What travelers say about us

We have been on lots of group bus tours and they always feel super rushed, so you never get to take your time and really experience the sights. This was the exact opposite and we loved it.

I spent a wonderful day with an extremely knowledgeable and very friendly guide who toured me around Cairo. I had a long layover between flights and decided to see more of the city than my previous visit had allowed.

We choose to use Seba Tours of Cairo as we had had a very good experience with them on our last trip to Egypt. This trip we are travelling with our grandsons aged 11 and 14. We thought our previous guide would be good with our grandsons and we were correct. She has used humour and stories to ensure they get the most out of our time here. The boys really enjoy being with her and respond well to her explanations. I highly recommend this company for both adults and children.

Heather

We took our two grandsons, aged 11 and 14, for a whirlwind 3-day tour of Cairo with Seba Tours on our way to Kenya. We had a lovely time! The company took good care of us, from preparing an itinerary that was age-appropriate for our grandsons, to providing a guide who could interacted well with both us and our grandsons. Our guide and driver were professional at all times, on time, courteous, and very helpful. We felt safe and well taken care of. Bravo Seba!!

Laila and the whole company is very very kind. They accompanied us to see many places and protected us. Laila knew perfectly how , when and which places to visit to get the best experience. I would definitely recommend it and will come back!!

We were met in the morning by our tour guide. We have taken several private tours in Europe, Asia and Africa. Seba Tours was one of the best tours I've ever had. Our guide's knowledge of history, facts, interesting stories and her love of Egypt shines through. It was incredibly profesional.

Our guide was knowledgeable about Egypt’s history and culture and got amazing photos of us at the pyramids. We enjoyed every moment of it. Especially going inside the pyramids that were open for visitation. My favorite was the bent pyramid. We also got to ride the camels which is a must when in Egypt and eat some local food. Our guide was so kind, I cannot recommend enough!

Egypt Tours FAQs:

Egypt is a safe country to visit with a notable low crime rate, tourist attractions are well secured and there is no common negative attitude towards foreigners, with some sensible precautions and preparations you will feel at home and as safe as you’ll ever be.

The best time to visit Egypt is in autumn (September – November) and spring (February – April). The weather is relatively cold from December to January, except in the south, where winter is very mild. Sometimes summer should be avoided for climatic reasons. Cairo is hot and attractive in most of June through August, and most residents spend their holidays during this period, if possible. Upper Egypt and even the Red Sea coast can be uncomfortably hot during the summer.

There are a lot of things to do for a foreign traveler in Egypt. Apart from visiting and seeing ancient Egyptian temples and ancient artifacts in ancient Egypt, there is also plenty to see inside each city. In fact, every city in Egypt has its own charm of the things you see through its history, culture, activities, and people who are often different from their nature from people from other parts of Egypt. Cairo, for example, has a lot to do and see. Besides ancient Egyptian history, there is the history of the Romans, Greeks, Byzantine Empire, Islamic Empire, Ottomans and finally the modern history of Egypt.

You can buy most things in Egypt but there are some things that you should bring with you if you want, such as sunscreen, a full hat to protect your face from the sun, a lock for your luggage and any medications you take except for course banned drugs. Egyptian pharmacies are very good, but the drug may be subject to names unknown to you. A pair of comfortable walking shoes is indispensable for wandering the ancient Egyptian archaeological sites. Do not forget that the most important thing to bring with you is the camera in order to take memorable pictures. Good luck and we hope you enjoy your trip and have a great time.

Many women travel alone to Egypt and find that they are safe. The tourism and military police are always close to all tourist places, and the Egyptians themselves are generally safe and trying to protect individual travelers. On the whole, Egypt is safer for individual travelers in more places like Greece, Italy or Spain. Please make sure to take the same precautions you would take anywhere else and do not tend to walk in the deserted areas alone: take a taxi to your residence! You may receive some invitations, all of which are innocent, that doesn’t accept any of these from strangers.

Visitors to Egypt must obtain a visa from one of the Egyptian diplomatic missions or apply and pay online for one month's visa to Egypt through Egypt E-Visa Portal. A valid Passport with 6 months validity beyond your travel schedule is a must, for visitors from Australia, Canada, Croatia, European Union, Georgia, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Macedonia, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, Serbia, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States can purchase a one month visa upon arrival.
