Su amabilidad, respeto y su español tan perfecto nos hicieron un día increíble. Es un amor de persona sin duda la recomendaría una y mil veces más. Aparte tiene un conocimiento y amor por su cultura que nos traslado a viejos tiempos. Por favor si vienen solicitela a ella, a parte nos tomo las mejores fotos y nos guió con la mejor comida.

All tours I have booked with Misk have had fantastic tour guides - expert Egyptologist who speak very good English. When I come back to Egypt, I will book tours with them 100%. A good tour guide can make or break your experience at the locations you want to learn about. !! Michael and Manal are fantastic !! A bonus was also no hidden shopping stops (which some tour companies include in their tours)Posted on Google Brandon LoveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This tour was the highlight of our trip so far. Habeba was an excellent tour guide she knew her stuff and was super cool feel like our new friend out here. She showed us around the pyramids in detail amd gave enough time for us to enjoy each excursion and went above and beyond to be sure we got the best taste of Egypt and answered all my questions and had a great since of humor and relatable. She made sure we were taken care of. Each of the excursion host were hospitable especially Ahmed during ATV riding I made a mistake and he made sure I was okay the est of the time. Mustafa was great too even with the language barrier he made sure our needs were met on the Nile river boat ride and was very cool I could tell he enjoyed his time with us as well. The Nile boat exceeded my expectations for sure Thank you all for making this time the best for me and my friends when I come back I’ll be asking for you again.Posted on Google Angelo ManningTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Habeba was great. She was very knowledgeable on the pyramids and was so fun to be around. We did the great pyramid and sphinx and camel ride. Then went to shops and did ATV where Ahmed made sure we stayed safe and took cool pics. At the end Mustafa was so cool he made sure we had a great time on the tour. We danced and ate and had a lot of fun. I’d recommend anyone to go on this excursion, all the people are genuine and know to to be hospitable. 10 out of 10 experience
First time in Egypt? Here's what Misk Tours recommends to every traveler before they arrive.
Lightweight, breathable fabrics. Shoulders and knees covered at religious sites. A light scarf is versatile. Comfortable walking shoes are essential — you'll cover a lot of ground at the Pyramids and Karnak.
Egyptian Pound (EGP) is the local currency. USD is widely accepted at tourist sites. ATMs are available in all major cities. Keep small change for tips and local purchases. Inform your bank before travelling.
Buy a local SIM card (Vodafone or Orange) at Cairo Airport for fast 4G data from ~$5. Wi-Fi is available in all hotels. Misk Tours' WhatsApp is available 24/7 for in-trip assistance
Most nationalities can apply for an Egyptian e-Visa online at visa2egypt.gov.eg for $25. Processing takes 3–7 business days. Misk Tours provides detailed visa guidance for all travelers after booking.
Drink bottled water. Use sunscreen (SPF 50+) and stay hydrated, especially in summer. Travel insurance with medical coverage is strongly recommended. No specific vaccinations are mandatory for Egypt.
The best light for the Pyramids is early morning. A photography permit is required inside some tombs (Valley of the Kings) — your guide will advise. Always ask before photographing locals.
Egypt's climate varies significantly by season. Here's when to go based on your priorities.
Ideal conditions for sightseeing. Comfortable temperatures, smaller crowds than winter, and golden light for photography.
The busiest season for good reason — mild, perfect for outdoor sites. Book well in advance for peak dates (Christmas, New Year).
Warming up but still very manageable. Watch for the khamsin (sandstorm) season in March–April. Fewer crowds and good hotel rates.
Very hot in Upper Egypt. Best visited with early-morning starts. Significantly fewer tourists and lowest prices of the year — great for budget travelers.
Get inspired with travel guides, tips, and real stories from Egypt.

Yes, Egypt is safe for tourists. Millions of travelers visit each year without incident. Major tourist areas — Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea resorts — are well-patrolled and welcoming. Misk Tours provides 24/7 in-trip support and only uses vetted, insured transportation. We recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance before departure.
October to April is the ideal window. Winter (December–February) offers the most comfortable temperatures for outdoor sightseeing (15–22°C). Autumn (October–November) is also excellent — slightly warmer with fewer crowds. Summer (June–August) is very hot in Upper Egypt but offers significant savings and empty sites.
For a complete classic experience — Cairo, Nile Cruise, Luxor, Aswan — we recommend at least 8 days. A 7-day tour is manageable if you skip Abu Simbel. If you want to add Alexandria, the Red Sea, or Abu Simbel, plan for 9–12 days. Our travel experts can help you choose based on your available time.
All packages include: private airport transfers, 4–5 star hotel accommodation, Nile Cruise cabin with meals on board, domestic flights (where applicable), a private licensed Egyptologist guide, all listed entrance fees, daily breakfast, and 24/7 in-trip support. International flights and travel insurance are not included.
Most nationalities can obtain an Egyptian e-Visa online at visa2egypt.gov.eg for $25 USD. The process takes 3–7 business days. Citizens of select countries (Jordan, UAE, many others) can obtain a visa on arrival. After booking, Misk Tours sends full visa guidance tailored to your passport.
Absolutely. Every Misk Tours package is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. You can add or remove destinations, adjust pacing, choose your hotel category, extend the Nile Cruise, or add a Red Sea beach stop. Contact our team and we'll build your perfect custom Egypt itinerary — at no extra planning fee.
