What People Are Saying
Reyna Lazarou
1 week agoLet's be honest, Egypt is A LOT, even for the experienced traveler. If you're going to visit, do it right by having Ramy craft the perfect itinerary and take care of the overwhelming details for you. We just got back and it was a stand out trip. The right amount of all the wonderful things one should see, do and experience on their first trip there. A big thank you to the whole team of folks who made this a trip to remember! 🫶🇪🇬
Karen Hill
6 months agoIf you’re even thinking about going to Egypt—go. And if you want it done right, go with Ramy and @travelwithamenra. From the moment we landed, every detail was handled with precision and care. This wasn’t just a trip, it was a fully curated experience that allowed us to immerse ourselves in Egypt’s history, culture, and beauty without the usual stress of travel logistics. Ramy’s level of organization and expertise was unmatched. Every transfer was seamless, every guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and every stop felt intentional and not rushed or touristy, but meaningful. Whether we were standing in awe at the pyramids, cruising the Nile, or exploring ancient temples, we always felt taken care of and safe. What really stood out was the balance: structured enough to maximize everything we wanted to see, but flexible enough to actually enjoy the moments. The accommodations, food, and overall service exceeded expectations, and you could tell this wasn’t a cookie-cutter itinerary, it was thoughtfully designed. Traveling with my line sisters made it even more special, and Ramy ensured our group experience was smooth, fun, and unforgettable from start to finish. If you’re looking for a trip that combines history, adventure, culture, and top-tier service—this is it. I cannot recommend Ramy and @travelwithamenra enough. 10/10 experience. Egypt owes me nothing. 🇪🇬✨
Kia Dunn
6 months agoJust returned from the most incredible trip to Egypt with @travelwithamenra and I can’t recommend them enough! ✨ They planned an unforgettable experience for our group of 7 women—from the moment we arrived, we felt completely safe, supported, and taken care of. Every detail was handled seamlessly, including transportation, lodging, knowledgeable tour guides, and even unique dining experiences that let us enjoy authentic Egyptian cuisine. We had a jam-packed week full of adventure—touring the pyramids, riding camels and ATVs, sailing the Nile on a traditional felucca, and exploring so many breathtaking monuments and temples. We traveled from Cairo to Aswan to Luxor and then Hurghada, and every transition was smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was how attentive and communicative the team was. They stayed in constant contact, shared helpful travel tips, and taught us so much about the history and culture of ancient Egypt along the way. Traveling internationally with a group can sometimes feel overwhelming, but they made it easy, organized, and truly enjoyable. If you’re considering Egypt (or any destination they offer), this is the team you want by your side. Highly, highly recommend! 💛

6 months agoWe traveled to Egypt in November 2025 for my 40th birthday and the trip was amazing. Rami organized excellent guides for us at all of the sites, and seeing the pyramids and ancient temples and hieroglyphics in person was mind-blowing. We kept saying that every day was better than the last. It was great having all the transfers organized for us, we did not need to worry about anything when it came to getting around. Aswan was beautiful and it was amazing to sleep at a hotel on the banks of the Nile. Spending a few days in Dahab was an excellent end to the trip - Rami showed us the amazing snorkeling at the reef right off of our beach, and took us to the Blue Lagoon, which was picturesque and surreal. And there are kittens there! Also Rami always had the BEST food recommendations, everything was delicious. I think we definitely saw a more local/authentic side of Egypt and met some amazing people because of Rami, rather than a westernized/touristy vacation.
Victoria Fydrych
6 months agoI cannot recommend Travel with Amen Ra enough if you are hoping to explore the incredible history and culture of Egypt! Ramy and his right-hand man Zayan did an impeccable job planning and executing an awesome itinerary in Cairo for a big group, most of whom were visiting Egypt for the first time. Ramy and Zayan took care of literally every detail, from picking us up before we even reached airport customs to ensuring we had a seamless experience every day of our travels. Ramy planned an itinerary that allowed us to see the best of Cairo (including the incredible Pyramids at Giza) in an efficient and safe way. He even taught us the art of haggling at the bazaar! It was a truly unforgettable trip and would not have been possible but for Travel with Amen Ra's amazing work. Especially if you are a first-time visitor to Egypt, do not waste your time stressing about itinerary planning and travel coordination - call Ramy!
