Sunniest city of Egypt and a popular touristic stop for many cruises. The local market here is an excellent place to do some shopping and to find Egyptian fresh spices.
Cairo is the sprawling capital city of Egypt, located on the banks of the Nile River, known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and bustling city life.
Edfu has the most complete and best-preserved temple in Egypt, the Ptolemaic Temple of Horus, which was constructed between 237 BC and 57 BC
The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and the only one still remaining to this day. An absolute must see.
Kom Ombo means ‘hill of the gold’ crowned with Temple of Komombo. The temple is unusual as one side is dedicated to the god Haroesis and the other side to Sobek.
A top travel destination in Egypt with a wealth of historic monuments and buildings bringing Egypt’s fabled past to life. Luxor is called the world’s greatest open air museum.
Philae Temple, a beautiful temple complex is one of the most picturesque in all of Egypt. It sits on Aglika Island just south of the old Aswan Dam.
The 42m long obelisk was left unfinished when some cracks appeared, but had this obelisk been completed, it would have been the heaviest, weighing nearly 1100 tons!

100% worth it. Its a fast pace tour but you really get to see all of the highlights. Accommodation, transport, and lodging was great! Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. However, he was little deceptive about a few of the optional side tours. Overall I would highly recommend this tour!

Just finished this tour. One of the best holiday experiences I’ve had. It is a full on itinerary, and the sleeper trains aren’t exactly the orient express in its prime, that said we saw more of Egypt than we’d ever have seen had we tried to attempt the trip ourselves. Felt safe and secure the entire time. Mohammed was an excellent guide – incredibly knowledgeable, while also very friendly and he helped made the group come together. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in visiting Egypt.

Mixed feelings from the trip to Egypt. Our tour guide Mo was exceptional and very knowledgeable. The pyramids and temples are amazing to see, along with learning about the ancient Egyptian history. On the other hand, Egypt is a very dirty country and you can see debris everywhere, like it is a war happening. Also, majority of the people in the tour had food poisoning because of the contaminated water that the food products are being washed with – me and my partner are still suffering with stomach issues and we came back three days ago. Apparently, you should not even be washing your teeth with tap water. The hotels accommodation was mediocre, and the sleeper train was one of the worst experiences of my life. Take in consideration that the tour is non-stop, visiting many temples constantly for long time under the heat, plus that you need to wake up around 2:30am for the optional activities. No time to rest really and changing hotels every night almost (only on the cruise we had a room for three nights, but still had to wake up super early). Bare in mind that you need lots of money to spend in tipping in Egypt, as unfortunately they treat the tourists as walking ATM machines. Tipping even the guy that gives you toilet paper outside the toilets, even though there may be already toilet paper inside the toilet, ridiculous really. When shopping souvenirs never buy on the price they tell you first…rip off with no common sense thinking that the tourists don’t have brain. They tried to sell me an ashtray for 25 euros and 5 magnets for 30 euros….I mean come on really!!! I spent much more money in Egypt that I expected, considering it is a 3rd world country and should be cheaper.
I would recommend Travel Talk Tours because of the safety that a group tour provides and because you have the option to see many places and sites without the hustle of organising it yourself when going to countries that you have lots of things to see.

From start to finish, this tour was incredible. Gliding down the Nile was an unforgettable experience and I loved every moment of the cruise: the food was exceptional and the views were spectacular. Travel Talk is an exceptional travel company with an excellent customer service.
