On some websites, travelers are advised to make visits on their own and not to pay the agency that you have hired, since it is no more dangerous to do so in Egypt than in any other Western country. This is true but we must take into account several aspects: If you do not know the prices well, in the transfers you can be charged as much or more than in the agency, with the difference that the agency is responsible for you and that normally your vehicles are trustworthy, new and prepared for the Western tourism.
How to prepare Egypt Travel Plans? Without knowing the country and its monuments, you can miss many things that you would not miss with a guide. In addition, if your agency's guides are good, the quality of the service and the attention and information received will be much higher than what can be received from anyone who offers to guide you, whether they are official guides or not. Why? Because, normally, good guides have a fixed job and are well paid, but those who are not or do not find work because of the current shortage of tourists, are engaged in attracting tourists to earn some money.
