We will be there in a weeks time so we have been binge watching Egypt vlogs ever since we booked our trip.Yours is genuinely one of our favourites.Thank you .
Thank you for watching! Heads up ... Most places won't take Egyptian currency. Everywhere, and everyone wanted American currency. I highly recommend bringing a lot of $1/$5.
This is truly fabulous Trish. You've packed so many wonderful images and sequences into your video, with really detailed information to guide people about what you experienced. This would serve well as an excellent travel guide, as well as being a very watchable and entertaining video.
Great question. We have phone service through Google. Google Fi has coverage in Egypt so we were well connected our entire trip. If your phone carrier does not have coverage there were stations at the airport to purchase tech to keep you connected.
Love the video , very informative. May I ask what month was this trip. I’m planning one for next year but I’m trying to avoid the rain and heat there. Thank you in advance.
We went the first week of February. We avoided all of the heat, it was wonderful. Memphis tours allowed us to completely customize our package. While we were on the cruise all 3 meals were included. On the other days breakfast at the hotel was included and lunch at a local restaurant was included but we had freedom to pick dinner. Each evening before the Memphis rep would leave us they would ask if we wanted to stop anywhere or if we needed anything. Most nights we were so exhausted we just ended up grabbing dinner at the hotel.
@@lltdesilva9427 they did give us bottled water throughout the day. I packed granola bars for snacking and they proved to be a great choice! We did a lot of walking and worked up an appetite!
Yes we had a personal guide. We had one in Cairo, a different one in Aswan, and a third for the cruise/Luxor. The tips varied based on how long we had them. I was told an average tip was about $20 per person for each day. We also tipped our drivers if they were with us all day. Our Cairo tour guide was good. But the others were excellent so we tipped a bit more.
We didn't spend as much time as I would have liked at VOTK. Out cruise ship came in late so we had to cram all of east and west Luxor into one morning instead of 2 days. We went to Valley of the Kings first thing right when it opened. There were no lines, no waiting and no crowds. We spent a total of about 90 minutes there. Queen Hatshepsut was next. That too had no crowds yet as it was still early and that took about an hour. Karnak by far took the most time and needed the most time. It is a very large area to explore and it is crowded so it was harder to move around.
We paid $1599 per person to Memphis tours. We spent another $75 on food and drink each person. Tips totaled per person about $100. Plus all the souvenirs we all got.
You really should have gone to Seti the 1st and Ramses V & VI, not to mention Nefertiti. Those tombs are the BEST. I will be there shortly and friend just got back. He raved about the tombs I just named.
We would have loved to see all of them! Which tombs are open rotate and Seti I was a substantial upcharge. The ultimate deciding factor was time. Our cruise ship arrived very late and we had to cram all of East and West Luxor into one morning. Next time we will be sure to hit all of those and do Valley of the Queens :)
Is Cairo safety for Asian woman ? My friend tell me that she has scame there, Self travelers . And many terrible story that she lost a lot of money. Like hypnotized , Maybe 😮
I think when you travel anywhere you need to take precautions to be safe. I can tell you there were several people there from Asia when we were there and we all had a great time. I had concerns about safety before I went, and I am glad I overcame that fear, because it was the best trip of my life.
What a great and informative video! No crazy distracting music. No crazy antics. Just a clear calm voice explaining everything so well. Thanks!
Thank you for watching ❤️

Egypt is anti tourist country,amount of scammers is unreal.
This is truly fabulous Trish.

Thank you. That was a very well made holiday video. You've given me a real sense of being there. Thank you very much.
That's very kind. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching ❤️
Definitely buy the extra tickets for the other tombs. Seti I tomb was incredible. Theres a reason it's got the highest ticket price!
Next time I go I absolutely will. We were so tight on time it wasn't an option. But that's good to hear! Thank you for watching!
We were there October 2023…King Tut was my favorite…I think it was because his mummy was there:)
Really enjoyed your video, it gave good information and well filmed. Your voice over was also very good, nice easy voice to listen to, thank you.
Thank you for watching.
Nice video. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for watching 😊
Thanks for sharing I’m going and using the Memphis tour.
I heard you can't have a sim card in Egypt. How did you use your phone and maps for Internet throughout the travel

Very informative blog. New subscriber here! 😊❤
Thank you!
Did you got your personal guide while in Egypt? How much tip per day?
Yes we had a personal guide. We had one in Cairo, a different one in Aswan, and a third for the cruise/Luxor. The tips varied based on how long we had them. I was told an average tip was about $20 per person for each day. We also tipped our drivers if they were with us all day. Our Cairo tour guide was good.

You should have visit Sinai or red sea
Definitely on my list! I would love to visit there!
Nice vlog😮😊❤

Very good video. Do you recall how long it took you to tour Valley of the Kings?
We didn't spend as much time as I would have liked at VOTK. Out cruise ship came in late so we had to cram all of east and west Luxor into one morning instead of 2 days. We went to Valley of the Kings first thing right when it opened. There were no lines, no waiting and no crowds. We spent a total of about 90 minutes there. Queen Hatshepsut was next.

It is a very large area to explore and it is crowded so it was harder to move around.
Was your trip and activities fully catered by Memphis tours?
Not all meals, but most meals. If at any time we wanted them to stop or needed recommendations they were happy to arrange that for us.
how much was the whole trip?
We paid $1599 per person to Memphis tours. We spent another $75 on food and drink each person. Tips totaled per person about $100. Plus all the souvenirs we all got.
You really should have gone to Seti the 1st and Ramses V & VI, not to mention Nefertiti. Those tombs are the BEST. I will be there shortly and friend just got back. He raved about the tombs I just named.

I used @memphistours they did a great job and kept me safe and entertained
