Unlike the ancient Greeks and Romans, tourists today are very demanding. Here are some of the things tourists expect today.

Accommodations: Some tourists have experienced dissatisfaction with the quality of their accommodations. This is often related to the old hotel ranking system in Egypt, which could be misleading as it did not accurately reflect the quality of the hotel’s services and amenities. However, Egypt has recently introduced a new hotel ranking system aligned with international standards, which should help resolve this issue​​.

Transport: Some tourists have raised concerns about transportation, particularly about vehicles not having air conditioning. Delays in transportation and tour guides arriving late have also been reported. However, these are considered minor issues that can sometimes occur with any tour operator​​.

Missed Itinerary Stops: Some tours end up missing planned stops, often because tourists request more time at one location, which subsequently affects the rest of the itinerary​​.

Shopping Stops: Tourists have complained about excessive shopping stops during the tours. It is common practice for tour guides to receive commissions from store owners when tourists make purchases, which may lead to many such stops​.
