fantastic excursion, it took us a little longer on the round trip but it is absolutely worth it. only flaw: it is a little cold on the bus. they will ask you to put 10€ more for the buffet lunch and the boat transport, the rest is all included in the price. there will also be two pleasant additional stops: one in an oil and perfume shop and the other in the papyrus museum, both will be very quick. upon arrival under the pyramids they will ask you if you want to go in (+30€) or if you want to go on a camel ride in the Sahara desert (+10€), which we did and it was very beautiful. in case you don't want to, you are free to wander around the pyramids. highly recommended! ♥️

This is truly an experience you shouldn’t miss when visiting Sinai! As a beginner, I found the hike manageable, though I did unfortunately sprain my ankle on the way down. But what happened next made the experience unforgettable. I’m incredibly grateful to the Bedouin guides who supported me every step of the way, the kindness of fellow hikers, and especially the lovely lady from Lithuania in our group who showed such care. A special thank you as well to Mr. Said, who was exceptionally accommodating and constantly checked in on me. Despite the mishap, this journey was beyond worth it, and the people made it even more special. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars

this is the most difficult tour of all possible ✨️ you need a flashlight and very warm clothes, like in winter and light. comfortable shoes. the way to the top is 7 km. down 7 km. the Bedouins are great, they organized everything, but at every step there is money, money. on camels it is convenient up, down is just brutal. we were very pleased with this adventure! but we were frozen and did not feel our legs 🤣🙈 for those who like to walk

5 out of 5 stars

Organisation was very good and guides were helpful on a tough night time climb. Warm clothing and strong walking shoes are a must on a 7,500 ft mountain.
