I highly recommend this trip as it was thoroughly enjoyable, thanks to the great efforts of the organizers and an extremely friendly team dedicated to ensuring a safe and memorable experience for us. Special thanks to the Hurghada team who accompanied us throughout the journey.
Communication / Pickup: A day before, I received a text requesting my room number and hotel details. Once provided, I received an estimated pickup time, and the team arrived promptly at the hotel reception. The process was well-organized.
Travel: We all know that the journey from Hurghada to Cairo and back was long, but the coaches were much more comfortable than many airline seats. There were well-placed comfort breaks, similar to UK motorway services, offering snacks, cold drinks, coffee, hot food, and clean facilities. Cards were accepted, and the quality of service was excellent. The stop at Seattle Coffee was particularly enjoyable, and I appreciate the team's choice of good places.
Attractions: We visited all the attractions in the itinerary, with sufficient time at each location. Tips on do's and don'ts were provided before every attraction, enhancing the overall experience. Optional extras were available for a hassle-free trip, and I strongly recommend exploring the pyramids using a camel or horse for a unique experience. The camel ride leader was friendly and took great pictures of us.
Lunch: The buffet lunch provided was good.
Drop-off: The team organized the drop-off, ensuring everyone reached their respective hotels smoothly. Thanks a lot.
Overall Tips:
a. Cash: It's advisable to have Egyptian pounds and optional USD for purchases, snacks, drinks, perfumes, or tips.
b. Tips: For optional extras like camel rides, we offered tips after taking pictures and some split it at two locations i.e after taking pictures and at the end of the ride. Additionally, appreciation to the team(driver, sercurity, Aymun, etc) was shown with tips once all activities in Cairo were finished during our return to Hurghada
Service/Safety: The service was of a high standard, and the team prioritized safety.
Thanks a lot for the extremely professional service; it is much appreciated.
