很幸运我们再次有Wael作导游。Wael的解说依然专业而风趣,在Kom el Shoqafa我们为跌死的驴子而感怀;我们知道庞培柱上没有庞培的头;Wael还会主动补充很多有趣的背景资料,如阿历山大城的天然气产业,有轨电车和湖边的豪宅。Wael帮我们照的合照为我们在朋友圈赢了很多赞。特别值得一提的是午餐,安排在海滨的fish market ,景美还第一次尝到了Mullet胭脂鱼,收获满满。

Maged, with Gem Explore, is an excellent tour guide. My wife and I visited Egypt and spend 10 days in total touring all the major attractions in Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Aswan.
Maged was our tour guide on most of our tours in Cairo and during our trip to Alexandria. He is a very experienced and knowledgeable guide who has a passion for Egypt and Egyptian history which will be evident as you travel with him. Prior to my trip, I had done some reading about Egypt, (which I encourage every tourist to do). We had long and meaningful discussions during our tours and his knowledge regarding ancient Egyptian history came through. Maged is not a typical tour guide who recites information that he has memorized. Maged provides real historical information and the more knowledge you have about Egypt, the more detailed and enjoyable your tour with Maged will be.
My wife and I had a very good experience in Egypt on all our tours. I have remained in touch with Maged even after my trip and build a bond of friendship with him.
