Quality Tour of Egypt We recently returned from a 12 day trip to Egypt organized by Osiris Tours. From the first contact with Mahmoud I knew this was the company I wanted to plan my trip. Mahmoud was very responsive and planned an itinerary to Cairo, Aswan and Luxor that hit all the highlights but also kept things at a pace that we could enjoy the magnificent sites we were experiencing. Upon arrival in Cairo we were met by representatives that whisked us through the visa process and delivered us to our hotel. Each airport transfer went equally as smoothly. Our guides Marwa (Cairo) and Ismial (Aswan and Luxor) were knowledgeable (an understatement!), professional and attentive. They were simply wonderful. Our drivers were prompt and courteous. We were pleased with all our accommodations and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and friendly staffs. This was a great trip that ran smoothly from beginning to end thanks to all the professionals that Osiris arranged. Egypt was a fantastic place to visit. We never felt unsafe and would love to return in the future! I would not hesitate to use Osiris Tours again.

Incredible holiday experience with Osiris Tours Osiris Tours gave us the most special and memorable experience of Egypt. From the initial contact, to the planning, during the trip and afterwards. Everything was meticulously planned. I can't speak highly enough of Mahmoud and his team. Read all the other reviews on TripAdvisor, Google etc (I've posted longer ones elsewhere because Mahmoud and his team deserve the recognition!) to see how much everyone absolutely loved their experience with Osiris Tours.

Smoothest Trip to Egypt We would rate our whole experience with Osiris Tours as a 5/5! Everything was so smooth-- from the planning stages of creating our personalized itinerary almost a year out to our first airport pick-up to the last, all the guides (Mohamed, Khalaf, and Sam), drivers, airport reps, etc. were kind, timely, informative, and helpful. They made us feel safe and well taken care of the entire time and were always willing to integrate our personal wants into the trip. When it surprisingly rained one day in Aswan, they worked to fit our planned activities into other days while also making that day itself enjoyable through last-minute museum and market trips. All our accommodations were lovely and helpful when it came to arranging early box breakfasts and shuttle transportation. Mahmoud was also extremely responsive to emails throughout the process and quickly answered our questions, which we so appreciated. We certainly recommend their business!

Overall it was wonderful! Overall it was wonderful! We loved our tour guides: Marwa Khater in Cairo and Mahmoud Farah in Aswan and Luxor. Marwa is an excellent photographer and felt like a welcoming aunt. She was super passionate about everything. Mahmoud has a great sense of humor and is very kind. He had some Egyptian money for us to borrow for the restrooms. Both guides were extremely knowledgeable. We immensely enjoyed talking to them about modern Egyptian culture and daily life. They were also interested in our personal lives too. Every hotel had its perks. They all had security measures to keep us safe. The hotels in Cairo were very accessible. We loved the food and surrounding environment of Movenpick. Jolie Ville had beautiful landscaping and the zoo was very fun. The tour guides were fantastic and friendly. The biggest takeaway was that we felt safe the entire time we were with our talented guides. We were told that Egypt is the safest Middle Eastern country and we could feel that too. They made the trip smooth with great suggestions to make the most of our time, the best shops, and when to avoid major crowds from other cruises and big tour groups. Our trip included great adventure at the beginning and we also had time to relax towards the end of the trip. Osiris Tours compiled a great personalized itinerary for us. You won’t regret booking them! Tips: Ask if water and snacks will be provided & the amount of downtime you'll have between traveling and the excursions. Wear comfy shoes & hat!

A 10-Star Trip of a Lifetime to Egypt and Jordan In March 2024, Marcy and I and two friends took the bucket list trip of a lifetime arranged by Mahmoud Gebril of Osiris Tours. We worked with Mahoud for over two years planning our itinerary (hoping that the Grand Egyptian Museum would open – it didn’t) that included virtually everything we wanted to see. Our base of operations in Cairo was the Four Seasons at First Residence Hotel. Our sights included the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, the Pyramids at Giza, Djoser’s Step Pyramid at Sakkara, and the Cairo Museum (which is still fantastic). Our guide Ahmed was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in so many ways. The camel ride was a complete hoot, and our camel jockey was hysterical! We flew from Cairo to Aswan, visited the Philae Temple by boat and stayed at the amazing historic Old Cataract Hotel where Agatha Christie wrote Death on the Nile. The long round-trip drive to Abu Simbel – I was not prepared for its immensity and desolate beauty - was very interesting, and not only that, it rained for the first time in 9 years. We then drove to Luxor, stopping at the Kom Ombo and Edfu temples along the way. Because of our early departure, there were virtually no crowds at either temple, and we were able to take our time while our terrific guide, Essam (aka Sam) Hamed, who explained everything to us (as he did since we met him in Aswan). During our stay in Luxor, based out of the equally historic Winter Palace Hotel, we went on a hot air balloon ride, toured the Valley of the Kings (tombs of King Tut, Seti I and Rameses IV, V and VI). The next day, Sam and our driver agreed that us old-timers needed a little rest, so we had the morning off. Later we visited the Karnak and Luxor Temples, which are simply mind-boggling. If that weren’t enough, we also visited the beautiful Dendera temple complex with its amazing colorful ceilings and wall paintings. On our last day in Luxor, we visited the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, which is simply astounding, as well as the impressive Habu Temple. I cannot say enough good things about Sam, our guide in Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Luxor. He is an extremely accomplished Egyptologist, as well as a very friendly and very funny guy. We bonded with him immediately. He reordered our itinerary on-the-fly to give us the maximum of experiences while taking into account our stamina and energy levels. It was a long, but interesting drive from Amman to Wadi Musa where we stayed at the delightful 5-star Movenpick Hotel Petra. Mohamed, our driver and erstwhile guide took us the back way into Petra, past an ancient Crusader castle, and the mountainous scenery on the way was truly breathtaking. Petra was even more mind-boggling than Abu Simbel and covers a huge area where the ancient Nabateans carved amazing tombs and dwellings into solid rock. Our guide, Sameer, was just great. The next day we drove to Wadi Rum where we stayed at the Memories Aicha Desert Camp. Nobody can be prepared for the desert beauty of Wadi Rum – it was just spectacular. It was a very long (4 hours) drive back to the Movenpick Dead Sea Hotel and Resort – a huge complex right on the water. The girls took advantage of the Dead Sea mud and had a great time getting all muddied up by the lifeguard. All in all, we were all just delighted with all our arrangements. Processing through the Cairo and Amman airports was easy and seamless with our facilitators and drivers timely and on the spot. We were whisked door-to-door and never had to handle our luggage. There is no doubt that we will be going back to Egypt and Jordan – there was not one instant where we did not feel completely safe, and people are friendly, outgoing and helpful. BTW, there is WiFi everywhere. I, for one, must see the GEM when it’s finally open, and I’d love to take a Nile River cruise, and now that I’ve already seen virtually everything, I can pick and choose when to get off the boat! Osiris Tours gets a solid five stars. I would give them 10 stars, if I could. You cannot go wrong.
