Prices & Departure Dates
Prices shown are per person travelling. 'Twin/Double' prices per person apply when there are 2 people travelling, sharing a room. The 'Single supplement' applies for single travellers who require their own room and needs to be added to the 'Twin/Double' price. If you are happy to be paired up with another single traveller of the same sex on your tour, this can be arranged, thus avoiding the single person supplement.
All our scheduled tour departures are guaranteed subject to a minimum of 2 travellers. To date we have not cancelled a single trip!

Postcards
Here's what some of our past travellers have written in to us and said about their experiences on this trip.
Hi Mark
James and I returned home on Sunday from our trip to Egypt.
Although I have been to Cairo and the Mena House 3 times before, I was still fairly nervous about taking my 7 year old son there on my own.
I needn't have worried. Big Mina met us at the airport, and took us to the hotel - he even checked us in.
Our guide, Ahmed, was fantastic. He managed to pitch the tour at James level perfectly.
For 1.5 days James was enthralled. So much so, at some point on the holiday I promised him we would go to the Valley of the Kings. He has not let me forget that!
I didn't get a chance to fill in Big Minas customer satisfaction survey at the airport - so can you please pass on my thanks, and let him know the whole trip was excellent.... thank you.
If you could also let me know if you do a trip for 3 or 4 days in Luxor followed by 7 days in the Red Sea.
We would need a guide for the Luxor sites, it would be for 2 adults and 2 children - a 5 and an 8 year old.
Thank you again Mark, we both had a wonderful trip
