What people are saying about El-Alamein, Egypt

This was a 2-day trip. Our guide and drivers are excellent. Un-fortunately the Garden Palace has been closed for years and we were not notified beforehand. We could only take pictures outside it. And due to it was the Egyptian Christmas on Jan 08, the Library was closed and again we could only take pics outside of it. We ended up finished early in the hotel around 2pm on the first day of our trip. We was then left in the hotel. However, the quality of the hotel is just so and so and there's nothing to do around the neighborhood (a quite dated anddirty area). However, the Citadel (castle) was good to visit and the experience on the 2nd day where we visited the War Museum in El Alamein was good. The 2 lunches incl. are of good quality. Overall, we did enjoy our trip.

We were picked up right on time and had a very comfortable drive from Cairo to Alexandria to meet our guide Karim. Karim was fun, entertaining, full of interesting information. He made our two days interesting and lively. The trip was exactly as described and we enjoyed it very much.

Guide and Driver were great and accommodating towards our 2 and 4 year old.
