We only recommend the Luxury or Ultimate Luxury options when staying in Egypt if you want a hotel that is recognised as 4-5 star in USA/UK etc

 

Basic hotels

5 star hotels, as graded in Egypt, simply provide basic accommodation - similar to 3 star in most parts of Europe and are NOT recommended by us. 5 star hotels, as graded in Egypt, are suitable for customers who can be satisfied staying in 2-3 star accommodation in the USA / UK etc.

Our Luxury plan or Ultimate Luxury plan, (plans B and C) are always recommended as the minimum you should book when visiting Egypt.

During certain times of the year, high seasons and last-minute bookings, flight tickets can become very expensive without prior notice, which may result in additional charges.

 

Travelling by overnight train:

We don’t recommend travelling by the overnight train, it takes15 to 18 hours on a very noisy train. The toilets are not good and smelly. Food is not good in general and beds are moderately comfortable.
