Kumuka is about giving you local insights as well as adventure, so, where we think you will get more out of your holiday by using different means of transport, that is what we do. The use of a variety of private transport is an integral part of our Middle East tours and enhances the experience!

» Accommodation

On small group tours, accommodation is mainly hotel-based, on twin share, same-gender basis. Rooms are normally en-suite and we tend to use smaller, family-run type hotels, although there may be the occasional desert camp or the odd overnight train.

» Transport

Minibus
We use minibuses rather than local buses. These small light vehicles are more manoeuvrable and flexible enabling us to take you to more remote, less visited areas. The minibuses are usually air-conditioned unless we are travelling in cooler areas or at altitude.

Overnight Train
We use overnight sleeper trains from Cairo to Aswan in Egypt. The trains generally have air-conditioned carriages and we book twin-bed carriages with dinner and breakfast served onboard..

Ferry
A ferry is used to cross the Red Sea from Hurgada to Sharm El Sheikh, and we use a 5 Star cruise boat from Aswan to Luxor along the River Nile.

» Luggage

We recommend that you take a backpack or a comfortable hold-all, as well as a day pack for essentials. Remember that you will be responsible for carrying this, as well as loading it onto the roof of a bus or perhaps walking a few blocks through town with it. So be sure that your are comfortable with the weight and size.
