Great tours of all the sights of Egypt!! Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel!! Don’t miss this trip! Highly Recommend the company!!
We just returned from a 16 days tour throughout Egypt and it was a wonderful and rewarding trip! We had a very good and knowledgeable guide (thank you Walid!) who has provided us with a lot of interesting historical information in Cairo, Memphis and Alexandria. Everything has been well organised and we have been assisted in all our demands and questions ! After almost two years (because of COVID restrictions) we have finally enjoyed a full holiday. Very good program put together by Ancient Egypt Tours! Silvia D
