– Photography is generally not prohibited. Still, most historic squares and museums charge a
fee for taking photos, but this doesn’t usually apply to your camera phone. Except in the Egyptian Museum and in the Valley of the Kings where photography is absolutely prohibited. With Egypt tours you make unforgettable memories and take lots of photos. Our guides in Cairo, on the Nile cruises or on Lake Nasser cruises will help you further.
– Egyptians are known for tolerance and hospitality. Basically, most Egyptians are inclined to take photos. Nevertheless, you should ask for consent beforehand, especially if you want to photograph women or private things. There is an absolute ban on photography at army facilities, airports, bridges, the metro and the dam.
– Be careful about photographing any area with trash, as Egyptian authorities are serious about preventing Egypt from being seen in a bad light
– The short answer is no, and don’t bring any pieces of your drone either. You will not get
through customs without losing your equipment. Flying drones is not allowed anywhere in
the country of Egypt. According to the Egyptian Aviation Act under Article 46, sentence 8:
“No unmanned aircraft is allowed to fly or to work in the territory of the State unless by
permission of the Civil Aviation Authority.
– In all cases, using unmanned aircrafts is prohibited as per the rules of the Air and Air Traffic
outlined in this respect
– Many women travel alone and have found that they have been safe. The police, tourist police,
and army are always close by, and the Egyptians themselves are generally safe and will try to
protect solo travelers.
– Although the chances of being confronted are almost negligible, please ensure that you take
the same precautions that you would anywhere else and do not be tempted to walk in
deserted areas alone
– Foreign unmarried couples can stay together in Egypt. Egyptian or Arabian unmarried
couples are not allowed to stay together, as it is illegal. The same goes for an Egyptian
man/foreign woman or Egyptian woman/foreign man, as it is illegal for them to stay in a
hotel together.
– When you search the internet for reservations and transfers or hotels directly, without the
help of agencies, you may have several surprises. Some of them can turn into
disappointments. So having someone accredited by your side, who can protect you from
these situations, is really necessary for your tranquility and security
– Travel agents now differentiate themselves by offering a curated, hands-on, and personalized
service.
A good travel agent can:
Connect you with trusted tour operators they’ve worked with before
Find the perfect airfares, rental cars, and cruise ships/cruise lines to fit your itinerary

the general public Offer personalized service and peace of mind

EXCELLENT Based on 8 reviews Posted on Fernanda da Silva Tatley2025-10-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mohamed Arafa and his team are amazing, but I would like to specifically focus on Arafa, who has a Master of Egyptology, the value of which is apparent within a few minutes of knowing him, as his breadth of knowledge just pours out of him. His passion for the history and culture of Egypt are electrifyingly tangible and with you realizing you have learned sooo much in an effortless way and with a lot of fun. He provides you with clear, in depth and unbiased information to enable anyone to quickly grasp the context behind historical events over more than 5,000 years, in such a mesmerizing way that you are glue to his words. This incredible ability and the fact that he has a very special heart and soul, and a terrific sense of humour make him an outstanding guide. When it comes to Anubis weighing his heart, it will be off the scale on the good side. We spent 2 days with Arafa. The first in Saqqarah, Memphis and Giza, with an extremely and plentiful lunch thrown in. Besides you get cold water and the car is extremely comfortable. This was a luxury ride. On the second day we started at the Citadel, moved to the National Museum of Egyptian Culture and finished at the Khan El Khalili market. We had a traditional Egyptian dish for lunch, which was outstanding. Both days were an incredible experience! Not five stars, rather 7 stars. 😉 These sites were picked given our time constraints, and of course given more time we would see more, so feel free to discuss your goals and I have no doubt that you get to a great list of options that best represent ancient Egypt. We have one more tour - a trip to Luxor, Karnak, The Valley of the Kings with his Luxor based team, and I’m so excited to be privileged to be able to visit these. What else can I say? The whole package with Arafa is worth its weight in gold and I can’t wait to come to Cairo and get to see all the other myriad of sites which we could not fit this time round. Five stars to Arafa and his team! 😉Posted on Pan Carin2025-10-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing experience with Mr.Arafa during my visit to the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Not only was he incredibly professional and friendly, but he is also an archaeologist, which made the entire tour even more fascinating. He didn’t just explain historical facts ,he taught us how to think like an archaeologist. He shared incredible insights about ancient construction methods, symbolism, and daily life in ancient Egypt, all in a very engaging and easy tounderstand way. His passion for history truly brought the sites to life. I walked away with a much deeper appreciation for Egyptian civilization. If you’re looking for more than just a quick tour — if you want an educational and unforgettable journey through history . . I highly recommend booking with him! He also gave a lot of local recommendations of what kind of souvenirs is worth to buy, how to avoid tourist trap etc. thank you Mr. ArafaPosted on Jun H2025-10-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing tour at Giza and Grand Egyptian Museum with Mr. Mohamed Arafa. He is a highly knowledgeable guide in the history of the sites and artificats we seen and visited, drawing a lot from his archaeological experience. The entire programme was very well arranged, from pickup to all the site visits. With him, we felt taken care of and got a comprehensive walkthrough of everything. Highly recommended for all your tour needs!Posted on Asneth Chebet2025-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Arafa Made My First Trip to Egypt Unforgettable. I had never been to Egypt before and honestly didn’t know what to expect , but thanks to Arafa, it turned out to be one of the most amazing trips I’ve ever had. From the start, Arafa took full responsibility for planning our itinerary. He made everything so easy and stress-free. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does . He is super knowledgeable about Egypt’s history (he’s even worked at the pyramids!), and he explained everything in a way that was interesting and easy to follow. Also, for my fellow Instagram girls 😀, he knows all the best photo spots! I came back with so many beautiful pictures and even better memories. What really stood out to me, though, was how he treated us. He welcomed us like family, not just tourists. He gave us great advice when we were shopping, always had our best interest at heart, and even gave us a gift of his favorite dates (which were honestly delicious!). It’s little things like that that made the trip feel so personal and special. His driver was friendly, safe, and professional. And the team he works with in Luxor was just as great. We always felt safe, cared for, and completely relaxed during the whole trip, which says a lot when you’re far from home. Once you meet Arafa, every other guide just doesn’t compare. He truly elevated our entire experience, and I can honestly say that Egypt wouldn’t have been the same without him. If you’re thinking of visiting Egypt, I 100% recommend booking with him. He made our experience unforgettable.Posted on Ian L2025-10-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went on a 6 day tour with Mohamed to Cairo, Giza and Alexandria. Mohamed was extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. In addition he was a very funny guide and I had an unforgettable experience in Egypt thanks to him. I would highly recommend Mohamed as a guide to Egypt for a hassle free and enjoyable trip.Posted on Anine Geyer2025-10-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an unforgettable experience in Egypt thanks to Mohammed. He is the most knowledgeable Egyptologist that you can have to show you around, and also such a kind and genuine person. I would not recommend any other tour than Off to Egypt with Mohammed.Posted on So. K2025-10-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10/10 The best tour experience I’ve had hands down! Mo is genuinely the kindest and most knowledgeable and engaging tour guide I’ve had in all my travels. If you’re going to Egypt I would definitely recommend working with this company - you won’t be disappointed!Posted on Beaute Rania2025-10-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked my trip through Off to Egypt and it was honestly one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. Our tour guide, Mohamed Arafa, was amazing very knowledgeable, friendly, and made everything so easy and enjoyable. The trip was perfectly organized, from the transportation to the food, and every detail was taken care of. We got to see Egypt in such a beautiful and authentic way, with great explanations that brought the history and culture to life. Everything was beyond my expectations, and I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Egypt.
