They have been taking care of us in everything from the first moment especially Safari Adventure and the snorkeling trip to Ras Mohammed and the White Island. We enjoyed it a lot. We have been to Cairo and Luxor with them as well. We saw pyramids, valley of the kings and lots of other stuff. Bedouin village, coral reefs, quad biking, safari and lots and lots… the guys are awesome. Thank you Khalid, Ibrahim & Sam for taking care of us. I recommend them.
