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.

Tour was amazing, it was everything I wanted to see. Our tour guide Amir was incredible, I cannot find the words to describe what a unique, patient, kind, considerate and understanding man he is. He made the trip worth while and his knowledge on all the outings we took was impeccable. ”
I loved this tour. It was absolutely amazing. Overall everything that you read online or on the brochure is pretty much accurate. We went to the pyramids, valley of the kings, Luxor, Aswan. Everyone in the group was fun. I also went to Alexandria for the day and it was worth it to go from the north of Egypt to the south. My guide in Alexandria,Nash was also very kind, gave tons of knowledge about the area and history and very accommodating as well. I feel for the price paid, i got more than what I was expecting. I do want to come back to Egypt in the future now. But thank you Amir for making the trip a memorable one.”
This was our first group tour ever and my family and I are greatly impressed and grateful this was our first experience as we had a complete blast! MoMo, our tour guide, made the trip, he went above and beyond to accommodate everyone one on the tour. He was also extremely knowledgeable, humorous and very patient with everyone. I can't say enough positive things, because of our outstanding experience we would definitely consider another group tour with On The Go. MoMo, you're the best.”
