Sameh and his team are amazing, they bend over backwards to make you feel welcome and like a part of the family, their hospitality is brilliant.Sameh's knowledge of Egyptian history is absolutely mind blowing and he delivers his information with such charisma.If you use this company to visit Egypt you will not be disappointed and they can work with you if the packages they offer are not ideal
