Top Middle East & Africa Rail Tours

"I loved having the chance to see so many different places in one trip. All guides were very friendly and acknowledged. They explain everything and took the time to answer all our questions."

"Our tour was AMAZING! Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and was able to answer all of the questions we had. The tour was much more than I expected. Lunch was delicious! The guide even stopped at a couple of places to ensure that we had a true Cairo experience. He also recommended more places to visit and was exactly on time. We didn’t have to wait for anything. He had everything pre-planned. We can not thank our driver enough! He definitely made this an experience to remember!"

"Job well done guys! Comfy train, good maroc food, accommodating tour guide and helpful driver… 1 day is not enough to explore Tangier."

"We had the amazing Gashaw as our tour guide and he made us feel like VIPs! He was incredibly knowledgeable and provided a well-balanced day for us to enjoy! I recommend this tour of Addis a 13/10 - an absolutely must if you want to get a true feeling for all the city has to offer!"

"This was a cool experience. The steam train is beautiful! You’re able to go out on the bridge between Zimbabwe and Zambia to view the falls and take picture. The dinner was incredible. I would make sure to spray with big spray before starting out on the train!"

"Visiting Franschhoek region was an amazing experience. Our driver Wilson was very knowledgeable about the history of the wine regions. Riding the tram and tasting the wine at various stops was incredible. I would recommend stopping at Franschhoek cellar to experience their chocolate and wine pairings. The views from Dieu Donne were stunning and lived up to its reputation as 'Worlds Greatest Places' in recent Time magazine. The only disappointing experience was that the restaurant in Haute Cabriere was closed for the day at 3 PM and we had to go hungry without lunch."

"My friend and I have just returned from a trip to Egypt. Neither of us had been there before so we decided to book a tour. We wanted to have a private, customizable tour and booking with Egypt Tours Club was the best decision we made. The entire tour went as smoothly as we could have wanted. From meeting us at the airport, checking us into hotels, making sure we were on the right train, etc. it was fantastic. What made this tour the best (and I would rate it 10 stars if I could) was the tour guides in Cairo - Jimmy and Ahmed. Both of them were totally professional but also friendly, knowledgably, accommodating and funny. We laughed. A lot! Jimmy's knowledge of ancient history was extensive. He answered all our questions and made the history really come alive. I am a bit of an ancient Egypt aficionado and I could see his passion for this - he wasn't just reciting information from a script. He went out of his way for us - like helping me get a SIM card for my phone, stopping at stores, revising times to accommodate us, taking us to places for different Egyptian food. The traffic in Cairo was insanely crazy. Ahmed was the most fantastic driver. I felt totally safe when he drove us through the streets. He, also, was so accommodating to us. I think they are the best tour guides in Egypt! If (when) I return I will book with them again. I recommend that you do as well."

"We loved so much to do this adventure with Middle East Tours !! Said Kamal (tour manager I think) was so awesome with us, he asked every day how the trip was going, if we needed something, he was very supportive and helpful during all the trip until we get back on the plane again to Portugal :) He even changed some things at our request, like transports (we upgraded the transport from Hurghada to Cairo by plane instead of bus), visits schedule, etc. There was everytime someone waiting for us in all the places we arrived, Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, Hurghada, to pick us up and drop us at the Hotels. Me and my girlfriend went to Egypt and we already knew that maybe it would be great, but this experience really overcome our expectations, it was so so so so amazing ! All the monuments, museums, and the Nile Cruise was absolutely one of the high points of the journey. At the begging we didn't want to do it because my girlfriend has seasickness and gets nausea when on a boat, but this is like a floating hotel, you don't have waves on the river and you can't know if the boat is going trough the Nile or if it's stopped. All the monuments were so incredible, the guides were awesome and really knows so much things about ancient Egypt. It makes all the difference if you go by yourself or with a guide, all the little details and stories about things told by our guides makes all the experience even greater ! You almost can feel that the ancient Egyptians are near you at some places you visit :D And by the way, it was one of the cheapest tours that we find on Viator, with this amount of days and places to visit. We totally recommend this tour for everyone who wants to visit cultural and historical places and at the end relax a little bit on the Red Sea before returning home :D really really awesome !!!!!

"We were picked up at the hotel on time and taken on a great tour of Modern Dubai, the guide was very knowledgeable, we saw so much , Atlantis Hotel The Palm,Dubai Marina, Burj Kalifa,Ski Dubai to name but a few. We would not have been able to take in all the sights in such a short timescale, and as always dropped off safely at the hotel, no hassle."

"Great experience great guides fun day all around 10 star review all the way this is a must do tour if you are in Egypt, do not miss it. Train ride was fun. Luxor is one of the most in place artifacts I have ever seen."

"The tour was amazing, specially the first day in Luxor. Our guide was above and beyond expectations: knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and always willing to help and to give us the best experience."

"What an amazing evening at Victoria Falls! We were picked up at our Lodge in good time for the departure and were greeted with a cold drink. We were actually the only passengers on the train on this occasion but we still had a running commentary as we journeyed into the wilderness. Moses, our train driver, kept an eye open for wildlife and stopped whenever he spotted some. On the way back, we stopped for surprise refreshments and we watched the sun go down in the middle of nowhere. Sheer heaven. How did Moses turn the train around when we weren't looking? Only one way to find out!"

"Karim, the operator of the tour was in constant communication. He was able to accomodate train tickets with a late return the next day since I stayed overnight for another day excursion. Majid, was my tour guide and he could not have been anymore well versed in Moroccan history and culture. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to ride a camel on the beach. Karim really customised this tour for my wants and needs. Highly recommended!"

"We really enjoyed the places we visited sndde explanations about them where rrally clear and complete, the guide was very good"
