Everything about this trip was perfect! The itinerary included all of the major sites you would want to see, as well as so many other amazing and fun experiences. Our guide, Ned, was extremely personable and knowledgeable, not only about the sites, but also Egyptian culture.

We had a number of local guides showing us around places such as Elephantine Island as well as several stays with local families which were fantastic (more)Hard to judge as it was all so brilliant, but probably the felucca trip and diving in Dahab were the most memorable. The sights are amazing and the people friendly, who could ask for more on a fab holiday! (more)Highlights were the hot air ballooning at sunrise, meeting the donkeys on landing to ride to the valley of the Kings & going into the tombs, all on the final day!! (more)We really enjoyed the extra time they took to show us some of the things off the beaten path and some real Egyptian food and sheesha. The Valley of the Kings was our most favourite site.
(more)The Ancient Egyptian sites were amazing of course, one of our favourite moments was finding ourselves deep inside the burial chamber of Khafre's pyramid (the second large pyramid) and having the room to ourselves for a few minutes... (more)The Nile cruise on the Movenpick; all the monuments, temples, tombs, and the Pyramids were the highlights. (more)Absolutely stunned by the tombs and temples, still find it hard to grasp the scale and artistry and work that went into creating them. Absolutely superb, want to do it again, plus more. (more)
Most memorable were going inside the Great Pyramid, sailing down (up) the Nile in the Dahabiya, Hadeel, instead of the big diesel monsters they have for most tourists, El Tahrir square and the bazaar. The staff on the Hadeel were fabulous. (more)The most memorable part of our holiday were camel riding, seeing the Pyramids and the Nile boat trip. (more)
Petra was just incredible; everyone should visit this wonderful city and landscape. Just visiting Petra justifies the travel. (more)Saw everything we wanted plus more. It was a fabulous holiday, Mohammed is so knowledgeable - he is a credit to your company! (more)I really enjoyed the felucca trip between Aswan and Edfu, but would have liked an extra day. I was really impressed by Abu Simbel, and the really deep tomb we saw at the Valley of the Kings make the others there pale in comparison. (more)
The biggest thing for me was seeing the kids enthused over visiting the unique historic sites on tour. (more)Most memorable were the wonderful ancient monuments we visited - in particular Queen Hatshepsut's mortuary temple - but also Luxor temple, Kom Ombo and Karnak. Also the beautiful vistas on the Nile and sailing in a felucca. (more)Thought I'd let you know we have just returned from one of our best holidays ever... Everything was a highlight, especially the three nights in the desert where we slept under the stars and joined in with the bedouin music and songs. (more)Highlights were the visit to the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple in Luxor and Abu Simbel. The full-day snorkelling trip.
