Magico Egitto

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.
