Review Time
I had a lovely time with Tour Tribe. I always get nervous travelling alone but this is a caring team and I did not feel alone at all. In fact, I made several good friends. My room mate was a wonderful woman and the transfer guide, Omar was amazing as he was standing immediately at the exit and helped me get a SIM and to exchange money.
The cars we had, the trips we did and especially the food - everything was top quality. I really enjoyed the food. They choose the restaurants very well and don't cut corners. I felt part of a family and look forward to more trips..highly recommend Tour Tribe. Really good for single people like me especially.
Where do l even begin with this one?! Tour Tribe certainly lack experience & skills required to run a travel company. All the reviews by the fellow travellers that visited Egypt in Jan 2026 were honest about everything encountered as l had witnessed the same shambolic experience first hand. Tour Tribe can deflect as much as they like, but how many from the 9 ladies that travelled on this tour would go with them again, no more than 1. That is telling in itself.
Just a quick one to say really impressed with these guys. Very helpful, great guides, great hotels, fab communication and food was delicious. The whole group had an amazing time but the highlight for Jordan has to be the jeep safari and desert stay. Can’t wait for the China halal tour in September. Thanks Ghazala
I would not recommend Tour Tribe Ltd. Found it to be disorganised, mismanaged and unprofessional. V stressful experiences with them.I first travelled with them to the Maldives opening tour. Very poor standard of accommodation, inadequate food (not enough for everyone) & poor quality of food. Numerous complaints to sort it out. 2 ladies left immediately to an alternative accommodation (1 for dietary & 1 for accommodation). I am Diabetic and requested no carb diet, specifically, I do not eat rice, pasta, potatoes or white bread. But Nothing alternative was provided!!!It came as a shock to Ghazala that the group would be split across 2 guesthouses. Some would have to walk 10mins from their site for meals. Eating & relaxation facility was a concrete yard. My room stank of drains & had to be changed. A very long walk to the Halal beach contrary to the info given (only a few mins from guesthouse). Beach Turned out to be rocky. No facilities in comparison to the non-halal sandy beach with state of art facilities. I found Tour Tribes promotional material using words such as Muslim, halal and sisters as an emotional blackmail. Expecting us to put up with poor & substandards as "We are all Muslim sisters in this together " quote. Its also expected that you should help and look after each other in their needs. I found that out at my expense. Abuse and bullying by a fellow Muslim. Even if you want some space and quality time on your own. I am all for supporting Muslim businesses but will not be taken for a ride.I gave Ghazala constructive feedback in private & also offered to help her. Stipulating that we were professional and discerning women and she needs to significantly improve her services.Prior to leaving for Maldives, I had paid deposit for the Egypt Tour. Without informing us she changed the date!!!!. Because she wanted to go to a wedding. How UNPROFESSIONAL! It caused us a lot of unnecessary stress and inconvenience. Having to reschedule our existing commitments.The Egypt Tour was advertised as VIP & curated. Ghazala knew very well that it had not been curated as she was going to do it at our expense.Evidently wrong info was also given about the Abu Simbel timings and the luxury train. According to her it was 4hr trip, when in reality it was 8hrs trip there and back. We asked to fly, to give us much needed rest. Again cheapest mode of transportation was used. Lots of issues with WiFi and refreshments on coaches.Further wrong/misleading Info given about the train. Ghazala had posted a video, presenting it as the train we would be travelling on. Again I raised concerns about wrong info. What we were going to get was a tin can on wheels. You could actually see the tracks through the toilet pan! Again we should have flown and not wasted valuable rest and site visiting times. Consequently we missed the Nubian village & felucca ride. Ghazala repeatedly changed itinerary to suit her personal preferences. Showing no regard for the stated itinerary. Her time keeping was appalling poor throughout the trip. Total disrespect for her paying customers.Ghazala has no regards to dietary requirements for others or herself. She is also diabetic. I told her that I carry relevant/necessary food whilst travelling. So as not to create a medical situation or even inconvenient fellow travellers with sugar level concerns. She thought it was a good idea but never planned/organised herself. Consequently, she was the only one requiring a pit stop as her sugar levels were dropping!!!We did get VIP treatment on the return journey - a full day visiting sites in dusty Luxor, followed by an overnight train & then taken directly to GEM museum & then to the airport. NO SHOWER FOR 2 DAYS. That's Tour Tribes definition of deluxe service!!!There's a pattern emerging here with Tour Tribe - the cheapest accommodation & the worst service.It was the historical sites that saved the day & its not because of Tour Tribe, the sites have been there for thousands of years and readily accessible by others.I acknowledge that the guides were good.Sent from Outlook for Android
Two bites into the shawarma reluctantly provided by this company that had no idea about train duration times and wanted to keep up the facade of it being a "luxury" experience, I thought I had covid as I couldn't taste anything. Poured on some chilli to give it a bit of flavour, was catfished into believing it was a signature sauce secured exclusively by Tour Tribe, what I was actually given was a tub of Benylin. A pitiful experience overall but every cloud has a silver lining and the sauce saved me from taking a covid test as it tasted like feet. In summary, the food provided on the bus was an insight into what cats feel when they're force fed food they don't like by their owners that argue they spent money on it so they're gonna eat it! I will never do this to my cat again after Tour Tribe did the same to me and left me traumatised on what can only be described as an inexplicable experience! In comparison to actual tour groups, this one is DIABOLICAL!!!! You've heard of the phrase "fire in the hole"... Forget it!!! There were visible train tracks in the hole... the toilet hole of the moving train!!!

I would not recommend this travel company and would not travel with them again.The itinerary was poorly designed and appeared to prioritise cost-cutting over a meaningful cultural experience. Several scheduled stops were free sites, while key attractions such as the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) were excluded from the core itinerary. Following insistence to include GEM in the itinerary, we were required to pay $68 each to attend (initially quoted at $50), which supposedly included transport — despite transport already being booked for that day.The sleeper train was misrepresented. Ghazala shared a video of a cabin and, on her itinerary, described it as a “berth cabin,” neither of which reflected reality. The sleeper train appeared to have been chosen to avoid the cost of hotel accommodation.On the return journey, after a full day in dusty Luxor followed by a 12-hour overnight train, we were taken directly to GEM and then to the airport, with no opportunity to shower or freshen up. This falls far short of any reasonable definition of a deluxe or premium service.During the trip to Abu Simbel, the bus provided was significantly less comfortable than expected. There was a stray nail under my seat, which caused a cut to my leg. There was no first aid kit available on the bus. Later that afternoon, Ghazala did bring me antiseptic from the boat reception, which I appreciated, but this situation should never have occurred.The itinerary was repeatedly changed to suit Ghazala’s personal preferences, often at the expense of the group. She pushed for a night visit to the Nubian Village, despite it needing to be visited during the day to be worthwhile, which the local guide confirmed. After a group vote to drive past one of the shrines (which Ghazala confirmed in the WhatsApp group), she entered it at the last minute anyway, leaving the rest of the group waiting. Conversely, she showed no regard for the itinerary when it came to the felucca boat ride, which we ultimately missed.Train times and journey lengths were misrepresented, directly resulting in the missed felucca ride and Nubian Village trips. Promised unlimited Wi-Fi, soft drinks, and hot drinks were also not provided. Ghazala’s timekeeping was consistently poor throughout the trip.This tour was marketed as an opening tour offering a premium, VIP, curated experience, which we did not receive. An opening tour should not be at the customer’s expense.Overall, the experience did not match what was advertised, and I would not recommend this company. The ladies in the group made this experience tolerable.
I have just returned from the Egypt tour promoted by Tour Tribe as ‘a journey of a lifetime’ ‘premium, Cairo & Nile trip’, ‘not DIY, Curated & VIP experience…’I am afraid the tour was far from premium, it was poorly organised, the hotel in Cairo although described as 4* was substandard & old, the sleeper train on way to Aswan was appalling & disgusting with very poor WC facilities. It was a 15 hours journey, leading to the group missing key parts of the tour that was promised, such as the Nubiun Village & Felucca boat.Throughout the trip there was poor time keeping, Ghazala showed no leadership skills, kept hiding behind the tour guides/third parties. Our contract was with her not any third parties. Many times she kept defending the poor service by saying it was a ‘pilot/opening tour’.This is not acceptable.Tour Tribe charged premium rates for a substandard service. Tour Tribe was cutting cost at every opportunity.Tour Tribe only paid for the cheaper excursions or took to free places like the masjid. Any excursion which was over £15 had to be paid for separately. Key sites which Egypt is renowned for such as Abu Simbel Temple, Grand Egyptian Museum were not included.There was no hotel on the last two days of the tour as Tour Tribe wanted to cut cost by saving on hotel expenses, which meant no shower/washroom for 48 hours for the group members. The only thing that made this trip bearable were the fellow travellers, the tour guides, the cruise & the ancient history of Egypt. I have travelled with many muslim groups before & always support muslim businesses but I will not be using Tour Tribe again. I did not get what I paid for.
