“Our Guide Mohammed Gobran is superb in his proffesion and so knowledgeable and without this the opportunity to get the most from the tours would not be as great. in addition he is a really nice fella to be with so just excellent all round. The only negative point we would raise is that until the day our Cruise began we did not know which ship we would be on and we now know there is a wide range in the quality of the ships so our tip is to beware of this . Many thanks Mohammed, Nige & Katie”

“This trip has many moving parts which is why I wanted professionals to coordinate it for me. I booked at late notice, less than 24 hours before it started. Arwa went above the call of duty to pull it all together for me, finding late notice flights, keeping me informed of pickups, checking if I needed anything more, and tracking down knowledgeable local tour guides for me at every stop. It meant I had a brilliant cruise seeing many of the amazing highlights of Egypt without having to get stressed about personally finding/dealing with a lot of intermediaries. Bravo Arwa.”
