Great guides, great countries. Never imagined that Jordan is so magical. I really really really loved it. I and my girlfriends went on this trip alone. Traveling with Memphis was very safe for us.

A must go
Charlotte M., 2/17/22

They took care of us from the time we arrived to the time we left. No time did we feel that we were left to fend for ourselves. The kids had so much fun and we took many pictures. The food in Egypt was very very delicious.

“My Best Vacation Ever”
Dan G, 2/20/14
We just got back from an amazing trip to Egypt. Mohamed A. from Memphis Tours took excellant care of every trip detail. Each transfer from airport, bus, and boat Mohamed A. was there to make sure everything was in proper order. In fact we were supplied a phone and Mohamed called each day to ask how everything was going. We were so impressed with the trip I am trying to talk friends, family, and co-workers in visiting Egypt and using Memphis to book their trip. Some folks that I know were apprehensive that I was visiting Egypt and I have not been on a trip that was so worry free. I felt safer in Egypt than I do my own country, the U.S.

“Absolutely Amazing”
Mariam, 2/4/13
Me and my sister visited Jordan and just got back about 4 days ago.This trip was absolutely amazing and the sites were spectacular. We contacted Eman Rashad from Memphis tours to sort out our tour she was fantastic, her communication and understanding of everything made us feel at ease and more comfortable and I would recommend her to anyone as she was amazing and I thank her for such an amazing experience. Jordan is a beautiful country and I recommend everyone to visit it one day..:)

“Awesome time in Egypt”
Giancarlo Bonansea, 1/29/13
We hired Memphis Tours for our dream vacation in Egypt on the first two weeks of January 2013 - myself, my wife and my daughter always had the dream of diving into the Ancient Egypt culture and this was the perfect opportunity. Despite everything that is being told by the international media, we found a beautiful, nice and calm country - I'm not saying that the media is wrong or lying but for sure they're exaggerating a lot and creating news over a few incidents. We didn't see danger at any place and Memphis Tours personnel took care of us at all times - you can confidently travel to Egypt on their hands.

We started in Cairo, went to the Great Pyramids, Saqqara, Churches, Mosques, Cairo Museum, Khan El Khalili Bazaar and it was incredible. We missed the tour to Alexandria as my daughter was not feeling good in that day - Memphis Tour guides promptly proposed new options that would be safe and would not break the trip. Then we boarded into a Nile River Cruise on the Sonesta Moon Goddess cruiseship, very nice one, and we sailed from Luxor until Aswan - during the cruise we visited Luxor and Karnak temples, Valley of the Kings, Hatsepsut temple, Colossi of Memnon, Kom Ombo temple, Philae temple, a Nubian Village, the Aswan High-Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk and Abu-Simbel temples.

We were so pleased that we also extended our journey to include a little bit of Jordan (Amman, Madaba, Dead Sea and Petra) also with Memphis Tours.

At the end, it was a perfect vacation - my family was very pleased with the amazing experience and how Egyptians were so kind and professionals. Highly organized, I cannot mention a single flaw in their work, even if I try hard to find...

I would like to mention the ones that were responsible to make this journey to happen:
1) Our tour manager - Mohamed
2) Our Cairo guide - Medhat Mahmoud Abd El azeem - special thanks to Medhat, who payed special attention to my daughter when she became ill - and also to his family that came to visit us in the hotel
3) Our Cairo driver - Hamdi
4) Our Nile Cruise guide - Ahmed Amine - very informative and also payed special attention to my daughter
5) Our Jordan guide - Mahmoud

For sure there were other people involved that either I do not recall their names or I did not met in person, but all of them deserve our congratulations!

Egypt & Jordan Exploration
Phillip, 10/7/12
 Our family (me my wife, and daughter-aged 16) recently visited Egypt and Jordan with a Memphis tour. From start to finish the tour, the people of Egypt and Jordan, and the service provided by Memphis was exceptional. Memphis worked closely to plan and deliver a perfect tour. Mr Younis, from Memphis, tailored everything to our greatest expectation and provided expert guidance. While in Egypt, despite what we often read in the recent press, we found the People of Egypt to be friendly and genuine. The accomodations, tours, and most imprtantly the quality of the guides were unmatched. We toured Cairo, Aswan, took a Nile Cruise, visited the Sinai (to include a dive excursion), visited Amman, and Petra. Memphis employed true Egyptologists who made history come alive, did so in an engaging fashion, and shared personal and cultural experiences that made our trip like being with family. All accomodations and arrangements were first class and everything worked like clockwork and as promised. We cannot say enough about Memphis. My family is a well travelled, worldly bunch and without hesitation must say that Memphis is THE tour operator to book. Highly recommend them for anyone's dream vacation.

Great experience with the planning of our trip
Nicole, 2/20/12
Despite the turmoil going on in Egypt, we decided to go anyway - the country can probably use all the tourists that can get right now! We first began working with Mohamed and then Mawra Samir. Both have been so helpful and accommodating - we gave them a list of places we wanted to see, even some hard to get to spots like Dendera, and they were able to design an amazing tour of Egypt and Jordan for us that was very reasonably priced. We will be traveling at the end of June 2012 and I'm confident that if the service we have received so far from Mephis Tours is any indication, our trip will be incredible!

unmistakable vacation
myoeminn, 2/19/12
We have been reluctant to go to Egypt & Jordan in 2011 but finally we could not wait anymore and made it happen with Memphis tour since all USA tours keep cancelling for security reasons. We are really glad we made it finally. It was amazing trip to witness first civilized area of human beings. Cairo and all tourist attraction areas are safe and secure. Our first credit goes to Manager Mr Mohammed Fayez, who arranged everything in detail as American way and made them happen without a glitch. Although I never met him in person, my appreciations for him is enormous. Memphis tour guides from Cairo, Mohammed Baseer, and Ahmed Hussein from Sham-El Sheikh, are very good and punctual. Local guide Ms Maha was perfect and friendly Driver Ahmed is unforgettable. Raed from Amman is good too.
Other than experiencing and witnessing fantastic & unbelievable monuments and structures of Great Egypt, and friendly Jordan, we are very happy to meet a lot of new people from different world and became friends.
Whoever thinking of visiting Middle East, Memphis tour should be the first place to check with since it can find right length of stay, reasonable cost and fulfill all you need. I could now recommend to all my friends and colleagues to visit Egypt, Jordan and Israel with Memphis tour and not to worry about anything else.

It was absolutly brilliant; a holiday of a lifetime - I would recommend this company to anyone
Lester Bath, 2/6/12
My daughter and I visited both Egypt and Jordan, and Memphis Tours amended the trip to take in sites she particularly wanted to visit. Any company can score well when everything goes all right but Memphis were brilliant when things went wrong on a couple of oocasions; finding a room for me for an afternoon when I was not well (free of charge) and upgrading us at no cost when we were unhappy with one hotel. Both the tour reps and the guides were excellent. Both of us agree we would certainly use them again and I have already recommeded them to a couple of people who are thinking of holidaying in Egypt.

Memphis Tours and Egypt the best
Chris, 8/21/11
 Memphis Tours are a top company. We were dubious at first though after Triper Advisor reviews decided to go ahead, now all I can do is rave how good the Tour Company is..
We changed our plans mid trip to go to Petra (Jordan) and our flights, etc. were arranged within 24 hrs with the same excellent service we had in Egypt. Thanks Mohammed Mido in Cairo and Mustafe Osman in Aswan . One tip....don't take the overnight train from Cairo to Aswan, for a few dollars more fly.....you'll thank me for that.

egypt and jordan
Galina and Alex Podolsky, 5/9/10
We just came home from Egypt and Jordan. Everything was organized by MemphisTtours Egyptian agency. I can highly recommend it to everybody. Beginning with scheduling the tour from NY USA we had a grate help from Mr. Faez who called us and E-mailed to us informing about everything and changing what we want . And the whole tour was a great success. We were always met and escorted, the guides were wonderful especially Mr Ashraf Abdel McSaid in Cairo. His knowlage about Egyptian history was great. In Luxor our guide Said was also very good as well as all the service in Jordan. Some hotels were not so great but they can always be changed.
Thank you very much Memphis Tour and we will be back

Egypt, Jordan and Beyond the Dead Sea
Frank and Linda Dello Stritto, 11/22/09
Memphis Tours designed and organized an incredible tour of Egypt and Jordan. Our contact for this tour was Ahmed Fayez who made the reservations and tours for our trip online, it was so easy! Both my husband and I had a wonderful time and an experience we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

From beginning to end there was a professional tour leader or guide to meet us at the airport for transfer to the next destination. Mohsen our Egypt tour leader in Cairo was extremely efficient and personable and we felt comfortable with him handling all our details while we were in Egypt. It was reassuring to find that he had our Visas in hand upon arrival in Cairo. Ahmed our Cairo tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable- from him we learned a great deal about the architecture and the history of Egypt.

Khaled, our tour coordinator and driver in Jordan was great too. He met us at the airport in Amman. He spoke about the music, food, language and culture of Jordan and he also arranged for some informative guides to show us around the key sites. We felt very comfortable with his navigation of the high mountain roads. He provided us too with cds with music from this region.

We would also like to mention that we were upgraded to a senator suite on the Sonesta Sun Goddess for our cruise on the Nile,which gave us beautiful views of the Nile and exceptional service. We were also upgraded in our hotels in Jordan which was totally unexpected!

Memphis Tours are Fantastic
Gerald and Karin Saltman, 11/21/09
My wife and I used Memphis Tours for our vacation( November 9-20 November 2009) to Egypt and Petra in Jordan. We are very seasoned travellers and must say that Memphis Tours were just fantastic. We booked on the internet and Ahmed Fayez handled everything very professionally and very quickly. He tailor made our itinerary to suit our needs and the itinerary was excellent. Then when we arrived in Cairo we were met by our Tour Leader from Memphis Tours, Mohammed Hassan El Yamany. Mohammed was also fantastic; he did just about everything for us making it all so easy and relaxing. Arrangements were all on time and they thought of every detail. Even giving us a mobile phone when we arrived in Cairo so we could stay in contact. We can highly recommend Memphis Tours and they gave us great service and excellent value. Also, they are very nice people to deal with. We will certainly recommend Memphis Tours to all our friends. What a great Company they are; our sincere thanks to you all .
