"10 Day Egypt in Depth Tour
You know that I was somewhat worried about safety before we left. But I was overwhelmed by the friendliness of the Egyptian people. We had a wonderful tour that was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. The accommodations were excellent and clean (both hotel and ship). Our driver in Cairo was very nice and very punctual. So was our tour guide in Cairo.
They managed to pack a lot of interesting sightseeing into our two days in Cairo. We not only saw the pyramids in Gizah and Sakkara, but also visited the Mohammed Ali Mosque, the Ezra Synagogue, and the Khan Khalili Bazaar. A special treat was the camel ride at the pyramids which was included in our tour.
In Luxor we were met by Samih who stayed with us for the duration of the Nile cruise. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. His stories really brought the Egyptian history to life. In addition to organizing the Luxor light show and a hot air balloon ride for us, he was also able to take us on a tour to a Nubian village close to Aswan. Samih was also helpful in changing our hotel for the last night in Cairo from the Mena House in Gizah to the Meridien at the airport.
We had a wonderful trip thanks to you and your excellent staff in Cairo. Special thanks to Yasser and highest marks to Samih.
Best regards,
Julia McIndoo
