“The journey in Egypt had a challenging start with delayed baggage, impacting the overall experience. Subsequent tour guides in Luxor/Aswan were less than satisfactory, with language barriers and punctuality issues (75 mins late!). Frustrated, I shared my concerns when signing up for the pyramid tour. It turned out to be the best day of the entire trip, thanks to the efforts of Shorouk (coordinator), Saber Owyan (tour guide), and Amr Owayan (driver). Shorouk, a big thank you for arranging a thoughtful crew; your attention to detail from start to finish is impressive!
