    Spiritual Egypt Tour by Ancient Power Travel - Highly recommended this tour and Ancient Power Travel company. Absolutely the best way to see and experience Egypt and I am very happy to have chosen this tour. I was interested in this tour in particular visiting Dendera and Abydos temples and Dahsure in addition to the typical tourist destinations. Well organized and flawlessly accommodated. The tour coordinator, local reps, guides and drivers were all excellent. This tour includes a week long Nile River Cruise. There are shorter cruise but I was very glad to experience a week on the Nile by MS Premium. It's an uncertain time to travel overseas but everything worked well.
