“Zenab was exceptional throughout. She was knowledgeable about everything. She was patient and kind. We understand She had to do a job, we would have appreciate if she didn't force the papyrus making, perfumes, jewelry and cotton stops on us. It clearly was incentivized. Aside from those, we had a blast. Oh the driver was nice but he was driving dangerous at times.”

“I booked this tour because I was excited to be able to talk with the guide to have him customize our tour for us. He did quite the opposite. He told us what he wanted to do. The most enjoyable things we did on the tour were things that we had to tell him we wanted to do.
