Day-by-Day Egypt Tour Itinerary

Hotel Pick-up and Stargazing

The trip starts from your hotel in Hurghada. Be ready at the agreed time at the hotel lobby, the Golavita driver will pick you up with a jeep heading to the desert.

Jeep Trip Through the Desert

It's almost sunset; the Jeep drives through the desert, leaving you the chance to contemplate and enjoy the majestic view of the sunset in the unique Egyptian desert.

The color of the sunset and its spread that covers the desert and its terrain make you amazed by all this natural beauty. Enjoy the road and the unique view with stops in different places to watch the beauty of the sunset and take panoramic photos of it.

Camel Riding

Now is the time for a new experience in the Egyptian desert. You can't come to the desert and not try riding a camel. It's a fun and relaxing experience that makes you feel more integrated with the desert environment around you. Ride a camel for a short trip before arriving at the next experience.

Bedouin Camp

To complete the experience of merging with the desert around you, join a Bedouin camp where you will learn more about the quiet Bedouin life and hear from your guide about the daily life of the Bedouins and some of their beliefs and traditions.

Also, try the original taste of Bedouin tea as you have never tasted before, and enjoy a special dinner at the Bedouin buffet.

Hotel Drop-off

It's the time you've been waiting for. After nightfall, dinner, and Bedouin tea, it's time for the most interesting activity in the desert, stargazing. Be ready for the beauty you will see for the first time in your life.

Usually, we think the view of the sky that we see every day is natural, but what you will see in the heart of the desert is the real sky without the influence of city lights. Looking at the vast desert sky and seeing countless stars and meteors is a peaceful and tranquil experience. Golavita provides a professional telescope for observing stars and planets up close.

You will see the Milky Way clearly, your guide will talk to you about what you see and will explain the star clusters and the locations of the planets and constellations above you. It is an unparalleled experience that makes you feel the greatness of this universe and the small size of planet Earth with everything in it compared to what is around.

Stargazing

Now our journey is over. The jeep will take you back to your hotel, enjoy the road at night, and don't stop looking at the sky. Go back to your life but when you look at the sky every night remember that it is much more beautiful than what you see.

Where do I start!!! A massive thankyou to Mr Akram and his team for creating amazing excursions giving you memorable experiences. Right from the beginning, communication with Mr Akram was so professional, he attends to all your needs by listening to what it is you want to get out of your excursions and creates these amazing moments of a life time, all with the great connections he has. Nothing is too much of a hassle for Mr Akram, he answered all my questions thoroughly before I arrived. Mr Akram showed me and my friend Hurghada City and bought us drinks, which was a lovely gesture for getting to know each other. We went on two excursions whilst we were in Hurghada, one to Cairo and the other Luxor. Our hired car was very modern, clean and had AC, which gave us a great first impression. A big shout out to our driver Hamada- what an amazing job he does, not enough credit is given. He drove so professionally and made us feel safe the entire time we were in his company. A big shout out to Mushy our tour guide, what vast information she holds, absolutely amazing with great historical knowledge. She really gives you detailed information and takes her time explaining the finer details to you. Overall our whole experience was amazing, many laughs along the way, many memories to treasure. Nothing is too much hassle for these lovely people, Mr Akram always made sure we were ok and enjoyed our experiences by checking in on us. Drinks were always topped up ensuring we were hydrated all the time whilst on our tours. If your thinking of booking with Palma tours, don't think just book, you will not regret it, right from the first communication you make with Mr Akram, things run so smoothly that's its literally stress free for when you arrive. I can't thank Mr Akram, Hamada and Mushy enough, these three deserve well over 5 stars, and I'm already looking at my next trip for next year and I'm 1000% booking with yourselves again and Mushy and Hamada you'll be the people I'll be looking to hire again. Much love from Jill and Sobia (UK)

We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time!I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).

Wow my time in Egypt was beyond and it would never have been as good without my guide. I’m beyond grateful for his effort and all the energy he spent making my tips once in a lifetime. I know I’ll be back one day, and I look forward to see people I now call my friends.

We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada. Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert! The overnight stays were all planned in great detail. It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days! A huge thank you to Akram!

(5/5)
Great experience from the start to finish. Golavita excelled on all fronts from good customer service, customer care and eager to provide customer excellence.They organised a simple, cost effective and efficient service with their Luxor trip package.The van was almost brand new, great drivers, couple stops for refreshments and got us bang on time to Luxor. It was a 12 seater van with just 8 tourists leaving plenty of space for everyone to stretch and be comfortable. I have long legs and so I had requested specific seats which was booked for me in advance and I didn't get any hassle by drivers or other co passengers.The guide was Sherriff and I really really enjoyed the way he delivered the site seeing experience. Sheriff spoke fluent in English and with a Masters in Egyptology and 4 decades of experience there couldn't have been a better guide. I highly recommend Sherriff as a guide and Islam and Ahmed as the drivers of fellow Brits tourists.Above all I want to thank Golavita for organising this incredible journey.
