Yes, the currency is the Egyptian Pound (LE or EGP), which in 2021 is worth 3 x less than the Brazilian Real and 15 x less than the Usdollar. All prices in LE, divided by 3 give our Brazilian price and divided by 15 give the price in Usdollar. The Arabs love to bargain and they put the price over 3 times… You have to offer them lower 4 x the price, so they go up to the real price and you accept or not.

When we arrive at the airport, we must buy the visa, for 25 us, at the bank window, after filling out a form, we receive a stamp which will be pasted on our passport. We passed through Immigration, which reviewed the passport and finally glued the stamp, signed it. We left, passed an officer who asked us about transfers, guides, hotel vouchers and then released us to leave. There is no possibility of entering this part of the airport. So we must guide our passengers well because only after leaving can we meet. Immigration asks some questions of passengers, especially unaccompanied, single travelers. They are more targeted than married or in groups. So have the vouchers, phones of our representative at hand, name of the Hotel, travel program with company letterhead, so that this process is easier. We went down a ladder, we are already in Egypt.

You take your luggage and then you go to the exit gate, where the transfer must be waiting for you. Note: 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. We know that Egyptians and Arabs are excellent traders, however, the tourist in Egypt represents a way of life for many Egyptians. They simply adopt the Tourist, which becomes theirs. So everything that the tourist wants, look, ask the price, it cannot be sold by anyone except for him who saw him for the first time ... If the tourist has a guide or agency, this approach does not happen, or, if it happens, the trader is removed so as not to disturb the tourist. So having someone accredited by your side, who can protect you from these situations, is really necessary for your tranquility and security.

We have never seen assaults, robberies, just these aggressive, insistent approaches. We advise you not to respond to vendors by asking or telling them where they are from, as this will encourage them to pursue tourists. If the tourist wants something, we ask that they pass the information on to the guides or the company representative, who will always accompany them. He will know how to negotiate and talk with the natives, knowing if the item is true or counterfeit, if the price is correct, or overestimated, if he can get a discount or not. This is one of the most delicate items. Street commerce is often confusing. Our guides and our Partner, who accompany tourists, recommend that purchases be made at Khan el Khalili or in stores where tourists can be at ease, without the insistence of traders. There are visits to stores of pure Egyptian cotton sheets, t-shirts, pashminas, shawls, table cloths, typical dresses, bath towels, among others, as well as papyrus artifacts, handicrafts, copper, silver, carpets, perfumes, essences, jewels, seeds, spices, among other items that tourists are enchanted, in complete safety.

The programs leave this information very highlighted, as we know that many have the custom of lunch instead of dinner.

We offer 3 categories of Ships: 3*, 4*, 5*. These means that some ships are for 50 person, 150 persons or 200 persons. Although the service is good, there are some comfort on the biggest ships we don`t find in the smallest. Meals are included and water, but has no drinks, this is off the price, you have to pay separated. Nile River cruises do not have big ships like sea cruises. These are smaller, two-story vessels, with comfortable apartment-type cabins for two, with ample facilities, windows overlooking the River Nile and 3 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner). There is also a lounge with typical shows, music, recreation in high season. On the last deck there is a swimming pool or whirlpool, unheated, suitable for the summer which requires a place to rest and relax during the boat's displacement, in addition to chairs, shade, bar, music, lounge chairs, smoking area. The ship goes from Luxor to Aswan and back to Luxor in 7 nights, but you can choose 3, 4 or 7 nights.

- During the tours from Luxor to Asswan, the best option is always the cruise, which goes through all the monuments and makes stops at the main points, facilitating access to the Temples. Thus, as in the price of the cruise, tickets and guides are already included. We recommend taking the cruise from Luxor to Aswan, from where it is possible to go to Abu Simbel on a 3 hour round trip and 3 hour return trip. For this tour the cruise provides a snack kit for each passenger, because that day we left very early, before breakfast. In return we will have dinner.

A trip to Egypt will not be complete if you stay only in Cairo. Knowing Egypt needs to venture into the Nile River, in the desert, in the Temples, in the cities, in the history of the Pyramids, in culture, food, fruits, vegetables, music.

We offer tours with 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20 nights with all tours around included, so you don`t need to pay for any extra tours. If you have less days you will see less

The Red Sea has one of the most beautiful collections of marine life, suitable for diving, snorkeling and research on the seabed.

In the north of the country, the Mediterranean Sea bathes two important cities: Alexandria and Port Said. Both have their attractions, but Alexandria, being the oldest, has more monuments and history. In Alexandria we have the famous Alexandria Library, a beautiful building by the sea. The Roman Forum, since its construction, with ruins of the old library, the Sphinx, columns, amphitheater. We also have the Catacombs, where the remains of its inhabitants were left.
