Egypt is a must-do for all travellers and expat were a great company to experience it all though.
Our itinerary was brilliant, never making us feel rushed but ensuring we got to experience the best Egypt has to offer in a 10 day visit.
Ramez our guide is the best you can hope for. His knowledge of Egyptology, care for us as a group, organisation and kind and happy nature left us with memories and friendships that will last a life-time.
Not once did I feel unsafe or at risk as a solo mid 20's female traveller.
The Jordan part of the trip, while a beautiful country with amazing sites and experiences also was a bit rushed and felt disorganised. Don't let this stop you from booking the Egypt part of the trip though!
I would recommend this trip to anyone, especially with the overnight on a Felucca boat - a highlight of the trip for me!!
This was a great trip, and I would recommend it.
The hotels were all fine, the one night camping less so - very cold and the set-up was VERY basic (a kilometer away from a luxury resort!) - but the night sky in the desert was amazing.
The trip notes are not totally accurate/informative though - there is a lot more travelling than they suggest and a lot of it is in 4-wheel drive vehicles over rough ground. If you don't like heights, beware!
Be prepared for squat toilets in quite a lot of places :-/
All in all it was a good trip, well managed and very interesting.

We’re both in our 60s and loved the concept of seeing iconic cities in one tour. Highlights for us were Cape Town and Agra, very well organized with knowledgeable guides. The early morning flights and long transfers were tiring, and there wasn’t much time to unpack before moving again. That said, we met lovely people and learned so much. We just wish we had more time in Singapore. They handled logistics impressively for such a big tour. Would recommend for flexible, energetic travelers.

I recently retired and this was my first big “freedom trip.” I wasn’t looking for luxury. I just wanted something different from the usual cruise trips I took or all-inclusive. India and Dubai? I was totally out of my comfort zone, which made it incredible. Watching the chaos of Delhi traffic from the safety of our coach, standing in front of the Taj Mahal or riding through the desert dunes outside Dubai, it all felt great. The tour gave me structure but didn’t feel hand holding. The guide had patience for all our questions. This trip reminded me that you’re never too old to feel amazed.
