Land excursionsAll laid on for you all you had to do was be there ( all included in the price) plus optional excursions, coaches laid on and all entrances fees paid by the guide he has a very good knowlege not only of Egypt but of ther european way of life, spoke Egyptian, Arabic, English, French and German
Other tips and recommendationsIf like us you like it warm but not to hot, then travel between December and Mid February all trips out cater for the visitor going early and getting back before it becomes to hot average temperture was 70 to 85 degrees. Drink bottled water, salads were fine to eat
Note: 6 anchors= excellent... 1 anchor= very poor
