Sonesta Star Goddess

• Excellent
  October 2018 - We just wanted to drop you a line following our excellent holiday with yourselves arranged through Elaine's Travel in Marlborough. In particular we much enjoyed the Nile cruise starting from Luxor on 22nd October on the Sonesta vessel. Our enjoyment and appreciation of the trip was much enhanced by the excellent guide you had engaged Mahomed who lives in Luxor. He was extremely knowledgeable, very well organised, and an excellent and engaged communicator. He really enhanced our experience. Stuart and Bernadette
• April 2018 - Highly recommendable cruise
  I would like to say what a wonderful time we had cruising on the Nile on the Sonesta Star Goddess earlier in April. All the arrangements were smooth and flawless. Mohamed, our guide, was knowledgeable, calm and patient. The crew were kind and obliging, always with a smile. And, as for the suites, they were amazingly spacious and well maintained. Highly recommendable in every way. Monica - Somerset.
• April 2018 - Marvellous trip up the Nile
  Just back from the most marvellous trip up the Nile(April 2018) from Luxor to Aswan with the highlight being the visit to Abu Simbel. The whole cruise was well organised and planned complete with our most wonderful guide, Mohamed, who acted as guide, banker, personal shopper, dance teacher and nanny too! What a star! His fantastic knowledge was invaluable and nothing was too much trouble for him. We were a small group of 9 making the whole experience great fun and rather like being “family”. We had lots of laughs and all became great friends by the end of the week. The boat the Sonesta Star Goddess was very luxurious with plenty of room taking only 62 people in total and felt very personal. The crew were very friendly and helpful and we were amused to find our towels in the shape of either a swan or a crocodile each evening. The food was great and it was a real plus eating all meals on board thereby reducing the risk of “you know what”. Would recommend the cruise to anyone and would not hesitate to go again.

Sonesta Amirat Dahabiya

• Nile Cruise October 2023
  17 October 2023 The management of our travel arrangements “on the ground “was faultless. The organisation and implementation of our schedule was punctual and helpful. We particularly welcomed the assistance and assurance of M when dealing with the turmoil of Cairo airport. His understanding of that chaos was invaluable on the day we flew back to London. All your representatives/ colleagues in Egypt were extremely friendly and accommodating. The knowledge of the guides was invaluable as we grappled with the names / roles of the various gods, kings, and queens. In this context the contribution of Waleed needs to be highlighted, not only regarding the archaeology but also his overall guidance and attitude. His enthusiasm for the history added to our understanding. The members of the crew of the Sonesta Amirat were diligent and charming. Whilst the available space is cramped, we were amazed at the standard of the food we were served and the fun we had in our interactions with the crew (including some crazy “dancing “). We had a wonderful time and wish to place on record our appreciation of the help we had from you in England and your representatives in Egypt. Thanks to you all we were able to concentrate on the history and people of Egypt. And the tomb of Nefertari was truly outstanding- it was incredibly beautiful. Many thanks John – Suffolk.
• Dahabiya cruise and Cairo Feb 2020
  Thank you for your help in arranging our holiday. Your suggestions worked out very well. As you told us our guide (Fouad) met us airside of security and helped us obtain our visas. We then met Mustafa our driver and they both helped us with our luggage. The Le Meridien Hotel (your recommendation) was very good. Next morning we met “Tuna” our guide for the Pyramids etc. She was excellent, although we did have trouble hearing her at times due to background noise. We then transferred to our boat at Aswan and met LOAY AHMED who was to be our guide for the rest of the trip. He was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and attentive throughout we couldn’t have had anyone better. Our cabin was comfortable with an excellent shower etc. The food on board was very good with plenty of choice. I came home 2 kilos heavier. There were another 6 guests on board and we all got on very well . Dress was informal and relaxed and the ladies did not get the chance to put on the smart frocks! We were (Including the guides) caught out by a cold north wind. We ended using our bath robes to keep warm when dining at night. It all added to the fun. I can not praise the crew enough. My wife has a problem with a leg and the crew competed to be the ones to help her when leaving and joining the boat. The stewards were very attentive and looked after us very well. The 14th. February was our golden wedding anniversary. Our cake was brought up onto deck by the crew singing and dancing. It was the most lovely time and I am not afraid to say, brought tears to my eyes. It truly made it a most enjoyable occasion. Thank you for arranging the cake. It was made on the boat and was beautiful. On the 15th, we left our boat for the last time and were ferried over in a small boat to the far side of the river. As I hope you can tell, we really enjoyed our holiday. David …………. A short extra note from Sandra. The entire holiday exceeded expectations and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your company to anyone wanting a similar trip. All involved were extremely professional, but also approachable.It was so good to have such a happy crew. The cake, singing, clapping, music for our 50th was a big surprise and much appreciated – thank you for organising that. Sandra
• Dahabiya cruise Feb 2020
  Our guide Loay Ahmed was amazing, very knowledgeable could not do enough for us and we had a lot of laughs with him. The Dahabiya and cruise was great, all I expected and more. The Dahabiya cabin was very comfortable with a nice on suite. There was a little lounge you could use below deck. However we did not a German couple had drinks in it most nights the other four passengers like us tended to stay up on deck chatting and watching the world go by. On deck where we spent most of our time when on board had sun loungers comfortable chairs and a hot tub. We ate all our meals on deck great food breakfast was cereal, fruit salad, omelettes, boiled eggs and lots more. Lunch was buffet style with four courses, dinner again four course but set meal. Food was amazing. The crew without exception were very friendly and again could not do enough for you, I and another passenger even had a go at the helm a few times. The whole trip was very relaxed and peaceful even the excursions. Our guides worked with us if we wanted to change something or add something. We usually set of at about 9am for the trips and found we missed the big crowd's which started to appear as we were leaving. No trip was rushed we were able to take our time and after he had explained and shown everything we had free time to go around by ourselves if we wished.
• Dahabiya Nile Cruise & Cairo - 10 Nights Feb 2019
  Feb 2019 - After planning and anticipating this trip for over 6 months, we spent 10 days in Egypt in February and our holiday surpassed all our expectations. We were a group of five, with three of the group traveling from the USA and the other two traveling from Ireland. We booked with Discover Egypt because they offered the combination package of Cairo and a Nile Cruise on a Dahabiya. Discover Egypt worked tirelessly on the planning and the logistics and making sure that we were able to squeeze in every sight we wanted to see along the way. We were met in the airport, helped through the visa controls and then escorted to a welcome van. We were even helped through the check in process at our hotel, the Marriott Mena House. The Mena House was lovely and tranquil, with an amazing view of the Giza Pyramids. I want to go back to Egypt just to stay there again. Each morning in Cairo we were met promptly by our driver with the van and our guide. Raham, who was so much more for us than a tour guide - mostly guide, but also group photographer, shopping director and culture interpreter - was fabulous. Our transportation to the Cairo Airport for our flight to Aswan, was also seamless, and we were met at the Aswan Airport without incident. A Dahabiya is a small boat. Ours, the Sonesta Amarit, had a total of five regular cabins and two suites. Our group, along with another couple who had booked with Discover Egypt, had our own guide along for the cruise. Assem, just as our guide in Cairo had been, was excellent. He was very accommodating for our group, and unselfishly shared the history and his love for his country with us. He went out of his way, at every turn, to ensure that we were enjoying our holiday. Our experience with Discover Egypt was, from start to finish, simply amazing. We won’t hesitate to book with them again when we start planning our next vacation. Jamie and friends - USA and Ireland

Steigenberger Legacy

• Such a magical holiday for us all
  September 6 2019 I have just come back from a holiday to Egypt with my sister and her husband. They were celebrating their 50th wedding and I just wanted to thank everyone involved for making this such a magical holiday for us all. My sister and I have travelled many times with you but it was the first time we could persuade my brother in law to come. We had 3 nights in Cairo and then 7 nights cruise on the Steigenberger Legacy. We had an upgrade to a pyramid view and then on the cruise a celebration cake. It was really wonderful and our Egyptologist on the cruise Eslam was so attentive and friendly we can’t thank him enough. All in all a wonderful time and my brother in law like us has fallen in love with Egypt. Sheila
• Surpassed all expectations
  June 2019 I wanted to express my delight and offer my thanks following our recent trip to Egypt. We have never been on a holiday quite like this and it truly surpassed all our expectations. From the moment we landed in Egypt to our departure we could hardly have wanted more assistance at every turn. We found ourselves on a boat with just 19 guests and a staff of 70 to look after us. Our party of four had its own excellent Egyptologist and tour guide. The food and care on the boat was superb. Every day of the cruise brought something new and we were enthralled by the marvellous history and superb scenery. Our time in Cairo, when we are left to ourselves, was generally very good. We were able to see the Pyramids, Egypt museum and the Coptic area with little problem. We felt entirely safe the whole time and would heartily commend Discover Egypt for organising such a memorable time. So, thank you once again. It is highly likely that we would repeat this holiday after a few years and would be recommending others to make the most of the opportunity to discover Egypt for themselves John - London.
• above and beyond...
  Just back 24 September. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed my time both in Cairo and on the Legacy on my recent holiday…I was very comfortable on the Legacy and felt very looked after by the restaurant and kitchen staff who went above and beyond to cater for my vegetarian diet. All the guides, staff, drivers, crew were impeccable and looked after me and my fellow travellers….I am already now saving up to use you again with my eye on the Jordan trip (any special deals for repeat travellers? lol). Simon,London.
• Steigenberger Legacy 24/9/18
  Just back 01 October - I feel that I must send you this email to express our gratitude and satisfaction with our week aboard the Legacy. My wife and I could not have been more pleased with the suite that you arranged for us, and we will certainly be using Discover Egypt again. The vessel, staff and facilities were second to none. Please accept our sincere thanks for a wonderful, informative and relaxing holiday. Kind regards Steven and Janet
• Legacy May 2018
  Excellent from start to finish Please do not put off a visit to Egypt, having done 10 days we were looked after from the time we stepped off the first flight to the moment we stepped on the flight home. In between we had a great 3 days in bustling Cairo staying at Le Meridian Pyramids and a fabulous cruise down the Nile on the Steigenberger Legacy. I have learned so much, seen astonishing sites and met some amazing people, Our guide on the boat/visits Walid was very knowledgable and friendly and was excellent with the group of eight we had. The boat staff were outstanding as was the food. The only slight problem was the temperature climbed to an unseasonable 45 degrees, but hey you can`t have everything. Egypt is a stunning country, the people are so welcoming and they need tourism to rise again. Go if you can, soon! Lynne
• Legacy - January 2018
  Just thought we would drop you a line to let you know how much we enjoyed our holiday in Egypt. All was good - the boat, the food, the sightseeing, the guides all excellent and what better way to pass a few days in January than sailing gently (a little too gently at one stage when a sand bank slowed things down a little too much! and caused a small change of schedule) down the Nile with a some bird watching thrown in and the local scenery to admire. Thanks for a great trip. Peter and Pat - London UK
• Feb 2018 Wonderful Holiday
  We returned from a wonderful holiday with Discover Egypt last Monday. We particularly would like to sing the praises of our guide who was very thoughtful in her planning for my husband, who has Parkinson's Disease and kindly arranged a wheelchair for him at the museum. Her knowledge was amazing but she was able to convey it with such skill and enthusiasm that we have retained a large amount of the information she shared. We were also very grateful for her flexibility in taking us to the Coptic Church area of old Cairo when we asked questions about the church. All in all we had nothing but praise for her! Those who met us and returned us from the airport were great and the transport provided was also great. Joy – Cheshire.UK
• Legacy - April 2018
  Just a quick thank you for organising our trip that commenced 2nd April. Even though I am a travel agent it was worth paying for the expertise of Discover Egypt and Wings were brilliant throughout. Janice - London UK
• Legacy - Wonderful
  19 Feb 2018 - Just want to say thank you for a wonderful Nile trip on the Steigenberger cruiser. the food the guide the trips were wonderful. Margaret – Gwent.
• Feb 2018 - great holiday
  Feb 26 2018 - We have just returned from a fantastic holiday in Egypt. We didn't get chance to fill out the client questionnaire before we left for Luxor and wanted to say that one of the highlights of our time in Cairo was having Amany as our guide. She was fantastic at every level and made those two days very special for the four of us. The other person who was brilliant was Matthew or Matta who looked after the restaurant on the Steigenberger- his help and attentiveness was superb. He really looked after us. Thanks again to Discover Egypt. Mark- Cheshire.
• Jan 2018
  New Year cruise 17/18 Just a quick message to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our trip down and up the Nile, which we returned from yesterday. We were particularly impressed by our tour guide Walid who was superb - please give him pat on the back, if that is possible.Looking forward to our next trip Peter - Kent UK

• Cairo and cruise November 2023
  Having recently returned from my trip I just wanted to thank you for all your help. I had the adventure of a lifetime and everything was absolutely wonderful. I think your company is excellent and I will recommend it to everyone Susan
• Cairo and cruise November 2023
  A big thank you to Discover Egypt for an amazing 10 day holiday 17th November. 3 nights in the Kempinski Hotel Cairo followed by 7 nights cruise down the nile on MS Tulip. Our egyptologists- Karim, Ahmed and Omar were fantastic throughout, and the sites, temples we visited were mind blowing. Still on a high
• Tulip Nile Cruise December 2023
  Just to let you know & you can advice Philip, the trip is beyond my expectations. Everything is going to plan & the so well put together & brilliant guides.
• MS Tulip April 2023
  We are now safely returned from our 2 week adventure in Egypt which was truly amazing! We are so grateful for the excellent trip you so skilfully put together at rather short notice for us. Every detail was superbly organised from Visas and transport to the airport to the 6 flights and all transfers and hotel bookings. Everything went so smoothly and we learnt so much from the excellent Egyptology Guides who supported us so well around pyramids, temples , tombs and museums. We even tried a camel ride and watched belly dancing and many Egyptian traditional events. Thank you so much for your wonderfully supportive help, advice and assistance for this very happy and memorable holiday. Kind Regards, Chris and Alice - booked through Malvern World Travel
• Cairo and cruise April 2023
  Discover Egypt Classic Egypt 10 Nights Hotel Ramses Hilton Cairo This is a large busy modern hotel set in the city centre. It is an ideal location for sightseeing in Cairo and Giza. It has many restaurants with varied menu choices. We found the breakfast buffet and evening buffet the best option. The public areas were clean and tidy and the reception area always busy. Our room was spacious clean and comfortable. All the staff that we spoke to we friendly and helpful. Our stay was short but very enjoyable. We booked both optional tours the first to the Great Pyramids with our wonderful guide Saad Zaki who was both interesting and informative. The second days tour took us to the Egyptian Museum and the beautiful Citadel again accompanied by our guide Saad who would ensure that our trip was both fun and flexible to suit our needs. 10/10 MS Tulip The Nile After a short hassle free flight, we boarded this elegant vessel at Luxor. Our cabin on the second deck was clean comfortable and surprisingly spacious. Our next 7 days were full on visiting some of the ancient world’s treasures. This time accompanied by our friendly informative and humorous guide Mostafa. The facilities on board were of a high standard our only comment would be that the buffet food could be a little hotter, it was tasty though. This is a comment only not a criticism. We took the long and exhausting trip to Abu Simbel which was magnificent even for me a partially sighted traveller We all had a magnificent trip and if you get a chance please go with Discover Egypt and their local guides at Wings Travel. 10/10 Stephen and Nicola.
• Cruise 11 February 2023
  We just wanted to thank you for advising and arranging a superb adventure for Jo, Sam, and myself. The trip was brilliant in nearly every aspect …. Discover Egypt had everything organised to the minute. Everyone we met couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly and on reflection I can’t believe the amount we have crammed into 7 days. We would recommend Discover Egypt again.
• Cruise 03 February 2023
  we are back from Egypt. Thank you very much for organising this wonderful trip. Everything went according to the itinerary. I must mention a special thanks to Mr Walled our guide from Luxor to Aswan. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient.
• Nile Cruise 16 January 2023
  This is just to let you know how much we enjoyed our holiday to Egypt. We returned on the 26th of Jan having enjoyed a wonderful time, and absorbing so much Egyptian culture our brains were fit to burst. All the arrangements ran smoothly, the boat was lovely, as were all the staff on board. Our fellow passengers were interesting companions whose company we much enjoyed We’d like to stress the amazing guide we had whilst on board the MS Tulip, he was so thoughtful, well informed, and considerate. A trained archaeologist his specialist knowledge was excellent as was his organisation of excursions. He took time out to guide us through local souks and spice stores. His name is Mohamed Fouad - we cannot recommend him highly enough, perhaps you might be able to let Discover Egypt know how much we appreciated his attention and thoughtfulness. Cairo was a real contrast to the Nile especially the traffic! Again, we had a lovely guide, Nivene. She escorted us to the monuments and museum and found lovely typical places for our lunch. She was great company We are safely home in rainy Berkshire after an amazing time in Egypt. Everything was very well organised - the management and staff on the cruise went out of their way to make us feel at home - the food was excellent. I can understand why you have returned to Egypt - hopefully we can too someday. Thank you once again for your help in planning our trip
• Nile cruise March 17th, 2023
  I thought you would like to see this feedback from my clients travelling now.... wanted to let you know that we've had a great first 2 days. We have the below the feedback which we would be grateful if you can pass to Discover Egypt and Wing Tours. Particularly if they have an employee award scheme. "We had the most amazing time with our Egyptologist and Driver on 18th March from Mena House to the Pyramids & Sphinx and Sakkara. Plus, the following day 19th March to the Egyptian Museum and Citadel. Our Egyptologist hit the right note with excellent information on what we were seeing and giving us a real flavour of the history of Egypt. He has a great way of engaging with us and bringing ancient Egypt to light We enjoyed our conversations with him, and he made us feel very much at ease. We would highly recommend both our Egyptologist and the driver too who was courteous and ensure we were always comfortable”.
• February 2023
  Nile cruise 10 February 2023 My partner, and I were lucky enough to go on one of your Nile Cruises from 10th to 20th February made through Miles Morgan in Nailsworth. We were accompanied throughout the tour by Mr Mohamed Fouad from Luxor Tours, and he was so exceptionally good that we want to write, on behalf of our group, to commend his services. Our group of eight English tourists witnessed a whole host of guides at the many sites we visited and saw how they shouted and scrambled in quite physical scrums at times as various vendors wanted to take us in boats, horse drawn carriages or other minibuses. On the other hand, Mr Fouad was calm, firm, and polite, and our transport was always in the right place at the right time. Mr Fouad was a gentle, gentleman who had extensive knowledge of history, geography and politics and the story of the region was his passion, yet he briefed us in a simple and interesting way without being pompous or condescending. In short, he was outstanding, and he made the holiday for us all. We will never forget him. It would be wonderful if you could find a way to convey to Mr Fouad what a difference, he made to our Nile experience and how much we appreciated his professionalism, humour, and organisational skills. He is a good man, and we would love it if you could pass on our appreciation to him. Crichton and Amanda

• MS Tulip Nile cruise
  Cairo and MS Tulip cruise March 2023 We used Discover Egypt; very professional they organised two cabins for us as I snore loudly! Sorting out a Visa is very easy, just google Egypt Visa and check that it’s the official eVisa Egyptian government website. Follow the instructions and fill in the form making sure you copy exactly the details in your passport, any mistake will result in a NO, and cost you your fee. You will get PDF versions of your Visa emailed to you. When you arrive at Cairo airport just join the queue. Transfer to the hotel was fun and smooth, again great support from the staff on the ground, despite it being late at night. The organisation in Egypt from start to finish was exceptional, the Steigenberger Hotel with view of the Pyramids was delightful, food was great. We organised a couple of private tours before we left the UK as our son has ADHD and needed something small. Transfer to Luxor went smoothly, again very well organised, and soon we were on our boat M/S Tulip. Brilliant staff, friendly and attentive, the boat was clean, comfortable, and not too big which was very nice. All I can say about the tours and guide were exceptional. Ahmad Mozamel was the best guide we have ever had, not only was he an expert Egyptologist, but the way also he explained the history and took us to important locations within temples to show different aspects of the Pharaoh, Roman and Greek influences was exceptional. During the 7 days he let slip that he worked for Dr Zahi Hawass (the top main in Egypt) and frequently took part in archaeological exploration and digs, and had a Masters in Egyptology, he was a passionate professional. Food on board was excellent, lots of choice, well prepared and very tasty. There is enough to suit all tastes unless you are impossibly fussy!! Entertainment was fun and typical of a Nile Cruise with Egyptian night, Belly Dancing, local musicians etc. Quality and quantity of drink available was great and sensibly priced. There is a coffee machine on Deck 3 towards the front of the boat past the fitness room if you needed a quick fix at any time. The whole holiday was just brilliant, our son loved it and we will be going back to Egypt again soon. Elaine, Julian and Justin
• MS Tulip Feb 2022
  I would like to express our thanks for a wonderful holiday to Egypt. It was so well organised, everyone was friendly and helpful. Your guides were very knowledgeable. It was my 60th Birthday while I was in holiday and the boat did a surprise celebration and a cake of the event, without any of our party saying anything, which was lovely. I don't think the holiday could have been any better and I would certainly recommend your company to our friends. Well done to you all. Karen
• MS Tulip 21 March 2022
  Tulip Nile cruise March 2022. We had a really wonderful holiday courtesy of Discover Egypt. The MS Tulip was a really spacious and comfortable boat, our bedroom was much larger than I was expecting – plenty of storage space and an excellently comfy bed. It helped that the other guests were good fun and the excursions were well thought out and didn’t disappoint. Omar, the trips’ Egyptologists was an absolute delight. He was knowledgeable, passionate and hardworking. It was a truly lovely holiday and definitely exceeded our expectations. All at head office seems to know their stuff and offered flexibility when we needed it, so an overall professional and hassle free experience. Thank you all! Chrissie - Oxfordshire.
• Full of superlatives - FEB 2022
  Steigenberger Pyramids and MS Tulip February 2022 Just got back from our 10-day trip to Cairo (3 nights) followed by 7 nights on MS Tulip. What a fantastic trip full of superlatives. Particularly high points include: Amazing guides (Amhad Badawy in Cairo and Ahmad Al Mozamel on Tulip) who combined huge enthusiasm/positivity, vast knowledge with an ability to convey it in remarkable English, and an unstinting dedication to providing a 1st class client experience Very attentive customer service by the Wings reps who met us at the airport and organised transfers etc removing hassle and worry - especially valuable given my mother-in-law (Octogenarian) was with us. Fabulous overall standard of service from every member of staff, great accommodation, facilities and food on MS Tulip. I would thoroughly recommend this trip and will refer friends and family to you Jeremy Shropshire
• Brilliant - 09 Dec Tulip
  just returned from your one week trip on the MS Tulip, Luxor to Aswan and back, and wanted to let you know it was excellent. Exceeded our expectations in every department; beautiful ship, spacious cabin, great food, wonderful friendly staff, really really faultless. And we were blown away by the excursions to the amazing temples and tombs, all vividly brought to life by Ahmed, our incredibly knowledgeable and attentive tour guide who was brilliant. We were looked after every step of the way, from touch down in Luxor, to boarding the plane to leave a week later. I always like to review our trips honestly, but rarely are they so positive. But in this case, thoroughly well deserved. Thanks for a brilliant trip, we shall certainly be recommending you. Brian
• Wonderful Trip - Tulip Dec 2019
  Dear Philip, we're now back home from our holiday 10 days. I'd like to say we had a wonderful trip to Egypt and everything was top notch, the boat and staff were 101% and our historical visits were exceptional, I would like to praise our great tour guide Muhammed for making it a holiday to remember. His knowledge and enthusiasm reverberated through the group and nothing was too much for him, be it sites, questions, fun or even locating ATM machines, he certainly was the cherry on top of our holiday.

• MS TULIP 29 April 2019
  MS Tulip - Luxor to Aswan 7 day Nile Cruise 29 April 2019 Myself and my family have just returned from an amazing holiday on MS Tulip. It was the first visit to Egypt for my family and my seventh as I love the country and people very much, however, this was my first experience sailing on this beautiful boat. The fabulous food and service onboard is second to none. The Manager and staff could not do enough to make this a memorable holiday for all of us, all so friendly and helpful. The decor is stunning, cabins spacious, all areas so clean, kept to such a high standard. The guide, Omar, was fabulous as usual, very knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure we had a wonderful time, not only during the inclusive trips but also a coffee shop experience in his hometown. I can not rate this holiday company and MS Tulip & staff highly enough. Thank you for a memorable & wonderful holiday yet again! Carol, Somerset
• Whole week on Tulip amazing
  We have just returned from one of your cruises on the MS Tulip (31st December to 7th January). I would like to pass on my thanks to everyone who made our holiday such an experience. All the staff were wonderful, helpful and the whole week was amazing. However, I want to make a special reference to our guide, Mohammed. What an absolute treasure you have there. Such knowledge and a lovely manner. As an archaeologist myself, with having had very little previous dealings with Egyptian Archaeology, I had a lot of questions and he showed so much patience. He really is an asset to your trips and I cannot praise him enough. I do hope he continues to work for you as he such a fabulous representative for both yourselves and Egypt. Many thanks again for a wonderful experience. Penny - Shropshire.
• Nov 2018.. we have discovered Egypt!
  November 2018 - We had a great time on our 10 day Egypt tour / Nile cruise. We never had a problem and everything from meet & greet to hotels, cruises and tours were all looked after and properly arranged. Our Cairo guide, Mrs. Amal (Hope), was very helpful and amazingly knowledgeable. She interacted with the group and was very pleasant and sociable, even after those long, long days. The love for her job and pride for Egypt was evident. Our guide in Luxor, Mohamed Fouad, was equally up to the task! Mr. Fouad was always available to resolved issues and went out of his way to accommodate our wishes...even going off the tourist path to experience some amazing Turkish coffee at local coffee houses. His knowledge of the sites are exceptional, his kindness refreshing, his professionalism outstanding. Combining all of the above, from the time we set foot in Cairo, to the time we lifted it in Luxor, we can truly say we have discovered Egypt!

• Ultimate Long Cruise, Cairo to Aswan
  We booked the Ultimate Long Cruise, Cairo to Aswan which departed 2nd May 2019 and wanted to pass on our thanks to the Discover Egypt team for providing a fantastic cruise and itinerary. We have cruised on the Nile between Luxor and Aswan a number of times and also cruised from Aswan to Abu Simbel on Lake Nasser but had been cancelled from the ‘long cruise’ twice (with another travel agent) due to the political climate in Egypt at the time, so to actually have completed this trip this was a major achievement for us. It certainly was a unique experience and the trip definitely lived up to our expectations – we genuinely had the time of our lives. We were very fortunate to have an excellent, incredibly knowledgeable and passionate Egyptologist/Guide, Mahmoud Azab Omda. Mahmoud greatly enhanced our Ancient Egyptian experience with his passionate storytelling, as well as helping us understand modern-day Egypt. He looked after us with great care even though most of the trip was during Ramadan. With only 4 in our group – it was almost a private tour! Unfortunately for the Jaz Royale team there were only 13 tourists on board but, as a result, we were pampered with table service at Lunch and dinner (not cost effective to put on buffet meals each day) and all the usual amenities and services were available to us. As an added bonus, we were also pleased to be able to disembark at towns along the way for a walk and coffee after dinner, albeit with an armed escort numbering more than us! In Sohag we were welcomed by officials from the Tourist Office and given flags and guidebooks before being taken to a craft market (not staged for us) with absolutely no obligation to buy anything – just full of very welcoming local Egyptians bearing free drinks and sweets! (needless to say, we did purchase a couple of items!). We would highly recommend this tour, it’s just a shame for all concerned that there were so few tourists on the boat when we went.

Just a quick message to say that my client had a fantastic time on her Long Cruise from Cairo and has been full of praise for yourselves (Discover Egypt), the organization, transfers, sightseeing, ship comfort, staff and food etc. It was a wonderful trip - plus they felt safe and protected.

Jaz Yakouta Dahabiya

• Review of Jaz Yakouta Nile cruise 20-28th January 2020
  A gorgeous, luxurious, exclusive, delightful boat run really efficiently and with great attention and grace. Lovely having the tug as no petrol fumes or thrumming motors, as if we were actually sailing, and mooring up quietly, well away from the main cruise ships was a real bonus. Cabins and bathrooms very comfortable and clean, and larger than I expected, with dressing gowns, slippers, shampoos, shower gels etc. all provided and even a magnifying mirror and hairdryer. 7-star luxury. Beautiful decks and comfortable indoor living room with an excellent library of informative and beautiful books. Wonderful and abundant food cooked to order, and kitchen coped well with the ‘gluten-free’ meals that one of our group required. All staff delightful, attentive but discreet. The cultural tours ran without hitch, all transport on time. Was pleased to be in a small group with a private guide. Highly recommend Jaz Yakouta, and Discover Egypt - a big thumbs up all round. Would do it again in a trace. Belinda
• Jaz Yakouta and Conrad Cairo 10 nights Feb 2020
  Wings: They couldn’t be faulted - looked after us so well. Special mention of the Cairo representative Ahmed who was incredibly helpful and efficient. He kept track of us during the whole trip with little messages. Airport meet-ups were very easy. He even came out early the last morning to the airport hotel to see us off which was not necessary. He treated us like his elderly parents. I must also mention the good drivers and comfortable vehicles. Guides: The guides provided by Wings were good and excellent in the case of our Cairo guide Amira who accompanied us on the Guizeh Sakkara day and also on the final Coptic Islamic day which were very glad we did. I regretted not taking the half day Egyptian Museum visit with you as we changed our minds once there and found a guide ourselves who was the only unsatisfactory one. Hotels: All three hotels were excellent. Large quiet rooms on high floors with good views. Ahmed looked after our check-in in Cairo to make sure we got the best. The final night at the airport hotel worked very well. Thank you for organizing that. The Winter Pavilion in Luxor is definitely to be recommended. It is set in very beautiful gardens and is close to the Temple. The Cruise: The Jaz Yakouta was absolute luxury and a great experience. From previous feedback you must know how beautiful it is. Everything is polished till it shines. There is a very special atmosphere. Our cabin was extremely comfortable. It was lovely to lie in bed and watch the Nile scenery go by through the large windows. The Manager Mr Kamal and the crew were wonderful, helpful and discreet at the same time. The meals were excellent and varied, always beautifully presented, though extremely copious. There was a good library so we could study gods and pharaohs between visits. We were lucky to be in very good company. We formed a group with two other younger couples, one of whom spoke excellent French. You can see that our holiday in Egypt could not have been better. Thank you for organizing it for us, you did an excellent job. Needless to say we will recommend you to any friends of ours who are planning a trip to Egypt. PS – we were also very happy with our EgyptAir flights

Nile Cruise 7 nights

• Cairo and cruise December 2023
  We have just returned (08 January2024)from the 10 day classic Egypt trip and would like to say it was a fantastic holiday. Both guides in Cairo and on the Nile were excellent . Egypt exceeded all our expectations and will definitely recommend the holiday. It was really helpful to have Issac to meet us at the airport with the visas who helped us through passport control. Would recommend paying the extra for the visas to be there on arrival. Quality of the accommodation at the Ramses Hilton was excellent bar prices and meals were reasonable by UK standards. The trips to Pyramids and Egyptian Museum were very special. The boat was excellent and staff very friendly and helpful. It was well worth getting up early to see the sights especially doing the road trip to Abel Simbel. Through out the trip felt safe . Thank you Philip for your help and advice with the holiday .
• MS Tulip April 2023
  We are now safely returned from our 2 week adventure in Egypt which was truly amazing! We are so grateful for the excellent trip you so skilfully put together at rather short notice for us. Every detail was superbly organised from Visas and transport to the airport to the 6 flights and all transfers and hotel bookings. Everything went so smoothly and we learnt so much from the excellent Egyptology Guides who supported us so well around pyramids, temples , tombs and museums. We even tried a camel ride and watched belly dancing and many Egyptian traditional events. Thank you so much for your wonderfully supportive help, advice and assistance for this very happy and memorable holiday. Kind Regards, Chris and Alice - booked through Malvern World Travel
• Cairo and MS Tulip cruise March 2023
  We used Discover Egypt; very professional they organised two cabins for us as I snore loudly! Sorting out a Visa is very easy, just google Egypt Visa and check that it’s the official eVisa Egyptian government website. Follow the instructions and fill in the form making sure you copy exactly the details in your passport, any mistake will result in a NO, and cost you your fee. You will get PDF versions of your Visa emailed to you. When you arrive at Cairo airport just join the queue. Transfer to the hotel was fun and smooth, again great support from the staff on the ground, despite it being late at night. The organisation in Egypt from start to finish was exceptional, the Steigenberger Hotel with view of the Pyramids was delightful, food was great. We organised a couple of private tours before we left the UK as our son has ADHD and needed something small. Transfer to Luxor went smoothly, again very well organised, and soon we were on our boat M/S Tulip. Brilliant staff, friendly and attentive, the boat was clean, comfortable, and not too big which was very nice. All I can say about the tours and guide were exceptional. Ahmad Mozamel was the best guide we have ever had, not only was he an expert Egyptologist, but the way also he explained the history and took us to important locations within temples to show different aspects of the Pharaoh, Roman and Greek influences was exceptional. During the 7 days he let slip that he worked for Dr Zahi Hawass (the top main in Egypt) and frequently took part in archaeological exploration and digs, and had a Masters in Egyptology, he was a passionate professional. Food on board was excellent, lots of choice, well prepared and very tasty. There is enough to suit all tastes unless you are impossibly fussy!! Entertainment was fun and typical of a Nile Cruise with Egyptian night, Belly Dancing, local musicians etc. Quality and quantity of drink available was great and sensibly priced. There is a coffee machine on Deck 3 towards the front of the boat past the fitness room if you needed a quick fix at any time. The whole holiday was just brilliant, our son loved it and we will be going back to Egypt again soon. Elaine, Julian and Justin
• Nile cruise March 2023
  My mother and I had booked this trip back before covid. Unfortunately we were unable to go until 26 feb -6th March 2023. I would just like to say how special this trip meant to us both. My mother is 82 but a young 82. I was a little concerned incase it was a bit fast past or to much. But I needed not to worry, as the trips are so well organised. You are looked after from start to finish on every trip by the wonderful staff on the boats and our assigned Egyptologist guide Mohamed Foad, who was superb. The knowledge he knew was incredible and his attention to detail was excellent. He showed attention to all in our group, and answered every question that was asked of him with a great understanding of history and enthusiasm. This made the trip for us extra special. Thank you ???? Discover Egypt we will be booking another trip with this company again at some point. Amanda & Angela Hampshire
• Tulip January 2023
  Evening Philip, just a word of thanks for the amazing standard of organisation & service on last week’s visit As always, everything in Egypt ran like clockwork, I was so well looked after by the Wings staff With the single exception of the very hard bed, Legacy is a delight. I did get my cabin kettle as you promised. Le Meridien at Cairo International is a really lovely hotel, wish I'd had more time to enjoy it and good to know about it for breaking an indirect flight, thank you for the recommendation.

Classic Egypt 10 nights

• Cairo and cruise October 2023
  We returned yesterday(30 October) after a 10-day holiday with great friends of ours (Jim & Marianne). We spent 3 nights in Cairo and then 7 nights on a Nile Cruise from Luxor. Your representative and your guide (Sam & Karim) were first class in Cairo. Karim was very knowledgeable and engaging and Sam ensured the logistics of the excursions ran smoothly, which they did. Achmed (our driver) was fantastic too and did an amazing job navigating the 'challenges' the Cairo roads seem too always present. We then flew to Luxor for the next part of our holiday, our 7-night Nile Cruise. We were met at the airport by your representative Michael. He was there as we arrived to welcome us and then take us swiftly to our transportation. Whilst travelling to the boat, Michael said he would be our tour guide during our Nile Cruise, discussed the itinerary for the next day and said he wanted to ensure we had the best experience possible and that he was always available for us, he then gave us his mobile number. We arrived at the Sonesta Sun Goddess at around 10:30pm and were greeted with a wonderful welcome from the boat staff. We were guided to the restaurant whilst our luggage was taken to our suites. Despite the late arrival time and the four of us being the only guests, we were given a lovely welcome by the restaurant waiters. We then enjoyed a beautiful four course meal. We did not feel rushed, and the restaurant team were very friendly and attentive. The cruise on the Sun Goddess was just sensational. The food was first class, the service exemplary from all boat staff and the friendliness and kindness of all staff was humbling. To name just a few, Mena and the team in the restaurant looked after us so well, Shenan on the roof terrace and lobby bar gave us first class service throughout and wanted to ensure we were always happy - he even offered Jo and I honey sachets for energy as we were running (5K) around the roof running 'track'. Mohammed kept our rooms spotless daily and fully stocked with fresh towels and toiletries. Everyday Mohammed would proudly ask us to look in our room at the wonderful towel sculpture he had left on our bed. However, all the above was 'trumped' by your tour guide Michael, who was with us throughout our stay on the Sun Goddess. Michael is a lovely guy and very knowledgeable, he is a great reflection of your company. Michael went out of his way to accommodate everyone in our group, and nothing was too much trouble for him. One family in our group had their 11-year-old daughter with them. Michael ensured that the trips were fun and engaging for her too. We are not ones to write reviews following our holidays. However, because of the exceptional service and friendship Michael showed us, we felt compelled to contact you directly. We cannot speak highly enough of Discover Egypt and Michael. We will be telling all our friends about our amazing holiday and will be booking a trip again with Discover Egypt and we very much look forward to meeting up with Michael again on the Sun Goddess. Please convey our heartfelt appreciation to Michael and the crew of the Sun Goddess. They made our holiday to Egypt unforgettable and very special.
• Cairo and cruise September 2023
  September 2023. May I first say that I have just returned from the 13-day ultimate Egypt tour and would like to say how impressed I was by the whole booking progress and with Philip for answering my many questions via emails, which seeded to be almost every week. I would also like to say how amazing the whole experience was and how the tour operator met us before customs in Cairo which helped to speed up the process. I would also like to say how grateful I am that the guide on the cruise who was Ahmed Mounir and the staff on the MS Tulip who provided me with a birthday cake on my birthday. I had been to Egypt before but this time I learnt different information from Ahmed. The tour operator in Cairo and guide I would like to thank their names are Muhammad (Sadiq) The operator and Abeer the guide. I would also like to thank Hussain who was the operator in Luxor who checked me in to my flight from Luxor back to Cairo and Cairo to London he also checked my luggage in to go straight from Luxor to London without having to go through baggage reclaim and drop off again in Cairo. I would highly recommend Discover Egypt to family and friends looking to go to Egypt. Dale

• Cairo and cruise April 2023
  Discover Egypt Classic Egypt 10 Nights April/May 2023 Hotel Ramses Hilton Cairo This is a large busy modern hotel set in the city centre. It is an ideal location for sightseeing in Cairo and Giza. It has many restaurants with varied menu choices. We found the breakfast buffet and evening buffet the best option. The public areas were clean and tidy and the reception area always busy. Our room was spacious clean and comfortable. All the staff that we spoke to we friendly and helpful. Our stay was short but very enjoyable. We booked both optional tours the first to the Great Pyramids with our wonderful guide Saad Zaki who was both interesting and informative. The second days tour took us to the Egyptian Museum and the beautiful Citadel again accompanied by our guide Saad who would ensure that our trip was both fun and flexible to suit our needs. 10/10 MS Tulip The Nile After a short hassle free flight, we boarded this elegant vessel at Luxor. Our cabin on the second deck was clean comfortable and surprisingly spacious. Our next 7 days were full on visiting some of the ancient world’s treasures. This time accompanied by our friendly informative and humorous guide Mostafa. The facilities on board were of a high standard our only comment would be that the buffet food could be a little hotter, it was tasty though. This is a comment only not a criticism. We took the long and exhausting trip to Abu Simbel which was magnificent even for me a partially sighted traveller We all had a magnificent trip and if you get a chance please go with Discover Egypt and their local guides at Wings Travel. 10/10 Stephen and Nicola.

• Cairo and cruise January 2023
  This is just to let you know how much we enjoyed our holiday to Egypt. We returned on the 26th Jan having enjoyed a wonderful time, and absorbing so much Egyptian culture our brains were fit to burst. All the arrangements ran smoothly, the boat was really lovely, as were all the staff on board. Our fellow passengers were interesting companions whose company we much enjoyed. We would like to stress in particular the amazing guide we had whilst on board the MS Tulip, he was so thoughtful, well informed and considerate. A trained archaeologist his specialist knowledge was really excellent as was his organisation of excursions. He took time out to guide us through local souks and spice stores. His name is Mohamed Fouad - we cannot recommend him highly enough, perhaps you might be able to let Discover Egypt know how much we appreciated his attention and thoughtfulness. Cairo was a real contrast to the Nile especially the traffic! Again, we had a lovely guide, Nivene. She escorted us to the! monuments and museum and found lovely typical places for our lunch. She was great company. Thank you again for helping us to select our holiday! Julia
• Cairo and cruise 10 February 2023
  My partner, and I were lucky enough to go on one of your Nile Cruises from 10th to 20th February made through Miles Morgan in Nailsworth. We were accompanied throughout the tour by Mr Mohamed Fouad from Luxor Tours and he was so exceptionally good that we want to write, on behalf of our group, to commend his services. Our group of eight English tourists witnessed a whole host of guides at the many sites we visited and saw how they shouted and scrambled in quite physical scrums at times as various vendors wanted to take us in boats, horse drawn carriages or other minibuses. On the other hand Mr Fouad was calm, firm and polite, and our transport was always in the right place at the right time. Mr Fouad was a gentle, gentleman who had extensive knowledge of history, geography and politics and the story of the region was his passion, yet he briefed us in a simple and interesting way without being pompous or condescending. In short he was outstanding and he made the holiday for us all. We will never forget him. It would be wonderful if you could find a way to convey to Mr Fouad what a difference, he made to our Nile experience and how much we appreciated his professionalism, humour, and organisational skills. He is a good man and we would love it if you could pass on our appreciation to him. Crichton and Amanda
• Cairo and cruise March 17th 2023
  I thought you would like to see this feedback from my clients travelling now.... wanted to let you know that we've had a great first 2 days. We have the below the feedback which we would be grateful if you can pass to Discover Egypt and Wing Tours. Particularly if If they have an employee award scheme. "We had the most amazing time with our Egyptologist and Driver on 18th March from Mena House to the Pyramids & Sphinx and Saikara. Plus the following day 19th March to the Egyptian Museum and Citadel. Our Egyptologist hit the right note with excellent information on what we were seeing and giving us a real flavour of the history of Egypt. He has a great way of engaging with us and bringing ancient Egypt to light We enjoyed our conversations with him and he made us feel very much at ease. We would highly recommend both our Egyptologist and the driver too who was courteous and ensure we were comfortable at all times"

  Hi David and Philip, Just wanted to take the time to say a MASSIVE thank you for rearranging Mr and Mrs Robinson’s trip in Egypt. Absolutely superb service from you all and I appreciate you looking after them so well and even popping to see them Philip. Thank you so much ! It’s a refreshing change for tour operators to be so accommodating through no fault of their own, and the clients are very happy not to be charged any extra for the change.
• Cairo and Cruise 03 February 2023
  we are back from Egypt. Thank you very much for organising this wonderful trip. Everything went according to the itinerary. I have to mention a special thanks to Mr Walled our guide from Luxor to Aswan. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and very patient.
• Cairo and cruise 11 February 2023
  We just wanted to thank you for advising and arranging a superb adventure for Jo, Sam and myself. The trip was brilliant in nearly every aspect …. Discover Egypt had everything organised to the minute. Everyone we met couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly and on reflection I can’t believe the amount we have crammed into 7 days. We would definitely recommend Discover Egypt again
• To sum up… brilliant
  April 2022 Brilliant holiday. 100% recommend. We had a great time. Discover Egypt went out of their way to help us tailor our break (with hotels in Cairo and Luxor before boarding Ms Tulip). The crew were helpful, friendly, polite, always with a smile. The food was usually excellent with lots of choice of mains, fruit, salads, breads, and great soups made fresh daily. Luxor and Aswan are wonderful, but Cairo won’t take long once you’ve seen the Pyramids, and the Museum downtown. Mad lanes of traffic (we counted twelve lanes of busy traffic at one point) but it was all an experience never to forget. To sum up… brilliant.” David
• Cairo and cruise April 2022
  April 2022 We have returned from our holiday with, again, nothing but praise for your company. The team in Egypt were second to none in their attention to detail, reliability, and expertise, especially considering that one of the people in our party’s luggage was missing for 4 days and it took a lot of work to track it down. So a special thank you must go to Imm who was our Cairo representative. The Egyptologists we had were exceptional, especially Ahmed (just call me habibi) who was the guide on our Cairo private tour, and Rabie our guide on the Nile Cruise. Both were so informative and such fun to be with. The MS Tulip staff without exception were a pleasure to meet, professional, attentive but friendly throughout which made our stay on the boat such an enjoyable week. So a big thank you from Lynda and I to everyone (including you both) who were involved in making our Egypt trip so special. We hope perhaps one day to travel with you again. Jean and Lynda

• What a fantastic - FEB 2022l
  Steigenberger Pyramids and MS Tulip February 2022 Just got back from our 10-day trip to Cairo (3 nights) followed by 7 nights on MS Tulip. What a fantastic trip full of superlatives. Particularly high points include: Amazing guides (Amhad Badawy in Cairo and Ahmad Al Mozamel on Tulip) who combined huge enthusiasm/positivity, vast knowledge with an ability to convey it in remarkable English, and an unstinting dedication to providing a 1st class client experience Very attentive customer service by the Wings reps who met us at the airport and organised transfers etc removing hassle and worry - especially valuable given my mother-in-law (Octogenarian) was with us. Fabulous overall standard of service from every member of staff, great accommodation, facilities and food on MS Tulip. I would thoroughly recommend this trip and will refer friends and family to you Jeremy Shropshire

Egypt & Jordan 15 nights

• Jordan March 2023
  We have now returned from what was an excellent holiday in Jordan , despite some very indifferent weather. The management of the holiday was seamless and ,being just the two of us, enabled a lot of flexibility. You provided us with two excellent drivers who took great care of us. The booked guides were always. On hand and extremely helpful. Being just the two of us enabled our visits to be very flexible. The stay at the Dead Sea Resort and Spa was very welcome indeed, as the days at Petra had been rigorous and, in the case of the first day, very wet. The room, and especially the quality of food there were all excellent. The Petra Corner hotel was a bit basic, breakfasts were a bit sparse. Al Qasr was fine, and their staff were very helpful. Your arrangements ensured that this was a particularly good holiday indeed. With many thanks Christopher and Sue

• Jordan tour October 2023
  We had an amazing holiday with your company to Jordan between the 2-8th October. From being met at the airport and escorted through passport control and to our driver of the week, who was so welcoming we knew we were in safe hands. All the hotels were fabulous- especially the Mövenpick in Wadi Musa. The bespoke itinerary you did for us was perfect and special thanks goes to Moayyad our amazing driver who really made the week so special. He is a real asset to your company. We hope to book a holiday to Egypt with you next year.
• Jordan March 2023
  I have tried to message you on your contact page on the website but in case it doesn't work I will say it again how much we enjoyed our week in Jordan. We were looked after extremely well by your representatives from the minute we landed in Amman to the minute we took off again. They helped enormously at the airports and Ghassan, our guide and driver for the holiday, was amazing. His quiet way of taking us to places early in the morning really paid off. He was a super guy. Very respectful and caring for his older clients! Thank you again for a wonderful experience. Our only regret was it wasn't longer. Kind regards Rosemary and Roy

  We arrived home on Thursday 19 October after a brilliant holiday in Egypt and must say thank you for all the work/arrangements put into this by yourselves. Everything worked well, with transport arrangements all in place. The guides were all very knowledgeable and helpful.

• Ultimate Egypt 13 days
  April 2022 - We have been raving to friends about our wonderful trip to Egypt. We took the Ultimate Egypt 13-day tour and loved every minute. The guides were excellent - knowledgeable and attuned to our needs and interests. The accommodations were superb. Discover Egypt looked after every detail starting with our arrival at Cairo airport, and all your people were extremely helpful - which meant no stress for us. As seniors with some mobility limitations your people enabled us to get the most out of every site we visited. We could just enjoy the whole experience of exploring the marvels of ancient Egypt. We had been waiting for this since before Covid, and it exceeded our expectations. Many thanks to Discover Egypt! Ethel & Charles Ottawa, Canada

Nile Cruise/Soma Bay/Marsa Alam

• Cruise and Marsa Alam
  My friend and I recently went on holiday to Egypt with your company from 16th May for 2 weeks. We stayed on Ms Tulip then had a week at Marsa Alam. The organisation of Discover Egypt was exceptional and as a result I had the best ever holiday. You helped me to achieve a lifelong dream of a Nile cruise. The staff on board Tulip were incredibly friendly helpful and efficient and I was so impressed with the reps that met us at every point of our journey. I have to say that our guide Omar Habibi was brilliant, professional, enthusiastic, and so patient. I would do the holiday in a heartbeat and would recommend your company. Thanks for a well organised brilliant holiday. You have made an old lady very happy Janice London

Dahabiya Nile Cruise & Cairo 10nts

• Cairo and cruise
  February 2022 First of all, I'd like to say what an astounding holiday that was. My expectations were high, but they were comfortably exceeded. Our time on Yakouta in particular is one of the most memorable holidays we've ever had; a truly exceptional week. I'm also grateful to your colleague David for suggesting the Villa Belle Epoque, which gave us a much more satisfying experience than staying in a big international chain hotel. Ahmed in Cairo and Ehab on Yakouta were outstanding guides, adding a great deal to our understanding and enjoyment of the sites we visited. They were both great company, too. All the arrangements worked very smoothly, and I'd have no hesitation in recommending Discover Egypt to anyone planning a trip Alison - Somerset
