Egypt: Safe and Spectacular!

GREGORY HARDIGAN

What can I say...this tour was amazing. Never thought I'd see the sights I saw on this trip, never thought any of this would be possible in my lifetime. Egypt seemed too far, too exotic, too expensive. As soon as I saw the listing for this tour, it suddenly seemed like it might be possible. We had reservations about going for sure. We have kids, 10 and 13. There's a war in Israel. It's summer in a very hot part of the world. Do we need Yellow Fever vaccines? Will the food make us sick? Americans kept telling us it would be too dangerous to go. None of that turned out to be a problem. Egypt was very very safe. There are police and military personnel on the streets and at cultural sites. I saw no crime, no people sleeping on the streets. No people panhandling. Going to ATMs to get cash was very safe and easy. We went everywhere from big tourist sites to small neighborhoods. Food was great and we never got sick. We didn't drink the tap water, but bottled water and soft drinks are everywhere. It was hot, but air conditioning, pools, and headscarves manage this. I'll say this again, because I have heard a lot about this: Egypt is safe. It's kind. It's welcoming. People are excited that you're visiting from America. The food is great, and safe. The hotels were amazing: Steigenberger in Giza is clean, beautiful, has a nice restaurant with free breakfast, and has a view of the pyramids, which is pretty wild. Movenpick in Aswan is spectacular, taking up a large portion of an island in the middle of the Nile, with pools and sustainable farms on-site. The Jaz cruise up the Nile was really nice, with good food and comfortable quarters. The Continental hotel in Hurghada was seriously ridiculously lavish, with a private beach on the Red Sea, giant pool, a dozen restaurants, and a shopping corridor. And the Ramses Hilton in Cairo is clean, elegant, and right in the middle of the action of downtown Cairo. We saw a million places from ancient Egypt I never thought we'd see. I can't overstate how incredible it is to stand in front of the Sphinx, the pyramids of Giza, Luxor temple, Kom Ombo, and especially the incredible monuments at Abu Simbel...this is an optional extra tour, and a bit expensive, as it's a whole day trip, but my goodness, it's worth the long drive. Incredible. Overall, this trip had probably the most OMG moments I've had on a trip. And I've been to some pretty spectacular places, including India, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Peru (Machu Picchu), the UK, and more. Please trust me and take the trip. Ignore the warnings. It's so worth it.

I recently had the most incredible trip to Egypt, and I cannot contain my excitement to share my excellent experience with you. From exploring the magnificent pyramids to embarking on a camel ride, cruising along the Nile, and witnessing the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel and hot air balloon in luxor , every moment was truly unforgettable. First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude to this tour operator for providing exceptional services throughout my journey. From the moment I arrived, their team was dedicated, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my trip was seamless and enjoyable. The highlight of my trip was undoubtedly visiting the pyramids. Standing in front of these ancient wonders was a surreal experience that words cannot fully describe. The grandeur and scale are truly awe-inspiring, and I was able to learn so much about Egypt's rich history thanks to the knowledgeable guides. Another unforgettable experience was the camel ride. Trotting through the desert on these majestic creatures allowed me to immerse myself in the mystical atmosphere of Egypt. It was an adventure that made me feel like I had stepped back in time and added an extra layer of authenticity to my journey. The Nile cruise was a luxurious and serene experience. Sailing along the iconic river, I had the opportunity to witness breathtaking sunsets, enjoy delicious cuisine, and explore the incredible temples and archaeological sites that line its banks. The accommodations on the cruise were top-notch, and the staff provided impeccable service. The icing on the cake was the visit to Abu Simbel with a hot air balloon ride. Watching the sunrise as I soared above these ancient temples was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The view from above was simply breathtaking, and it allowed me to appreciate the splendor and craftsmanship of these remarkable structures. I must also commend this company for their attention to detail when it came to accommodations. The hotels I stayed in were clean, comfortable, and provided a luxurious experience. Additionally, the transfers between locations were seamless, and I felt well taken care of every step of the way. Lastly, I want to extend a special shoutout to my guide, Mac. His knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm for Egypt's history and culture were infectious. His storytelling brought the sites to life, and he made every moment of the trip engaging and educational. I couldn't have asked for a better guide to accompany me on this incredible journey. In conclusion, my trip to Egypt exceeded all expectations. The pyramids, camel ride, Nile cruise, Abu Simbel with a hot air balloon — each experience was a testament to Egypt's rich heritage and beauty. I wholeheartedly recommend this travel operator for their exceptional services, amazing staff, clean hotels, luxury transfers, and, of course, Mac, the best guide one could ask for. Thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
