What people are saying about Hurghada

Overall rating

4.4 / 5

based on 27,631 reviews

The experience was great! Even at the first I was scared because of the armed people at the entry. Be prepared to see armed groups of men at the entrance. What i did not like was the fact that the bedouin village they make us buy some creams at 5 usd, and they said that the price was in order to help locals, but is pretty much evident that the village is built there for tourists. Also DO NOT BUY anything from the stores there. They will ask you 15 times more than the real price. The sellers there are thieves.

Hurghada: 3-Hour Desert Safari Quad Bike and Camel Ride Reviewed by Paula, 1/13/2021

Klare Empfehlung. Es war zwar wirklich ein langer Tag, aber wir konnten gut im Mini Van schlafen und somit die Zeit in Kairo wirklich genießen. Aufgrund der Epidemielage waren wir fast allein an den Pyramiden! Die Fahrer waren sehr verantwortungsbewusst und der Guide Ahmed einfach toll und sehr mitreißend. Das Mittagessen war sehr basic, aber völlig ausreichend. Wir haben zusätzlich noch eine Bootsfahrt auf dem Nil gemacht (ca. 5 EUR pP extra). Wir waren von 2 Uhr nachts bis 21 Uhr abends unterwegs.

Good drivers, the guide was also very open and provided useful information. The mini bus is in a very good condition and was very clean. Even the capacity for was about 15, we were only 6 tourists. Booked the trip one day before. Communication with the travel agent was as well very good. The total value of the additional entries was 580 egipt pounds(Karnak, Valley of the kings and hatshepsut). Is better to have local money and not usd or eur, as they adjust the rate in their favor.

The tour was great and interesting. Our guide was Tarek and he showed us the most interesting places in Hurghada. Tarek was really great guide, funny, friendly and professional.
