    Good morning,We are returning from a trip to Egypt from 04/29 to 05/11, 2024.We were a couple and a child who celebrated their 3rd birthday on the Nile ?This was our son's first trip. We therefore wanted a program adapted to its rhythm, which the Terra-trip agency offered us.All 3 of us came back delighted.Perfect organization meeting our expectations. Amro is very attentive and responsive from the preparation of the trip by email. Then during the trip he regularly checks in to see if everything is going perfectly.We had a really great guide, thank you Mostafa, speaking French very well, very interesting and friendly, full of good advice and attentive.We come back full of memories and magnificent engraved images.Thank you very much to the Terra trip agency which I highly recommend.

    We were delighted with our trip to Egypt with Terra Trips. Amro was attentive throughout our week. The service from the agency was excellent, with a taxi collecting us and taking us back from the hotel to the sites each day. Having a dedicated guide for our group of four was definitely a plus. Rimo, our guide, was fantastic. A big thank you to Terra Trips for this memorable discovery experience.

Very good guides, drivers who have impeccable driving skills. The itinerary was designed following numerous discussions with Amro who was able to listen to us.

    Hello, I have just returned from a week-long stay in Egypt organized by Amro Terra. Everything went very well from start to finish. I had some fears after sending the deposit (€1600) several months in advance to a foreign account but Amro is honest and so is his entire team. The planned program was respected and all the basic or optional services offered were of quality. The two guides we had, one for Cairo and another for the south, spoke French well and had great experience in their profession. The drivers were also very professional, which is especially important since driving in Egypt is very risky. Follow Amro's practical advice on preparing for your trip (sunglasses, cap, etc.) and you should be fine.A word of advice: plan a substantial additional budget in euros (coins and very small denominations) for the many tips.Enjoy your trip, Egypt is a beautiful country that will allow you to discover the Arab world, Africa and of course ancient civilization.David

    I have just returned from an exceptional stay in Egypt in January 2024, perfectly organized by TERRA-TRIPSThe situation in the country is very safe, far from current conflicts,I am a woman traveling alone and I have never felt unsafe, quite the contrary, I have always been well accompanied by fascinating guides, the kindness of the locals, and of course by the kindness and professionalism of Amro who been very present.Egypt is a country so culturally rich and the landscapes are of such beauty that it is a must-do and it would be a shame not to call on TERRA-TRIPS to ensure the success of your stay and an unforgettable trip!

    We left with friends in mid-November thanks to the Terra Trips agency and we were absolutely satisfied. The trip was tailor-made, perfectly adapted to our requests and even beyond our expectations.During our trip, Amro made sure every day that everything was going smoothly and was flexible with our last minute tour additions.On site, we felt perfectly welcomed and safe, accompanied by passionate and experienced guides who spoke French. The drivers were careful and we had no problems on the road or elsewhere.As students/new graduates, we managed to spend 10 days in Egypt at an extremely good price. We 100% recommend Terra Trips!

    Very well organized trip with an agency that is very present and always in contact from the start and throughout the trip.Special mention to our guide Mahsoub, "exceptional", for his presence which is both efficient and discreet, his attention and his anticipation of our trips and visits, and finally, for the quality of his advice and his shared knowledge.You can go there with your eyes closed and fully enjoy your trip with Terra-Trips. Thank you Amro, thanks to you I was able to realize a childhood dream. I wish you and your team good luck.

    I have just returned from a week between Cairo, Luxor and Aswan resolutely focused on multiple cultural visits.A meticulous organization, always available, Amro put together a tailor-made trip for us that we particularly appreciated, for once, without the children.No false notes throughout our stay for very good value for money! We highly recommend!! To do again, obviously with Terra Trip!

    We have just finished an 8 day trip to Egypt, organized by Terra trips. We are very satisfied with the organization and professionalism of Amro and his team. The support, from the moment we got off the plane, until our return to Cairo was very smooth and perfectly organized. Although we are used to planning our vacations ourselves, it is very nice to let ourselves be guided. We felt privileged to visit this magnificent country in these conditions.Special mention to our two guides Ali and Mostafa who are truly passionate about their country and who take us on most of the visits out of sync with the big cruise ships. The visit to Abu Simbel in particular was done almost alone.We were also treated to some very personalized excursions as close as possible to the daily lives of Egyptians.Note that our drivers demonstrated relatively safe driving, which contrasts with the frenetic traffic of Cairo.We will not hesitate for a single moment to contact Amro again for a second trip to Egypt.

    we left for 15 days at the beginning of October 2023 with my husband.We were welcomed by Amro at the airport. The organization, the hotels, the nights on the ANAKAB boat, the 3 days and 2 nights on a (magical) felucca, the visits, the various transfers, the guides, the drivers everything was perfect. We felt "privileged" and listened to.I highly recommend the Terra Trips agency for its professionalism and kindness.

    Amro is very professional and we enjoyed every moment of our trip. Skip the line at airports are valuable, the choice of restaurants wise. We were also able to visit the monuments at times chosen by Amro without tourist crowds, which makes a huge difference in the quality of the trip. Congratulations also to the guides and the boat staff. Very nice trip. Nothing changed

    We spent 10 days with Amro and his guides and confirm all the extremely positive comments. We even have the particularity of having traveled with 2 young girls, and this posed no problem. Amro was extremely available and responsive throughout the trip. Its guides are exemplary in professionalism and expertise. Our oldest daughter, aged 6, passionate about ancient Egypt, enjoyed this magnificent stay as much as we did. Amro took care of everything from our arrival to the return, including the tours, and all the transfers from Cairo to Abu Simbel. We can only recommend! As a bonus photo, special mention to one of our guides, Ali, as well as Rabia. But we are sure that the other guides selected by Amro are just as good!

    We are returning from a week in Egypt with my 2 children. Amro accompanied us, with his teams, at each stage of our tour... we were able to visit the main sites of ancient Egypt accompanied by experienced and personal guides.Every day, an exchange via WhatsApp allowed us to stay in touch and we knew we could count on him if necessary. I recommend this local incoming agency 100%!

    We have just returned from an 11-day trip to Egypt organized with Terra Trips.We were 2 adults and 2 children aged 2 and 4.5.Impeccable organization, fluid and well put together. Friendly and endearing people (special mention to the Cairo team and the driver to Soma Bay). Peace of mind when storing luggage in the car for days between 2 hotels. And above all tranquility and serenity in letting yourself be guided in a country where the change of scenery is total (especially in Cairo). And obviously personally full of good family memories ?.

    Good morning,We are a family of 6, with 4 teenagers and we traveled to Egypt for 7 days from December 17 to 25, 2022.We spent 2 days in Cairo and 5 days in Luxor.Once we arrived at Cairo airport, all we had to do was enjoy the vacation: everything was done to have no worries.Amro’s welcome was genuine and warm.Transfers were perfectly organized and friendly drivers on time.The French-speaking guides were all Egyptologists, they were able to be fascinating throughout the stay and create a close relationship with our family group.The choice of lunches was perfect and allowed us to discover the refined local cuisine.The organization of activities such as a hot air balloon flight and cycling in the Valley of the Kings was perfect.We recommend Terra Trips without reservation.A big thank you to Amro for his competence and kindness.The Royal family 😉

Bonne organisation tout au long de ce voyage, des guides avenants, compétents, des chauffeurs ponctuels, un programme presque ciselé et pourtant parfaitement maîtrisé. Terra Trips est une agence hautement recommandable !

    we decided somewhat at the last moment to go with our little daughter to Egypt. The Terra Trip agency that I contacted (a bit by chance) did a remarkable job and offered us an “à la carte” stay. respecting our budget, our desires and our constraintsThere were only good surprises and great encounters on site, starting with our 2 guides (Mustafa and Ali) who won us over with their professionalism, their kindness and their thoughtfulness for us and our 10-year-old granddaughter who returned as enchanted as we were.The dahabieh cruise took us back in time along the water. The crew was particularly kind and took great care of usTo summarize, we returned with images and memories without any worries or problems.I recommend without restriction Terra trip and its boss Amro This agency which deserves to be (re)recognized

    Je recommande vivement l'agence Terra-Trips pour toute la prestation, le suivi permanent et l'adaptation en temps réel aux changements inhérents à ce type de voyage. Je n'ai qu'un seul regret : que ce séjour entre Noël et jour de l'an n'ait pas été plus long. Mais, c'est certain que nous reviendrons en famille et que nous ferons à nouveau appel à Amro.

    Citizen Erased

    We finally decided to go to Egypt!Given that we were planning to go just as a girl, we hoped to find a serious agency that would supervise us and support us throughout our stay.By searching on forums we found the Terra-Trips agency, a local, serious and very often recommended agency, managed by Amro.We therefore, via their website, requested an “all inclusive” quote in which we listed the places and remains that we wanted to visit, our dates, our budget and other small points. Amro was very responsive (as it was throughout our stay), and put together a trip that perfectly met our expectations and our budget. He really took care of all the formalities, visits, internal flights, declarations etc. We just had to let ourselves be guided and appreciate the beauty of the sites of Egyptian history.We wanted to split our trip into two parts:First “discovery” week and second “rest” week all inclusive.So we started our trip in Cairo where we were supervised by a superb guide: Ali, who accompanied us throughout our stay in the North, and we also had a private driver, Youssef.Amro had then booked our internal flight to go to Aswan, in the South where we met our very friendly new guide Ahmed.Then followed a short 3-day Nile cruise to reach Luxor, the last stage of our “discovery” journey before heading to our “all inclusive” hotel carefully reserved by Amro, which was also: superb!During this second week we also had a Terra-Trips representative to help us and who was there when we wanted to book additional activities such as diving for example.Throughout this trip, Amro called us every day to make sure everything was going as planned and that we had no problems.For those who are a little worried about going to Egypt, know that you will be accompanied at all times.At the airports, we had someone with us to take care of tickets, our suitcases and to pick us up when we arrived.In the hotels the guides take care of our Check In and other formalities.And another little advantage: the private car which saves us a lot of time because we don't have to wait for all the passengers to get in before leaving (unlike the bus).To conclude, we recommend this agency 200%! Thanks to Amro and the whole team!

    My boyfriend and I went on vacation with the Terra Trips agency in August 2021.We chose to trust Amro to organize our trip and we are delighted!!First of all we visited Cairo and the pyramids with a great guide and a great driver (Ali and Youcef who we thank). Ali is passionate about his job and will answer all your questions without forgetting that he is very kind and attentive!Then we went to the south of Egypt to continue our experience and we met Moustafa our guide. He knew how to pass on his knowledge to us in a fun way and was very attentive to our needs and desires. We were delighted to spend our vacation with him!Concerning the support from Amro, everything went extremely well during the assistance with procedures at the airport, hotel reservations, etc.In addition, we asked to make an additional visit during our trip and Amro and Moustafa were very responsive and arranged an additional slot for us.We will end by thanking the entire team and partners (hotel, drivers, etc.) of Terra Trips and in particular our guides and Amro for this week which will remain engraved in our memories!! THANK YOU WE ARE DELIGHTED ?

    Three weeks before our departure to Egypt I realized that organizing our trip alone was almost impossible and too complicated... so I did some research and came across Terra trips! by reading the reviews on different sites I was quickly convinced!So I contacted Amro and explained to him the places I wanted to visit. The next day he offered me an extremely detailed, complete and completely personalized program! After a brief telephone conversation, I immediately gave my complete trust to Amro and God knows how complicated it is for a person like me who has this need to manage and control everything!Dozens of email exchanges followed, as soon as I had a question or a request I could be sure of having an answer the same day!The big day arrives: from the second we set foot at the airport in Egypt, we were taken care of by the Amro correspondents! Whether it was for the purchase of visas, or the recovery of suitcases for which we had a problem and which Amro also managed!At 3am Amro was there to welcome us and accompany us to our hotel room to make sure everything was ok! Not once during the entire stay did we feel alone or lost!Concerning the tourist guides we had Ali and Mohamed (Momo)! We didn't know it was possible to become so attached to people in such a short time.Ali will remain our favorite of the trip, a simple and kind human person who is extremely passionate about his work! We will never forget it!!!! We also had an exceptional driver Youssef, a wonderful encounter just like Ali, a good, serious and very kind man!Our second guide Momo is also a favorite! Such a funny person, passionate about his job and so concerned about our well-being! And we never get bored with him! Halfway through the stay we were starting to get a little tired and Momo reorganized all the activities so that it was less hard!As for Amro, he kept his promise to give us a wonderful stay!There wasn’t a single day he didn’t call us to see if everything was okay! until the last second he accompanied us in our procedures (airport, PCR test, etc.)Hotels, restaurants, private guides, private cruise drivers, visits... everything was managed by Terra Trips, we just had to put down our bags and let ourselves be guided by the team!I'm absolutely not a fan of organized trips, I prefer to organize everything myself, but this time it was a real revelation! And without a doubt I would use the services of Terra Trips again for our next trips to Egypt, it’s them and no one else!A thousand thousand thousand thanks to the whole team, you gave us an incredible, unforgettable stay... we are forever marked ??Chaima and wissemTravel from October 17 to 27

    I returned from a week's vacation with a friend, it was perfect, Amro manages his stuff well, the guide Ali is a living encyclopedia he teaches you a lot, from Fayoum to Alexandria he is at the top as well as "the best driver" Youssef who is also excellent... he knows Cairo almost like the back of his hand, it's not easy when you see that the city is so big. I highly recommend the team.

    Stay at the end of February 2020.What good memories! we still think about it today! and what organization!You can leave in peace with Amro: he will be there on site to take care of you with great kindness (how nice!!). Everything is really well organized, you are taken care of as soon as you get off the plane, we even help you go through customs, he will do the visa for you, you can if you want to buy a telephone/internet package right away at 15 € so practical!The choice of hotel in Cairo was impeccable, very pleasant staff, swimming pool, the taxi driver: great! The next day the guide is there, at the reception and all the visits go really well, no fatigue, the taxi always picks you up on time, no long walks to pick it up! Ali the guide takes great care, we were girls, he knew how to adapt to our desires, and we did lots of things that weren't planned in the program.Afterwards: the descent of the Nile for me was like a dream, it's truly magical to find yourself on the bridge and watch the banks of the Nile go by. All the visits were great, and the boat was brand new, very clean!On the way back, Amro was there waiting for us at the Cairo airport: we were able to debrief the trip and the next day he was still there to accompany us to the airport!I only wish you one thing: that you have as wonderful a time as we did in Egypt and it will be thanks to Amro and his team!!!

    We have just returned from a 19 day tour with Terra Trips. We traveled with our daughters aged 16 and 19. This trip was enchanting and a source of permanent discovery.We usually travel independently but for Egypt we preferred to entrust the organization to a local agency which masters the constraints and practices on site.I sent my requests to Amro who prepared a very balanced circuit for us with an experience in the desert of two nights in bivouac which will remain unforgettable for us.Accompanied by Ali, our guide for the north of the country and Mahmoud, our driver in the desert, we discovered fabulous landscapes at sunrise and sunset with magical light.Ali has always been a source of knowledge, whether on daily life, culture or history. He gave us many anecdotes and spared no time in answering our many questions.Thank you very much to him for his patience, his kindness and his availability.His visit to Cairo was magical for us.A big thank you also to Mohamed who accompanied us in the southern part of the country: cruise on the Nile, day of fishing at Lake Nasser and all the magnificent visits: Abu Simbel, Philae...Amro and his entire team prepared a trip for us, thought out down to the smallest detail: what comfort!And what we appreciated above all was the ability to adapt, to immediately find a solution when something unforeseen happens.Go with confidence, Amro takes care of everything!!Magnificent trip, wonderful family experience.

    We had very little time to prepare our trip to Egypt, so we opted for an agency, the TERRA TRIPS agency. Quickly, thanks to the knowledge of the location of the director of the agency, Mr. Amro, we set up a circuit, corresponding well to our wishes. And we will not regret it, we can assure you that we had an extraordinary trip that kept its promises. Mr. Amro was often present, we really felt safe. We were able to visit exceptional sites with the advantage that private tours can have.Mr. Amro designed unforgettable visits for us, with hotels and restaurants and exemplary organization.He put at our disposal two guides Ali and Mohamed, who were always present and who knew how to captivate us with the stories of the history of Egypt and its archaeology. They are fountains of knowledge and it is a joy to visit alongside them. They know how to adapt to our desires and answer all our questions. A thank you also to our driver who knew how to charm us with his smile and his songs.We can only recommend the Terra-trips agency and its “captain” Mr. Amro. Everything was perfect, don't hesitate to entrust him with your next trip, you won't be disappointed.

An always warm welcome, perfect organization, personalized and attentive, knowledgeable and friendly guides (we had the happy surprise of seeing Mustapha again in Cairo who had already accompanied us in 2011!!!…).We do not hesitate to encourage our friends and family to visit Egypt with complete confidence with Terra-Trips.So our opinion: if you want to visit Egypt outside of large groups and tours, Amro will be able to offer you “your tour”…Have a good trip !

    I went to Egypt for a few days at the beginning of the month. I didn't have a lot of time there and I wanted to make the most of it and have an immersion in the culture of the country. I contacted the Terra Trips agency found via le petit futé and I had the pleasure of speaking with Amro. It was easy to develop the program around Cairo in a private manner and according to all my requests. He showed flexibility. Once there, everything went perfectly. My guide Mustapha was exceptional, always available and very precise in his instructions. I learned a lot. The drivers were great and Amro closely monitored my entire stay with lots of attention. I highly recommend the services of this agency. They are kind, helpful and offer quality services.

    Initially, I didn't want a tourist circuit and didn't want to spend my day seeing antiquities, being in Egypt for diving. Amro understood immediately, giving me a personalized and atypical tour, passing by the horde of tourists to focus on a few more than interesting details. In addition, not wanting a classic restaurant, he took me to one of his friends for typical cuisine. Terra Trip brought me everything I expected, always with a smile and attentive to my requests.

    8 jours entre Assouan et Louxor avec croisière en Felouque privative sur le Nil aux expériences variées et bien dosées correspondant bien à nos attentes qui nous ont fait découvrir plusieurs facettes de l'Egypte combinant les lieux incontournables et les sites hors des sentiers battus. Très belle prestation et accompagnement de qualité.

    An absolutely extraordinary trip with Terra Trips.Everything was absolutely taken care of from the start to the end of the trip: Amro, at the origin of this organization, takes care of absolutely everything. It is an agency on a human scale which truly seeks to satisfy its clients. customers, everything was done so that we could have a pleasant stay and above all: the guides are quality!!! No superficial explanations or desire to "do it quickly"/to cut it short... We really feel the passion and interest that drives them...Having compared a multitude of agencies before launching, I was able to see sometimes staggering prices offered by other companies... However, with Terra Trips, everything is absolutely personalized and we don't have the feeling of being in tourist trunks, in buses or boats armored to the brim...It was a little less than a month ago for us... And from the bottom of my heart, I recommend this magnificent trip to Egypt with the Terra Trips agency... Because it must be said , it’s all this organization that allowed us to keep exceptional memories...A big thank you to Amro and his kindness (an unexpected thing? he really takes care of EVERYTHING), to Ali and his laughter, to Mohammed and his humor and to our Hazem, their driver... Very emotional on the last day at the Cairo airport before taking our flight to Paris...In a word: GO!!!

    In May 2011, I went to Egypt for 15 days with my mother, then 89 years old.I chose the Terra Trips Agency on the Internet and I admit to having been a little worried at the time just after the terrible events at the start of the year.But Amro was waiting for us in Cairo and it was then a wonderful stay in his company and that of our driver. The circuit was well thought out for my mother and we had fun throughout. Welcome, kindness, Amro's very interesting comments on the culture of his country...it was all there. It is a very professional agency that I recommend without hesitation.

    We went to Egypt for 10 days last April and we chose the local agency Terra Trip.We had a personal guide and driver. We noted "Punctuality, seriousness, excellent knowledge, kindness" from these people"Everything was organized perfectly. We let ourselves be carried away...Mr. Amro, the Director of the Agency, welcomed us in Cairo despite the late hour (2 a.m.!) and every day we had a telephone call from him to find out if we were satisfied. At our request, he agreed to add visits for free!This trip left us with wonderful memories, and I think we will return, there are still so many sites to discover! What wonders! It’s grandiose!I highly recommend this agency.

    Hello, 4 of us traveled at the end of 2018 to Egypt, once again choosing Amro Terra from Terra Trips, which we knew for having already appreciated its know-how, the good organization and the friendly and relaxed nature of the relationships with himself and with the guides he offers. Good company and very efficient guides.We had indeed kept excellent memories of superb previous trips during which we explored the White Desert, the Siwa Oasis, Fayoun, the Mediterranean Coast, Alexandria and of course Cairo.We completely trusted Terra Trips for all these trips and we were not disappointed. For the 2018-19 end-of-year holidays Amro organized a trip for us from Luxor to Aswan.The classic visits around Luxor and then Aswan were very exciting and enhanced with original discoveries through contacts and meals organized with locals. Then we were on a very beautiful Dahabieh, a sailing boat sailing on the Nile which can be taken in tow in case of no wind. An original way of sailing on the Nile and allowing you to discover villages where classic cruise ships do not approach. Life on board was very pleasant, in a small group (10 passengers traveling with their guides). The meals on board were delicious and varied, but we warn you, alcohol was nowhere to be found!!! think about it first! On December 31st we celebrated under the starry sky and the crew treated us to a little musical and dancing show!It was very good and we will travel again with Terra Trips: Egypt is a discovery that is always renewed.

    We traveled with our 11 year old son to Egypt last February, 11 days from Cairo to Abu Simbel.After several searches for a local agency on the Internet, and despite a slightly higher price than other agencies, we chose Terra Trips for the friendliness and professionalism of Amro with whom we were able to communicate several times by telephone.We were hesitating between the cruise and car part for the entire stay and given the age of our son, he strongly advised us to opt for the car, which allowed us to do visits every morning until 2 p.m. and then, to rest in the hotels and enjoy the swimming pools.Perfect welcome, daily presence by telephone, guides speaking French very well (special mention for Hamed, our "southern" guide who knew how to adapt perfectly to our timings and knew how to interest our son with games and anecdotes...Completely "tailor-made" trip, readjusted to daily life, permanent presence of a person with us, local restaurants, unique discoveries and "just for us", we really had a wonderful trip, both on a cultural level and on a human level .Highly recommended!!!

    Good morning,Already many very good comments on Terra Trips, and here is another!We left for 8 days as a couple, between Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada, all organized by Amro from Terra Trips. Nothing to say, everything went very well!Few unforeseen events and in all cases Amro was very present throughout the stay to adapt our program if necessary.A little extra for the Nile crossing in a hot air balloon which was offered to us by our guide Ahmed, ex-tra!In short, very good memories 🙂 Thank you Terra Trips!

    In March 2019, I had the opportunity to visit Egypt with my son. We chose to trust Terra Trips to organize our trip and guide us once there. It was a great choice! Our stay was excellent, the choice of hotels, the boat, the visits, etc. everything met our expectations. Our guides were true professionals and very friendly. I recommend this agency if you want to take a beautiful trip to the land of the pharaohs.Patrick

    Terra trips was able to organize the trip we wanted, an unforgettable trip with the must-see sites but also visits off the beaten track and a very beautiful felucca cruise. We appreciated :- the relevance of the proposal in relation to our request, linked to very good knowledge of the country and the expectations of Western travelers- extreme responsiveness (late response, rescheduling of visits based on schedule changes)- the quality and kindness of the guides, drivers and crew of the felucca- monitoring throughout the trip to ensure it goes smoothly.We highly recommend.

    Good morning,My husband and I are returning from an 8-day tour in Egypt.We hesitated between 2 local agencies, and it was finally towards Terra Trips (recommended on the backpacker's blog) that we left. Amro, the director of the agency, is the ideal contact to very easily organize a tailor-made trip to Egypt. And we were not disappointed, our individual tour went perfectly. Being picked up by the agency as soon as we got off the plane allowed us to save a lot of time obtaining the visa and going through customs. We are immediately put at ease by Amro’s friendliness and desire to do well. The stay will be just perfect: From Cairo to Abu Simbel, we fell under the spell of the Nile: dozens of temples in an incredible state of conservation, the great thrill when we are alone visiting a tomb discovered a few weeks before (Indiana atmosphere Jones!), the discovery of the pyramids on the back of a camel (also the best way to take the most beautiful photos of the pyramids), the incredible beauty of the tombs of the Valley of the Kings (wow guaranteed!), The little-known but superb Valley of the queens that we were the only ones to visit, the temple of Luxor at night (magical), The “Agatha Christian” charm of the cruise on the Nile (I know, it’s not said but I couldn’t find a better term) , without forgetting the fabulous temple of Abu Simbel (wow too!). The advantage of going through Terra Trips is that they made us discover, in addition to the great classics, monuments very little frequented by tour operators because it is impossible to access for a large group (like certain tombs) or simply a little more distant, like the Valley of the Queens.Unfortunately for the Egyptians, the sites are very little frequented, even deserted. We spent more than 20 minutes, alone in front of and in the temple of Abu Simbel. The magic of the sites is increased tenfold and the photos a little more authentic without the Japanese girls dressed as Hello Kitty princesses right in the center!Difficult to leave an opinion without talking about the sensitive subject of tourist safety. Thanks to the omnipresence of the police and the army, at no time did we feel unsafe.I will finish by thanking the guides, Wallid and Mina, for their kindness, their knowledge, their great flexibility... and their valuable advice to escape the sellers in the tourist stalls.

    We traveled with Terra-Trips in April 2009.For all those who are asking the questions that I asked myself a few months before leaving:- First of all, the Terra-Trips agency is Amro Terra itself.Therefore, everything depends on him and he is really serious.Amro is a very friendly person and very attentive to his customers. We communicated by email about forty times to refine the service I wanted and he always responded in a positive spirit (even though I myself thought I had become a boring customer!).- He organized everything on site: transfers, hotel reservations, restaurants, train tickets, visits, boats, etc. We let ourselves be carried away with complete confidence. In short, vacation!- We paid with the "Kilk & Pay" system online using a Visa card. First 50% on order. Then another game a week before leaving. Then 1,000 €uros in cash on arrival at the airport. We received the corresponding invoices over time. The only thing we lacked to be completely reassured before leaving were “vouchers” confirming hotel reservations, but Amro told us that he was going to work on it.- As far as we are concerned, he accompanied us throughout the trip, which is particularly reassuring in a country whose culture we do not know and where we do not speak the language. In short, we had our guide all to ourselves + a driver (sometimes 2 for long journeys).Under these conditions, the prices announced by Amro are very reasonable, given the service. Compare what is comparable: any publicly recognized Tour Operator, providing you with all visits as well as all meals, will charge you at least 20% more.- Egypt is already a country with extraordinary cultural wealth, but Egypt with Amro is truly a fantastic experience. And when we know how much the country needs tourism to ensure its development, we should not hesitate to combine business with pleasure by choosing to travel with Terra-Trips.- No, nothing, we regret nothing: thank you Amro!

    Good morning,We spent 10 days in Egypt (Cairo, pyramids, Nile cruise, Red Sea) with Terra Trips.Everything went extremely well, from the discussion to prepare the trip (very precise and very responsive email exchanges with Amro, which made us decide to choose the agency), to the choice of the 2 guides (Ali for Cairo and the pyramids and Ahmed for the Nile valley), to the always attentive support (guides of course, drivers, phone calls,...) to the special attentions for our honeymoon. The guides are very good at adapting to our preferences and most of the time we visited the sites far from the armada of tourists.We can only encourage you to go with them! All our contacts shared with us the love of their country.Thank you Amro, Ali and Ahmed.Fran & Romain

    Bernard RACT

    We are a single couple very happy with the trip we have just taken with your agency. The two guides were particularly competent, very attentive to us to satisfy all our wishes. We were able to visit the sites quietly, often without the inconvenience of tourist buses thanks to their judicious choice of times.The two hotels in Cairo were 4-star European standards. For the cruise our cabin was spacious with a bathroom (shower) of a good standard. On the boat the buffet meals were OK, but perhaps lacked variety.The drivers were calm and level-headed. They were on time and everything was perfectly coordinated.We really appreciated the help at the airport with the formalities.In summary: PERFECTWe can only highly recommend this agency.Bernard and Françoise

Jour 2Le Caire (Les Pyramides et tombeaux de Gizeh & les Pyramides méconnues de Dahshur) - > Assouan - Jeudi

Départ pour le plateau de Gizeh, visite de l’extérieur des pyramides de Khéops, de Khephren et de Mykérinos ainsi que du mystérieux Sphinx.

Ensuite, départ hors de sentiers battus, vous visiterez les vestiges très modestes du Temple Haut, où il ne reste que le sol en basalte, au sein duquel les 42 prêtres procédaient autrefois à la cérémonie de l’ouverture de la bouche sur la momie royale avant de l’enterrer dans la pyramide, puis visite de fosses vides gigantesques creusées dans la roche, qui étaient destinées à accueillir les barques solaires du roi lors de son voyage dans l’au – delà.

Ensuite vous allez visiter du petit temple bas de la pyramide du roi Khephren, dont les murs et les plafonds sont en granit, et le sol est recouvert d’albâtre blanc. Au milieu de la pièce se trouve le célèbre “puits”, c’est ici où fut découverte la statue de Khephren, unique en son genre en 1860. Déjeuner barbecue dans un restaurent au quartier de pyramides.

Départ hors de sentiers battus pour rejoindre le village typique de Dahshour pour la découverte des belles et moins connues pyramides de Dahshour, découverte de l’extérieur de la pyramide rhomboïdale – la seule en Egypte qui conserve encore son revêtement extérieur, puis vous entrez dans la pyramide rhomboïdale ouverte très récemment pour la première fois au public. Poursuite par la visite de la pyramide Rouge, entrée dans la pyramide rouge.

Transfert à l’aéroport du Caire, et envol pour Assouan, accueil, accompagnement et installation dans votre hôtel, 5* (2-3* norme européenne) Tolip Aswan.  Nuit à l’hôtel.

Jour 3(Début de la croisière) Assouan - Vendredi

 Départ en voiture puis en petit bateau à moteur sur le petit Lac pour se rendre à l’Île de l’Agilika”, visite approfondie du temple de Philae, qui est sans aucun doute, la « Perle du Nil », construit sur une île submergée dans les années 1970 par la hausse du niveau du lac de retenue de l’ancien barrage d’Assouan, à la suite de la construction du haut barrage.

Vous allez visiter entre autres, le temple d’Isis, qui est de toute évidence la principale construction de Philæ. C’est l’un des sanctuaires majeurs de la déesse en Égypte. Après cela départ pour visiter la chapelle méconnue de la déesse de l’amour Hator, et, pour conclure visite du Kiosque de Trajan qui est la caractéristique principale du site.

Isis est une reine mythique. Le plus souvent, elle est représentée comme une jeune femme coiffée d’un trône ou, à la ressemblance d’Hathor, d’une perruque surmontée par un disque solaire inséré entre deux cornes de vache. Elle est la sœur et l’épouse du roi Osiris, un être généreux qui plaça son règne sous le signe de l’harmonie cosmique. Isis sous la forme d’un oiseau rapace s’unit à la momie de son époux et conçoit Horus. Isis fait de lui le souverain éternel de la Douât, un monde paradisiaque peuplé d’esprits immortels. Pour assurer sa protection, elle le place sous la garde attentive du dieu canin Anubis, son fils adoptif.

Jour 5Croisière – (Edfou – Louxor) - Dimanche

Après le petit-déjeuner, départ pour la visite du temple d’Edfou, dédié au dieu faucon Horus, fils d’Isis. En fait Edfou doit sa célébrité, non à sa haute antiquité, mais au temple colossal qui s’éleva, à l’époque ptolémaïque, dans la ville. De plus c’est l’un des temples les mieux conservés d’Égypte et le deuxième édifice en grandeur après Karnak : 137 mètres de longueur, 79 mètres de largeur, 36 mètres de hauteur pour les pylônes. Le temple fut érigé sur un temple beaucoup plus ancien. Ses travaux de construction furent commencés sous Ptolémée III en -237. Pour se terminer sous Tibère, 180 ans plus tard. Entièrement construit en grès, ce temple est remarquable par son plan harmonieux aux proportions parfaites. 

Ensuite retour sur le bateau pour la navigation (environ 4 heures) pour rejoindre la ville d’Esna avec le passage de l’écluse. Arrivée à Louxor. 

Puis, en fin d’après – midi départ pour la visite du temple de Louxor illuminé sous un très bel éclairage qui le met dans sa plus belle beauté. Dîner et nuit à bord.

Qu'est ce que le Nil ?

Le Nil est un fleuve African. En fait , avec une longueur d’environ 6 700 km . C’est avec le fleuve Amazone, le plus long fleuve du monde. … Ses deux branches s’unissant à Khartoum, capitale du Soudan actuel. Enfin de son chemin le Nil se jette dans la Méditerranée en formant un delta au nord de l’Égypte.

Deuxième plus long fleuve mondial. Il traverse la terre d’Egypte du sud vers le nord où il se ramifie en deux branches, Damiette et Rosette qui débouchent sur la Méditerranée.

De plus, il couvre une superficie de 1.9 millions de km2. Il se prolonge dans 10 Etats : la Tanzanie- le Kenya- le Zaïre- le Burundi- le Rowanda- l’Ethiopie- l’Erythrée- l’Ouganda- le Soudan et l’Egypte.

Le Nil prend sa source dans le lac Victoria. Intercepté par des chutes et des dépressions il les dépasse pour s’élancer de toute force jusqu’à l’atteinte de son cours naturel.

Sans le Nil, toute l’Égypte serait désertique. Il ne tombe qu’environ 2,5 centimètres de pluie par an dans toute l’Égypte. Mais chaque été, le fleuve monte à cause des pluies à sa source, loin au sud, en Éthiopie. Les inondations couvrent les vallées du fleuve. Laissant les sédiments nécessaires à la croissance des arbres, des plantes et des cultures.

L’Égypte est souvent divisée en deux sections : La Haute-Égypte au sud et la Basse-Égypte au nord. Les sections sont ainsi nommées parce que le Nil coule du sud au nord. Le fleuve se jette dans la mer Méditerranée.

Le paysage du sud de l’Égypte est composé de basses montagnes et de désert. Le nord de l’Égypte possède de larges vallées près du Nil et un désert à l’est et à l’ouest. Au nord du Caire, la capitale, se trouve le delta triangulaire du Nil. Cette terre fertile est entièrement recouverte de fermes.

Que ce qu’une croisière sur le Nil ?

Une expérience véritablement mémorable et dépaysante pour visiter certains temples et de sites archéologiques qui sont parmi les plus importants de l’Egypte. Et qui sont situées en Louxor et Assouan. Elle va vous ravir tellement il y a des choses antiques et authentiques à admirer. Ainsi vous allez vous imprégner de la nature pittoresque de ce si grand pays. Ainsi de ces lieux où ont vécu les égyptiens de l’époque pharaonique.  

Par ailleurs une croisière sur le fleuve le plus mythique du monde qu’est le Nil sera assurément un circuit des plus époustouflant, s’il en est un. Certes, ce sera une croisière des plus fabuleuses et à la fois INOUBLIABLE ! Si vous le désirez, vous aurez le loisir de voguer lentement à bord d’un bateau de luxe circulant sur le fleuve. À son bord vous découvrirez l’Égypte antique, des endroits comme : Louxor / Assouan / Dendérah / Abydos / Vallée des Rois / Kôm Ombo / Esna / Edfou…pour ne nommer que ceux-là ! Mais il y a également d’autres sortes de bateaux que vous pouvez utiliser pour remonter le majestueux Nil, comme par exemple les différentes ‘’felouques’’, embarcations à voile sûrement moins coûteuses, mais par contre moins confortable que les plus grands bateaux comme les Dahabeya 4 cabines et autres bateaux de luxe.  À vous de faire votre choix….selon votre bourse !

 

Que sont les sites archéologiques que l’on peut visiter pendant la croisière sur le Nil en Egypte ?

En fait les sites sont différents selon le type de bateaux que vous allez emprunter pendant votre croisière sur le Nil en Egypte, mais la plupart de bateaux classiques font visiter :

En premier lieu Louxor (La Rive Est) : le temple de Karnak et Louxor. L’on peut aussi visiter le Musée archéologique de Louxor et le Musée de la Momification. Ainsi que passer au Spectacle ‘Son et Lumière’ du temple de Karnak. Vous pouvez aussi partir soit pout une demi-journée pour visiter le temple de la déesse Hathor de Dendérah. Soit pout une journée pour visiter en plus le temple d’Abydos.

Ensuite la Rive Ouest appelé aussi la nécropole Thébaine : la Vallée de Rois, le temple de la Reine Hatshepsout ont les deux sites les plus visités pendant une croisière classique en Egypte. Pourtant il y’ d’autres sites magnifiques et qui sont méconnus, comme la Vallée de Reines, la Valle de Nobles, le Temple de Médinet Habou de Ramsès III, le temple moins préservé de Ramesseum du Roi Ramsès II.

Aussi le Village des artisans de Deir et Medina, le temple paisible du roi Seti I, les tombes des Khoka, de Sheikh abd Gourna, ainsi que les tombes de Asassif, sans oublier la Vallée de Singes où se trouve la belle tombe du Roi Ay qui était le successeur du Roi Tout Ankh Amon.

Le temple d’Edfou dédié au dieu faucon Horus, et le temple de Kom Ombo dédié au dieu Sobek (le crocodile) et au dieu Haroris ( Horus le grand ou le vieux)

Assouan : le Temple de Philae dédié à la déesse Isis, le Haut Barrage d’Assouan, le Temple de Kalabsha sur le Lac Nasser, les anciennes carrières du garnit rose ou se trouve l’obélisque inachevé, le jardin de fleures appelé aussi l’île Kitchener et le jardin botanique, le village nubien, et à ne pas manquer une balade en felouque sur le Nil. Aussi vous pouvez partir pour visiter les temples d’Abou Simbel depuis Assouan.

 

 

Quelle est la meilleure période pour faire une croisière sur le Nil en Egypte ?

La meilleure période pour une croisière sur le Nil est entre novembre et mars. Elle correspond à la haute saison touristique du pays. Vous pourrez profiter d’un séjour agréable au gré du fleuve égyptien et vous éviterez ainsi le soleil brûlant de l’été. A savoir que pendant cette période d’hiver les journées sont courtes, et il fait frais voir froid la nuit et au petit matin.

On peut faire la croisière en dehors de cette période, mais à savoir il fait souvent chaud parfois au-delà de 40°C l’été.

Que sont les différents types de bateaux de la croisière sur le Nil en Egypte?

Le bateau à moteur

Vous pouvez trouver tout le nécessaire à bord. Le bateau est assez grand, confortable, certains sont meilleures que les autres. Au niveau du respect de mesures d’hygiène, les prestations qui sont proposées, comment le bateau est aménagé a l’intérieur. Aussi les décorations du bateau et de cabines. La nourriture, le personnel du bateau, et les animations en soirée.

Il y un grand salle restaurant, pour les repas (petit déjeuner, déjeuner et dîner) ainsi qu’un grand bar-salon et sur le pont, une piscine et des transats.

Il vaut toujours choisir les bateaux le plus récents ou rénovés comme ils sont mieux entretenus.

Le nombre de cabine est souvent 60 : 80 cabine. Bine qu’il existe aussi de petits bateaux à moteur de 20 : 30 cabines qui sont plus luxueux et qui sont souvent des suites. 

La croisière sur un bateau à voile

Un bateau à voile d’une dizaine de mètres sans cabines. Ou un équivalent plus luxueux avec des cabines comme le « dahabeya » ou le « sandal ».

Ce moyen de transport est donc plus intimiste, mais moins confortable en contre-partie. Il est davantage destiné aux voyageurs à la recherche d’authenticité et éloigné de la foule.

Les petites felouques

 Petit bateau à voile, partant d’Assouan vers Kom Ombo ou Edfou pour des raisons de vents. Confort assez spartiate. L’avantage est sa maniabilité, ce qui permet de s’arrêter n’importe. Et surtout de profiter pleinement du paysage, et qui vous permettra de découvrir l’Egypte authentique. Ce sont les embarcations traditionnelles du Nil, ces fameux petits bateaux en bois (et en métal maintenant), voguant au gré du courant avec leur voile triangulaire.

On navigue donc à l’ancienne, avec le courant et le vent. Le bateau se compose uniquement d’un ponton de bois, recouvert de matelas moelleux pour dormir (super confortable !).

Les couvertures et coussins sont fournies bien entendu, ainsi que la  nourriture typqieuement nubienne. Par contre l n’y a pas de cabine, ni de toilettes ni de salle de bain cependant ! Vos valises sont stockées en-dessous du pont et vous passerez votre temps sur les matelas. Le format est à la roots : lever avec le soleil, toilette de chat ou baignade dans le Nil et journée rythmée par les repas, le soleil, les baignades et les paysages.

Les grandes felouques

Il existe des felouques un peu plus grandes avec une petite cabine de toilettes / lavabo. Mais le bateau est aussi beaucoup plus spacieux que sur une petite felouque. Ce qui rend le voyage vraiment plus agréable. Il est aussi possible de monter sur le toit du bateau, qui est en dur (contrairement aux petites felouques où il n’y a pas toit, mais une toile pour protéger du soleil). 

Les sandales et dahabeyas

 Ils sont de replique des bateaux des princes et des archéologues du 19ème siècle. Ils sont bien équipés. Il s’agit de la variante la plus authentique et la plus confortable, et la plus chère. Le grand avantage de ces bateaux. C’est qu’ils ont des cabines. On navigue donc au gré du Nil avec beaucoup du confort. 

 

Est-ce que l’on peut s’embarquer sur un bateau de la croisière tous les jours ?

Non, les bateaux s’embarquent dans certains jours, donc si vous avez envie de faire la croisière sur le Nil adaptez les dates de votre voyage selon les jours d’embarquements de bateaux.

Les bateaux classiques ou les bateaux à moteur s’embarquent pendant 4 nuits de la croisière et 3 nuits depuis Louxor.

La plupart s’embarquent le Lundi de Louxor et le Vendredi d’Assouan.

Certains s’embarquent le Samedi de Louxor et le Mercredi d’Assouan.

Un peu de bateaux s’embarquent le Jeudi de Louxor et le Lundi d’Assouan.

Les petites et les grandes felouques peuvent naviguer selon le jour de votre choix. Tandis que les dahabeyas s’embarquent souvent le Samedi depuis Louxor, le Dimanche ou le Lundi depuis Esna situe à 65 Km au sud de Louxor.

Peut – on faire la croisière entre le Caire et Assouan ?

Oui, il est possible de faire ce que l’on appelle ‘Longue Cruise’ dont très peu de bateaux qui le font pourtant, vous l’on peut admirer un magnifique paysage encore vierge, et des très beaux sites méconnus au tourisme de masse, le programme de cette croisière en principe les visites suivantes : Beni Suif, El – Minya pour les visites de tombes de Beni Hassan.

 La nécropole de Tuna el Djebel de babouins et des Ibis , le Monastère de Djebel el Teir. Aussi le temple d’Istabl Antar de la Reine Hatshepsout, la nécropole islamique de Zaweyet el Amaat. Apres cela Tel el Amarna avec les visites du site d’Akhenaton : Akhet Aton. Puis Sohag avec la visite du beau temple d’Abydos. Et enfin, Qena pour visiter le temple de la déesse Hator de Dendérah avant de rejoindre Louxor. Ensuite, l’on continue faire la croisière classique entre Louxor et Assouan.

Est-ce possible de visiter le temple d’Abou pendant la croisière sur le Nil ?

Non, a cause de la première cataracte, et qui un l’une de six qui sont des chutes d’eau, dus à des encombrements rocheux dans le lit du Nil. Elles empêchent la navigation sur le fleuve, mais sans l’interrompre, et de deux barrages d’Assouan, les croisières sur le Nil se font entre Louxor, et elles ne peuvent pas naviguer au-delà d’Assouan.

Vaut mieux - il visiter les temples d’Abou Simbel pendant la croisière sur le Nil en Égypte ?

Oui, c’est l’un de plus beaux temples de l’Egypte antique, et ce sera dommage de visiter l’Egypte sans se rendre à Abou Simbel, ils sont deux temples le grand est celui du Roi Ramsès II, et le petit construit pour rendre hommage et glorifier son épouse la Reine Néfertari. Creusés dans la roche sur le Nil, à environ 70 kilomètres de la deuxième cataracte, ils sont classés patrimoine mondial par l’Unesco.

Lors de la construction du Haut Barrage d’Assouan afin de produire de l’électricité, d’augmenter les surfaces cultivables. L’appel à la sauvegarde des monuments de la Nubie fut lancé de l’UNESCO. Le principe essentiel était de déplacer les sanctuaires hors des lieux menacés pour les exposer à nouveau, le plus près de leur site d’origine dans la même orientation, à l’abri des eaux du futur lac Nasser, et les temples d’Abou Simbel furent partie de ce sauvetage et qui ils ont été déplacés en hauteur pour éviter la noyade au fond du lac Nasser.

Comment faire pour aller visiter les temples d’Abou Simbel ?

Abou Simbel se situe à 270 Km d’Assouan a environ 3 heures et demi de route, donc vous pouvez aller par un vol depuis Assouan, l’inconvénient qu’il est possible de ne pas trouver une place sur l’avion même si vous avez votre billet confirmé, l’on peut aussi partir en voiture, et c’est le moyen le plus connu, le voyage se passe au cours d’un convoi policier, et il faut présenter une permission de la police accompagnée par la photocopie de votre passer la veille du départ.

Le troisième moyen est de faire la croisière sur le Lac Nasser, en partant d’Abou Simbel pour se rendre a Assouan en 3 nuits, ou en partant d’Assouan pour se rendre a Abou Simbel en 4 nuits, vous allez visiter pendant votre croisière les temples nubiens parmi Wadi el Sebou ‘ édifié par le Roi Ramsès II’ La Vallée de Sphinx’, les temples Gréco-romains de Dekka et Mehraka, la petite chaplle de Beit el Wali du Roi Thout Mosis III, et le site de Qasr Ibrim.

Qu’est le plaisir de faire la croisière sur le Nil en Egypte ?

Pendant votre voyage en Egypte, le point le plus fort, c’est que pendant la navigation de votre bateau vous assisterez au spectacle permanent des bords du Nil qui change en permanence. La magie opère à chaque instant, mais encore un peu plus lorsque le soleil se couche et que le ciel prend une teinte dorée.

En effet, vous profiterez tout au long de la croisière, en plus de vos visites, d’une vue sur le Nil et ses paysages fabuleux.

Donc vous allez observer les paysages, vous allez visiter les magnifiques temples, et les tombes, et vous allez admirer les couchers de soleil, sous une température agréable, il suffit d’être sur le pont de son bateau en soirée et naviguer sur le Nil est particulièrement plaisant, et surtout contempler les paysages qui défilent tranquillement.
