Great experience - I had a wonderful tour organized to St. Catherine. It was efficient, well executed with a debriefing at the beginning and itinerary provided the day prior to my departure. I had an excellent driver who picked me up from my hotel and took me to my accommodation. Prior to my hike, I met an excellent local guide who was with me throughout the hike on Mount Sinai. The experience at the summit was magical. I was safely brought back to Cairo the next day. It was an amazing experience.

The most wonderful trips of our lives - We’re both in our 70s, and this was our dream trip. Travel2Egypt adjusted the pace just right. The driver helped us in and out of the car every time, and our guide, Ahmed, was attentive, always finding shaded spots to rest. It made all the difference.

Finally arrived at the place closest to God ! - We came from Taiwan, originally wanted to go to Egypt and Sinai, but at first absolutely no idea, after searching the Internet, then the first half of the trip found Travel2Egypt company, then communicated with the company via WhatsApp, asked various sizes questions, and finally discussed planning a Sinai mountain to live in Saint Catherine’s Monastery and climb the mountain to see the sunrise. Although the journey is very tired, the road is close to 450 kilometers, it takes more than 6 hours by car, plus the mountain climbing to wait for the sunrise is very consuming, but seeing the beauty and the experience gained is very worthwhile, after all, it came to two religious holy places, the closest place to God.

We were happy with Travel 2. - Our family adventure in Egypt was unforgettable. The kids loved the camel rides, and the pyramids amazed us all. The guides were wonderful with children, making history fun and accessible. We felt incredibly safe and welcomed by the Egyptian people—a perfect family getaway.

Interesting - Entering a mosque is a unique learning experience and even better if you are with a guide who explains about the place and culture. Curiosity is the watch presented by the French and that never worked because they did not send the watch machine, only the display. The citadel is nice, with a beautiful view of the city of Cairo.

A beautiful place to meet - The citadel of Saladin and the Great Alabaster Table are a beauty! It is blessed to go visit it, walk its streets and make efforts to enter the mesquita. Behind the citadel there is also a military museum and I have to say it is very safe. The bazaar is pure life!! it also feels very safe and there are things for all tastes! You eat rich there
