It was an amazing trip, through this tour we were able to visit a wide variety of different places from ancient Egyption temples built thousands of years ago to picturesque vantage points overlooking the breathtaking Nile River. Each tour guide assigned to us felt like family from the minute we met and elevated the experience through their hospitality, friendliness and insights into each location we visited.
