I was amazed to learn how they built the pyramids and that the Egyptians were performing surgeries in 2700 BC.

I have traveled extensively abroad and have even taken groups to South America so I feel comfortable in different countries, but I understand that many people do not. After reading everything about different travel companies I decided to visit and tour Egypt using EGYPT FOR AMERICANS. Upon arriving in Cairo I was met at the airport by someone authorized to be behind security. They walked me through getting my visa, security, and took my luggage to the van. Then I was taken to my hotel which was as promised a five star establishment. The next day I went down to the lobby where both my guide and driver were waiting on me. It was like that every day. While in Cairo, Luxor, or Aswan and everything in between my guides were there to share about the history and exquisite architecture that Egypt has to offer. These guides were professionals who knew more than I ever imagined. I was amazed to learn how they built the pyramids and that the Egyptians were performing surgeries in 2700 BC. While there I also met some wonderful people. I always felt safe and even went out on the street at night to just watch the people go about their daily lives. It was spectacular and I am very grateful for the travel package Egypt for Americans put together for me. The care I was given from the time I arrived until I left was impeccable. I would recommend EGYPT FOR AMERICANS for any American traveling to Egypt.Show more
