Great experience. Really enjoyed it!

We had a great time on this tour. The drivers Ahmed and Muhammad arrived on time and were extremely courteous and helpful. The drive to Safaga was smooth and it was an amazing experience to be able to see such majestic places and marvel at the historical sites. Thank you to our guide Hamada also who also got us on a boat ride across the Nile river (for an extra charge). Overall would highly recommend this tour!
