed. On our last cruise, students witnessed scenes along the Nile that have been repeated for thousands of years. We saw fisherman fishing by hand, boys herding goats, women washing clothes, children splashing each other, people riding donkeys on dirt paths, homes being built with homemade, sun dried, clay bricks and farmers working their fields by hand.
The ancient temples and tombs offered a new understanding of time and a different perspective on history. One powerful moment was when we saw our first Nilometer. Nilometers were used to measure the water level of the Nile. The higher the water, the more taxes farmers would have to pay for the year. The Nilometer of Satet Temple was 5500 years old and had Arabic, Roman and pharaonic numerals carved into the stone. It summarized the history of Egypt, and its dependency on the Nile.
For one of the Ancient Civilization students, Egypt helped put her studies into perspective: “We (Canadians) learn about history from textbooks, when Egyptians live with theirs”.  We’ve all marveled over the success of the pharaohs, who, set out to document their history in hopes of enjoying an eternal afterlife. Successful entry into the afterlife would also bring prosperity to the people in the present life. They couldn’t have been more successful as millions of tourists flock to Egypt annually - keep the images and names of the Pharaohs alive, and bringing prosperity (tourist dollars) to the Egyptian people. “So, I should start building my tomb now?” – Russell
 
Contrast
Another theme in the students’ observations was contrast. Most pronounced were the contrasts between First World and Third World, and between the West and an Islamic country.
Many students quickly learned that as tourists, they serve as a source of income for many in Egypt. They then had to learn to balance the hassles of this role with the power that comes with it. Students have learned when and how to be friendly, flexible and patient, and when to be firm and clear. For some students these lessons were more expensive than for others, but we all learned some valuable negotiating skills… eventually.
One perplexing contrast between Egypt and the West has been the position of women in society. To date, we have only interacted with two Egyptian women on the entire trip. Our questions about the rights of Muslim women have all been handled very cautiously. As a result, our most consistent reference has been the portrayal of women on Egyptian television. There, the contrast between Middle Eastern and Western women is striking. The Middle Eastern women seem to be valued for a unique blend of beauty, strength of character and modesty while the Western women are almost solely portrayed as aggressive, highly sexual beings (MTV).  This imagery has made some of the female students very aware of the power of the media in shaping the perceptions of the world.
 Growth
Many personal discoveries have been made on the trip already. Most have been practical realizations, others more spiritual.
Our hottest day in Aswan melted into a muggy night. It must have been 40 degrees centigrade at 10pm. The wind felt as if it was burning your skin - like standing by an open oven. The desert promotes a keen awareness of the senses. This may explain why so many religious figures had enlightening experiences in the desert. The desert also strips life down to the bare essentials: water, food and shelter. Even though we have been eating buffet dinners in air-conditioned hotels, we have caught glimpses of the power of the emptiness, wind, sun and heat of the desert.    
 It has been a fantastic experience to be a staff member on this trip. All of the teachers feel extremely fortunate to be able to work with such delightful students. They are truly exceptional individuals, but it’s been most rewarding to see how well they’ve come together as a group. It has also been rewarding to watch rapid, personal growth. Some students were quite intimidated and shy at the beginning of the trip. When one has to barter for water, one learns to become decisive and confident pretty quickly. The new-found confidence, independence and friendships have allowed for truly dynamic growth in some individuals.
Lighter Note
As might be expected, there were several, lighter observations and impressions about Egypt. The Egyptians were praised for their use of linen, and scarves. The students also applauded the sun for its cloth-drying power: “From sopping wet clothing to bone dry in 20 minutes!”  We also learned that boating rules and highway ‘laws’ are essentially the same in Egypt in that the larger vehicles have the right of way. We’re still perplexed as to why cars drive with the lights turned off at night. They also seem to confuse honking with braking. To our great surprise, we also learned that Canadians are inextricably associated with Canada Dry, even though they don’t appear to sell the beverage anywhere in the country.
We are now in Hurghada, staying at an all-inclusive, luxury resort. For the final stretch of the trip we will be trying to balance the students’ desires for academic success with their quest for the perfect ‘tropical glow’ suntan. We also have the Jeep Safari, Dolphin Swimming and the Giftun Island snorkeling excursions to look forward to. Many thanks to all parents for signing up for the Jeep Safari as I expect it will serve as a bonding day for the group as a whole.  
This has truly been an amazing trip so far. We’ve already seen incredible sites, and developed different perspective on culture, history, the world and ourselves.  As happy as I am to report on the life lessons learned by this group so far, I’m happier to say that all the students will all leave here with new, close, quality friendships.
I would like to say that we are extremely impressed with Wedjat tours. Your company has been excellent. You communicate very quickly and clearly. Our guide, Assem, is truly excellent. He is very knowledgeable, polite, hard-working and is always planning and preparing for our group. We could not have asked for a better guide or person to work with. Mohamed is also excellent. he is also very kind, thoughtful and well-organized. As an example of his thoughtfulness and generosity, my cell phone wouldn't work in Egypt, so he lent me his old, personal phone. Our whole group gets the sense that Wedjat, Assem and Mohamed would do anything at anytime to make our trip in Egypt as pleasant and easy as possible.
Many thanks to you, Shimaa, Assem and Mohamed for your kindness and professionalism thus far.
Tisbah ‘ala kheer (goodnight) from Egypt.

Hi Huda,

 
I just wanted to let you know how great our time in Egypt was. The airport agents were excellent, especially Robir. He has a terrific personality and made us feel most welcome. I can't say enough about our guide, Michael. He was fabulous and very knowledgeable. We felt so very safe with him which is very important to women traveling alone. Thank you for the great planning! I will be happy to recommend Wedjat to anyone and can't wait to return to Egypt.

Our tour with Wedjat Tours starting at Taba has been a well-organized one. We have no complaints and were happy clients.

The welcome we received from Ebrahim at the Taba border made me feel assured and that I had nothing to worry about despite earlier reservations
travelling with a company I knew nothing about. Speaking to Mr Ayman , who further re-assured me, I let the uncertainties leave me completely.
 
Buses for the day trips were on time  and the bus driver was Mr Friendly himself. The hotels, The Zoser in Cairo and The Plaza in Alexandria, recommended by Mr Ayman, were excellent.Everyone in the group was impressed with the way our tour guide, Saad, endeared himself to everyone. He was excellent
in forging links with the children in the group.I would recommend Saad,as a tour guide, anytime to any group since you can learn a lot about Egypt from him.
He is a genuine Egyptologist.
 
God willing, this is not my last trip to Egypt and ,for sure, I would be calling on Wedjat Tours again for their services.
 
Last but not least, then there is Ola, whose replies to my e-mails were impeccable.

Hi Sara,
 
Now that we are back and settled in at home I can take some time to respond to you and your company regarding the trip you planned for us.
 
Before we arrived
As you know we were quite nervous about using a company outside our home country, especially when it came to paying over money. We did research on Wedjat on the internet and mostly all of the comments we read were positive. We also contacted a lady who had recently travelled with yourselves living in our country and she gave us some good advice too.
 
Our dealings with you were really pleasant and you managed our changing requests and endless questions very professionally. I am sorry that we didn’t get the chance to meet you while we were in Egypt. The itinerary you put together was as per our request and you did not try to encourage us to do things that we were not interested in and nor did you discourage us from doing things we wanted to do.
 
Upon arrival
When we finally retrieved our baggage (it took nearly an hour to come through at the airport), we were met by the smiling Robir! What a nice guy. He immediately made us feel welcome and walked us to the private mini-bus that took us to our hotel. He even assisted us in convincing the hotel to allow us to check-in early. Mahmood our driver was very good and made our journey comfortable. Robir was also on hand to make sure that we got onto the train and plane when we left. I am his best friend from South Africa!
 
Our guide
What can we say about Sharif……….what a nice guy with a wealth of knowledge about your country and Egyptology. He was very patient in answering the endless questions from all of us, including the children, answering each as fully as possible. No short answers. He also questioned us about things he had told us already, teasing us that we couldn’t remember some of the more simple things, which, when considering that he studied for 4 years to become a tour guide, was quite a challenge for us to get answers right. He truly made the tour a special experience as he treated us like friends not customers.
 
Our itinerary
As mentioned earlier, the itinerary was set-up exactly as we had asked for it to be. We were not hassled into going places that we did not want to go and when we asked if we could divert somewhere, both Sharif and the drivers were very accommodating. We did feel that the Alexandria trip was disappointing following the splendour of Sakkara, Giza, Aswan and Luxor and would suggest that unless people have the time in future, you encourage them not to visit Alex. The 3 hour drive each way makes it a very long day for not much reward. We felt that we could have spent more time in the Karnak Temple and definitely the Egyptian Museum but how much time is enough? Hard to know, but an hour or two would have been enough.
 
Other comments
1.     Nile Cruise – definitely glad we upgraded to 5*. It was really clean and comfortable as compared to some of the other boats we passed
2.     Overnight train – we were lucky on the way to Aswan as the train was new so there were no rattles and it was very clean. The train back from Luxor was much older and rattled and banged through the night so we barely slept. But overall it was a good experience and the kids enjoyed it tremendously.
3.     Cairo accommodation – once again the upgrade to 5* was appropriate, although if we had known that the hotel was being renovated, we may have chosen one of the others you offered. The rooms were clean and spacious with a lovely view, but the hotel felt very empty due to the renovations
4.     Restaurants during the day tours – Sharif took us to the Queen Cleopatra restaurant in Giza which would not have been our choice. We like trying local food and would rather choose of a menu whereas this was mostly ‘European food’ on a grand scale for tourists. Many tourists prefer to sample local food in local stores, so you should encourage your guides to check with your clients beforehand. That said, the Fish Market in Alex was brilliant!!
5.     Early check-in – was problematic on both occasions when we really needed it. A nice benefit to your clients would be to arrange a day-room with the larger hotels so that tired travelers can at least rest and wash while waiting for rooms. The tour company that arranged our Red Sea trip had this arrangement in Sharm. This applied when we arrived from SA and when we returned from Luxor. That said, both times the hotel accommodated us, but not without grumbling.
6.     Currency – on most occasions, shops/merchants preferred LE to USD. We brought mostly USD so it would be worth warning clients to carry enough LE while out and about.
7.     Nile Tour – we had to vacate the boat by 8am on the last day while our train only left Luxor at 19h30. Sharif managed to allow us use of the boat after our day tour but if we had realized the time delays involved, I think that we would have elected to fly back to Cairo.
8.     Shops – we relied heavily on Sharif to take us to shops that would not rip us off and which had the genuine articles. He took us to the following;
a.     Shop in the old market in Cairo – we felt this was a friend as it was also the first shop on the block
b.     Carpet factory – smaller of many that were available; didn’t feel like we were being ripped-off
c.      Papyrus shop – excellent in Giza
d.     Cotton shop – excellent in Giza
e.     Alabaster shop in  Luxor - not too sure about this as the statue we bought broke on the way home and it looks like plaster and not sandstone as we were told it was
f.       Spice shop in Aswan – excellent
g.     Cartouche shop in Cairo - excellent
 
Overall
As well travelled people who have had a range of experiences, we all thoroughly enjoyed our trip to mainland Egypt as arranged by Wedjat. The personal attention made us feel very special and Sharif managed us and the children very well. He even managed to teach us some Arabic! The comments that I have made above are intended to help you make your service even better and we will definitely be recommending your company to any friends who may want to visit your fascinating country in the future. We are also happy to serve as a reference should any other South African travelers need to check up on your credentials.
 
All the best to you, Robir, Mahmood, Sharif and all the other Wedjat staff and drivers we encountered on the way.
 
Regards,
Robert, Erica, Caity and Alistair Cranmer

Your guides, representatives and drivers were friendly, informative, helpful and I think of them now as friends.  I would especially like to thank Maha for her hard work customizing my itinerary so that I could see everything I wanted to in the short time I had available.  I could not have done it without you, and you made my experience easy and hassle-free from the moment I walked into the airport.  Thank you so much!"

Same as we filled in feedback questionnaire, Wedjat services is excellence, 5-stars professional and strongly recommended!
 
We are really satisfied with the trip. The program was excellently compiled (thank to you for this!), so that we can have the experience to go along 5000 years history of Egypt in 8 days, starting from Old Kingdom, New Kingdom, Greek, Roman, Arab, Ottoman phases and Coptic Christianity until modern Egypt (High Dam).
The Nile Cruise was entertaining and we enjoyed it. So Nile Cruise is truly recommended as part of Egypt tour. 14-hours sleeping train from Aswan to Cairo is a unique enjoyable experience. No regret; it was a right decision to choose train instead of airplane.
Fortunately we put visiting Egypt Museum at the end of our program. It became the summary of our trip and put the climax at the end where we can see the golden mask of Tutankhamen and the royal Mummies!
 
Special Thanks are for Hares, our English Guide; He is a knowledgeable Egyptologist. Most important, he had patience traveling with our 1.5 year old boy and seems that our baby boy likes him as well. Surely we thank him also for good photo shots.  
 
Annoying part could be the pricing. We understand that there are different prices i.e. for souvenirs and people try to get benefit in unfixed price market, but on the other hand no client wants to be trapped into unfairly price. Therefore for your improvement, your guides should be able to provide the client with sufficient information, bring to reliable souvenir shops and try protecting the client from unfairness price treatment.
There were also minor issues with transfer to train and airport pick-up at the end of the trip. If waiting time for transportation is unavoidable, your tour should be ready to provide acceptable place for waiting especially in traveling with infant.
At the time we arrived in Luxor airport by the end of our program, there were people from other travel companies waiting for their clients at baggage claim, but unfortunately no one from Wedjat representative. We had to take care of the baggage by ourselves until we met Wedjat driver outside of the airport. It was fine with us but this gave us impression of declining of services at the end of the program.
 
Despite of minor annoyances, we summarized your service as excellence. One of the reasons is the way you helped me getting the program; prompt in responding my emails, providing good answers, choosing excellent cruise, hotels and schedules. Again we enjoyed the trip, two thumbs-up for you and Wedjat travel!
 
Please convey our best regards also to our excellent guide, Hares and our driver in Cairo, Said.
 
Best Regards,
Chris

I just wanted to relay what a wonderful time our family had in Egypt and Jordan. The entire experience was a complete pleasure. The initial planning of the vacation was handled with great competence by Hanaa and as a result all transfers and transportation went off without a hitch. Our guide Hares was excellent, providing knowledgeable descriptions of both modern and ancient Egypt. In addition he was a lot of fun and took good care of us. Overall the experience was 5 star for every aspect and I would recommend Wedjat to anyone.

Dear Ms. Sara,
 
First of all, thanks to you specially for arranging such a beautiful, nice, Hassel free & memorable Egypt tour for us. We just reached back safely at Lagos, Nigeria after spending almost a month at our home town Delhi, India.
 
We wanted to meet & have a cup of tea with you but unfortunately could not make it. This is the only pending thing in our itinerary.
 
Our experience at Cairo, Egypt
When we booked out ticket for Egypt, we were scared & little bit feared about the people & treatment at Egypt. We were travelling to a new country with no contacts other than Wedjat Tours. There were so many ifs & buts at that time. But when we reached at Cairo Airport & met with the representative of Wedjat Tour, all our fears, ifs & buts went off. The response, courtesy extended by him was really nice & tremendous. He had managed everything at Cairo, Hotel in such a way that we will not face any problem.
 
Next day morning, our tour guide Mr. Hassan came to pick us for the day tour of Cairo. He was well educated, cultured & behaved person. He was mixed up with us like a family member. The driver of the van was also very nice. Both driver & guide were cracking jokes while travelling from one place to another place. The tour guide was well trained in his field.
 
We have visited all the places in our itinerary. They way our guide had explained everything to us, it shows he has lots of knowledge & experience. We liked each & every place visited by us. Trains & cruise services provided to us was also very good standard. We enjoyed each & every moments of it. Night programs at cruise was a unique experience for us. Food provided was satisfactory. We are vegetarian, the choice of foods for the vegetarian are less. Norwegian village safari was very good. We had seen how people are keeping crocodiles in their houses. I ride the camel for the Ist time in my life.
 
On the final day, we visited Alexandria city. This city was beautifully developed by the government. In our opinion, this is the best city in Egypt.
 
We enjoyed each & every moments of this Egypt Trip. All our 8 days have gone like a day only. We are honored the hospitality & courtesy given by the Wedjat Tour’s staff. We are thankful to them from our heart.
 
There is no problem in accepting to be one of your Travel Reference to some of your prospective clients.
 
We will also recommend Wedjat tour to our friends & colleges, if they want to visit Egypt.
 
Best Regards,

Hallo Ola

 
I would like to report back on our tour with Wedjat and I would appreciate it if you could show my e-mail to mr Eyman.
 
We are overall very satisfied with Wedjat as touring agency. You did your best to accommodate every request and even every change in plan we had. I will soon be writing a report on the internet to recommend your agency.
 
We would just like to mention to you a few problems we encountered and we are sure once you are aware of them, you would do something to rectify this and future clients would benefit from it.
 
As we mentioned, all the hotels we stayed in were good (not excellent) but good enough. Our cruiseship was excellent - thank you for the upgrade, mr Eyman! 
 
Our guide/egyptologist, Hares, gets the top score! He was excellent with the history of Egypt and also made our trip very enjoyable with his great sense of humour. He went out of his way to help us with everything and even bargained on our behalf - something we appreciated very much, since we did not know the cost of anything. God bless and a lot of happiness on your wedding in July, Hares! Thank you also to Ola who was very patient with my loads of questions! I also want to mention that the vehicles used on our tour was excellent- new and clean with very good drivers.
 
The few problems I want to mention:
1. We would have liked to see and do 'n bit more - the tour was sometimes very very slow to our liking. (as already mentioned at your office). The three hour wait at the station (Cairo to Aswan) was really a bit of time wasted. If we knew beforehand we would be that amount of time at the station we would have preferred to stay at the Egyptian Museum a bit longer. Don't understand me wrong - Hares did not hurry us at all at the Museum, but we were not aware that we would go to the station immediately after the visit to the museum.
2. The next very tiring and wasted day was the day in Luxor. We spent the morning on the cruiseship, because we knew it was only the two temples we would be visiting that day. We finished this visit in two hours and then we went to the airport.
We were already at the airport at 15:30. To our shock the security at the airport did not want to allow us to enter the airport until two hours before our flight leaves. So we had to sit outside at the cafeteria (that did not even have a toilet) until past 20:00, before we could enter the airport. Once inside it was still more than three hours before our flight left! Almost eight hours wasted.
 
To be fair to Hares, he offered, before we left for the airport, to take us to a hotel to wait until it was time to go to the airport, but the wait at the hotel would not have been any different for us from waiting at the airport and would also have cost us a lot of money. Wait is wait. To us this was really a day wasted and much more tiring than staying busy all day and almost all night! Remember, to us this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to do and see as much as possible of Egypt and wasted time is also wasted money and opportunity to us. For instance we would have loved to see more of Sharm el Sheikh and even half a day more in Sharm would be of much more benefit than sitting at the airport. Maybe in future you would work out a touring program that does not involve such waiting hours, even if you have to change the order of the places to visit? We did not have a particular order in which we wanted to see the places, as long as everything we wanted to see was still included in the tour.
 
 
Thank you for a very interesting tour of Egypt and especially the cruise was 'n lovely experience. Sharm el Sheikh was absolutely beautiful and the snorkeling there spectacular! I will surely recommend your agency to all my friends.

Our Tour Guide made our trip great and we would recommend him to anyone , We would also request him on future visits , From the time we arrived to the time we left we had someone with our family , so we always felt safe and we know what we were doing .

Our children also really liked our Guide , when our young daughter got tired from the heat our guide would sit with her during our free roaming time , Again we felt perfectly safe leaving her with him .
Wedjat Tours did everything they said they were going to do and more .
I would recommend Wedjat Tours to all my family and friends , Guide also was very knowledge and was not rushed to get through things he gave us all the time we wanted at each place.
Our Favorite part was the Nile Cruise and the stops along the way.

My family and have lived abroad for 7 years and have traveled extensively.  We all agreed that our tour to Egypt was one of our best trips ever!  The success of the trip was due to the Wedjat tour group and staff.  We usually travel on our own without guides but this was a pleasant change.  We were so impressed with all of the staff from the airport representative that was SO helpful and smiling no matter what time of day or night we arrived.  Doaa arranged our tour and answered all of my million questions in a timely and effective manner.  Our tour guide Haisam was so helpful and friendly and knowledgeable.  My teenage boys really liked him (as did my husband and myself).  He was so helpful and flexible even when our luggage was lost and our son got sick, Haisam helped us solve the problems and was very positive and flexible with our schedule.  While in Cairo we got to meet the staff at Wedjat and talk with the owner.  That was a really nice touch to hear his philosophy and passion for his company and made us feel valued as a customer.  Of course the sights were amazing and a lifetime dream fulfilled.  We were pleased with all of our hotels in Cairo, Luxor (loved the St George) and at Sharm el Sheik.  We really appreciated the pace of the tour (not too jam packed or stressed) with time to relax and add/delete things at request.  We learned a lot on our tour to Egypt and will remember it forever.  We also enjoyed the time at Sharm el Sheik after touring Cairo and Luxor, it was a very nice way to wind down the tour with some relaxation and beach time.  I highly recommend Wedjat tours for anyone that wants personallized service (so much better than a huge group tour).

We returned a few days ago from a wonderful 5 day tour of Egypt, including visits to Cairo, Aswan and Luxor. We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all of the arranging and hard work put in by your staff, as it was everything we hoped for.

 
All of the accommodations were very nice and we felt as though everything was taken care of for us, allowing us to relax and enjoy the marvelous sights and surroundings. Our guide, Sherif, was also fantastic- he was incredibly knowledgeable about every site we visited and didn't mind patiently answering all of the questions an amateur Egyptologist could come up with about the history and mythology surrounding everything. He was great fun to spend time with and we appreciated having his company throughout our trip.
 
We can strongly suggest Wedjat to anyone planning a trip to Egypt. Everything happened exactly as we were told, there were no surprises and we felt very well taken care of. This was one of our favorite trips ever.

We had a very wonderful time on our ancient Egyptian history tour.

We heard of your service through trip advisor on the internet, your staff was very friendly and accommodative during our interactions with them.

Huda did a very excellent job in staying in contact with us via e-mail during the building of our itinerary, she was persistent in pursuing our business.

Upon arrival we were greeted with the friendly smile of Mohammed, he has an excellent personality for the tourism business, will do will to stay in it.

Hares has been an excellent tour guide and has proven his worthiness by expressing his knowledge of his country’s history, I personality have enjoyed his company on the tour and believe he will be extremely success in the future.

Wedjat Tours appears to be well organized and excellent on their promises of service.

Hamdan you are blessed with a wonderful young staff and the Canadians have enjoyed their experience with you and your beautiful country.

Good Luck and best wishes to your futures.

Dear Wedjat Tours, 

First of all, we would like to thank you for a wonderful experience, at first we did not know what to expect and to begin with, we were dispersed with the picture of Assem that was provided, as we thought, he was close to 60 years old. However, when we meet him on Monday Morning, we were surprised to meet the grandson instead. He was extremely knowledgeable & funny. Funny being the most important as he made Egyptian History very interesting.
I would most certainly recommend him as an Egyptologist to friends & Family.
The Hotel in Cairo, was a nice city hotel with good breakfast buffet, the pyramisa was next best & last was Lotus. The view at lotus was very great, but the rooms require more work. The pyramisa was nice as well and Assem was very thoughtful in arranging breakfast for our trip to Abu Simbel, which wan unexpected and pleasant.
Our transportation was very smooth & all was very well managed. However, we were taken by surprised by the tipping culture, as the drivers changed frequently. We strongly recommend, including tips into the tours or mentioning the tipping culture before land.
The restaurants were satisfactory, but the best food was at Tutankhamun restaurant on the west bank in Luxor. We would recommend restaurants as this, which has a great atmosphere and excellent local food.
All in all, it was a very memorable trip and was made extremely fun by our Egyptologist Assem.
 
Thank you for a wonderful time in Egypt

Greeting from Sri Lanka. The group arrived in Sri Lanka safe and sound, around 4.30 am Sri Lanka time.  It was a great Tour and we brought back unforgettable memories of your country, it's history, people and also You, Saad and Ali and Isham.  All of you were wonderful and very cooperative and helpful. 

 
Special thanks to your Head of Wedjat Tours, for arranging everything without any problems, and also for constantly checking whether everything was going well, while on the tour.  This is a rear thing we find sometimes even in our own country.
 
I was unable to get a photo of the group with you as my memory card was full.  I would like to have one from you if you could.
 
Once again thank you very much for your company.  You have the talent to grow in your career faster than usual.  I wish you all the luck in your future endeavors.
 
Thank you again for everything.

Dear Ms Zeinab,

We have selected your tour company after a careful internet search: Wedjat Tours appeared to us a professional one. In general in most of our discussions in preparation of our tour organisation we did not encounter any serious problem. One exception was the tour duration, initially agreed to be a 8 days tour and later settled for a 7 days, but without a corresponding cost reduction. Certainly we have found your services very satisfactory, especially your very prompt responses to all our questions via email. Some negative points were related to the standard of the room on the Novotel in Cairo, which was supposed to be a 4 stars hotel but in our opinion rated no more than 3 stars. Also the long stop in Aswan, where the cruiser departed 24 hours later than expected, was not appreciated although it gave us time to see the local market
In conclusion, we found your team and especially our guide Sherif competent and kind and therefore your company deserves our appreciation.
We would also like to make the following suggestion. Since many tourists are interested in visiting Egypt not only for its fantastic archaeological treasures, it could be an added value for the company to provide the visitors with basic facts about the social, economic and political aspects of your country in today’s contest.
 
Hoping that this short summary of our impressions of this tour can be useful to you, we send you and your company our best regards

Dear Mr. Angelo ,
Have a lovely day from Egypt and Wedjat tours,
Thanks for your response but just to Clarify everything from the beginning , Your request on 13th January when you mentioned in your comments that we are interest in visiting major archeoligal sites in about 6 -7 days tour.and we already arranged for you 7 Days Tour which was included Giza Pyramids with 3 Nights Aswan/Luxor Nile Cruise then on 17th January I received your reply from as follow We areconsidering to book the Classic Egypt Tour nr. 3  with one extra day. So there was one Extra Day Tour which we included ( Alexandria Day Tour ) with the price quoted $ 1310 USD per person for 8 Days / 7 Nights (Giza Day Tour – 3 Nights Aswan/Luxor Nile Cruise  – Alexandria Day Tour ) , Then as you mentioned after that you want to add an extra day as free at leisure and you have requested to revise the Price so  Mr.Ayman our General Manager agreed to make this day as complimentary with $ 1310 USD NO extra charge on your original price.
 
At the end your final dates was changed to be from 4th March TO 11th March for 8 Days / 7 Nights you asked us again for revising our price after deduct the extra day which was as complimentary from our Wedjat Tours Company  , despite that we deducted this day and your we have offered you our final price was 1275 USD per person.
 
Regarding to your tour it was your decision that you wanted to cancel Alexandria day tour and we have we already prepared your Van & Your Guide for the travel to Alexandria with you and paid them already based on that and we served you City Tour Day with Lunch instead, so your tour was done as we agreed.
 
Regarding to Novotel Hotel and for your information we have chose this hotel inside Cairo Airport because your domestic flight to Aswan was early morning and that was good for you not to wake very early and drive for one hour to get to Cairo Airport and this was a surprise we already inform you before your arrival to Egypt and you accepted your first stay will be at Novotel Hotel then your second stay will be in Sofitel Sphinx Hotel.....
 
Kindly we are clarifying this to you Angelo because we are very keen to have always a good relationship with our dear clients not and also for you not to misunderstand any points as you came to our office and you have met all our team work and this for sure show you how honest we are and how we are always giving our clients the best.

Dear Magy,

Greetings from Lisbon.

I am writing this email first of all to thank you for everything. Our first guide (Sherif, sorry if it's wrong spelled) was really wonderful. Was the best day we had in Cairo. He is a friendly and kind person.

The tour in St Catherine was really different and difficult for me, I had to go by Camel :o)

The bad part of our trip was the fact that on our last day someone robbed our camera. For this reason, beside we have lost the camera we lost also more than 200 photos we took in Egypt. For this reason I would like to ask you if it is possible for you to send me by email the 2 or 3 pictures that Sherif took in the Pyramids, at least to have one photo.

Thank you once again and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards

Dear Hamad,

A HUGE Thank you for you and your company. Besides all the things that happened to us during this trip, your company made the difference. We had really good time with all the tours that your company provided.

For that reason it will be a pleasure to be one of your future references for new clients.

Regarding the camera we were really disappointed because it happened on our last day during the flight from Sharm El Sheik to Cairo. We were looking the pictures at the airport while we were waiting for our flight. Someone saw us putting the camera in our bag and somehow they opened it and took it. We saw the bag opened when we arrived at Cairo, but the camera was missing already. Honestly I wasn't worried with the camera because we can buy a new one, but we had so many beautiful pictures of Egypt and we lost them all.

Well Hamad, once again thank you for everything and if you need something from us or from Portugal please do not hesitate to contact me.

With my Best Regards

After going over the websites of maybe a hundred Egypt tour operators, I narrowed the selection to around 10 which I found were offering what my husband and I were looking for our one week trip to Egypt. Wedjat Tours always was prompt to respond my emails and answer any questions regarding the trip and making arrangements to suit the tour to our particular needs. I was always doubtful about what they meant when offering us a “private tour”, until we got there and it was really a private tour for my husband and I, with our own driver and with our wonderful tour guide Haitham. He accompanied us through the entire week, taking also the Nile Cruise with us and was always accommodating to our needs. I have to particularly mention something that proved that Wedjat Tours really cares about their clients. I have to take a medication that comes as oral drops, and the first night after we arrived in Cairo, I found out that I had an empty container!!! All of it had spilled during the long flight from New York. I was really concerned as we were just starting our trip and I could not stop the medication abruptly. After licking the sides of the container and getting hopefully what I needed for that first night, I was really worried about how was I going to be able to get that medication in Egypt. Well, the next morning I told our guide and we stopped at several drugstores and could not find it. Finally in the evening we found it in one of the drugstores just before boarding our train to Aswan, where surely would have been even harder to find. I was so thankful!!! That could have ruined our trip!!! I have only good things to say about Wedjat Tours and recommend it as the best Tour agency in Egypt. I can gladly provide any further information if you wish to contact me.

After doing considerable research of the various tour companies operating in Egypt I decided that Wedjat Tours offered the reliability and level of service that I was seeking.  The comments of previous travelers on Wedjat Tours services which I was able to review online were uniformly positive.   The company offered the individual type of tour package that I was interested in, and Wedjat Tour prices were very competitive and well within the limits I had decided upon.  My initial inquiry was responded to in a quick and complete manner.  I was given various options and the initial tour package was quickly assembled, all question were answered in detail and in very short order my arrival date was settled.  Financial arrangements were easily handled to everyones satisfaction.  A Wedjat Tour representative met me upon arrival to transfer me to my selected hotel.  During the ten days I spent in Egypt all the five-star accommodations were up to the standards I expected.  The guide Wedjat Tour assigned to me had a degree in Egyptology.  He proved to be affable, reliable and was of course highly versed in the field of Egypt antiquities.  During the several days spent in the Cairo and Alexandria areas considerable travel by vehicle was necessary.  The Wedjat driver was not only personable, but highly skilled at quickly, but safely, maneuvering through the tangled, often chaotic traffic of Cairo.  The vehicle was always clean and well maintained.  All domestic travel connections were handled seamlessly.  A severe storm in the Sinai area unfortunately disrupted my planned travel across the desert to St. Catherine's and onward to Taba.  Wedjat Tour acted quickly to rearrange my travel itinerary to ensure my scheduled departure for Jordan was not affected, and it was done in a cost effective manner.   Shortly after my arrival in Cairo I had the opportunity to meet with the Wedjat staff at their office.  It was a very pleasant encounter and I was impressed with the camaraderie of the management and staff.  In sum, my experience with Wedjat Tour could not have been more pleasant.  Simply put they delivered as promised.  I believe most people view a trip to Egypt to be at the top of their list of places they want to visit.  It certainly was in my case.  The magnificent sites at Abu Simbel, Aswan and Luxor are truly something to be seen and enjoyed.  An added plus was the open friendliness of the Egyptian people I met throughout my trip.  The professional level of service provided by Wedjat Tours made my stay in Egypt an experience I will not likely forget.  I highly recommend Wedjat Tour to anyone planning travel to Egypt.

 
Jordan Part of the Tour
 
The trip to Jordan went without any problems.  The representative/driver met me as planned.  He had a new rental vehicle in very good condition.  The hotels were fine. 
I thought the Imperial Palace Hotel in Amman was very nice.    We visited all the sites on the itinerary pretty much on schedule.  Petra was particularly worth the visit.  All-in-all it was an enjoyable visit.
 
Sincerely,
 
Robert Siegenthaler

RE: NEVER REGRET TO CHOOSE WEDJAT TOURS! 

Dear Wedjat Tours Staffs, 
Hi guys, is a very nice and lovely trip in Egypt, thanks for you all to give me a wonderful memories trip.  
Is a short & rushing trip, we are just spending 4 days and 3 nights in Cairo. Since we are transit to Egypt after our business trip from Sudan. There is no time for me to do much research and tailor my trip in Egypt. Luckily, I found a city tour package from Wedjat Tour which can share my worry: Transport, Food, Schedule and so and so… in Egypt. My dear lovely operator (Miss Ola) was help me tailor a perfect trip and good schedule with reasonable price.  
During the trip, what I found that my Driver and Tour Guide are so lovely, friendly and helpful!!! Even the driver unable to speak English, but his smile was cheers up we all everyday ^^ The English Tour Guide they provide is professional, other than a good translator, the details of Historical, Culture, Art in Egypt he bring along to us! Other than professional works they done, both of them are helpful! Before this trip I’m worry about my dinner which is not included our quotation, so we may have to go out take our dinner for ourselves. But, evening on our way back to hotel they are trying to stop KFC / MacDonald let us take away our dinner. 
Turn to Lunch they provide, is not a bad or normal restaurant! Some of the trip packages I meet before, their meals provide are very bad! Cause they are trying to budget their cost and meet up their quotation to customer. But, Wedjat Tours never do this during my trip! Very nice view restaurant, buffet style, the foods are clean and delicious. 
Till the end of my trip, the car will come to pick us on 1p.m o’clock to Airport, but the Hotel check out time was 11a.m o’clock. So, I’m was trying to called Wedjat Tour ask them come early to pick us, since we can shop in Egypt Airport, the manager was very good, polite and helpful to help us arrange the car early to airport. 
The last, we never regret to choose Wedjat Tours! If there will have 2nd time we go to Egypt, undoubted, we will choose Wedjat Tours again!

Dear staff at Wedjat,
 
FANTASTIC SERVICE !!!
I want to thank you for a fantastic job that you all did for my family while on our 10day tour of Egypt.
Our tour operator Maha was so helpful in suggesting different itineraries that would appeal to us.
We traveled with our three young kids, ages 9,7, and 4.
Not once did our kids say they were bored or wanted to go home. We had so much fun.
Because I work for the airlines and fly on a "space available" status, I could not give Wedjat an exact date or time of my arrival.
That was not a problem for Wedjat.
When we finally arrived in Cairo at 4am, their staff was there to greet us.
They helped my tired family with everything and when we arrived at the hotel,
they came to our room with us to be sure everything was ok and we had everything we needed.
FANTASTIC SERVICE !!
I told the staff member to have our guide ready at 2pm and he was there with our driver.
This is where our vacation really starts to be wonderful......
Anything, I mean ANYTHING I asked for was granted.
Our guide was an amazing young man named Hares.
He has studied 6 years to be your guide and he knows just about everything about Egyptian history.
He spoke perfect English and was well mannered in every way.
The best part was the way he interacted with our kids.
Hares would let our very active 4 year old son climb on him.
Hares was always tender and gentle with our girls ages 9 and 7.
Our children warmed up to him quickly.
Hares always helped with everything....even if it was bargaining the price of a bottle of water.
He was with us the entire time and if I wanted to make changes to our tour, he was always supportive.
We skipped some things and added other things. Never a problem.
There was ALWAYS someone from Wedjat waiting for us at every airport, train station, or boat dock.
We NEVER had to wait on someone to show up.  I LOVED THAT !!
Periodically, our tour operator Maha would call us and ask if everything was ok and if there was anything else we wanted or needed.
FANTASTIC SERVICE !!
I would HIGHLY  reccommend Wedjat for your touring needs. If we get the opportunity to visit this beautiful country again, I will call Wedjat.
Don't just read about history.....GO SEE IT.
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
 
Sincerely,
The Rivers Family

Dear Ola,

 How are you and the other members of your office, how are they doing?
 
Spending twelve lovely days in Egypt, being pampered by the Wedjat Tours staff was a real pleasure.  The tour proceeded very smoothly and we had no real problems whatsoever. The programme was a very extensive one and sometimes we had to suffer slightly to cover it all!  What was offered to us in the programme was all catered for.  Speaking from hindsight, I would have left out an excursion or two to have time for me to relax and enjoy the bustling life of Cairo and its environs.  Meeting the locals, and mixing with the locals, for me, would have been an extra bonus.  My wife would have enjoyed a few extra hours for shopping, because I have to say, shopping in Cairo is very enticing and a must for all western visitors. 
 
I take the opportunity once again to thank you all at Wedjat Tours for giving us the chance to have a close glimpse of Egypt and its wonderful historical treasures. I would not mind revisting Egypt on another occasion, using one again the services of Wedjat Tours!
 
Best regards,

Dear Hanaa

First of all,I take this opportunity to thank all at WEDJAT  TOURS for arranging such a nice trip to EGYPT.
I,on behalf of my family,wish to thank specially Ms.Hanaa Hussein Awad,who had untiringly answered all our queries,since we were little apprehensive being absolutely new to the environment.It might have been little disturbing sometime when we were changing the program from one to another but she had handled it very professionally and patiently to meet our requirement explaining the positives & negatives of a situation.
We also convey our sincere thanks to Mr.Bassem,the egyptologist,who explained the history at every site in detail as possible.Also, we thank Mr Hesham,who took care of all our requirement at Cairo and helpful in getting us in train and reaching airport.

However,since all the tours of this type always have some not-so-good moments,I wish to put those as suggestions and not as complaints for improvement in future,which also enhances the customer satisfaction,which I believe the ultimate motto/objective of WEDJAT.
a)4-star category hotel - The hotel has disappointed us when we compare it with the same category hotel in INDIA. Thought he rooms were satisfactory the maintenance,service and hygiene,particularly in the restaurant was very poor.
It may please be conveyed tot he hotel authority for future.
b) We found the egyptologist was very knowledgeable and explained our question to the best of his ability. However,we suggest WEDJAT advises their egyptologists to remain with the guests when they visit inside of a monument/museum.This is required because while seeing the displays inside,questions may arise in the mind of a guest which need to be explained and that is possible when the guide accompanies the guest.It may not be sufficient always to explain the history of the site from outside and then leave the guests on their own to roam around and see.This requirement may not be applicable at sites where guides are either not allowed inside or an official guide from the site is available,like in Alexandria Library.
c) We are thankful to Bassem and safari driver,Khaled,who showed extra care by arranging Bahaariya Oasis resort for us to freshen up before & after safari trip. But,it would have helped us if we were told by them that this was not in the program schedule and a favour being done to us.We strongly feel that this extra arrangement should have been informed beforehand and not when they felt that we were taking easy time to fresh up,though we took 25 minutes each to fresh up,which I feel quite reasonable considering a room with one bathroom.

Lastly,we thank you all once again for arranging an overall nice, satisfying trip and guiding us in all respect. Also, I apologise that in spite of our whole hearted effort to meet you all at your office, it could not be possible for want of time.
Have a nice day and GOD bless WEDJAT TOURS. We wish you all success in all your future endeavors.

Dear, Amitabh.
 
Warmest Greetings from Egypt and Wedjat Tours.
 
We would like to thank you so much for choosing Our company Wedjat Tours, to assist you in your tour in Egypt, and for sending us your travel testimonial, it is Our pleasure and honor to receive it, also thank you so much for you for your kind mentioned points in it.
 
We kindly have some comments that we want to clarify you it:
 
1)      Regarding The Hotel in Cairo, you know that your tour supposed to be 3*** category and we upgraded you the hotel to 4****category and the Nile Cruise for 5*****deluxe category, as you know that is Our Style to give Our clients the opportunity to enjoy their tour in Egypt, as you can’t imagine how the standard of the 3*** category hotels in Egypt is.
2)      Concerning the fresh up in the hotel in the desert, it seems that there was misunderstanding about it, we thought here in Our office to introduce you it as an extra services from our side to give you the chance to fresh up before your final departure.
3)      Also we need to clarify you that there is some sites here in Egypt not allowed for the guides to enter it like The Mummification room and the room of King Tut in The Egyptian Museum, The tombs in The Valley of Kings, and The Valley of the Queens, Alexandria Library (there is a local guide in it and it is illegal for the guide to explain in it).
 
Finally thank you so much again for you, and we wish you and your family all the happiness, also Mr. Hamad Our Operation Manager sends you all his best greetings and regards to you, and we wish you have the Opportunity to visit Egypt again to meet you.
 
With all our best regards and wishes

Hi Doaa,

First of all, let me thank you and the rest of the Wedjat team for a splendid tour we had of Egypt.
Right from childhood, I had dreamed about coming to Egypt to see the great pyramids in all their
splendor, to see the massive columns of the Luxor temple and not to forget the colossi of Ramses
at Abu Simbel. Not only did you all make my dream come true, but also helped in making it a 
cherished memory that is etched in me, forever.
 
I would personally like to thank you (Doaa) firstly for the amazing eye for the detail that you possess, which
finally helped in organizing the itinerary into a smooth one, which could cover every point of interest we
had in mind with no rushes anywhere. You were like a "Genie" to me, coming out with solutions to every
request or questions I had. I would also like to thank Mr. Ayman for his personal touch at every point
in the journey where we faced minor hitches or obstacles and the speed with which he reacted everytime
in getting the things fixed/corrected. His personal call every time informing about the progress we very
assuring and gave a lot of confidence. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mohamed
our tour rep. for his punctuality and helpfulness every time we needed a pick up or a drop. Be it in the noon or
the middle of the night, he was always there; always on time and always with a pleasant smile. Last but
not the least, I would like to mention Mahmoud our guide. He was a pleasure to be with, thorough out the trip.
A very nice person, highly knowledgeable in the history of Egypt and very easy to talk to and communicate with.
He was every flexible to our needs and I can say, was the was the red cherry on top of the cake (that's Wedjat Tour).
He helped us in every aspect of the trip, from bargaining with the street vendors, to taking us to the interior bylanes
(where most tourist don't go) on our request when we wanted to try the authentic Egyptian cuisine at the shops 
where the locals go. He felt like a part of the family and we felt pretty emotional when we parted company. That,
for me is how the service industry should work ideally.
 
All in all, the whole trip was perfectly co-ordinated and the whole team worked like a well oiled machine.I would like to 
compliment you all for the great job done. Please keep up the good work !!
 
Will surely recommend anyone travelling to Egypt to do it through you. At least I would surely contact you the next 
time I plan to go to Egypt again and believe me I will :) Insha allah (as you say).
 
By the way, have uploaded a few snaps from the 1st 2-3 days of the trip here (in case you would like to see)
 
Cheers

My husband Brian and I had an excellent time on our trip. Wedjat could not do enough for us. Whatever we needed there provided.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and funny. He was easy to be with during our week.

The tour representatives from the company were friendly, polite and very helpful. They continued t always provide us with information and assist us at every time. They made us feel at home in Egypt.

The drivers were excellent.
I still don’t know how they are able to get around so easily in the busy city.
We will certainly recommended Wedjat to others, from start to finish we were well taken care of the people were excellent, the facilities were excellent.

Thank you so much for the wonderful adventure.

Hello Hanaa,

Our family of four just got back from a 9 day trip of Egypt. We had a very enjoyable time there -Thanks to WEDJAT Tours who tailor made the trip for us. WEDJAT was with us every minute-from the time we landed in Cairo to the time we left.

I started my research of Tour Companies way back in Sept. After 2 months I had narrowed down my final selection to 2 companies. I finally decided on WEDJAT because at no time did I feel pressured to make a quick decision. Hanaa was always prompt in her emails and flexible to meet our needs.
Our trip was off to a terrible start- a huge snowstorm in New York delayed our flight by 12hrs.We emailed Hanaa about the change in flt time and WEDJAT rep. Hishab was at the airport to meet us .Right then I knew choosing WEDJAT was the right choice. The hotels, the cruise ship ,the van and driver were all excellent. There were no hidden costs anywhere. Our guide Hany was a delight-he did a wonderful job in showing us the various sights. Special thanks to Hany and Hishab .

Dear Hanaa and Mahmoud,

First off, thank you very much for your e-mail and the fantastic tour we had while in Egypt last week!  We are safely back in Hong Kong after a long journey, but all went well.

We were completely satisfied with the services of Wedjat Tours and especially from our great tour guide, Mahmoud!  He really made our trip to Egypt special and totally enjoyable.  Mahmoud’s knowledge and enthusiasm of his country was thoroughly satisfying and allowed us to experience daily life in Egypt from a local’s point of view.  The side trips to several shopping areas, perfume, papyrus, cotton and alabaster were good fun and allowed us to bring home some special souvenirs to help us remember our trip even more.  We especially enjoyed Mahmoud’s personality, his happy, easy going character fit into our family just fine.  He allowed us “free time” and space when we needed it and guided us through the back streets of Cairo, Luxor and Aswan as a true tour guide, thank you very much!

We certainly are happy to recommend Wedjet tours and Mahmoud to any of our friends who might plan a visit to Egypt in the future!

All the best and Happy New Years 2010!

Mr Hamad 

Bellow is the testimonial of our unforgetable trip in Egypt.
We were very lucky choosing Wedjat Tour to organize our trip in Egypt. Since the first email, we noticed that we were dealing with reliable and responsible people. Miss Huda was very prompt answering our emails and tailored our trip accordingly to our wishes. During our trip, Mr. Fathy and Miss Huda, called us many times to certify that everything was going well and to know if we would like to change anything on our schedule. Special thanks to Miss Huda for the nice gift of alabaster figures, that will make us remember Egypt everyday.And also for the CD of ogyptian music wich we enjoy very much listening to.
Many thanks to our guide Mr. Mahmoud, who took good care of us, even treating our colds, and also to our driver in the Cairo area, Mr. Safuad. Not forgetting drivers and airport representatives in Cairo, Luxor, Abu Simbel and Aswan.
Acting this way, Wedjat will be in tourism business for a long time.
We are just waiting for the opening of the new museum in Giza to get back to Egypt, and for sure we will make it again with Wedjat. "Inshala" it does not take a long time, since we are already missing Egypt and it's lovely people.
 
Tivemos grande sorte ao escolher Wedjat para organizar nossa viagem ao Egito. Desde o primeiro email, nós sentimos que estavamos tratando com pessoas confiáveis e responsáveis. Srta. Huda foi sempre rápida ao responder nossos emails e ajustou o programa de acordo com a nossa vontade. Durante a viagem, Sr. Fathy e a Srta, Huda, nos telefonaram varias vezes para certficar de que tudo estava correndo bem e se gostariamos de alterar alguma coisa no nosso programa. Agradecimentos especiais à Srta. Huda pelo presente das estatuetas de alabastro,e pelo CD de música egípcia que nos fará lembrar sempre do Egito.
Muito obrigado ao nosso guia Sr. Mahmoud, que se ocupou de todos os detalhes, para tornar nossa viagem muito agradável, e também ao nosso motorista na área do Cairo, Sr Safuad. Não esquecendo dos motoristas e representantes de aeroportos no Cairo, Luxor, Abu Simbel e Aswan. Trabalhando desta maneira, Wedjat estará no negócio de turismo por longos anos. Estamos apenas esperando a abertura do novo museu em Giza para voltar ao Egito, e com certeza viajaremos novamente aos cuidados da Wedjat.
Oxala não demore muito, pois já sentimos falta do Egito e de seu caloroso povo.

To all at WEDJAT TOURS,

Sorry this reply has taken a few months since our visit to Egypt, but we have been busy since repatriating to the United States from a recent assignment in South Africa. Please do not interpret our delay in sending this note as anything less than a great experience using WEDJAT TOURS for our tour of Egypt during December 2009. We were a party of eight (Two Families of Four), and all had a wonderful tour of the ancient sites and have great memories of our trip that will undoubtedly last a lifetime.
 
Maha, our travel consultant, was very prompt when replying to all of our inquiries, and when confirming all of our plans. She put together a customized itinerary based upon our preferences and made last minute itinerary adjustments to make the best use our time once our flight arrangement were made. The itinerary was well paced, and even allowed us to make adjustments along the way.
 
Our Egyptologist and guide, Mohamed El Talhawy, welcomed us and treated us like family, and went to great lengths to make sure we were always comfortable during the tour and selected very good restaurants. Without hesitation, he made adjustments to our itinerary along the way … we added a balloon ride over Hatshepsut Temple (a must do activity in Luxor) … a carriage ride after dinner in Luxor …. took care of our preferences for meals … shopping for linens in Luxor … even made a stop at Starbucks in Alexandria on our last day before leaving.
 
The wonderful sites throughout Egypt were complimented by Mohamed's personal knowledge and experience at all the sites. The courtesy and safety of the drivers allowed us to spend most of the time at sites and not spend a lot of time dealing with the Cairo traffic.
 
I could not imagine touring Egypt any other way, a private tour is the way to go. I would highly recommend anyone to use WEDJAT TOURS for a visit to Egypt, and would gladly offer a recommendation if anyone is considering their services.
 
Best regards;

Hello Maha,
 
We enjoyed Egypt and our tour.
 
We loved that we were accompanied by a guide throughout the whole tour and that we were able to see so much of Egypt in just six days. We received wonderful facts and information about each site we visited from our guides. It was evident that each day was well planned and that we were given ample time for shopping, photos, and rest. I was very pleased with our tour and will recommend it to others. If I visit Egypt again, I will use Wedjat tours!

One of the WONDERS OF THE WORLD,  the PYRAMIDS no wonder going to Egypt was one of the wonders a lone tourist could wonder.   From  ludicrous  TURKISH airlines  (TURKISHAIRLINES   they give you the kind of spiky hair from the start) plus the left behind checked in baggage in Istanbul airport. the decrepit black & white taxi,  to Santana Hotel up to the hotel arranged car.  Everything was frightening confusing in my shocked dizzy state of mind no way out of this miserable trip I got into.  Whew!
I really do not know why my first choice of travel agency is Wedjat Tours (Egypt) while googling the net from the start. The first time I step into your the office I felt solace.   
Honest & Straight forward
  from GM to staff (very accommodating). These principles in business are rare now a days.  Very thankful & lucky to have booked my travels with WEDJAT Tours (my lifesaver & also an anchor in Egypt).   My heartfelt thanks to GM Ayman El-Shafei and your team.   Thank you very much.
Happy New Year!

When I decided to tour Egypt, I had no idea of exactly what I wanted to see. I Googled "Egypt tours" and checked out several web sites of tours offered. After a couple weeks or research, I found a tour I really liked, but I could not get the tour operator to respond to my emails (it later turned out the operator had gone out of business). I found a list of tour operators offering trips within Egypt. The list was long, about 100. I checked out every one of them. I browsed their web sites for the tours they offered and for basic information on Egypt. Easy of use and professionalism were judged. Many were eliminated because their web sites were down or links were broken, some because of a lack of updates to their sites, some due to a lack of information.  I narrowed the original list of about 100 operators down to 8. The remaining 8 operators received emails asking for a tour like the itinerary I had original found. Of the 8 emails, I received 6 replies. One just replied by adding a price for the tour. it came from a hotmail address - like I'm going to send money to a hotmail address! 8 operators were trimmed to 4 based on the replies or lack of a reply.
 
I began to work with each of these operators to refine my tour and arrive at a final price. Wedjat was not the cheapest of the four, nor were they the most expensive. They were all within about 10%. Wedjat's emails were very specific about what sites I would see, what meals were included, what options there were, and what was not included. The decision finally came down between two operators. One had a much better web site, but the final determining factors that convinced me to travel with Wedjat were the way you are accompanied by the same tour guide throughout the entire tour, and that my research on travel website showed many complimentary comments regarding Wedjat as a Tour Company.

We had indeed made the correct choice when we engaged Wedjat Tours for our Egypt tour!
I had a very good first impression of Wedjat Tours when all my queries were replied promptly by Maha. She has helped to arrange a superb holiday in Egypt for us. Really appreciates that!

Hares, our tour guide is a great guy with very pleasant personality. Having much knowledge about the Egyptian history and sharing with us all those stories have made our tour even more meaningful. We'd learnt a great deal from him. Thank you Hares! You're one of the best guide ever! Hares protected us well during our 7 days in Egypt and we felt very safe around him. He made sure that we were not hassled by the persistent street vendors selling souvenirs. He tried his very best in fulfilling our requests throughout the tour. 

One more impressive thing about Wedjat was the arrangement at the airport. We were truly pleased with the great assistance we got during our transfer from Luxor to Cairo. The representative at the airport helped us to check in without us having to queue up.


I must say we were all very well taken care off throughout the tour by Wedjat's staff.
My friends and I had truly enjoyed our first trip to Egypt and we went home with sweet memories of Egypt plus loads of photos taken.

I will definitely recommend Wedjat Tours to my friends!
Thank you!

Dream holiday fulfilled.

My wife, Ruth and I just took our dream holiday with Wedjat Tours. It was a 10 Days / 9 Nights 'custom-tailored'

program, last November 24 up to December 3, 2009, with an itinerary up from Alexandria down to Abu Simbel.

Truly, Wedjat Tours promised & delivered their very best to give us a very 'memorable' visit in Egypt, The cozy

hotels, delighful food, an accomodating tour guide (Mr. Mohamad Ashmawy), reliable & comfortable transport service,

plus, the romantic & elegant Nile Cruise.

It was in August 2009, when we decided Egypt for a holiday & historical escapade, we search the web of tour

operators that can be, first, RELIABLE & TRUSTWORTHY, then, affordable & flexible. After some time searching, we

were led to the AETBI forum, short-listed some operators & eventually, we singled out Wedjat, based on favorable &

positive testimonials. It didn't take to long for us to settle all our concerns because Wedjat are easy to deal with.

From day 1 to day 10, Wedjat Tour is consistent in taking care of us. We really felt pampered during the holiday tour.

It was an unforgetable experience, because we were very impressive beyond from what we expected. There are not

enough words to thank you and your staff for the fabulous vacation we experienced with Wedjat. We must also

mention some of the staff of Wedjat Tours, the 'tenacious' Ms. Maja Fawzy, on her eagerness helping us planning &

arranging our tour; Mr. Iman, for being so considerably kind & patient to us, especially during 'financial negotations'.

We look forward of availing again your impressive services in the future, Inshallah.

We highly recommend Wedjat Tour!

Thank You & God bless!

Sincerely yours,
Charlee and Emma Ruth Tolopia

While I encourage everyone to seek out the tour company and deal they feel best suits their purposes, I found Wedjat to be ideal for booking a well-arranged tour of Egypt with very few surprises.  From the moment I arrived for my first time in Cairo airport to re-entering Security for the trip back to the UK, it became clear pretty quickly that Wedjat is highly organised and tuned into helping foreign visitors get the most out of their trip to this fascinating country.  After seeing the chaos of the Cairo Airport arrivals area, I was relieved to be able to step into a comfortable car to be taken to the hotel.

 
My personal guide Mohammad El Tahawy accompanied me in Cairo and Luxor and exceeded all my expectations.  He was friendly and very knowledgeable, providing insights into historic and current-day Egypt throughout the entire trip.  My experience with other Wedjat staff was just as pleasant and I appreciated the personal phone calls along the trip.  I was amazed by their attention to every detail and the concern Wedjat showed me throughout the trip. They got me the hotel in Cairo that I wanted and chose a good hotel for me in Luxor.  Not once did I have to think about arrangements for transit to the monuments, etc and entry tickets along the way as most things were included.
 
The Wedjat staff was also very helpful in the pre-booking stage and Tour Operator Hanaa Hussein Awad was brilliant in answering my questions and fine tuning the arrangements before and after booking.  They suggested an itinerary that had a perfect mix of sightseeing and relaxation and I was still able to set the pace for each day, just what I had asked for.
 
Thank you for making my first trip to Egypt a remarkable experience.

We would just like to thank Wedjat tours for an amazing tour to Egypt. We visited Egypt from 14-25 November 2009, but already started planning the tour a year before that. Our tour operator, Maha, made all our arrangements and replied to all our queries promptly. It was so nice to leave everything in her hands, she organised our dream tour. Maha, we cannot thank you enough!

Our tour guide, Hares, was very knowledgeable and friendly. All the stories he told us made everywhere we went extra special. He really became a great friend and bodyguard who protected us from all the hassle on the streets.

The drivers we had in the different cities were always very friendly and willing to help. There were always an airconditioned vehicle waiting for us when we returned from sites.

It was so nice to meet everyone working at Wedjat's office, everyone is so friendly and helpful.

We stayed in a lovely hotel - Barcelo Three pyramids, and the Nile Cruise was everything we hoped it would be.

I will recommend Wedjat tours to everyone who want to visit Egypt. We never had to wait anywhere or had any nasty surprises, everything were organised to the last letter. The tour you plan is the tour you get - and so much more. These are people you can trust with your holiday.

Thank you again for making our dreams come true…

We a group of 7 family members visited Egypt between 22.10.09 to 31.10.09. The tour programme was arranged by M/S Wedjat Tours. We visited Cairo, Giza pyramids, Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Aswan, Abu Simbel and Hurghada during this period.

The programme was finalized after a correspondence with M/S Wedjat Tours for about 4 months, through a series of e-mails. They were very prompt in answering all our queries. Their quotation had no hidden costs.

On arrival at Cairo, we found a vehicle waiting for us, along with a guide. At all the places, the vehicles were in excellent condition, guides were courteous and knowledgeable. The hotels and cruise booked by Wedjat Tours were clean, safe and comfortable. We enjoyed the stay on cruise and the submarine ride at Hurghada immensely.
We are thankful to M/S Wedjat Tours for arranging our tour in such excellent manner & have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone aspiring to visit Egypt.

Dear Shimaa, 

Thank you so much for making my October 2009 trip to Egypt memorable.  I would be honored to recommend Wedjat Tours to other travelers.
 
When I began planning my trip to Egypt, I contacted several tour companies.  The reason I chose Wedjat above the other companies was your effort to provide the best service possible.  Wedjat answered all of my questions and willingly provided me with a list of previous customers to contact as referrals.  I asked whether I could add a trip to Abu Simbel onto the selected itinerary.  I was very impressed when you made the effort to search for a flight that would allow me to go to Abu Simbel without missing out on any other part of the itinerary.  Your kind assistance made my choice of tour company easy!
 
As a young American woman traveling alone to Egypt, I had some concerns about my safety.  Wedjat's frequent communication with me before the trip definitely put me at ease.  During my time in Egypt, I was always accompanied by a Wedjat employee.  My tour guide, Hares, ensured that I was not hassled by people trying to sell tours or souvenirs.  I felt as safe during my travels as I would in my own neighborhood.
 
I can't possibly say enough good things about Hares and the tour he lead.  Hares is extremely knowledgeable and was willing to answer all of my questions.  He ensured that I had everything I needed and saw everything I wanted to see.  Hares was also friendly and fun.  He shared a lot of information about modern Egypt and was eager to hear how Americans do things.  I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him during my trip!
 
I've dreamed of going to Egypt ever since I was a young girl.  Thanks to Wedjat, my trip was everything I had hoped for and more.  Thank you!  Shukran!

I booked a tour with Wedjat several months prior to my scheduled departure for Egypt.  Wedjat sent me a detailed itinerary well in advance of my trip.  The tour operator I worked with, Shimaa Emad, answered all of my questions in a timely fashion.  I felt very comfortable trusting my trip to Wedjat.
 
I arrived at Cairo Airport on Saturday 17 October.  As planned, a Wedjat representative, Mohammed, met me at the airport.  Mohammed, accompanied me to my hotel, stopping along the way to get water for me.  During the drive through Cairo, Mohammed pointed out places of interest, such as the Citadel.  My tour guide, Hares, met us at the hotel.  Mohammed checked me into the hotel.  Hares was happy to take me out into Cairo and help me get a prepaid mobile phone for my trip.  After Mohammed and Hares brought me back to the hotel, I spent the evening getting settled.
 
On Sunday 18 October, Hares met me at the hotel at the scheduled time.  We followed the itinerary provided by Wedjat without any cancellations or changes.  First we visited the Pyramids and the Sphinx, where Hares helped protect me from the camel drivers and men selling souvenirs.  Then we had lunch and went on to the Egyptian Museum.  Hares asked whether I wanted to buy any souvenirs in Cairo.   When I told him what I was looking for, Hares took me to a reputable shop where he knew that I would not be taken advantage of as a tourist.  Again, he helped me bargain and protected me from being harassed.  We returned to the hotel.  Hares arranged for my wake-up call and a boxed breakfast, and left me for the evening.  I had dinner in the hotel and spent the evening relaxing.
 
On Monday 19 October, the hotel provided my wake-up call and boxed breakfast exactly as planned.  Mohammed met me in the hotel at 3 AM to transfer me to Cairo Airport.  He helped me check in and only left once I was settled and had gone through security.  I flew to Abu Simbel, where I was met by another Wedjat representative (Wally, I think?) in the airport.  The representative took me to the Temple of Ramses II and stayed with me until my guide for the morning, Heba, met us.  Heba explained both temples to me in detail and allowed me time to explore by myself and take pictures.  She stayed with me until the Wedjat representative returned to take me to the airport.  The representative did not leave until he was certain that I was settled and ready to board my flight.  I flew to Aswan, where Hares met me.  We transferred to the cruise ship, and Hares took care of getting checked in.  After lunch, we followed the itinerary provided to me-- the High Dam, the Temple of Philae and the Unfinished Obelisk.  On our return to the cruise, Hares left me to relax, have dinner and attend the bellydancer show on the ship that night.  Although he gave me freedom to realx, Hares checked on me several times to ensure that I had whatever I needed.  He arranged for a wake-up call the next morning as well.
 
On Tuesday 20 October, I received the wake-up call as scheduled.  Hares followed the itinerary exactly.  We saw the Temple of Kom Ombo, where Hares gave me a full guided tour and then allowed me time to explore and take pictures on my own.  We returned to the cruise for breakfast and a few hours to relax.  We docked in Edfu and visited the Temple of Horus.  We returned to the ship for lunch, then spent the afternoon cruising to Esna.  Hares made sure to find me when we reached Esna so he could explain how the lock worked and point out sites of interest while we waited.  After dinner, Hares attended the party on board and cheered loudly while I competed with other passengers in several games.  Again, Hares arranged for my wake-up call and ensured that I was settled before leaving me for the night.
 
On Wednesday 21 October, I received the wake-up call as scheduled.  Hares and I visited the sites as listed on my itinerary-- the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hapshetsut, the Valley of the Queens, and the Colossi of Memnon.  Again, Hares took me to reputable stores to purchase my souvenirs and helped me bargain.  We returned to the cruise for lunch and arranged to meet to explore Luxor further.  Hares gave me freedom to schedule our afternoon as I wanted.  After a nice walk along the Nile, we returned to the cruise for dinner and a free evening.
 
On Thursday 22 October, I received my wake-up call.  Hares helped me check out of the cruise, and we visited the sites listed on my itinerary-- Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple.  He made certain that I purchased all the souvenirs I wanted.  He stayed with me through my arrival at Luxor Airport, where another Wedjat representative helped me check in and go through security.  I flew from Luxor to Cairo, where I met up with Mohammed again.  He helped me transfer from the domestic terminal to the international terminal, then stayed with me until I got through security and departed for home.
 
Shimaa called Hares on the day I arrived in Egypt and the day I left to speak with me and ensure that everything was in order.  The owner of Wedjat also called on my last day to ask if everything was in order.

We were really happy of finally deciding to do this trip, we planned and saved money since last year, and we are glad we decided to do this dreamed trip with Wedjat Tours which is a very serious company but also really friendly. We do not hesitate to recommend the services of the agency to our family and friends in Mexico and abroad.

 Maha Fawzy our operator prepared a really nice tour in different sights of Egypt (Aswan, Luxor, Cairo and Alexandria), a really cool Nile cruise and the hotel in Cairo was also great. We were all the time accompanied by our guide Mohammed who was always willing to explain us everything about Egypt history, pharaohs period, pyramids, etc. We learned many things and we experienced many things we only had the chance to see on the books. Me and my family will definitely come back; at least I'm sure I will come back with my boyfriend soon. They invited us to their office before leaving to the airport to meet the operators and also the managers of the company and to drink a coffee with them, this was a really nice gesture from them and they also gave us CD of Egyptian music. We loved this experience so much!!

Many thanks go to the team at Wedjat Tours for our recent tour of Egypt..

From the time we landed at Cairo Airport, Sam was there to met us and help us with Visa requirements, immigration etc.  Then we went to our new & comfortable hotel, in Giza - Three Pyramids.  The next day we were collected by our Egyptologist Mahmoud, tour assistant Mahomid and driver Abdul and taken to the Pyramids, Sphinx, Coptic Cairo, Cairo Museum and Bazaar.
 
The following day we flew to Aswan (ask for the 7.30am flight, not the 5.30am flight) was met at the airport, by our Egyptologist Mahmoud, who accompanied us everywhere and was driven to our Nile Cruiser -Mojito, which was roomy and comfortable then toured to see the Aswan high dam; Philae Temple and the Stele quarry, in the afternoon we had a
Felucca ride around Elephantine Island, this was one of the most wonderful memories of our trip.
 
On the next day we stopped at Komombo and Edfu Temples and Cruised up the Nile River coming to Luxor (Thebes).
The next day we visited the Valley of the Kings; the Temple of Hapshetsut & Collosi of Memnon, and the wonderfully painted workers tombs at Del ABeir.
In the evening we took ourselves to the Sound & Light Show at Karnak.
 
The next day we toured the massive Temple complex at Karnak and then the Luxor Temple.
At all these Mahmoud gave us a wonderful history and he answered all our questions on Egyptian culture, politics and family life.
We fly back to Cairo at 4pm and spent the last night in our comfortable hotel.
 
The next day we were driven to the airport for our flights home.
 
We are happy to recommend Wedjat Tours for your visit to Egypt.
They included in their price everything we wanted to see, and assisted us every step of the way.
They were reliable and trustworthy and made our holiday memorable!

TRAVEL NARRATIVE
My wife and I arrived at Cairo International Airport in the late afternoon after a long overnight flight that had been delayed in New York City for over 2 hours. Tired, we were met by a representative from Wedjat Tours who helped us through the entry process and helped us get our bags. We were then picked up at the curb by the waiting van and driven to our hotel in Giza for the night where the helpful representative from Wedjat helped us check in and get our bags up to our room. This was our first taste of “exciting” Cairo traffic that is certainly quite different from driving back in America.
After enjoying our breakfast the next morning, we were greeted in the lobby by Maha from Wedjat and our guide Khedr for our first day of vacation.  Our van was waiting to take us to our first destination – the pyramids at Saqqara. Ancient Egyptian history has fascinated me since I was a kid so seeing my first pyramid in person is something I will never forget. We quickly learned how knowledgeable our guide Khedr is. His knowledge of Egyptian history goes far beyond anything I had read in books in America and he brought great insight into all of the destinations we visited. I never expected to have a PhD student in Egyptian history as our personal guide for the trip. 
After visiting Saqqara and quick visit to a local carpet school, we made our way back through the “exciting” streets of Cairo to eat lunch and then on to the Great Pyramids at Giza. Even though I had seen hundreds of pictures of the Pyramids in books and on TV, I was still amazed by their size and grandeur. After having to chance to tour the site (and even go for a camel ride), we took a quick visit an essence and papyrus shop to learn how the distinctly Egyptian goods are made. That night we walked down the street from our hotel to a local restaurant our guide had recommended. Even at night by ourselves, we felt perfectly safe walking in Giza and very much enjoyed the Egyptian food. We found the people of Egypt to very friendly and helpful and made our visit to Egypt a pleasure.
The next morning we were again greeted by Khedr for our day of sightseeing. In the morning, we went to visit Coptic Cairo and Islamic Cairo. The amount of history in Egypt is very impressive. Famous for its Ancient Egyptian wonders, Egypt also has Greek, Roman, early Christian, and Muslim historical sites. Again, Khedr’s knowledge of early Christian and Muslim history was extensive.
In the afternoon, we went to visit the Egyptian Museum with its world famous collection of Ancient Egyptian artifacts including artifacts recovered from the tomb of Tutankhamen. Khedr gave us a tour around the bottom floor showing us some of the more significant and impressive artifacts and explaining Egyptian history through the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. We even decided to pay the extra fee to see the preserved mummies in the climate controlled rooms on the upper floor of the museum.
That night we made our way to Aswan on a 12-hour sleeper train ride. After having breakfast on the train, we arrived in Aswan where Khedr was waiting for us having taken an earlier train. That day we went to visit the Aswan High Dam. After visiting the dam, we took the short boat ride to visit the Temple at Philae, a Greek-Egyptian temple dating to the time of Greek rule in Egypt. We then were transferred to the Nile River boat where we would be spending the next few days. That evening we took a felluca (small single sail boat) across the Nile to a Kitchener Island Botanical Gardens where my wife got her fill of flowers – a very beautiful and unique location.
We spent our first night on the boat while traveling to Kom Ombo overnight (the second of three Greek-Egyptian temples we would visit along the Nile on our way to Luxor). We then continued north along the Nile to Edfu Temple in the afternoon. The river cruise was also an excellent opportunity to experience the beauty of the Nile and get a glimpse of life in rural Egypt.
After our second night aboard the cruise, we awoke in Luxor. We went early in the morning to visit the Valley of Kings. Definitely a dream come true for me to see the legendary canyon in person and be able to enter three tombs. Although the tombs themselves get pretty hot, it was well worth it. After the Valley of the Kings, we drove a short distance back to see the Temple of Hatshepsut which is carved out of solid rock. Khedr gave us a great tour and told us all about Queen Hatshepsut’s unique life and her impact on Ancient Egyptian history. 
After an afternoon break, we took a short walk in Luxor from the boat to Luxor Temple in the evening. Following our third and final night on the boat, we visited the famous Karnak temple the next morning. What a history in that site alone which Khedr was able to educate us about.
That afternoon, we got back aboard the van and made the drive to Hurghada on the beautiful Red Sea coast where we had made arrangements with Wedjat to spend four days scuba diving in the Red Sea. The Red Sea is certainly a hidden treasure to most Americans. It has beautifully clear turquoise water and world class coral reefs for diving. We had a great time diving with the great people of Lighthouse Dive Center. 
After spending four days and five nights in Hurghada, we made our drive back in our own personal van to the same hotel in Giza where we started our trip and made a second visit to our new Egyptian restaurant down the street. We spent our last day in Egypt going to Alexandria on the Mediterranean Sea coast. Khedr joined us again to take us to visit to the Catacombs, Pompey’s Pillar, and the famous Library. Alexandria is a great example of the immense amount history there is in Egypt with its Greek heritage Roman influences. 
We made the quick trip back from Alexandria for a short rest and refresher in our hotel in Giza and on to the airport to fly back to America. It was really a fantastic and action-packed trip to make me happy with just enough relaxation for my wife. We would certainly recommend a trip to Egypt for anyone interested and Wedjat Tours is the way to experience Egypt.

Thanks,

Brett Schneider

Maha Fawzy was wonderful coordinating the Tour. She was speedy in her e-mail correspondence. She was a delight in person as we spent a day together. There were several phone calls making sure we were happy.

Our Tour guide Ahmed Abbas Hassan was exceptional. He was our private escort for the entire tour. He was knowledgeable in every aspect of our questions. He made the vacation the success it was.
Thank you for a wonderful vacation of a life time.

After much research, I had narrowed down a few companies to assist us with our trip. Wedjat Tours' reputation, flexibility and fair pricing helped me to decide on enlisting their services. I'd really like to thank Wedjat Tours but, especially Maha Fawzy for her dedication, patience and diligence in arranging a wonderful tour for our often complicated 9 person group!

As a group of 9 young adults, arranging a spring tour to Egypt initially seemed like a daunting task, but the process was relatively smooth and easy once I got in contact with Wedjat Tours. Wedjat Tours remained flexible and allowed us to customize our tour as we needed and wanted.

Emails were responded to promptly, and Maha demonstrated knowledge of her industry on many occasions when answering my questions and making recommendations. I would imagine that our constant changes would have been frustrating for her, but she never showed any signs of frustration and always remained very professional in her communications with me.

Trip planning began many months prior to our departure, but we experienced many changes with people not being able to come, and flights being cancelled and rescheduled, and people having to depart on different dates. Most of these unexpected changes occurred in the last month prior to our departure, but Maha and Wedjat Tours remained considerate and accommodating of the countless changes our itinerary required.

Overall, our 10 day tour through Upper and Lower Egypt was amazing and the trip exceeded our expectations. All the small details were taken care of from the moment we landed. We had private transportation, nice accommodations, admissions to sites, a well-paced itinerary consisting of a variety of sites, and the majority of our food all pre-arranged, all exactly as we were informed. Maha matched our group with a fun, knowledgeable, fantastic guide and Egyptologist, Mahmoud Ramadan. We were relieved to have developed a true, natural rapport with him.

Mahmoud seemed more like a friend to us, and we enjoyed spending time with him outside of the official, listed itinerary activities and many of us have kept in touch with him since leaving Egypt.

I would not have any reservations about using the services of Wedjat Tours in the future and would be happy to have Mahmoud guide me through another tour. The only thing we wish were different, was that we had a longer vacation!

Thank you Maha, Mahmoud and Wedjat Tours for our patience and expertise.

I cannot imagine what the outcome would have been had I tried to arrange this trip without you. Enlisting your help and assistance was one of the smartest things I could have done. The entire group was impressed with the trip and we have many wonderful memories and photographs we will keep with us. It was also a nice touch to have Maha join us on the first and last days of our trip, as it was lovely to finally meet the person I had communicated with for many months before arriving in Cairo. Also thanks to Mohammed, we enjoyed your company when you were around. Thanks for the CDs!

Thanks again Wedjat Tours, we wish you all the best.

Cheers,

Yuki H.

Hi Mai
 
Just a big thank you for organising a wonderful holiday in Egypt for us.
 
From the time we were picked up at the airport by Mahmoud until the time we were dropped back 14 days later by Mohammad we were taken care of and looked after by Wedjats staff.
 
The 14 days were incredible and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
 
Mahmoud our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly, he is an asset to Wedjat. He went out of his way to ensure we had a amazing holiday and anything we asked of him he delivered.  We felt we had made a lifetime friend of him when we left Egypt and still miss his smiling face.
 
Mohammad was also great, and so eager to learn. The drivers you supplied, were smiling, obliging and very careful in their driving in the incredible traffic.
 
And you taking the time to come and meet us in Cairo at our hotel, Mai it was lovely and unexpected. Your assistance through the months of planning this trip was above and beyond what we expected.  We could not have done it without you.
 
The personal approach that Wedjat take is exceptional and I have already been recommended you Mai, Mahmoud and Wedjat to all my friends.
 

Kind regards and please keep in touch

Hi Maha!

 We are home and suffering a little from jet lag!  Our trip was amazing!!  Thank you again for all your help!

  As I look back, the only thing I wish I had known was about all the tipping.  I wasn't aware of all the money we would need- even in the water closets!  But it all worked out and all of you could not have been nicer!
  I will definitely recommend your company to anyone who may be travelling there and who knows- we may come back sometime!!!
  My best to all of you!
