Wonders of Ancient Egypt

The itinerary was filled with many different activities and visits to the main ancient sites of Egypt. Our extra excursion to Abu Simbel was worth the extra cost - to see such magnificent works of stone, art, and carvings was amazing.

Great tours with very knowledgeable tour guides. Unfortunately, one of the restaurants we visited made about 25 out of 28 on our tour sick with very bad stomach issues. Figured out through luck at the pharmacy it was Giardia. Not a nice experience when it last 8 days of a 12 day tour. The food and staff on our Nile cruise were all excellent.

Well itinerary was good. It was the diarrhea everyone seemed to catch. Started with.This poor lady at the valley if the kings Diarrhea running down her leg Then couple days later I caught it. Everyone at my table where we ate had it People next to us had it. Then I got UTI infection. I am on antibiotics as I write this The itinerary was good. We saw a lot of temples and two mosques etc. unfortunately we are not Egyptologists. It was hard to remember everything told to us. Perhaps a brief summary (a paragraph) of the temple and a scene of what he will discuss might pull it together the names of Gods and their significance Now at home I am finding programs to watch to help me reconfirm and better understand what I was told. I watched Wonders of ancient Egypt etc. it is an amazing time and so much to glean from this unimaginable time of the Pharoahs. I learned about the Nubia people. The felucca ride was sooooo much fun!!!! Very entertaining. We all loved it. I got a camel bone bracelet. . Got to put my feet in the Nile. Ride a camel. Everyone at home loved my photos. What a trip!!!! They exclaimed

Like many people I have a bucket list and Egypt was up there at the top of it and did not disappoint. The included 7 day cruise was amazing. The staff so friendly and helpful. After all warnings about the food prior to the tour, I was pleasantly surprised with the huge variety of food available and suitable to all tastes. Once you get used to all the security checks and the fact we had a body guard with us on the tour, you can relax and enjoy each and every treasure Egypt has to offer. Keep in mind that this is an ancient country and while they do their best to accommodate tourists, there is still a lot of walking on uneven ground, with many steps and long distances to get to some sites Unfortunately many of our travellers were unable to go to several of the historic sites due to problems with their mobility. Something else to factor in is the heat. Wear a hat, sun screen and repellent and along with plenty of bottled water (you cannot drink the water) Due to this our fantastic Tour Director scheduled our visits to most of the historic sites early in the morning to avoid the heat which was much appreciated I met the most amazing and friendly people on the tour from all around the world. This was my 6th tour and I have two more after this one. I would recommend it ! Sit back relax and enjoy your journey
