Driver was nice. Guide good informed but not that amused as it was clear, that we wouldn't like to visit Papyrus fabrique, carpet manifacture and oil production. Its also not planmed in the program, but it looks like they get a commision for bringing tourists there. Felucca ride was done by a tourist motor boat for just 45 minutes and botteled water wasnt included ...
