Egypt Travel Guide

Zicasso’s travel specialist did an amazing job working with us to put together an outstanding agenda and making all the arrangements on her end. The team delivered an absolutely outstanding experience in Egypt! Having one Egyptologist for the entire time was extremely helpful, and he was outstanding, making our time in Egypt extremely memorable.

Superb. Each Zicasso point person was efficient, knowledgeable, and gracious.

I was very impressed by Zicasso’s tour operator and enjoyed my trip immensely. Yes, there were a few hiccups initially that were resolved before I left for Egypt. I even spoke with the travel specialist on Zoom face-to-face before I left for my trip and my concerns were all clarified.

From the time I landed in Cairo and was met at the airport by the representative from the tour operator to when I left, things ran smoothly.

The ground teams in the different areas were very efficient. The accommodations were first class. The tours that were planned and the Egyptologists that accompanied me on these tours were very knowledgeable and went beyond what was expected or required of them. The local tours met my expectations.

The transportation provided was also first class.

They did provide exceptional service overall.

We are a group of nine college friends in our mid-70s who had an absolutely wonderful trip of a lifetime to Egypt and Jordan, planned by Zicasso’s travel specialist. Every facet was competently covered: Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, a five-day dahabiya cruise down the Nile, Luxor, and onto Petra in Jordan.

Our experience with Zicasso’s travel company was fantastic. When I started planning our trip, Zicasso’s travel specialist was very helpful in giving me ideas on putting together an itinerary to cover the historic sites of Egypt, as well as Petra in Jordan. He sent a detailed proposal with hotels, inter-country flights, tours, and optional activities. He made himself available to answer any questions via WhatsApp during the planning process.

When we arrived at and departed from various airports (Amman, Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Hurghada), we were met by company representatives to ensure everything went smoothly. We were also given WhatsApp contacts for the operations team while in-country in case we had any questions.

Our three guides in Jordan, on our Nile River cruise from Aswan to Luxor, and in Cairo were all excellent. They were very knowledgeable and made our trip logistically stress free. All of our drivers got us where we needed to be on time. All of the hotels, as well as our Nile River cruise, were excellent.

Everyone at the travel company really wanted to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and all our needs were taken care of. We decided to do a hot-air balloon ride in Luxor last minute and switch from a horse-drawn carriage to a boat ride, and they made it happen. Our two-week trip was relaxing, enjoyable, and stress free.

Where do I start? Working with Zicasso’s travel agent was the best experience we’ve had traveling. From our first contact, working through an itinerary that worked for us, he made it easy. And once in Egypt, our greeters, drivers, and guides were absolutely the best.
