Home to one of the world’s first great civilisations and more ancient wonders than you can shake a stick at, Egypt needs little introduction. With world famous pyramids, tomb strewn Valley of the Kings and the mighty temples of Abu Simbel, Egypt has attracted travellers since classical times. But there's more to Egypt than pharaohs, mummies and hieroglyphics. Take a luxury cruise or sail aboard a felucca on the longest river in the world - the Nile, or experience world class diving and snorkelling in the Red Sea.

Mahmoud was really great! He had all of this fantastic knowledge of the areas and the history. He didn't mind answering all of our questions about random things either.
The Jordan part of my tour was amazing. I really did love Jordan, and I'll probably go back. Everything was well structured and the trip progressed very smoothly. Mahmoud was more than happy to recommend and show us local places for eating and shopping.
Eypgt is beautiful and teeming with history. I'm so happy I went, and our guide - Alam - was brilliant . A bit quiet to start with, but by day 3 he'd warmed up to us and revealed his wicked sense of humour. Alam was more than happy to barging on our behalf in the markets, and shared so much of his knowledge of Egypt's history - both recent and ancient. ”
The tour was wonderful. Great hotels. Great excursions. Maybe a little more time for shopping.
A nice mix of history and then beach at the end was perfect. Nile cruise was wonderful.
Nader was amazing! Very professional, knowledgeable and so patient!
Transfers and local reps also very good
The train was quite the experience! Not sure you can prepare anyone for that!
All in all 5 star and I would not hesitate to recommend 'King Ramses' or On the Go ”
Absolutely the BEST trip ever. Our guide made us feel safe and provided all the knowledge about the amazing sites in Egypt. Our accommodations were top notch. Nader had every detail planned and organised.
I would highly recommend On the Go Tours.”
