1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Camel ride round the Pyramids (you do have to barter hard), Abel Simbel and best of all Valley of the Kings. Also the fact that we were in our own family tour group with own minibus/tour guide and always felt safe and well looked after. Meeting such friendly enthusiastic Egyptians!!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Two days in Cairo is enough...it is very busy, lots of rubbish, half finished buildings but felt should have spent longer at Egyptian Museum. Let your guide know if not interested in visits to carpet schools etc as they are just a way to get you in shop! Flying to Abu Simel is definitely the best option...arrive after the bus groups have left so even quieter. Was not sure if 2 hours enough but was and the plane seems to wait till everyone back anyway! Stay at Ana kato hotel if want small local hotel (see review on trip adviser). Only did one day of sight seeing at Luxor. There was things we did not see but was nice to have 2 days relaxing. Balloon ride is a must.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Used an Egyptian company who employed Egyptians so hopefully money (except for large international hotels) went into the Egyptian economy. Hotel in Aswan owned by Nubians. Worried more about the impact on environment as flew/drove covering a large area (although all the planes were full) and no recycling in Egypt (there does not seem to be any refuse collecting either!!)
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Fantastic...was a great holiday for 3 teenages (although they had been prepared for the early starts). I would like to thank all at the operator for organising such a memorable holiday.
