Testimonials

My family undertook a holiday in Egypt and Jordon in Jan 2010. We checked with TripAdvisor on potential tour operators and we short listed a few amongst which Al Nahar was selected that is Randa's company. 

We found Randa very helpful and proficient in the following key areas: 
1. Prompt response to all queries - pre and during tour. 
2. Good understanding and flexbility in tour organisation. 
3. Hotels, Transport, Cruiser, Egyptologist, Ground Staff - excellent quality and high standard. 
4. One tour operator covering both Egypt and Jordon - reduce hassle. 
5. Competitive pricing for service level. 

I recommend Randa highly for her professional conduct and wish her continued success in her business venture.

If you travel to Egypt, I highly recommend that you work with Randa and Al Nahar Tours. Randa went out of her way to ensure that my honeymoon in Egypt was perfect. The guides, representatives, and drivers for all of our tours were professional, very knowledgeable, and taught us so much about Egypt's historical treasures. I also appreciated how attentive they were to our safety, comfort, and overall enjoyment. Randa worked around the clock before and after we arrived to make sure all of our needs were met and questions answered. She provided us with very helpful information about Egyptian culture and customs that were useful throughout our trip. We found her and all of her representatives to be reliable, flexible and creative, constantly coming up with thoughtful ways to make our experience even more memorable. My husband and I owe Randa much gratitude, and will only work with Al Nahar Tours next time we travel to Egypt.

Randa is an amazing travel agent. She has designed two tours to Egypt and one tour to Jordan for me. She has done a wonderful job on all counts! I highly recommend her. She is very honest and has a lot of personal integrity! If she cannot do something she will tell you! I have recommended her to many of my friends and they are satisfied customers as well.

My wife and I experienced the professionalism of Randa’s work and can highly recommend her services. 

The attention to detail and quality of all of her recommendations exceeded our expectations. The holiday that Randa packaged for us was exceptional. All transfers, excursions and accommodation choices, were of superior quality and seamlessly executed.

This was a trip of a lifetime, and Randa and her team did an excellent job of organizing and planning it, from beginning to end! She was very patient with us as we were trying to decide what cities we wanted to visit, for how long, and what our budget would be. There were a LOT of changes on my part, but she took them all in stride and kept a smile in her voice, which I really appreciated! She made sure that I got to see everything I wanted, and even things I didn't know I wanted to see. That's what is so perfect about having someone book your trip in a foreign country, who actually lives in that country. I visited Cairo, Luxor and Sharm el Sheikh. The activities planned and executed by Randa and her team of drivers and tour guides were too numerous for me to list, but trust me, it was an amazing trip that I will never forget! There were also personal touches that you would never get with a large company. For instance, she met us during one of our days in Cairo, just to bring us a small thank you gift...we felt like we should be giving HER a gift for putting together such a dream vacation! Randa took all of the guess work out of the planning, and made it all come together beautifully. I highly recommend using Tour Egypt 4 Less, if you want a flawless holiday with a personal touch!

Our family had a fantastic experience in Cairo organized by Randa and team. Dinner cruise on the Nile, Giza and Saqqara Pyramids, Egyptian Museum, Coptic Cairo and the Citadel of Saladin were highlights of our visit. Our guide Mohamed (extremely knowledgeable, fluent in many languages and really friendly) was wonderful. Ibrahim and the drivers were very gentle and helped us to solve all the situations we had (like when we forget our camera in the hotel...). Indeed a great experience we will never forget. Thanks a lot.

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Egypt. We were there from May 29, 2011 through June 9, 2011. We had our concerns about traveling so close to the end of the revolution, but we felt perfectly safe and had an amazing time! We split our first week between Taba and Sharm el Sheikh, and had amazing tours in Cairo and Luxor at the end of the trip. Egypt offered us the perfect balance of relaxation and awe-inspiring attractions. We had an amazing spa day in Taba, relaxed at the beach and did a 4WD desert excursion. The Sphinx, pyramids, and the Cairo Museum were definitely highlights for us when we were in Cairo. We absolutely loved exploring the various temples and the Valley of the Kings in Luxor.We booked our tours through Randa Rady, Al Nahar Tours, nadine2oo2@yahoo.com. I highly recommend that you work with her if you visit Egypt. She went out of her way to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. Randa's guides, representatives, and drivers for all of our tours were professional, very knowledgeable, and taught us so much about Egypt's historical treasures. I also appreciated how attentive they were to our safety, comfort, and overall enjoyment.

She provided us with very helpful information about Egyptian culture and customs that were useful throughout our trip. We found her and all of her representatives to be reliable, flexible and creative, constantly coming up with thoughtful ways to make our experience even more memorable.Egypt was the perfect location for our honeymoon and I am so glad that we did not cancel our trip. I cannot wait to return to Egypt, and highly recommend it!

 back from Egypt, trip report 
We are back from 8days/7nights Egypt vacation. We were a group of 4; my husband, me and our boy ( 9 years old ) and our daughter ( 7 years old ). We purchased our plane tickets from Istanbul/Turkey ourselves. And had the rest of the tour through a local agent of Al Nahar, called Randa Rady.
RANDA RADY
She is perfect. She organized our tour in such a perfect harmony. Her drivers and guides were always perfect. She was always on the phone with us asking whether we are feeling good, whether there is anything we are not satisfied or anything she could do more. For the ones who are coming to Egypt, I recommend them not to be stuck in huge groups of big travel agencies, try to trust Randa Rady, be sure what you want and how you want and go with the flow with her. She will take good care of you. Her mail address is: nadine2oo2@yahoo.com and cell no is: +20122720224

 Tour Company recommendation 
We just returned from a trip to Egypt and Israel last week. Based on previous travelers' recommendations, we booked our private tour of Egypt with Randa Rady at Al Nahor travel inCairo. Randa did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend her. She created an itinerary for us that met all our requests and she kept in touch with us in Egypt via cell phone to make sure that everything was going well. You can contact her at nadine2oo2@yahoo.com. Our tour guide in Cairo was Eman. She was a wonderful, knowledgable and caring guide.

 Trip Report; Randa Rady, Al Nahar Tours 
We just returned from a two week trip to Egypt that was absolutely one of the best vacations we've ever had. The whole thing was organized by Randa Rady of Al Nahar tours and she did a fantastic job, including great communications both before and during the trip. It was very, very hard for me to accept the idea that I was expected to pay someone thousands of dollars with no evidence that any of it was being paid to the vendors at any time (other than an Egypt Air confirmation), but Randa took care of everything superbly. I recommend her absolutely: trust her to build the trip you want, send her the money when agreed, let go your angst that you're being ripped off because you're not, and you'll have a great time too.
Details: Stayed at the JW Marriott in Cairo for two nights on arrival and one night on departure. Airport convenient hotel a long way from the city and sights but 5-star is deserved and we chose it precisely for what it is. Glad we did, flight from London was delayed 30 hours and finally arrived at 5 AM a day late, we just wanted to go to bed ASAP.
After 1 hurried day sightseeing in Cairo flew to Luxor, stayed one night at the Maritim Jolie Ville Luxor Island Resort . Very pretty setting on an island in the Nile, good food, bungalow style rooms need updating. This is probably where stupid me picked up an intestinal bug by using the tap water to brush my teeth. I KNOW to always use bottled water for that.
Transferred to dahabeya Jasmine to sail to Aswan. Dahabeyas are small (Jasmine has 7 cabins) sailing boats that often (usually?) have to be pulled up-river. No problem, the tug is a long rope ahead and not an annoyance. This was a FANTASTIC experience. Food, crew, river scenery, daily sightseeing tours and guide were all incredible. We were the only three passengers (outnumbered by the crew by a factor of 4!) These smaller boats can anchor in out-of-the-way spots on the Nile where bigger boats can't, so every night was quiet and peaceful. One night we had a bonfire and dinner right on the riverbank, treated to ethnic singing and drumming by the crew while we ate. It's a placid river and for those concerned, I don't think you could get any motion sickness.
After seeing Aswan, transferred to the 50 cabin Eugenie to sail on to Abu Simbal on Lake Nasser. Stars like that can no longer be seen in the US any place east of Utah or New Mexico. Another great boat and fantastic experience, although the food was America/European rather than Egyptian...while good, we preferred the Egyptian fare on Jasmine. By this time it was fun to meet some fellow 

travelers and our daughter wound up being declared "Queen of the Nile". I got a lot of offers for her in the souks, too, but what am I supposed to do with that many camels???? LOL.
Best part of the entire trip, by far, was the Egyptians we met. Fun, friendly, outgoing, wonderful people. Bargaining isn't much fun for most Americans in many places, but in Egypt we had a blast because the guys who run their little shops in the souk (at least in Luxor and Aswan) don't take life too seriously and were so much fun to banter with. Relax about maybe "overpaying" (it's weird how you can get hung up over a 5 dollar price difference on a fun souvenier when you'd spend that at Starbuck's in the US without a moment's hesitation) and have fun!

Al-nahar and Mrs.Rady, best tour co


We just returned from a 10 day trip to Egypt. Everything was planned and executed between me and Mrs Randa Rady of AL-Nahar tours. She did a wonderful job, was always fast with her email replies to my wishes and questions. Her reps and guides were very prompt and knowledgeable. I had one small problem during the cruise which she immediately fixed after a phone call.
I can wholeheartedly recommend her agency and her personally.
Her email address is Randa Rady: nadine2oo2@yahoo.com

 Did two weeks in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and White Desert 
My wife and I just completed a tour of Egypt. We spent 2 weeks in Cairo, LuxorAswan and the White Desert, and the trip was wonderful. It was our first visit to Egypt, in fact the first visit to the African Continent, and we were not disappointed.
Arriving from OZ you could immediately see the difference at the Cairo airport itself when you see the chaos, but the system works somehow. The best advice our guide gave was to be patient (when we were trying to change queues at the immigration - because one queue was moving quicker). Once you accept that it was much easier.
We loved the country and we loved the people. They are so friendly and always treated us with great respect. Although the street vendors could sometimes can be an annoyance, if you ignore them (as advised by the Forum), you are ok.
We were lucky that our agent arranged everything for us. I got the name of the agent, Randa Rady, from the forum which had several recommendations. She arranged an almost perfect itinerary for our “modest” budget and we have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. Her transactions were transparent and we had no issues on any correspondence or commercial matters, and we were well looked after (from the time of our arrival at the Cairo airport to our departure). She also provided us options some of which we took up during the trip.
We did Cairo, Nile Cruise, Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel etc plus the White Desert. Randa’s guides and assistants, especially Waleed Azab and Ibrahim from Cairo, were fantastic and and always on time, and Randa was available any time on the mobile. Waleed, who was our guide (and Egyptologist) for Cairo tours was excellent and was very knowledgeable, polite and provided us excellent explanations all along. His English was very good. He was more than a guide and attended to all our requests. It was not a surprise when we found out that he was doing post-graduate studies.
Mr Saldoon, the Egyptologist who accompanied us in Luxor, was also excellent and we were amazed by his knowledge.
White Desert was an experience anyone should not miss. Then, you should not miss the Museum, mosques and the temples in Luxor, Abu Sembel etc.
We travelled by car, by sleeper train, feluuca and on the Nile Cruise.
I got the stomoach bug on the second day itself but managed to overcome it easily using Imodium which we carried with us. After that I was very careful in eating from outside. My wife had no issues.
Advice given by forum members were very useful and I recommend anyone to go through forum threads on any subject before they embark on the trip.

12 day tour of Egypt/Jordon - Jan 2010

My family (self, wife and adult son) did the above tour in mid Jan. We were interested in a private tour - advantage of a 3 member team. We got good information from the Forum and TA Coordinator - list of tour operators, places visited, timing, etc. Thanks TA !!.

Our tour plan was visit Cairo/Gaza/Alexandria; Air travel Cairo/AbuSembal/Aswan and Luxor/Cairo/Amman/Cairo; river cruise Aswan to Luxor and then visit Amman/Jerash/Dead Sea/Petra/Wadi Rum. Tour to include hotels, meals, local airfares, guides, entrance fees etc except Tips.

We shortlisted 6 tour operators and finally decided to go with Al Nahar as it provided us a competitive price and covered both Egypt and Jordon tours.

We can highly recommend Al Nahar for the following reasons:
1. Very competitive price.
2. Highly professional staff - Randa and her team of Egyptologists, reps, drivers, acted ethically, punctually, can do attitude & good humour, responsible.
3. Gave us sim card on arrival in order to keep direct contact with us on movements etc. Card returned on departure. Proactive.
4. Good quality hotels, restuarants, cruiser, vehicles.
5. Egyptologist/Guides - very knowledgeable and caring.
6. Tour plan - well set out with good balance of sightseeing and having a break.


Happy to share our experiences with other TA participants and enquirers.

Enjoy your travels.

1. Re: Tour
Hello waldropsb,
My wife and I have used the services of Ms Randa to organise our trip to Egypt last year.
Randa worked tirelessly to put together a truely wonderful experience for us. She was able to cater for and accommodate all our wishes and her recommendations, especially regarding accommodation were first rate.
Randa organised private guides and private van transportation at each of the cities that we stayed at and organised first rate site seeing excursions. We visited, Alexandria, Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simble, Luxor, Sharm and Nuweiba.
I would highly recommend Randa's services to any traveller on this forum. Her contact email is:
nadine2oo2@yahoo.com
If you want any further information I can be contacted directly on email:
Good luck and best wishes


I traveled to Egypt for eleven days. My trip was arranged by Randa Rady. The short and simple review of my experience was excellent. Randa is a fantastic agent, who I recommend highly! Her contact is nadine2oo2@yahoo.com. I also found it very nice that she gave me her phone number so I could speak to her directly from the US. I initially planned to arrange my own travel in Egypt, and got in touch with Randa to make some hotel arrangements in Cario. I quickly realized I needed more help with my trip, at which point Randa became my travel agent for Egypt. She arranged every detail of my trip from hotels, private cars, tours, tour guides and few extras. There are two important things I want to highlight about Randa: 1) She had excellent communication with me – quick and detailed responses; and 2) she made it a point to attend to every detail of my trip to my specifications – anything I wanted to special arrangements she took care of them all. Simple example, my travel companion was vegetarian, Randa made excellent arrangements to meet my friends needs. Randa is very trust worthy and reliable. She helped me put together and excellent itinerary with in my budget. Ok – I know by now I must sound like an advertisement for Ranada – but I think without her help my trip would have not worked out. I’d be lost somewhere in the desert without her. If you have any questions about going to Egypt or working with Randa let me know . Priyank


Phil Northmore has recommended your work as Operation Manager at Al Nahar Tours. Details of the Recommendation:

"Randa arranged a holiday through Egypt, Jordan and Israel in Nov/Dec 2010 for myself, my wife and another couple. The trip was excellent both in content and value for money. Randa was very professional from first contact through to keeping in touch during the trip to insure all was going well. I recommend that if anyone is travelling to Egypt that you contact Randa and I ensure you that you will be very satisfied with dealing with her and the tour that she will put together for you.
