Misr Travel 5 Stars

Misr Travel really ensured that my birthday trip in Egypt was top tier I felt safe the entire time someone was always available for me to communicate with them if I had any questions or concerns it was definitely first class treatment Everyone was friendly courteous respectful and willing to go above and beyond to ensure that I felt accommodated at all times I will certainly only be booking with them when I plan to travel again

Educational and efficient tour

We enjoyed a fully packed day of touring around Cairo and Giza with Hussein from MISR Despite a huge and crammed itinerary our guide was able to break up the trip as needed so that we were never tired or hungry It was amazing to have the tour go at our pace and needs and all of our questions answered Everything was also timed so that we avoided crowds and were able to take great photos We felt safe and taken care of from the moment of pick up at our hotel to drop off Highly recommended

The Greatest Egyptian Adventure Possible

We booked our trip with MISR Travel for March of this year even though COVID-19 was starting to take hold in various countries We had been booked since 2019 so we decided to go regardless as it was still early in the pandemic We were greeted in Cairo by Mr Mohammed Ismal upon arrival and felt a warm connection and that he really wanted us to have an amazing trip We experienced the worst storm in Egypt in many years while we were in Cairo causing extreme flooding so our tour of the Pyramids of Giza the next day had to be rescheduled for later in the trip That was fine because our hotel was so beautiful Marriott Mena House that we had a great time watching the lightning strike over the pyramids to deafening thunder that night while having mezze in the restaurant of the hotel A once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget We enjoyed the amenities of the hotel and made the most of it It gave us time to recover from the long flight The rest of the trip was a whirlwind Egyptair cancelled flights because of the storm but did not mark them as cancelled on the board just as delayed and we were stuck in the airport for 7 hours We actually witnessed a fistfight between one of the station agents and a bus driver No one would give us answers Still we were lucky others had been waiting over 36 hours to get on a plane out of Cairo When we got to Aswan our guide was there waiting Mr Mohammed our tour manager was in contact with us the entire time to see that we got there safely We took a tour of the dam after our grueling trip a gorgeous visit to the Philae Temple complex then boarded our cruise on the MS Farah The ship was empty but for us and two other couples but we loved having the ship practically to ourselves Again another unique experience due to the lack of tourism during the pandemic We felt like billionaires Even with so few passengers the crew was very attentive and the service and cleanliness impeccable The food served was of the best quality and delicious It s a lovely ship We found out mid-cruise that Jordan would be closing its border to Egypt so we d no longer be able to continue on to Jordan as planned MISR Travel gave us an immediate refund for that leg of the journey with no issue We then planned to finish our Egyptian trip and then head to Turkey after that since we would have to fly through there to go home Again Mr Mohammed did his very best to help us change our plans and accommodate us in any way possible with our itinerary changes After a series of amazing tours in Luxor and an unforgettable balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings we continued on The archaeological sites were never crowded No queues to enter the tombs no crowds at the Egyptian Museum nor to see the Sphinx I m not sure that can ever be repeated When we returned to Cairo and checked into the Semiramis Intercontinental after a very long day of sightseeing we didn t look our best We were dusty sweaty had barely slept and the young hotel clerk was very condescending to us I was not impressed with him nor the hotel but we were so tired we just retreated to our rooms We had no sooner showered and were ready to seek out a meal when we got word from a friend that Turkey would be closing its border to Egypt at 8 am Our flight was scheduled to depart at 9 am so we immediately contacted Mr Mohammed He came after midnight with a driver and whisked us off to the airport even though the streets were flooded from the rains Once there he went above and beyond to be sure we got on the very next flight to Istanbul before the cut-off time so that we would be able to get out of Egypt and get home Everyone was trying to get out This is where having such a well-respected agency like MISR travel proves its worth Mr Mohammed is a fixer He managed to find solutions for the very challenging situations we put him through and only someone with those kinds of contacts could have pulled off what he did We will remember him for the rest of our lives I have never experienced such a level of customer service and caring attention from a travel agency He even waited until he saw us pass through the gates to finally board a plane The hospitality of the Egyptian people came across in more ways than I can even describe What could have been a nightmare situation was averted by the quick actions of MISR Travel who showed time and time again that they care For this reason we absolutely plan to return to Egypt to explore it further but to also reschedule and finish the rest of the itinerary to Jordan with MISR Travel I could not fathom considering anyone else Thank you for bestowing such kindness upon us Shukran I will say that Egyptair has the worst customer service of any airline including United This is not the fault of MISR Travel in any way but I would prefer to never fly with them again

We loved Egypt

It was the trip of a life time for us and Misrtravel made it possible for us to have great memories of a lifetime They were very professional Courteous punctual pleasant and most if all very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Egypt and all its mystery within the the Pyraments and the pharaohs For someone like me and my wife from the Dominican Republic Misrtravel made us feel like we were one them Our tour guide Mr Sayed Salama is the best of the best He was instrumental in making our trip to the land of the Pharaoh s one that we will never forget and cherish the the rest of our lives So Misrtravel has to be your choice for all your travel needs to Egypt We wish there all the best now and always

Leave your worries at home Best experience ever

In 10 19 my husband and 2 friends spent 2 weeks in Egypt with Misr Travel as our tour guide company They were always where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be Every time Even with a 2 hour delay departing out arrival airport What was especially great was that we had the same guide every day no matter where we were going in the country Our guide Sayed Salama was exceptional Not only was his knowledge priceless his willingness to get us whatever we wanted when we needed it be it ATM soda snacks etc He was always willing to accommodate our every need Can t wait to return to Egypt and will definitely use MISR TRAVEL again and will insist on Mr Salama be our guide I do not call him my guide anymore I now call him friend

Fantastic customer service provides for a wonderful Egyptain holiday

We began to plan our 2020 holiday to Egypt in late February 2019 with flights and hotels booked It was in March 2019 that I started to look for an Egyptian travel agency that would be able to book a Nile River cruise full day excursions and provide assistance if required My wife and I looked and she found Misr Travel We had been to Egypt in 2010 and the agency that we were given through our package deal were okay but had lacked a lot of customer service I emailed Misr travel and had Mohamed Hasballah return my email and therein began a long association with Mohamed and Misr Travel I had emailed other agencies and had not heard back from them Mohamed Hasballah provided me with options regarding full day excursions around Cairo and a number of choices of Nile Cruises Mohamed and I began to email each other frequently which gave me peace of mind and this helped to develop trust with Misr Travel I picked a Nile cruise Radamis II cruise from Luxor and two day excursions in Cairo 1 Dahshur Sakkara Memphis and Giza Pyramids 2 Museum Citadel Old Cairo Bazaar both excursions included lunch Additionally I decided on a half day excursion in Luxor as well Mohamed asked me if I required any assistance with hotels or transfers As I had already booked hotels I did take the option of a transfer from our Giza hotel Great Pyramid Inn to Cairo Airport This transfer gave us the opportunity to finally meet Mohamed and thank him in person for all his help On our second day in Cairo we did our first excursion and we met our driver Mohamed and our guide Mahmoud These two gentleman were fantastic friendly and courteous We enjoyed our time with them we felt safe with Mohamed s driving and his friendliness and enjoyed Mahmoud s passion for Egypt s history Mahmoud tailored the information so as not to overload us with information On our arrival in Luxor we were met by Mahmoud and our driver and driven to our hotel I arranged for a private half day excursion the next day Medinat Habu and Ramesseum It was on the next day that I met our private guide for the next four days on the cruise Mohamed Sardoon He took me on the private tour and we hit it off straight away I enjoyed the tour and the information that he provided Throughout the Nile Cruise on the Radamis II Mohamed Sardoon was always there for us and made our excursions joyful with local knowledge Overall our experiences with Misr Travel were better than we ever could have thought The customer service was far better than the service we received when we visited Egypt in 2010 We had a great time and have many great memories We would like to thank Misr Travel for the wonderful holiday and to all the people who made our holiday experience great Special thanks to Mohamed Hasballah for all his valuable help
