Mar 2025 • Friends Viaggio bellissimo anche se impegnativo. Visto luoghi da rimanere a bocca aperta,bello il misto tra navigazione sul Nilo e resort. Una mega approvazione va a Mamdouh El Solh, guida preparatissima, spiritosa non ci ha mai fatto annoiare. Complimenti vivissimi.

Mar 2025 • Couples My husband and I had a great time. The agency has arranged a tailor-made itinerary for us, providing great accommodation, excellent guides in Italian, an efficient transport service and assistance in Italian for the duration of the trip. During our stay we requested some additions to the program (during the month of Ramadan and most archaeological sites and museums close very early, between 15 and 16) and we were always satisfied.
