Egypt the civillization is impossible to truly experience without knowing hieroglyphs. We had the joy of having a very funny big daddy Ismail Haroun as our tour guide and family on this trip. He was also the one we trusted to bargain good prices from us and kept us safe from all possible tricks of hustling vendors at the tourist sites. Even the subtle notion of tipping was breached thoroughly as a culture to prepare us. The knowledge of an egyptologist past and present is indispensable to making the most of the trip and big daddy lived up to our expectations at every turn.
The team of the cruise Lady Mary was amiable, hygienic and the smile of the manager Ehab Mohammed greeting us at every turn is unparalleled.
We took an extra option and the hot air balloon over the valley of kings during sunrise ... absolutely majestic!
