Terrible hotel room dirty bathroom unpleasant in need of repair. Tour guide slept the whole way there. Opening time of the monastery kept changing, We arrived and had to wait over two hours to get in and only one part was open to visitors Museum and library were closed

"Let's explore Egypt" is a very unserious travel agency. They would pick me up at 7:00 a.m. at my hotel. As nobody came I wrote a message via WhatsApp. They answered that they cancelled the trip because of security reasons. In my opinion it was a lie because on the homepage of the German Federal Foreign Office was not announced anything like that.

La Vacanza Travel confirmed the booking for the 2-day treck up Mount Sinai. I waited 45 min at the arranged time. The operator the trip, Let’s Explore Egypt, told me then the trip was cancelled - with a lot of attitude. Thanks a lot. Stay away from both of them. Rebooked the same day with Cairo Top Tours. FABULOUS. They pulled off a miracle!!!

The tour was really good, and Ali Baba was a terrific guide. The hike up Mt Sinai for sunrise was well worth the effort - the views were incredible - and the monastery afterwards was also very interesting. Would definitely recommend for an off-the-beaten-path experience

Very attencious guide and driver. Always buying water and snacks. The visit to Saint Catherine Monastery was quick, and the hiking to The mountain to see the sunset was incredible!
