Speaking for our 4 person group on the Nov 22-Dec 1 2023 Deluxe Travel 10 day Jordan and Egypt tour…we had a blast. Mohammed Masoud met us at the airport in Amman and was a professional, knowledgeable, friendly guide and driver. Wasn’t too keen on our La Casa hotel, although clean it has seen better days especially the bathroom. Breakfast was lovely and staff very accommodating. Our Dead Sea Experience at the Holiday Inn was fantastic and Mohammed provided so much insight and information that our drive to Wadi Rum went by quick. Wadi Rum was a great experience and we enjoyed the Aladdin Camp. Only wished we had the four hour desert tour to see more but just means another trip. Petra was a highlight in Jordan. Everyone needs to visit this UNESCO site. We got our steps in and some!
Returning to Cairo,Oman met us at the airport and Omar was our driver. Again professional very caring individuals. The Steingenberger Pyramids hotel was divine. Our room gave us a view of the Pyramids and the new Egyptian Museum. Meals were satisfying and staff a delight. Sizou was phenomenal with providing the tour of the Giza Pyramid Complex and the GEM. Omar made sure we were safely transported everywhere and by the way each guide for our entire trip made sure we had cold water and appropriate bathroom stops.
We flew to Aswan and was met by Ahmed who was our guide for the remainder of our time in Upper Egypt. Our driver was also Ahmed. We enjoyed the High Dam and Philae Temple. We did the optional felluca Nile journey and visit to the Nubian Village before boarding our river cruise boat. We also opted for Abu Simbel and so glad we did. What an experience. Again cannot praise enough the knowledge that all guides provided but Sizou in Cairo and Ahmed for Upper Egypt were beyond excellent!
We enjoyed our Nile Cruise and the wonders of Kom Ombo,Edfu,Valley of the Kings,Hatsheput, Colossi of Memnon and Karnak. We returned to Cairo to continue the rest of our journey. The overnight at The Radisson Blue was restful and the hotel beautiful. Egypt has so much more to explore and if and when we do return we will choose Deluxe Travel. Thanks again to all who willingly assisted us Mohammed Masoud,Oman,Omar,Sizou,Ahmed,Ahmed and those who’s names I may have not remembered. We so appreciate you making our experience safe,educational and enjoyable.
