I really loved this tour! Everyone (rightfully) associates Egypt with the pyramids and other marvelous antiquities, but Egypt has some stunning nature and fascinating natural history as well. This tour showed me some splendid examples of this, which I adored! Furthermore, I couldn't have asked for a better guide than Abdallah. I always felt like he was genuinely interested in me and we had some very nice conversations about our shared interests and life in Egypt. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and knows a lot about natural history (as well as egyptology). The driver was very good too. I had a comfortable and smooth ride and he was perfectly on time. All in all a great experience, which I would recommend to everyone visiting Egypt!
