Amaziing adventure
All the places we visited in Egypt were amazing, a real once in a lifetime experience! The temples, the pyramids, the historical sites and tombs were incredible . We had a fantastic group of 12 people of all ages and had a great time together. Hotels were clean, food was generally good. The felucca was dissapointing. Our tour guide George was great and we had good planning, so most of our visits were in the mornings to beat the crowds and the heat. Petra was my highlight - and could have done with a whole day day there.

Fulfillment of travel goal to see Pyramids of Giza & Sphinx.
The itinerary in Egypt & Jordan was good. I really enjoyed the visits to all the ancient sites particularly the Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, Abu Simbel & Petra. All the rest such as the temples, tombs, museums, Wadi Rum & Mt Nebo were pleasantly a surprise to me.

Egypt/Jordan adventure!
The tour was packed with stops but also had some down time to unwind. Our guide Mina in Egypt was truly a gem! He made sure we were enjoying every bit of the tour. He really did love showing us his country! The Felucca boat was an unforgettable experience! Jordan was only a few days but equally amazing!
