Reviews for Middle East

It was excellent! Thanks to the tour operator who is well-organized and didn’t miss a beat anywhere! They paired us with wonderful guides (Ahmed Hallel in Cairo) and all arrangements were made well and accessible throughout, and if not accessible, arrangements were made alternatively. We thoroughly enjoyed the journey and think it was well priced.read more

Great break with a packed programme in a great city of the world. Allow more time than the standard suggested itinerary if you want to do more than a whistle-stop tour of Cairo’s treasures.read more
