Sacred Sunrise Ascent: Mount Sinai & St. Catherine 2-Day Tour

Our first evening in Egypt was made magical by the Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids, with Abanoub as our guide. From the start, Abanoub’s passion for Egypt’s history set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The show itself was mesmerizing—blending vibrant lights with captivating narration that brought the ancient monuments to life. Abanoub added extra depth, sharing fascinating insights between scenes, making the history feel even more real. The atmosphere was surreal, as the Pyramids glowed under the night sky, and the storytelling made us feel connected to Egypt’s rich past. Abanoub was attentive, ensuring we had the best views and answered all our questions. This show was a perfect introduction to our trip, with its combination of art, history, and culture. A must-do experience, especially with such an expert guide. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start their Egyptian adventure in awe.

Excellent Trip! Throughout the trip, the guide Ahmed and the driver Mohamed were pleasant to talk too and gave enjoyable company. Traveling solo felt more like an adventure of exploration rather than a tour. I highly recommend this experience to all those seeking for an enriching moments.

Climbing Mt Sinai with my Wife, we didn’t know what to expect, starting at 2.30am we arrived at the top to witness a truly amazing Sunrise, I’m 72 and my wife 62 and it was a hard climb especially the last 700 steps which are rough flat rocks. The view from the top is incredible will worth the trip from Cairo, The Monastery of St Catherine which we visited is very beautiful it’s a 6hr drive but our Guide Moses made it very enjoyable very knowledgeable not only about Egypt but other neighbouring countries we were very lucky to have him. The food was local mixed grill very good. Accommodation 1 night is country style don’t expect much because St Catherine is not a resort it’s a Bedouin community truly amazingly friendly people. Security in Sinai is full on lots of checkpoints but Moses made it so smooth. To do the climb you need to be reasonably fit, but if not there are Camels to take near to the top, our friends did this and loved the experience. Again thank you for a wonderful side trip from Cairo

We booked through Egypt Portal Tours for our 10 day trip and had Emy as our guide for the 2 days we spent in Cairo. We’ve visited the Giza pyramids, sphinx, saqqara pyramid, egyptian museum, old cairo and the bazaar. She’s very knowledgeable, patient and was always happy to answer the many questions we had and she knows all the good spots for photos :)

I had a great experience with the Egypt Tours Portal, I’ve spent four days in Cairo and Giza. Visited many places in both the city. This agency gives you the best service in the cheap price. Food was great. My tour guid Yassar was very very helpful. Very friendly. I am a travel lager, I’ve travelled to many places but Yassar was the best tour guid till date. If anyone comes to Egypt I will suggest Egypt Tours Portal.

Having an amazing experience that I just had to hop on here now to simply say how amazing our tour guide Reham Sabry is and our driver Mohammed Ibrahim. They are a whole vibe! Being with them, you are able to experience life as a tourist in Egypt as well as a "local". They truly go out of their way to make you feel so special and ensure you're having a great time!

We had a magical day with Hara. Everything went smoothly and we loved getting to see pyramids while on a layover. Highly recommend!

Amr Moses was a very knowledgeable and gracious guide. I enjoyed my tour of Giza, Cairo and Alexandria very much. I highly recommend him

Our experience in Cairo was one to remember! Our tour started and ended with the best guide and driver we could’ve ever asked for. My wife and I were confused and sceptical on how our first international trip just around COVID-19 would turn out to be but we were definitely not expecting what we experienced this trip. Since the time we landed in Cairo and till the day we left for Aswan our tour at Cairo was extremely comfortable and memorable. The destination is something that is the key for any trip but the Tour guide is also the one who makes that particular destination an unforgettable experience. We felt the exact same during this trip with Mr. Yaseer (Tour Guide) & Mr. Ahamed (Driver). They gave us the best feel of Egypt in every way possible from making sure we avoided traffic by leaving at a certain hour to giving us small treats and making sure we were hydrated and didn’t go hungry (on long days). Safe to say, At the end of the trip we shared something more than Tour Guide-Client relationship, we became friends. Our 4 days itinerary in Cairo as hectic as it was, was made comfortable and exciting for us! We sincerely thank Egypt Portal for organising this tour for us and from the bottom of our hearts thank Mr. Yaseer & Mr. Ahamed for making this indeed an unforgettable experience. We would highly, very highly recommend the above 2 gentlemen to our friends, family & any other traveller looking to travel to Egypt to learn and experience the country and its culture the way we did!

Just finished my Egypt culture tour. We spent about 2 days in Cairo, one day in Luxor, one day in Aswan -Abu Simbel. The whole tour arrangements were seamless. All the tour guides that included Ismail, hossan and Omar were excellent. They met us at airport, train station and hotels. It eliminated all the anxieties. I have to mention divers as well. They are very professional and drive cars smoothly. Definitely I will recommend them to anyone.
