Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on January 31, 2023 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Courtesy of Respective Travel Advisor For travelers looking to get off the beaten path, Bazos can arrange a tour of one of Egypt’s top Arabian horse farms—and schedule time with the owner and with newborn foals—or a mountain-biking tour outside Cairo that ends with a traditional lunch in a Bedouin tent. Bazos has an intimate knowledge of what makes a successful trip, including the all-important guides on the ground, each of which he personally vets. "Guide selection and allocation is the most important aspect in the quality of an Egypt tour. All the guides should be certified Egyptologists and matched based on the personality of the travelers within a group," he says. And Bazos pays attention to even the smaller details, like being met at the airport by a representative for a smooth transfer to the hotel. Some properties that have caught his eye for 2023 include Rixos Premium Magawish Suites and Villas, in Hurghada, and BenBen by Dhara Hotels, in Aswan.

My first trip with Chris was an 18-day family trip to Egypt and Jordan. I was initially a bit apprehensive about the trip and all the details. Chris' willingness to talk through all the details and answer all of my questions by phone or email reassured me. Everything about the trip was amazing, from the sites to the tour guides to the accommodations. Chris' attention to detail and expertise provided our family with a trip of a lifetime. Since that first trip, we've worked with him on other trips including our youngest son's honeymoon to Greece. I have full faith and confidence in any trip Chris plans for my family. Chris is not only our trusted travel expert, but has also become a family friend." - Andrea S. Itinerary Egypt Sample Itinerary Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why!
