What people love about Egypt Tours for Seniors
Egypt was Breathtaking! It exceeded my expectations and beyond. Such a beautiful country filled with some much history and culture. I honestly cannot pick a favorite part to my trip, I loved every single minute of it. From seeing the Pyramids, The Sphinx, Valley of the Kings, Hatsepshut temple, sailing down the famous Nile river, having high tea at the Old Cataract Hotel and flying Abu Simbel it was just a dream vacation. Also, the Travel Director Assem was AWESOME! He was super knowledgable, funny, helpful and so passionate of his country. He really made our trip even more special. His storytelling made it more fun to learn and understand. Egypt is now on my go back list! Don't miss out on this special journey!
