What are you interested in? Everyone travels on the same routes, on the same boats and buses.

The same as bought from the hotel guide. The only difference is the price.
аватар vezha2
Exactly the same as the one bought in the city or from the hotel guide. The routes are the same, the transfer transport is the same, but the difference in prices is significant

As a rule, no one deceives anyone, because tourists are the main form of income. The same goes for comfort and safety. Of course, cases are different, but they are so rare that they can be ignored.

Buy, do not be afraid. I often buy on the beach / in the city, and not only in Egypt, the price is usually lower than the guide.

Once we bought an excursion to Cairo, but they didn’t come for us. In the morning, the seller found us, apologized very much, said that such linings are very rare, returned all the money and offered a very large discount on motorcycle safari as compensation.

It seems not in their interests to deceive, especially if he works on the beach of your hotel, when buying in the city, a small advance payment will save you from deception if you do not trust.

O!! topic to topic!!
like I wrote, but I'll write again ...
Rested on NG in Egypt. In the hotel itself there was a type of office of a local company, they took a tour to the colored canyon from them, I wanted to for a long time, but somehow it didn’t work out. And now, we are waiting for our bus, which will take us to the colored canyon, I have already prepared a camera, I can already see how I will take pictures of all this ....
3 more couples are standing nearby, there is no bus, they began to chat .. the guys from Lithuania go on jeepsafari, the guys from Odessa go to the blue hole to dive from the boat, and the guys from Rivne are going somewhere else ... well, my friend and I are in Tsvetnaya CANYON gathered!!!
And then an 8-seater jeep arrives, in which I, with my height of 1.80, had to crawl almost on all fours and pack us all in one jeep.
Well, I think, now they will take them to the buses and transfer someone where.
But they take a long time, the escort began to drive some kind of blizzard about the tour, about the Bedouins, water, etc.
brought to the gorge, they say, here is the entrance to the canyon (the word Tsvetnoy has already disappeared), they say it’s narrow there and you need to go one by one ...

The guide said that he would go concluding, we all scurried into this "canyon" in single file, we go, we hear, the guide yells uphill, we look, the crevice is over and it seems like the path goes to the side and uphill, well, you never know ... climbed, a view of the sea and the .... standing below the guide, and he is so calm: now go down. This is our canyon. In short, I was pissed off. They put us back in a jeep, they take us to the camels, they put us on this dish ... they drove 100 meters and they say that's it, so you rode the "ships of the desert", then ... I forgot to say that before all this they were taken to one place, where they made me rent wetsuits for $16, saved my vests and fins with masks, because I was going to the canyon, and I am terribly afraid of the depth, I didn’t take it ... so, after the camels, we were again put in a jeep and taken to the place, where divers dive, by that time we, already 4 people, realized that we were thrown !!! Hope still remained with the inhabitants of Odessa and Rovenchan.

Dakhab, why did you throw it? The guides have everything the same, but one and a half times more expensive. We went from the hotel guide to exactly the same place and our excursion to the Colored Canyon was exactly the same. It's just that different tour companies have different names for the same excursions. Colored canyon, jeep safari and a blue hole - everyone is taken to Dahab and walked there.

It takes a long time, but how interesting it is!
came ashore, and then the inhabitants of Odessa began to see clearly, no one is going to immerse anyone, there is no boat, put on torn wetsuits, vests, fins-masks and swim yourself ... Next came the turn of the Rivne residents, they apparently were waiting for a safari on quadrics ... To By this time, the sun had already set behind the mountain, and what a disappointment they were when they were put on quadrics, and we were in a jeep and they stupidly drove for two kilometers, swallowing dust from under the wheels of our jeep ...
Here is a scam arranged for us by a representative of a local travel agency!!!
so my advice is, check everything 100 times, ask other tourists, read the reviews... and by the way, when buying a tour from a hotel guide, you are also not immune from such a divorce, just like you fell for "Moses' baths" .. .
Yes!!! rested in Tiran Beach Resort. So hello Ahmetka! I promised him that I would glorify the whole Internet ...

There were never any problems, they ordered at the market, near the Albatross, normally bargained, three ATVs and four camels, paid 50 dollars for everything. Previously, they also ordered, but another hotel in Cairo, Israel had no problems.
аватар Dakhab
On the left - what was in the prospectus, on the right - where they brought us.
And the photo was taken at the end, when he was shouting to go upstairs.
аватар Dakhab
I'm not saying that everyone is fooling, but I ran into 2 times, the first time with a hotel guide and the second time with a local ...
And just like you, I have many examples of great excursions from locals: Cairo, Mount Moses and the monastery of St. Catherine, Israel, Jordan, boat trips, glass bottom boats, camel rides...
Therefore, I advise you not to dismiss it as a divorce, but also not to believe in the blind, but still at least somehow check.
аватар Alex714
That with these canyons is a standard situation, there are several of them, but they are presented as one, my friends bought the same excursion from different merchants, and took them to different places. I myself did not go on such excursions, since I had seen enough of this in my student years, when I rode on geological practices, it was not interesting.
аватар MP_3_2011
We traveled by three buses: 1 from the hotel guides and 2 "from the street". One road, one queue, the price was almost 3 times different. From each bus, 5-7 people were checked all night at the border, in the morning they made a final decision: several people were not let through, mostly Belarusians. And that's because they need a visa, in my opinion, but they don't get it. So that it is the Ukrainians who were not allowed indiscriminately - for the first time I hear! There are stop indicators that are not missed. For example, you should not go on the last 2-3 days of your trip, you should take a voucher and a copy of your return ticket with you, unmarried single girls are denied. As a result, of those who were checked, but missed, a few people still remained in Israel!
