GBWonderful experience I took a 9 day trip booked with Atlantis tours as a part of a program with my university. We traveled to 3 countries: Egypt, Jordan, and Israel. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Everything was planned for us ahead of time and as a result we’re able to pack in lots of wonderful excursions! I did not have to worry about anything. Maher and the guides provided knowledgable tours at the different sites we visited while keeping things light and humorous which really kept our spirits up. I know a lot of people have have reservations about traveling to the Middle East given the current political climate but I truly felt safe and well taken cared of. The accommodations arranged for us really exceed my expectations, from the meals to the hotels and the excursions. I highly recommend booking with Atlantis Tours!

GBA Memorable Experience This was my first travel experience to Egypt. I don’t think we would have had the in-depth knowledge we gained without the expertise of the staff at Atlantis Tours. They took good care of us despite the large size of the group, which was quite the challenge. Thank you for making it memorable.

GBThe experience was a once in lifetime… The experience was a once in lifetime type of experience. From the start to end it was both fun and educational. From the food to the site’s we encountered. It was great, even left myself speechless in certain places we visited.

GBAtlantis tour is the definition of… Atlantis tour is the definition of excellence in tourism, hospitality, and courtesy. Over 10 exceptional days between Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan, we have been pampered on a daily basis by the great Maher Abdel Wahab and his amazing crew. Maher and his team, especially our extraordinary guide, professor Ahmad Mohammad Abo el Magd, presented to our Pepperdine University group the beauty of Egypt through a thoughtful, comprehensive, and detailed program. Professor Ahmad’s passion & knowledge about the mystery and the history of Egypt is fascinating. Maher’s personal care towards each one of our group while accommodating everyone’s needs on a daily basis left us already with nostalgia for Egypt and it’s good people. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy the view of the Nile from Al Jazeera hotel and it’s beautiful terrace. Atlantis Tours lead by Dr. Maher Abdel Wahab genuinely deserves a trophy 🏆

GBGroup tour of Egypt with ~70 people… Group tour of Egypt with ~70 people from a well-known U.S. university. Two full tour buses. We definitely felt safe, with one or two security folks on each bus at all times and a police escort following us everywhere. Got the feeling that, contrary to the trip literature and State Dept website advisories, there was a threat around every corner. There was so much concern, in fact, that we were never allowed time to walk about freely and explore. This dynamic may have been largely due to the anxious and controlling school administration, which was always worried about some squeaky wheel suing them later. On the flip side, some of the organized events were incredible, and that was all due to careful planning on the part of Atlantis. The balloon ride was particularly spectacular. Just the logistics of getting 70 people into and out of airports, museums, food venues, and camel rides (just to name a few) required Herculean effort. Maher, the trip leader from Atlantis, was always very caring and kind and attending to every detail of everyone’s needs. They also had very informative and knowledgeable Egyptologists that truly gave us an education in everything from history to culture to hieroglyphics. If you are considering a trip to Egypt, you would do well to choose Atlantis, but insist that the group be no larger than 20 people, and don’t go with an institution that is more concerned with liability than experience.
