Super day

Unfortunately we could not do a balloon ride due to the weather. However, our guide Aladdin spread a nice day to us - he explained everything perfectly. Has been great for the children and has made our sadness about the missing balloon ride away again! We had a nice, successful day with him, learned a lot. Aladdin is highly recommended!! Great guide!!

Nice tour in Egypt

The tour was good and we enjoyed it very much. The guide named Mohamed at Luxor had a lot of knowledge.
