Reviews
Очень запоминающееся путешествие, достопримечательности и звуки типичного Египта. Гид Ахмед был очень знающим и дружелюбным. Он дал нам советы по путешествию по Египту, которые были очень полезны. Еда на остановке тоже была восхитительной. Вы действительно не можете винить его за цену
Очень понравилось, организация на высшем уровне, за время экскурсия никаких проблем не возникало
