Much cheaper in the city! BUT there is no insurance! The only + to take from the guides in the hotel is that there is insurance!!!!

Better and safer to take from the guides! They will tell you all the excursions and their cost! Go to Jerusalem, Jordan, to St. Catherine's temple, and quad bikes (very cool). Have a nice holiday

Be sure to take the guide. More expensive by $ 5-10, but the tour is in Russian and there is insurance. Mount Moses is also interesting, but very tiring.

I would not say that the guides are only $ 5-10 more expensive ... Well, a simple example: Cairo. The guide had $70, we bought in the city for $45. We had a great trip... And we had insurance. All the same. I was 2 times in Egypt, went on many excursions, bought them ONLY in the city and everything is wonderful. It's all prejudice. Take it in the city. The quality is not inferior, and the price is an order of magnitude less ...
I agree with luydmila only that the mountain of Moses is a drop dead tour!!! Worth a trip, but the physical load is unreal...

In the city, of course, it is cheaper, but who checked whether insurance is valid with this purchase or not?
On vacation in a foreign country, in my opinion, it’s not worth the risk, especially since the drivers of Egypt drive like one, when returning from Mount Moses, my ears just lay on bends, they don’t have the habit of slowing down on a turn.
Of course, you decide, we did not risk it and bought excursions from guides, we did not regret at all.

Here's how lucky. Of course, representatives of the tour operator are much more expensive. It is much cheaper to buy excursions in the city, but there is a risk that not all of the promised will be. We had this with a quad bike tour to the Bedouins. He promised a lot of things, in fact, there was nothing except for ATVs: no dinner at the Bedouins, no sunset, and they barely pulled out their change.

If we talk about inexpensive excursions for the time being, then with hotel guides they are more expensive by $ 5-10, and if about Jerusalem, Jordan, Cairo, Mount Moses (by the way, during Lent, the monastery of St. Catherine is mostly closed, but the guides are silent about this ) - the difference is significant in price, but in quality - there is no difference !!!!!!

It is best to take excursions from guides, it is much safer and everything is true about insurance, that it does not apply if you take excursions in the city

we took a tour at the hotel with a guide, as a result we were forgotten in the Cairo Museum. We got to the pyramids ourselves. We returned to Sharm on our own. Do you think they returned something to us? The guide didn’t even explain to us for what reason it happened. departure.
so do not overpay for excursions with a guide. all the same, no guarantees.

Dear East, it's a delicate matter! Item 1: Read your insurance policy (purchases in a travel agency) - in 90% of cases - excursions and how he - DROPPED you? - What are your rights ???? Tell me less, please!
Item 3: In recent years, we have seen many programs and our and Russian TV about the great tragedies in Egypt with tourists from the former Soviet Union and what ??? What liability or compensation?

All of them respected that they were "INSURED" and in fact all of them --- "INSURED" The lawsuits have been going on for years, and the WHO is still there!
Summary: How can you dream of "THAT EVERYTHING IS GOOD" - buy everything from GUIDES, GUIDES and others.
very often excursions with GUIDES are just "black cash "
with the driver-owner of beads

If you have a good tour operator, then the guides there are more competent and generally more reliable with large tour operators!
If you take excursions in the city - stock up on copies of both passports - foreign and your own, money and knowledge of English .... or German. This is just in case.
And in general, being in a foreign country is better not to yawn. You can relax in the hotel - by the pool =) Good luck to everyone
