MAKE TRAVEL MATTER®
- Cairo: Be mesmerised by the intricate art of Egyptian carpet weaving as you meet the skilled artisans of a local weaving school. This ancient and traditional Egyptian craft is one of the oldest in the country, and only few schools have been safeguarding the traditional weaving methods on wooden looms, using silk and cotton, and natural dyes. More than carpets, they come to life as unique works of art. Your visit directly supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11: Resilient Cities and Communities.

An amazing experience all around! Everything was first class. Trafalgar handled everything. From the travel in country to our trip home to tickets for the attractions. They took care of everything so that we didn't need to worry, we could just enjoy. We saw everything that you'd go to Egypt to see. It was a great mix of temples and museums and daily Egyptian life and culture.

Egypt, the must see tour with Trafalgar. Trafalgar is my favorite tour company. In 2018, I went to Spain-Portugal and again in December this year taking the tour, Wonder of Patagonia. Egypt was excellent, the old civilization, history, Nile river, Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Cairo... so many wonders. The best part was to have our guide, ********** who won the heart of everybody in the tour by his charming personality, knowledge of Egyptian history/civilization .... everything was perfect. Trafalgar tours are very well organized. Once you reach your starting airport, you are free of any hustles for the rest of the tour. We received help starting at the airport, taking to the hotels, next day starting the tour and till end of the tour which ended with the dropping at the airport. The entire tour was very exciting with comfortable site seeing, excellent food and hotel service. The ship on Nile river cruise was luxurious.

Best of Egypt Accommodation was excellent. We had an amazing tour guide who also made us think rather than just always giving us lots of information. A great trip around Egypt. In the 9 days we went almost from top to bottom and saw all the highlights.

We had a really great trip!! Osama, Assem, and all the people involved did everything possible to make our travel within Egypt unforgettable!! They provided us with the very best customer service. We highly recommend The Best of Egypt tour to all our family and friends. Osama made sure that we got the hotel room with the best view of Cairo!! We are very grateful for that since I was able to take very nice photos of that view to add to our collection of places we have visited.

Don’t miss traveling with Trafalgar! It’s very professional and accommodating. My experience with Trafalgar was and is always satisfactory over the years I dealt with them! I learned and saw so much in a relative short time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, considerate and showed personal interest in each and every one of us.
