Our trip through the stunning beauty of Egypt was truly exceptional, thanks to our outstanding guide, Abdallah. His friendly nature and wealth of information made our experience even more memorable. The highlight of our Aswan experience was our stay at a Nubian hotel on an island. This unique accommodation allowed us to delve deeper into the beautiful Nubian culture, creating lasting memories of our visit to Aswan. We have only positive things to say about the company's organization which made our trip smooth and enjoyable.
