Great family experience with friends - We stayed two full days with our guide Yasser (for Felice friends) and got to visit all the main monuments.
Yasser was very helpful and participatory.
He understood our needs as we were traveling with 4 children from 7 to 10 years.
It allowed us to delve deeper into the topics that interested us most and be more resolute about those that interested us least.
Definitely a very prepared guide.
It allowed us to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere and civilization of ancient Egypt in just two days.
It was also very kind to offer us all the amenities they needed (juices, water...) as well as recommending places to eat.
Agency recommended and even more recommended guide.
Very well also transport with their comfortable and air-conditioned van (essential).
Great Yasser the last Pharaoh!!

Great short trip to Saqqara - My tour didn't include the pyramids but we had a great time at Memphis and Saqqara.
Khalefa was really nice, he gave us very thorough explanations about everything we visited and he adapted the tour to our needs, since we were in a tight schedule to get to the airport afterwards.
Overall, a great experience, very recommended!

Lovely Tour Guide - Visited Sakkara on the last day of my tour. Loved the energy that Khalefa brought! Took care of us, gave us plenty of new knowledge regarding Egypt now and in the past, and even bought us lunch! Has a sense of humour too. Would highly recommend :)

He is knowledgeable, friendly and has a great sense of humor. The personal touch he brings to each member of the group is phenomenal, leaving you with lots of memorable moments in addition to the sights and sounds of Egypt

Egypt - it doesn’t get much better than this! - I cannot recommend this tour enough! We had Ibrahim as our guide and not only was he extremely knowledgeable and passionate he was very sensitive to the needs of our group. We were taken to the sites early to avoid the crowds and his understanding of Egyptology was fascinating. He has many contacts who care for both locals and tourists. I did not get the impression that this was a tour to ‘fill the pockets’. If you want an honest guide who is passionate about his country and is welcoming of all people then this is for you. So much to see in so little time- but it’s worth it!

Egypt Tours Gate is the Obvious Choice for All Your Tour Needs! - We were referred to Ibrahim's tour company through a friend, and I'm so glad we found his team! Our first tour with Egypt Tours Gate was in Cairo for the Giza Pyramids, Sakkara Pyramids, and Memphis with Khalid (aka "Elvis" - he's not afraid to sing!). It was a full day of sight-seeing, and we had a super clean and well-airconed van to ourselves for the day. Elvis' knowledge of the sites is second to none; if you can request him for your tour, definitely do!
After a fantastic tour in Cairo, we traveled down to Luxor, where Ibrahim arranged a few tour components for us, including: Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, multiple stops in the Valley of the Kings (3 included tombs + 3 extras that we requested; Seti I is a must), and a sunrise hot air balloon tour over the valley. The hot air balloon ride was spectacular at that point in the day, and I would highly recommend everyone do it. It's worth getting up early for, I promise :)
We then traveled (by car) to Aswan and stopped to visit the temples at Kom Ombo and Edfu. For both Luxor and the temples on the way to Aswan, we had a guide named Mamdouh who was also very knowledgable. The main advantage of booking with Egypt tours gate is that you can customize your itinerary (group vs. private tours, sites you want to skip/include), and you know that your guides are going to be trained professionals who *love* to share their knowledge of Egypt.
In addition to all of the praise above, I just want to give a quick shoutout to Ibrahim who started this company right after COVID and has already grown it to be one of the most reputable tour providers in Egypt (for good reason!). We got to meet him over hookah at a cafe in Luxor, and he is genuinely the nicest human. Not to mention, he has the best restaurant recs for all of the places you may go in Egypt!
We hope to be back and to use Egypt Tours Gate for the places we didn't get to see this time, like Siwa, Alexandria, and maybe Marsa Alam.

I’ve been on tours before and can honestly say this one was the best because we had the right guide Ibrahim.🙏 - My Experience was fabulous start to finish!!!
My girl group was so fortunate to have had a guide Ibrahim Mahdy Ibrahim with his background of being an Egyptologist made all the difference in the world being able to explain each and every excursion we went on as well as questions any of us had plus spoke English pretty perfect!! Ibrahim took us to some pretty amazing places probably most tours don’t go on. We were hosted by a private family for dinner in Aswan on the Nubian island Elephantine. Sweet family that made us so welcome and the best food!!! the boat ride over and back was dancing, laughing, a true event.
Being a group of girls was very important to have Ibrahim with us he watched over us, protected us and just understood girls need lots of pee breaks lol!!! thank god for him!!!! The last day 10 hours before I left and last girl to go home he checked on me because he knew I didn’t feel well and ended up taking time away from his family to take me to the airport 🙏. Over the top red carpet treatment.
