    Our tour guide Mohomed Fouad (Medu) was excellent and had so much knowledge on everything we visited - there wasn't one question he didn't know the answer to. The places we went were great and the hotels were good for the most part too

    Mohamed Adel our tour guide was exceptional. He went above and beyond to make our holiday memorable. He provided us with an educated, factual and personal perspective on the country as well as on the mind blowing history. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone based on the experience Mohamed made possible.
