"My trip to Egypt exceeded my wildest expectations, starting with the tour group. What a great bunch of people. Friendships were made that will hopefully last a lifetime. Then there was Egypt itself. There are no words to express the awe in seeing the great pyramids, the sunrise from Mt. Sinai, snorkeling in the Red Sea, and that ever popular humpty back camel ride. The cruise up the Nile only added to the experience exposing us to a little taste of the Egyptian night life and many laughs as we all tried to "belly dance". This is by far the best Egypt trip; you get to see all that Egypt has to offer without the rush of getting from one place to another. The trip was over far too fast and I can’t wait to go again."
