i contacted Lady Egypt as i had read good reviews about them and the prices were reasonable. Abeer was the lady that took care of my request and due to coronavirus, we extended our mails over one year + due to Corona. i have no words to appreciate the patience of Abeer as i changed the trip route once and again...thank you Abeer! once there, Islam took care of us in a very effective and professional way. His very best interest was us to feel that it would be the Trip of our life. he even prepared some surprise for one of our friends that had his bday during our stay. thanks Islam! the tour guides were very professional too. both of them were called Mahmoud - the one in Cairo was lovely and the one in the Nile cruise was a great companion. so again - no complains! all in all - a round trip to remember
