“We had the absolute privilege of having Omar as our guide for five days from Luxor to Aswan, and without question, he was the best part of our trip. His knowledge of Egypt’s history is truly remarkable, but what makes Omar exceptional is how he shares it. He doesn’t just explain facts, he tells stories. He brings the temples, the pharaohs, and the ancient world to life in a way that makes you want to keep listening. Every site felt more meaningful because of him. Beyond his expertise, Omar is warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. From the moment we met him, he made us feel comfortable and completely at ease. He answered every question thoughtfully and never made us feel rushed. What sets him apart is how he goes above and beyond even outside of the tours themselves. While we were on our Nile River cruise, any time he saw us on the ship, he would come over to chat, check in, or ask if we needed anything. He didn’t have to do that, but he did, simply because he cares. That level of attentiveness and generosity is rare. The tour company itself was also fantastic to deal with. Everything was organized, seamless, and professional from start to finish. The transportation was spot on every single day. We never once had to worry about logistics, timing, or coordination, which made the entire experience stress free. Omar is truly one of a kind. Traveling from Luxor to Aswan is unforgettable on its own, but having him guide us made it extraordinary. We will always be grateful for the experience he gave us. If you ever have the opportunity to tour with Omar, don’t hesitate. He will make your journey unforgettable.”

“Had a great vaca thru Egypt Portal tour - accommodations at concorde el salah in Cairo and zen wellness center in Aswan and jolie ville in Luxor were all nice. Dog sniffing car at Concorde in Cairo did concern me as well as luggage check but overall it was nice. Room in Cairo and Aswan were small compared to Jolie ville. Jolie Ville was great - resort was perfect for relaxing with great Nile view especially the sunset. Nile cruise in Cairo was cheesy - not worth the time. Aswan was ok - Better to spend more time in Giza and Luxor if your time is less than a week. Special commendation to all the tour guides and drivers on the excursion - Hamdi was superb in navigating the chaos of driving thru Cairo like a champ! I would not have been able to navigate Cairo without destroying the car. The drivers in Aswan and Luxor were equally proficient and courteous. I will give extra commendation to Marian Azar in Luxor for extending herself to give us a welcoming tour and she was even kind enough to get the driver lunch as well - her thoughtfulness just really exemplified the true warmth of Egyptian hospitality. Only wish the Tipping could have been included in the trip cost - particularly for the use of public restrooms - foreigners like myself may not carry money to bathrooms as it is not customary ever to pay for restrooms in tour sites. If you have to tip- the bathroom should have sufficient tissue paper - this was an annoyance that I rectified by bringing toilet paper. Suggestion for EGYPT PORTAL - if the tour can be away from the tourist traps - that would be an uptick. I realize tourists are seen as dollar signs for the economy but it's better to show tourists the welcoming beauty of Egypt as I felt in Luxor than the tourist traps I felt in Cairo and Aswan. While the price for the Egypt trip could have been cheaper had i booked everything myself, I am grateful for the eye opening experience and know better for my next trip. Yes I do intend to return because I saw a great side to Egypt beyond the tourist traps.”
