Customer Review about Tours in Egypt

They took the time to understand what it was I sought to see in Egypt (if you are like me – and think Egypt is all about pyramids – you will be surprised to learn that pyramids are only the tip of the ice berg!) At that time, I was mostly interested in sites of archeological significance. And Eman showed me exactly where my places of interests are located, and how I could go about them. I wanted to be flexible with my dates – so that I was not rushed away from any place before I had completed my experience. She was very cognizant of this fact while she planned the trip.

Everything went exactly like she promised me it would – every city I went, I was greeted by one of her remote staff at the train station, the hotels were good, the tour guides were excellent, the taxi drivers were punctual and everybody was friendly. Even though the Egyptian culture was new to me – and many aspects of it were not easily understandable – I could see that everyone was making very sincere efforts to adapt to me, as I was to them. There were no hassles about payments – and they stuck to the pre-negotiated price.

My advice to travelers – Egypt is so fantastic that there are no doubts that you will come back mesmerized by what you saw. Planning the trip, however, is best left to competent local experts – for a couple of reasons: Egypt is a developing country – they have done an excellent job of making the country very hospitable for tourist, the archeological sites and museum are amazing, and people are very friendly. However, the public transportation infrastructure is not as smooth and you need someone to show you how to get from A to B. Secondly, if you can’t speak Arabic, it can quickly become a communication issue – so you need a tour guide who speaks your language.

Finally – beyond the archeological sites and museums – my most fantastic experience was the felluca trip from Aswan to Luxor. It is a 5 star experience for anyone who is young and young-ish. This is the closest you can get to being part of the Nile ethos. You spend 2 days in a little sail boat (the same wind technology which has transported people and materials up and down the Nile for thousands of years!) and you see for yourself all the little Egyptian villages and temples along the way. The nights are beautiful on the Nile and you get to experience it all far-far away from the hustle and bustle of people and cities. It is a very touching experience! Enjoy (and learn!)!!!

Thanks a lot

It is difficult to list a favorite Part of the trip but I definitely loved Wadi Rum. The desert was Incredible and we sipped tea on cushions under a Bedouin tent. We Found everyone to be very friendly in this progressive, moderate Country. Thank you so much. Appreciate the excellent service as always.
Regards,

Nicholas PS – where will you take us next?
