    Tour March 2-11. A Bucket list destination that did not disappoint. I loved this tour with Explore! Our tour guide Mohammed was absolutely wonderful as he is an Egyptologist and has been leading tours 20+ years. My favorite moments were standing in front of the pyramids, touring the The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, seeing tombs of the Pharaohs, hot air balloon ride over Valley of the Kings (optional tour - worth it!) and meeting and touring with wonderful people. It was a busy tour with early starts for Abu Simbel and balloon ride, but both worth the early morning. I loved the food, our dinners recommended by Mohammed, and the people. I felt safe, welcomed and loved it all. I have traveled quite a bit, and this was one of my favorite trips.

    Abu Simbel a sail in a felucca, the high quality of the accomodation, hotels & ship. I wanted to visit an aircraft museum in Cairo, so it was arranged by Mostafa. He even had the taxi driver bring us back to the rest of the group at the stated time.

    Valley of the Kings - despite the very early start, definitely worth getting their early to have the tombs to ourselves. Karnak temples also incredible.
