Highly recommend a honeymoon in Egypt. It was unique, awesome, and we had a great time!
We planned to spend our honeymoon in Egypt and we are glad we booked with Memphis Tours. They trailer made and planned everything and it came out way better than we had planned it in our heads!
My husband planned a secret honeymoon for the two of us, and I was extremely excited when I found out we were headed to Egypt! Highly recommend spending your honeymoon in Egypt.
We had a wonderful experience with a honeymoon in Egypt. We didn't particularly organise a honeymoon trip, but the trip with Memphis Tours certainly made it very enjoyable. Mohamed Sakr organised a trip according to our requirements. And of the guides we were particularly happy with Ahmed Farahat, who gave us a private tour of the pyramids and nearby attractions in Giza.
We are not the kind of people who prefer group tours with a lot of talking, but still it was a good balance and we felt very well taken care of. And by our standards it was luxurious living, and especially on the Nile cruise (M/S Mövenpick Royal Lily) the food was simply outstanding!
The only drawback was the trip from Luxor to Hurghada, where we didn't get any lunch at all (and there's nothing to eat in the desert except for some very expensive small snacks some three hours after leaving Luxor), even though we would have had time to eat before leaving Luxor.

Tour guide Ahmad Faraha is a knowledgeable person and always tries to serve the customer needs. He is very eager to learn you more about the old Egyptian culture by embracing the power of repetition philosophy.
Mena House Resort
The Mena House Resort is one of the best resorts I have seen till today. It service brings out a smile on my face.You can almost touch the pyramids from your room. It service brings out a smile on my face. The resort management have succeeded in creating a resort that combines quality and pleasure. The resort service is excellent. Rooms are very good, spacious and well furbished. In the resort I've used the gym and swimming pool. The gym is equipped with the latest Techno Gym machines, the pool offers you a well deserved space to rest after a day of exploring Egypt.
One little downside are the Internet facilities. Only paid cabled internet in the rooms, no wifi. In the lobby of the resort the wifi was also paid.
Our guide Medhat was fantastic. He truly did everything in his power to make us feel welcome and safe. It was obvious that he loves his job and is passionate about Egyptian history and culture. Due to the second anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution, our tours had to be rearranged at the last minute, but Medhat made sure that we were able to see everything we had planned on seeing and do the activities we wanted to do as well. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and an all-around great guy--he even made extra efforts to engage my not-so-historically-inclined husband's interests.
In spite of the political situation right now, we never once felt threatened or in danger during our trip. I truly hope that more people can look past the media reports and consider traveling to Egypt again.
One point about my booking experience: Although I found my Memphis representative to be helpful and prompt, I felt that she was somewhat unorganized. There were a few errors in initial booking confirmations that then had to be resent a few times. We were also contacted the day before our first tour and told that our tour dates needed to be switched. I said that, due to other bookings, that wasn't possible and was told that it was okay to keep the original tour dates. The next day Medhat gave us the revised itinerary--he hadn't been told that we were going to keep the original schedule. We ended up modifying it after he explained that the changes were because of the threat of protests near Tahrir Square the next day. Had I been told that the day before I would have naturally changed the tour dates. But since no explanation was given I resisted, and it led to (avoidable) confusion later on. The tour representative was also vague about tour start times (despite repeated questions about it) which led to us booking a later start time than was optimal. Although these were just minor issues, I did feel that a bit more organization on the tour representative's part would have made things a little smoother for us.
Overall I was satisfied with Memphis Tours and would consider using them again, as well as recommending them to other Egypt-bound travelers, although I guess which guide you get is the luck of the draw. Personally I would definitely tour with Medhat again, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and everyone else.

memphis tours was a gamble we took on the basis of all the reviews and we were not disappointed at all.It was truly very well organised and superbly coordinated.
Our guide in Cairo emad salem was a encyclopaedia of knowledge and we could only abosrb and wonder at his enthusiasm and hospitality.
We were picked up at the airport and dropped to the airport and in between the 12 days we did not have to worry a bit.
Our guide from luxor to aswan was eid mohammed. because of the slack in tourists due to revolution, the cruise that we were booked in did not have too many guests and voila eid comes all dressed up and makes sure he kept us entertained all throughout the 3 days.
Overall i feel it was the best decision that we took and thank you all at memphis for beautiful memories and a lovely holiday
Nesreen was a wealth of knowledge on all things Egypt. But most importantly she went out of our way to make our tour personal and unforgettable. This included pits stops for fresh dates, sugar cane juice, and a papyrus as an wedding present.
Our driver Kahmel was amazing behind the wheel and during the 2.5 hour drive from Alexandria port to Cairo we felt completely safe. Which is not always easy to achieve in Egypt.
The restaurant that we were taken to for a local meal was fantastic. The food was delicious and Nesreen was kind enough to teach me how to make one of the dishes.
The personal touches that Memphis provides truly make them stand out from other tour companies in Egypt. One example that stands out especially was after emailing Memphis to inquiry about tour price and availability. I received a phone call from the tour manager who had answered my email to follow up and see if he could assist in any other way. There are few tour companies who will call long distance just to check.
I would highly recommend Memphis to anyone looking to have a fantastic time while in Egypt.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Memphis for making Egypt an unforgettable stop on our honeymoon.
