Khaled was far the best guide we had ever had compared to past trips. He was kind, cordial, professional, fluent in English, exceptional knowledgeable in the Egyptian culture and all the places we attended. He was outstanding! Relied on him for other ideas and assistance in obtaining information we needed and he came through with flying colors! I give him 5 stars plus! He deserves a raise! Khaled, I felt went beyond the call of duty.
Muhamond(sp) also did a great job, greeted us with smiles and kindness, assisting and directing us through airports, and to our hotels. He also assisted the students with luggage that did not arrive in time. Very Professional in mannerism. He communicated with others to reassure that we arrived safely and efficiently to our destinations. 5 stars to him as well.
All the other guides and the bus drives were also kind, professional, helpful and we always made it to our destinations in a timely manner and safely. Thank you also for the security guides(I know the government secured them for all travelers in groups, but they were excellent) to be sure of our safety), all were professional and on the alert. I would highly recommend your company to everyone I meet to use you.
Activity Reviews
It was amazing to see these sites, the ancient Pyramids, the Spynx & more. We felt in awe that they are still around all these years. The weather was 104, but the breeze was cool and it didn’t affect us that much, as our guide made sure we were there early before it became too hot. Unusual for this time of year we were told.
Early morning adventure, but well worth it! The sacred place was one of the best experience we could have imagined. Using the camels was far better than I thought it would be, so serene and the stars were so mesmerizing! Thank you Khaled for this recommendation!The camels made the climb easier, and the rest of it was up to us! To be where Moses received the 10 commandments couldn’t be any better experience! Love the sunrise as well, (especially with the camels) breathtaking, was very spiritual experience.
Love the sunset tour of the temple and how the light gives it an extra flare
A gain another beautiful temple with much of its original symbols and sculptures intact, love the horse and carriage ride through the town, driver was great too
I did share Kom Ombo temple in another area, but a couple of pictures I did add to this photo gallery. The trip down the Nile was an extraordinary adventure that no one should miss, with a private boat. My pictures here showcases the village people and families we encountered, but, also the boat crew, who were superb, along with just being in and around the Nile on this awesome journey. A
the Museum is a must place to go!The Christian/Catholic Church and the story about the holy family entering Egypt a sacred place.
The temples/ tomb of Hatshepsut very impressive especially the stories that as a woman she chose to dress as a man or be masculine at times, but, she also brought great wealth and artistry to her land. Of course, King Tut, you must be sure to go in to that tomb site. Amazing to see King Tut inside as well as some of the carvings/drawing on the walls depicting some of his life missions. The other temples/ tombs and Pharoahs were all of interest having their own legacy of fascinating stories. You don't want to miss these fascinating tombs. At one point we also saw the famous Dam that helps the Nile maintains an even flow throughout Egypt. We also enjoyed the workshop on alabaster, papyrus and healing herbs.
St. Catherine is not only beautiful, but very sacred as it holds the generations of the burning bush which still thrives after 1000 years +, it also holds the famous well that Moses helped others (women) to draw water from. The stories continues inside the walls of this special place. Its another must place to see.
Sharm El Sheikh most beautiful place by the Red Sea. Snorkeling was fantastic, the fish were unbelievable, and the Boat ride was incredible
Excellent Hotel, recommend Safir Water falls hotel, a beautiful place and on the Red Sea where you can rent your snorkeling to swim around the area and see colorful fish. Food is buffet style, variety and great tasting. The hotel has multiple pools for leisure and lovely areas to relax by the sea as well as a great spa. The rooms are beautiful and the service is great. Everyone greets you with kindness and they are helpful when you need assistance. They do have a doctor on site, which was great because some of our passengers had serious colds and were taken care of immediately. Close to the old market and Farsha Cafe is a must place to see during day and evening. It is on the Red Sea and has multi-levels. Variety of drinks are served, with music and so much more.
Great adventure heading to Alexandria from Cairo, only about 2 1/2 hours away. Relaxing and enjoyed the sites that we saw. The Catacomb was amazing, as well as the Pompeii Pillar with artifacts from Cleopatra's Palace and the Old Lighthouse which are both underwater due to an Earthquake, however you can see some of the pillars, underwater. Lunch on the Mediterranean Sea Fish Market-amazing lunch. Beautiful water and relaxing. The Citadel was also fantastic to see as well the walk around the area, found the perfect gift for my grandson, turned 4 on the day I bought it!
