Holiday Reviews
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same trip can have different views!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Seeing a turtle on the scuba diving part of the holiday plus climbing Mt Sinai.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Just to read the literature thoroughly, perhaps read up on the area before arriving. The info by the tour operator was pretty comprehensive though.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
I would like to think so, we visited a Bedouin craft centre which was part of an eco tourism project so the money went back to the locals. Plus a tree is being planted for every person flying to offset carbon emissions.
4. Any other comments?
It was excellent and exceeded my expectations. It was well organised but in a laid back sort of way enabling you to do your own thing as well as and when you wanted to.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Too many to mention - it was brilliant! Dahab is a lovely, really laid back resort which I’d definitely visit again. The daily yoga sessions were great - pitched really well for beginners & the more experienced. This yoga operator in the desert was a real experience along with the climb up Mount Sinai where we ended up with the mountain to ourselves and an amazing view. Relaxing on the beach & snorkelling really balanced out the more active parts of the holiday too - a great mix.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Take enough warm clothes for the Mount Sinai climb & be prepared to switch off for a week!
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes, very much so & in addition to this, our tour guide (Will) really cared about the local community & the environment and made sure the trip was as ‘responsible' as possible.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was brilliant. I was unsure about going on holiday on my own but I loved every minute of it, met some great people and will definitely keep up my yoga as I was a complete beginner before. I am seriously considering another yoga travel trip.
