  We, group of 3 girls, used Marsa Alam for a two week trip through Egypt. Wael was amazing in helping us plan the perfect trip. Very responsive and accommodating. First part of the trip we stayed at the new Hyatt and had Lazam as our egyptologist/guide. We felt very safe with him touring us around. Lazam was super humble and knowledgeable. Asked us what we wanted to do and always had our best interest in mind. Second leg of the trip we had Aswany as our Egyptologist/guide. He has amazing background and knew the best way to get us great experiences. Never made us stand out in the blistering sun like other tours we saw. We very much appreciate getting the background given to us in the car to the site so we could bypass most tours and have the grounds less crowded. We never felt like we were just being shuttled from one site to another. Most of the time we felt like we had sites to ourselves with how our guides navigates us. We felt very safe with Lazam and Aswany guiding us through all the site We added the white desert overnight tour which was an incredible experience. (intimidating if you are alone bc it is just you and you guide. Not a large camp situation) Ahmed and his brother showed us the best sites and made our experience feel unique. The River Nile cruise was stationary at a port most of the time but we understand the benefit of it while trying to see the most sites. We did the hot air balloon excursion which we recommend! It was amazing to see the organization that goes into it. We booked the Neubian village excursion-not sure if it’s cause we got there later in the day but we expected to walk around and see more. Not sure I would recommend this one based off the price. We booked a trip to Hurghada with Marsa Alam too. The resort they placed us was gorgeous. Different than what an American would be used to at an all inclusive but they still had plenty of activities. The buffet food was catered towards Europeans, not really local food. Wael also took care of getting us on a snorkel and scuba tour last minute which were amazing to see the sea. All the leaders on the boats were professional and good time. We felt we always had constant communication. If any questions came up Wael explained everything and made sure we were ok. We had last minute changes and Wael always handled us with grace. Egypt was a trip of a life time and we owe that to Marsa Alam! Highly recommend Marsa Alam for your travels! Shukran to the whole team!

  Marsa Alam was very responsive and accommodating during our planning phase of the trip and that is why we initially chose them for our 2 week trip to Egypt . We were able to easily communicate with them through WhatsApp- Wael was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions. We were a group of 3 and had a private tour throughout the duration of our trip. The egyptologists were amazing and EXTREMELY knowledgeable (shout out to Aswany and Lazam!) Our guides and drivers made us feel comfortable at all times and always looked out for our best interest. I highly recommend Marsa Alam. They worked with us to make sure our trip included everything we wanted.

  On a passé 10 jours superbes et très bien organisés entre les chauffeurs et les guides. À chaque excursion, des temps de pause étaient organisés surtout pour les longs trajets en voitures. Que des personnes agréables lors de notre séjour. Si on souhaitait visiter un autre endroit, on a toujours pu s'arranger. Les logements ont tous été propres et confortables de l'hôtel vue sur le Nil à luxor au bivouac dans le désert et la felouque sur le Nil (où la salle de bain nous a quand même manqué... nous avions juste accès à des toilettes assez spartiates). Que des expériences enrichissantes avec des personnes ravies de partager leur quotidien et leur culture. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié de rencontrer Mustafa au Caire qui a été très attentif et très sympathique.

  We were very happy with the tour. Everything went well and smooth without any problems. The best thing was the comunication we had with the agency (Ahmed was very helpful and assisted us during the whole trip through the phone).
