About WOW Travel Service
We have been running tours in Egypt since 2008 — from a half-day boat trip to a nationwide tour for a group. Expert guides, trusted transport and payment on the day.
The Egypt we love to show
WOW Travel Service is a team that has been showing Egypt to travellers for more than fifteen years. We live here and work in Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh and Marsa Alam, and we know the country beyond the brochures: which temple is best seen in the morning, which island has the clearest water and where to have a lunch you will remember.
Travellers choose us for simple reasons: fair prices without street-agency mark-ups, payment on the day of the tour, and real people in the messenger who answer questions at any time.
Guides worth listening to
On private tours you travel with qualified Egyptologist guides with more than ten years of experience. They don’t recite a memorised script — they tell the story so that adults and children alike listen, and along the way they will tell you what to buy at the bazaar and how not to overpay.
Our standard group tours run with trusted local operators: you join the same group as the hotel rep’s guests, but pay noticeably less. From time to time our team joins tours incognito to make sure everything is still WOW.
Our own vehicles and trusted boats
For private trips we use modern Toyota minibuses, minivans and air-conditioned cars, and comfortable coaches for large groups. We book yachts and boats directly with their owners, with no middlemen, so we know every vessel and every captain.
Peace of mind from start to finish
Booking costs nothing: no prepayment, you pay on the day. We pick you up at your hotel and bring you back, travellers are insured, and the confirmation and all the details arrive in the messenger you prefer — WhatsApp or Telegram. If your plans change, just send us a message.

Guest reviews
All reviewsWe went to Giza from Hurghada, visiting the Cairo museum and, of course, the pyramids. A great experience! Many thanks for a wonderful excursion. Our historian guide, Ibrahim, was fascinating to listen to and answered all our questions. The drivers were very courteous, and the hours on the road flew by. We loved everything!
My friends and I had been planning a trip to Egypt for ages but kept putting it off — then it finally happened: cheap tickets and we all managed to get time off. Museums aren't really our thing; we wanted to see as many ancient sites as possible in one go, so we chose this tour. It's a real shame the pyramids at Dahshur and Saqqara aren't as well known — we found them even more interesting.
I'd been to Cairo several times, but only on group tours, and realised I'd missed a lot. The City of the Dead and Garbage City sound so daunting, but I took the plunge — and it was fascinating, and with a guide it felt perfectly safe. The locals do look at tourists, but from a distance and with curiosity. Special thanks to Said for organising it: we spent a long time discussing the programme before settling on this one.
Thanks to our guide, I haggled for the first time in my life and even got a good discount! Even in Hurghada, where I often holiday, I always paid whatever the sellers asked. And this was Cairo! I know local food well, so I kept it simple with kebab, rice and soup in a nice little local restaurant — you certainly don't get food like that at the hotel. As for Garbage City... I'd read about it and seen photos online, but I wasn't quite ready for the reality. Amazing! If rubbish were recycled like that everywhere, our planet would be much cleaner.
I got back from Cairo yesterday, where I had the chance to visit Garbage City, or Manshiyat Naser in Arabic. It left a lasting impression on me. At first I was a bit shocked by the amount of rubbish, but then I saw how skilfully the local residents, the Zabbaleen, sort and recycle the waste. I did decline to try sorting it myself, though)
The tour exceeded our expectations! We walked the streets of Cairo and felt like locals. Cairo is a fascinating city — thanks to Said for organising it all. We'll be in touch next time; we're planning to visit Fayoum and the waterfalls.
