Among the most secured countries that you can visit and you will enjoy a lot with your family & friends is the amazing country, Egypt which is filled with unrivaled ancient monuments and attractions with the most magnificent coastal beaches to enjoy as never before.

You can simply now learn any language you want online and that is how you will be busy with something really adorable to you and you will feel that you are really a successful person once you get the ability to communicate with other people in different languages.

You will feel that you are really enjoying while doing something really important to you so that way you will doing something good to yourself.

4- Taste Some Different Delicious Food

We have all learned while facing COVID-19 that we are missing the good part of life. We are always during the whole time with the life staff, work, children, and all similar things without giving ourselves the chance to relax and do new things. Among the best new things to try is new food. You may like a specific type of food but how you may know that other food tastes delicious without tasting it!! You can experience such an interesting thing by heading to different places and taste their traditional food. You can of course check the ingredients of each dish you are about to try first and then feel free to try whatever you want.

5- Look after yourself

It is really an important thing to look after yourself. There are specific things that you can do in order not to get overwhelmed or stressed or even to get isolated. COVID-19 pandemic has been a tough exam we have been through. Some of us succeeded to get over it with good mental & physical health but others got infected and from this point, you need to promise yourself that you will do your best to be able to face any kind of problems in the future whatever happens.

Try to treat yourself, respect all the efforts you do daily to get progressed, get moving through taking part in ant Physical activities, do the things you like and never allow others to prevent you as life is too short to waste in doing boring stuff. Last but not least, you need t build on your strengths and you can do so through focusing on the things you can do & accomplish in a successful way and then try your best to find a motivation to keep developing yourself to be the best in the things you like, this is how life goes on, never get depressed and say that you can’t as you definitely can.

6- Buy New Clothes

Shopping is one of the most adorable things that have the ability to change one’s mood and that is why it is highly recommended to get out with the people you like and care of to enjoy a shopping tour through which you can buy different items, clothes, footwear, and similar things. It is going to be a terrific thing if you decided to change your style with more different and interesting things. You will get really happy after that and you will feel like you have changed some things about your life. It is an important thing to do the best you can to get rid of the negative energy you have got during COVID-19 lockdown and now you have the best chance to change some things about your old life, this how you will live your life in the best way.

7- Start A New Hobby

To follow such a step, you need to check first the things that you are interested in and try to find things that are similar to them or new things that may appeal to you. Among the highly recommended activities that you can check during such time, you can read new books to live the different adventures & stories that exist in each book. If you can, try to get some sewing course and you will find that this is one of the most interesting hobbies you can enjoy ever in life especially after seeing the result of your work in front of you after accomplishing it. It differs from a person to another based on the interests of each one but what we would like to say is what finding new hobbies will teach you lots of things in life and will make you happy during the whole time.

8- Enjoy A Family Gathering

When the word family is mentioned at any time, you will automatically get the feeling of being safe, beloved, and secured against anything in the world. Nothing is more important than feeling the people around you really care for you and always want you to be safe & happy, this is actually what the word family is all about. Why your family matter??? Because they provide you with the Physical & emotional needs during the whole time, always provide you with the necessary support you need to get improved, provide the ultimate protection, offer the best guidance in the whole areas of life to see you always in the top.

They teach you good values during the whole life even after you grow up and become a parent; they will keep seeing you as their young child who always needs someone to care of. So with a family gathering, you can get your brothers, sisters, parents, and grandparents, other relatives, together to exchange speech and spend some lovely time together. This will be with no doubt a great thing to overcome such a terrible experience of COVID-19 pandemic.

9- Get Out with Your Friends

We can’t even mention how important friends are in one’s life. Friends can make the worst in life, a really funny thing to laugh at and there have been many studies that proved that in case you have solid friendships in your life that will help you to promote your brain health and to be able to deal with any kind of stress & obstacles. We can say aloud that friends make life easier and friendship is equally important to the mental health of anyone so meet your friends, go out with them, sing aloud, take lots of amazing pictures, and have fun.

10- Get A Pet

The most important thing about pets is that they provide us with companionships and with emotional support. While having a pet at your house, you will feel that you are having a child with you that is growing up in front of your eyes and play with you. You will put all of your interest in that pet and that will assist you to avoid any stress and you will never feel like being alone.

11- Learn Yoga

Many doctors around the world have admitted that when yoga is incorporated with meditation & breathing lessons, it provides such a huge importance in improving the mental well-being of any person and to get rid of any stress. When you do yoga, you will get mental clarity & calmness, relax your mind, increase your body awareness, sharpen your concentration, and get lots of other benefits that you need to check yourself while doing yoga.

12- Go for Adventurous Activities

Some people love to stick with what is classic and traditional. They may be afraid of doing dangerous things or even try new things but from our position we highly recommend trying some adventurous activities that will change your way of life, your traditions, open new horizons after your eyes, and assist you in exploring the whole world around you. Among the most exciting adventurous activities that we recommend are snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, skiing, mountain climbing, biking, parasailing, and similar things that may be matching with your interests.

13- Start Talking with Your Family Members

You may have lots of people around you at your house but you probably haven’t talked with any of them regarding any of the things that annoy you before. It is now the perfect time to start working on strengthening the family relationships between the members of your family through talking together and let them know the reason of being so stressed, what are the main things that annoy you, how you can renew your relationships with the ones who live with you. You can start with hugging them and let them feel your deep affection. It is going to be a good start through successful relations.

14- Be Happy and Safe

Life has appeared to be so short to be spent in a miserable state and to live everyday similar to the day before or after. Make use of every day you get and put in mind that it is Allah’s gift upon you to have another chance in life with everyday you wake up in a good health and with everything you take a breath without needing medicine. Do whatever you want but stay safe and secured as enjoying life doesn’t mean at all to put your life or others’ lives in danger.

15- Plan A Weekly Picnic with the Ones You Love

You may be a really busy person and that you have lots of things to do every day, you may not have any free time to spend with your family but you will find yourself getting so exhausted and that you aren’t spending any fun time that is why we recommend planning a weekly picnic through which you can enjoy the beauty of nature around you, spend some time with your family, see new people, head to different places and this is the best chance to get rid of the negative effects left upon us after such a pandemic.

16- Listen to A Different Type of Music

Music has the ability to fend off depression, lower levels of stress, improve blood flow, change the mood, and get refreshed so you can listen to different types of music with also different languages o that you find the most appealing type for you.

17- Watch Different Kinds of Movies

For absolute fun, you can prepare popcorn and gather the ones you like to watch the movie together either online or on TV.

18- Learn Different Computer Skills

All of our lives depend nowadays on technology and developmental computer skills. It is going to be a really interesting thing to find your passion for learning such progressed skills to develop yourself and to be able to prove your efficiency in such a field.

19- Improve Yourself to Be A Better Person

Each one of us knows his/her strengths and weaknesses, we know what we can and what we can’t perform, we know what we can face and what we definitely can’t so it is now the perfect chance to all things together and see what you should do to be a much better person. Try to dig deep inside you and be totally honest with yourself to reach the highest level of efficiency and fairness with yourself. It all depends upon you and no one else so take the decision and go for it.

20- Look After Your Health and Your Body

No one will ever look after your health & body like you as you are the only one who knows what you are suffering from and what needs to be cared for. Start writing your priorities and your list should include the following points to look after:

Have a vision test.
Check your weight.
Have a Blood test.
Get a Physical test.
Start eating healthy food.
Go to a dentist and check your teeth.
Volunteer some of your blood.
Drink lots of water every day.
Reduce the amount of sugar and salt at your food.
Drink fresh juices with no sugar.
So some exercises.
Go to the countryside to enjoy the beauty of nature.
Go to the beach and do some water sport.

22- Don’t Be Afraid to Ask For Help

Who can say that he/she doesn’t need help in life?? We all need help in different fields in life from different people around us, and in different ways that is why never get afraid to ask for help from the others around you as they can give you a hand to pass any difficult situation but if you decided to keep silent and not sharing your problems with others, you may get so depressed and you won’t be able to confront the obstacles of life in a good way.

23- Stay Connected with the Others

Don’t isolate yourself from the others imagining that you are protecting them from your negative energy or something like that as this is definitely untrue. By sharing the others your thoughts and stay connected with them, you will get so much relieved and you will find a solution to your issues much faster. Get people around you to ask you when they don’t find you; get people who care for you to be that you are alive. COVID-19 has kept us away from the ones we love but now we can get in connect with them again.

24- Don’t Let Your Fear Become A Pandemic, Too

You will see happiness in the eyes of people around you, and get bless of their prayers for you so it is going to have so many benefits over your mental and physical health.

26- Don’t Listen to Others’ Rumors

People simply never stop saying rumors and wrong things to get attention or to cause the fear of the others so you should never listen to anyone who always mentions the negative things. Trust only in the trusted sites & channels that mention news to get the accurate information you need and that is so important to keep your mental & physical health safe.

"We had a great experience touring Aswan, Edfu, and Luxor with Mahmoud. I would highly recommend him as a guide. He adapted to our needs (2 teenagers) and kept everything interesting. He was always prompt, professional, and easy to communicate with. He was also very prompt answering questions via WhatsApp"

Estelle V

"We would like to share our wonderful experience with Egypt Tours Portal. From the very first quote to our final airport drop-off, we were impressed by the professionalism, organization, and excellent communication from Walaa and the entire team. Our tour guides in both Luxor (“Habibi” was the best!) and Cairo were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and passionate about sharing Egypt’s history and treasures with us. We especially appreciated how thoughtfully the itinerary was planned — allowing us time to rest in the afternoons, scheduling visits during the cooler hours, and remaining flexible to accommodate our needs. Everything was smooth, well-organized, and made our trip truly memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend Egypt Tours Portal to anyone looking to discover the incredible history, culture, and wonders Egypt has to offer."

Tim K

"We had an outstanding time touring Luxor with our guide, Essra. She was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly kind throughout the entire experience. Her explanations of Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon brought Egypt's history to life. What really set her apart was her thoughtfulness. She made sure we stayed comfortable in the heat, surprising us with water and refreshments. She also took us to an excellent local restaurant that we never would have found on our own. Her attention to detail, genuine care, and passion for sharing Egypt made this one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting Luxor. On another note, the drivers we had each day were great. So professional, always on time and personable."

"We had a great vacation. Omar Haridi did our Nile Cruise and Zizi did our Cairo tour. They were amazing and very knowledgeable."

Mira F

"The best experience of my lifetime! Nour, the tour guide was absolutely amazing! Went over and beyond thinking about every little thing. I had a mishap and Egypt Air overbooked my flight and bumped me to a later flight causing me to miss an entire day of activities. Nour made sure I got to do every single thing I missed that first day. But that’s not all: his knowledge of old Egypt is unparalleled, he truly brings Egypt (Aswan Luxor) alive. I’ve traveled all over the world and met many tour guides: Nour stands apart from all of them. He’s also considerate, caring and genuinely wants his guests to enjoy the trip and learn the most about the incredible history of Egypt. He’s also funny and genuinely great to be around. Please, do yourself a favor when booking a trip in Upper Egypt and ask for Nour. Hands down the best guide ever!"

"Excellent guide Mr Mohamed Osman, who was incredibly knowledgeable and very informative. Couldn't ask for more. Food on day 1 was ok, but much better at lunch on day 2. Hotel was excellent. Also our driver was excellent. All in all a great experience. Would highly recommend."

Marianna A

"Our experience in Egypt, especially in Luxor and Aswan, was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide Omar. We cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and deeply passionate about Egyptian history and culture. What made our tour extraordinary was that our guide is not only a master’s in Egyptology but is also currently pursuing a PhD in Egyptology. His depth of knowledge was absolutely remarkable. He is also very creative and artistic. Every temple, tomb, monument, and historical site came alive through his explanations. He did not simply recite facts, he explained the historical context, symbolism, religious beliefs, architecture, and fascinating stories behind everything we saw. It truly felt like we were traveling through ancient Egypt with a real scholar and expert by our side. He brought ancient Egyptian history to life by assigning us the roles of Egyptian gods and legendary heroes. Through these interactive mini-plays, we were able to experience, understand, and truly connect with the stories he shared. In Luxor, visiting Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and Hatshepsut Temple became an unforgettable educational and emotional experience because of the way he explained the history in such an engaging and easy-to-understand manner. In Aswan, his insights about Philae Temple, Nubian history, and ancient Egyptian civilization added so much depth to our trip. He answered every question thoughtfully and with incredible detail, and you could genuinely feel his passion for Egyptology. Beyond his academic expertise, he was one of the kindest and most caring people we met during our travels. He constantly made sure we were comfortable, safe, hydrated, and enjoying ourselves. He was patient, attentive, organized, and always willing to help with anything we needed. His warm personality and kindness made us feel welcomed not just as tourists, but as friends. He also paced the tours perfectly, allowing us enough time to truly appreciate each site without ever feeling rushed. His professionalism, friendliness, and genuine care created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the trip. Thanks to him, our visit to Egypt became far more than a vacation. It became an unforgettable journey into history and culture. If you are planning to visit Luxor, Aswan, or anywhere in Egypt, choosing this guide will be one of the best decisions you can make. He is truly exceptional, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had him as our guide. Thank you again for such an amazing experience. We will never forget it. Marianna and Khris"

"This has been a tour agency and guides I can’t wait to give a glowing review to and to recommend to friends and family. Both Riham and Walid were happy to help coordinate excursions and share a wealth of knowledge. 10/10 experience"

H D

"We had a wonderful experience with the 5 day cruise. The price is wry reasonable. The best part is that the visits are done in very small numbers with a guide. It is almost like having a private guide. The food was good with lots of variety and all the staff members are very friendly and helpful. Omar Haradi, our guide was very knowledgeable and very generous with his time and with sharing his knowledge."

"We just returned home from an incredible trip to Egypt, and we cannot say enough good things about Egypt Tours. From the moment we booked our trip until the day we flew home, their communication, organization, and attention to detail were outstanding. Our adventure began in Cairo, where we were warmly welcomed at the airport by our guide, Abdulrahman Mosbah. He immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease, and our Nile River sunset cruise was the perfect introduction to Egypt. Abdul’s warm personality and infectious enthusiasm made our first day both fun and memorable. The following day, we toured with Reda Elgendy, who brought the pyramids to life with fascinating stories and historical insights. Seeing the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) was truly breathtaking and a highlight of our time in Cairo. In Aswan, we were greeted at the airport by Ahmed Haggag, who guided us over the next two days. Ahmed was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough in his explanations, and always kept us entertained with his great sense of humor. We learned so much while enjoying every moment of our time with him. Our final stop was Luxor, where we met Ghada Kamel. Saving the best for last, Ghada was absolutely exceptional. Her passion for Egypt’s history and culture made our visits to the temples and the Valley of the Kings unforgettable. She was engaging, informative, and truly outstanding. This trip exceeded all of our expectations. Not only did we experience some of the world’s most amazing historical sites, but each of our guides also shared valuable insights into Egyptian culture and daily life. We returned home with wonderful memories, a deeper appreciation for Egypt, and gratitude for the amazing team at Egypt Tours. We highly recommend Egypt Tours to anyone planning a trip to Egypt. It was truly the trip of a lifetime!"

Alejandro M

"We loved it, great experience and treatment. Our guide Noah had great knowledge of the subject. Thank you very much."

Jeff T

"Our trip in May 2026 was fantastic! We saw all the major wonders of Egypt! Our incredibly knowledgeable guide Walid Ahmed met us at the hotel and was great at explaining all the particular uniqueness of each tomb and temple, inserting background myths and stories, keeping our tour on track, taking and sharing so many pictures so we could be in them as a couple and helping us navigate local customs. We strongly recommend Egypt, the tour and Walid!"

Joe P

"We had a wonderful week long vacation in Egypt, split between Cairo and Luxor. The tour was very professionally run with excellent communication starting weeks before our arrival and then nearly daily while in Egypt. A highlight was our English-speaking guide in Luxor, Walid Ahmed, who was extremely knowledgeable and exceptionally kind. The tour was flexible and accommodating, allowing last minute special detours and restaurant choices. Overall, it was one of the best vacations of our life."

Damien B

"We had Ahmed Refaat as our family guide in Cairo, and he truly made our trip to Egypt unforgettable. His positive attitude, passion for Egypt’s history and culture, and incredible patience made all the difference throughout our stay in Cairo. Ahmed brought every site to life with fascinating explanations and was always attentive to our needs, making the experience enjoyable for both adults and children. We especially recommend him for visits to Saqqara and the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), where his deep knowledge and enthusiasm greatly enhanced our understanding and appreciation of these extraordinary places. Without any hesitation, we highly recommend Ahmed Refaat to anyone visiting Egypt. Thank you again for helping create such wonderful memories for our family!"
