We rode quad bikes into the desert with a private escort! We loved it so much! I have plenty to compare it to, I'd done it 5 times before in group tours! Fun, spirited, awesome! Thank you so much for the organization! Special thanks to our escort! We'll be back 😁♥♥♥

What a wonderful excursion we had in Cairo. I especially want to thank our guide Mustafa (Mustafa Group ✊). How gallant he was, how much he told us, you could feel this is a man who loves his work. I couldn't forgive him for talking us into riding a camel... just kidding!!! He knew how to joke around in Russian too 😉😂 Thank you so much. And for the Nile trip and the Cairo National Museum. It all went by "in one breath"... It was hard to say goodbye...
