Worth a visit (especially whilst the King Tut stuff is still there) - This place has been cleaned up and re-organised over the years and is now a much more pleasant visit. The highlight is the King Tut room and be aware that will move to the new Museum whenever they manage to finish it. So our Top Tip is to check where that stuff is first (after Nov 23). The rest of the museum is really interesting and benefits from a local guide which our other other Top Tip is to make sure you have one with you or you'll miss some of the key points. Definitely worth a visit and you'll need 2-3 hours.

Best tour company in Egypt! Best journey ever - I’m a solo traveler from the uk and I stayed at “THE BEST VIEW PYRAMID HOTEL” As I needed a tour I searched up local tours and “THE TRAVEL CONNECTION TOURS” was one that caught my eye. I booked the “Egyptian museum tour, which also included the mosque and the citadel. The driver turned up to my hotel right on time, and he treated me like an old friend. He spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable as well as being a very safe driver. The price for the tour was amazing and I didn’t want it to end. (5 star service). I would definitely recommend this tour company for all the uk!

The only way to see Egypt with Travel Connection Tours - When exploring Egypt you can not go further than The Travel Connection Tours. Mohammed the owner and his diligent team looked after me from my arrival throughout my time in Egypt until my departure. I was toured through Cairo and Giza including the pyramids sphinx and religious complex and holy sites. The tour guides drivers and support staff spoke wonderful English and really showed how much they cared about my experience and comfort. The owner Mohammed really wants to exhibit Egyptian hospitality by allowing the most seamless and comprehensive experience without feeling stressed hassled or obligated to buy or tip further. I was treated to many local experiences on the invitation of Mohammed who treated me to a wonderful dinner by the pyramids which I will never forget. You will feel part of a family and truly a valued guest when touring with Travel Connection Tours. I will never go past this company in my travels to and from Egypt.

Egypt Trip 2020 - Amazing tour experience in Egypt. I am from the United States and had a great time trekking through the desert on a camel exploring one of the 7 Wonders of the World. I would absolutely recommend anyone booking through this tour company if you are looking for an authentic and fun time in Cairo. We explored the Pyramids, Sphinx, rode on camels and got to see the Papyrus Museum and Egyptian Cotton Factory. An awesome experience that id highly recommend to anyone. You’ll regret booking elsewhere. Lifetime experience.

The Travel Connection Tours Amazing Company - The travel connection tours is an amazing company. I came from Denver, Colorado . I traveled alone , I would absolutely recommend this travel connection tour . It took all of the worry out of planning and was extremely helpful and accommodating. We had an English speaking driver and tour guide along each step who were extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the historical landmarks . I highly recommend the travel connection tour , best company in Egypt . If you book, choose Hanan the tour guide & travel connection tour. I went to Alexandria, and went to the library , it was breathtaking.
