George went above and beyond even going off the ship in the middle of the night to find super glue to fix broken glasses…absolutely amazing service and always with a smile! I cannot recommend this trip enough… and do the extras! The hot air balloon trip, Abu Simbel… every day was more incredible than the last. If you’re on the fence… book it! You’ll have an amazing adventure!

I would recommend this trip to those wanting to see all the highlights of Egypt and Jordan safely. For the extra activities, I would recommend Abu Simbel and the hot air balloon ride at Luxor. It’s a bit more expensive but make sure to book the sunrise hot air balloon ride. It is definitely worth it. Make sure to bring some $1,$5,$10USD to use. Not everyone takes the credit card. When exchanging your money to EGP or JD, avoid the airport. When you arrive at the hotel you will meet your tour guide, ask him where to exchange money. The rate will be better. For hotels, their star system is not the same as Canadian star system. Expect 3 star hotels. For food, you will be eating a lot at the hotels or buffets. You will get tired of it. Please remember that you don’t need to eat at the place your tour guide takes you. Leave the buffet and find a local restaurant nearby using google map. Not only will you save money but the food is so much better. I would definitely recommend upgrading to a flight from Cairo to Aswan. It will be worth it! And Aswan is nice so you get to have an extra night in Aswan. You could upgrade to the train instead but the train is loud and the bathroom is gross. For Day 4, ask if you can stay on the cruise ship instead of the felucca. The felucca is freezing and you will get eaten by mosquitos. And the bathroom in the felucca is disgusting. If I could change the itinerary of this trip, I would skip the last day in Cairo (day10) and go to Jordan. It would also be nicer if the flight from Cairo to Amman is earlier so you have more time in Amman (but this would be hard to control with airline schedule). With that extra day in Jordan, it would be nicer if we could stay overnight at Dead Sea enjoying the mud mask and floating. With the current itinerary, we only had 30min at the sea and felt rushed. The staff actually shut the water off so we couldn’t wash off the mud on our faces. Overall, this trip was one to remember.

The organization was perfect, and everything went smoothly. Our local guide, George, was especially excellent – very knowledgeable and always took great care of us. Every moment of the trip was memorable, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to travel to Egypt!
