Guides:

Over the years we've asked returning Travel in Style travelers "What made your trip exceptional?" The top answer is always "service," and we've taken that to heart.

The guides on Travel in Style tours are the best possible people for the
job: experienced, knowledgeable, professional and personable, exceeding all national regulations for qualification.

On our Egypt tours and Nile cruises, our guides are certified Egyptologists licensed by the government. All have university degrees, many of them Ph.D.'s. In Morocco, guides on our camel caravans and desert tours are local experts on the Sahara and Bedouin traditions. In Turkey, our city guides are government-licensed members of the tour guides' guild, and the captains of our yachts have captains' certification as well as long experience in sailing the waters of the Turquoise Coast.

We realize that the guide is the key to an enjoyable, memorable travel
experience, so we provide the best because we know you want to Travel in Style.

It's important to realize that 90% of the money you pay for our tours goes
to working people at the destinations we serve

We believe in supporting the local economies of the beautiful places we show you, and we are pleased to be able to help local people to live better lives, whether it be your Nubian guides in Upper Egypt, the crew on a Nile cruise, or the Touareg tribesmen of Morocco. They are our valued associates, just as you are our valued
client.

We'll put up testimonials regularly.

Dear Fatima,

Our holiday in Egypt & Jordan was absolutely fantastic. Everything that you arranged went exactly as planned. Everybody we dealt with in both countries was both welcoming and very knowledgble. Overall I would say that you exceeded our expectations on all levels and provided us with the holiday of a lifetime. We also thought it was very good value and would not hesitate to recommend your service to family and friends. Thank you once again.

Best regards,

Dear Omar the Great,

At the beginning of the trip we were the queen and princess of Egypt, but after a few days we became the goddesses of the Nile. Everyone treated us so wonderfully and the two weeks flew by too fast. We loved Egypt and the Egyptians so much that we tried to extend our time in Egypt, however we were not able to get all the plane reservations that we had hoped for.

Mayada and Mageud in Cairo were so caring and wonderful and what can I say about the wonderful dinner at Mayada’s family’s apartment? Her mother is a delight and I hope to see her again in the future. The cruise was absolutely superb. T

One of our favorite people of ancient Egypt is Queen Hatshepsut and we would have loved to see her temple. We did not go and when we returned home we found that it was supposed to have been on our itinerary. That was one of the places we really wanted to see.

The two guides we had were very different, very knowledgeable and we learned so much from both of them. We both learned several phrase in Arabic (such as: “fell mish mish”) and Michelynn was learning how to write in Arabic. If you ever need someone to make a recommendation to anyone thinking of going with your company I hope you would think of us. It was a dream come true from the very first day! The staff in Egypt was very attentive to our every wish and you were always so prompt in responding to any of my questions before the trip.

With many, many thanks to all the people who made this so special,

.......Hi, I just wanted to let you know that our Egyptian trip was fabulous! We had a great time, and a large part of that was because your agency did a great job taking care of us.

Your representatives were very helpful and polite and it made all the difference.

Thank you so much, I would highly recommend Travel in Style

Wallace Party - On the Royal Cleopatra - Private cruising on the Nile :

Hi,

I've been meaning to email you since we arrived home - the trip was Great!!! All the crew was helpful and friendly - they had their work cut out for them helping us with the old ladies, but they were fabulous with them .

everyone had a fantastic time-the accommodations were lovely and the food delicious. Id certainly recommend it to others!!

Finally, Ahmed, our tour guide was the best - again, friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to be with for 5 days - as much as we loved our guide in Cairo, we were sad to leave Ahmed!!

I would certainly recommend him if you're ever looking for guides!! Especially on the boat - It takes a certain type of person to live so comfortably with a group of 5 strangers, and again - he made us feel welcome - worked well with all the crew and was an asset to the trip

Thanks for everything

Dear Omar,

Of course you can use my words as a testimonial. I should have added that I
so much appreciated your patience and prompt follow through since we joined
the group at the last minute. It truly was a trip of a lifetime and I'm
reluctant to brush the desert dust off my walking shoes. Hopefully, I can
go back for more. I plan to include Ahmed Kaoud's touching message in my
travel album. I also appreciated the energy and enthusiasm of some others on the
team including Mohamed Abbas, who is a wonderful representative of his
country and has a great future, and our guide to Islamic and Coptic Cairo
whom we all knew only as Mohamed #2. Then there was the first friendly
face whose name I never retained but who also saw us off for the States as
well. Thank you again for everything!!!

Omar, There was an ATM at the Old Cataract Hotel which we, fortunately or
unfortunately, found convenient. We had a wonderful trip and thank you for
your kindness and attention. The representatives in Egypt were great,
particularly those in Cairo. We hope to return someday to that fascinating
land.

Kind regards,

Charlotte Pusey

Omar ,

We returned safely as scheduled. The trip was very interesting. We added a trip to Alexandria on our free day in Cairo. The new library there is worth the visit. The staff in Egypt was excellent and our logistics were exactly as described. Hotels were excellent. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable in Egyptology, but could have given us a little more information during the long drives.

One suggestion we have is to warn people of the cold temperatures on Mt. Sinai so they can bring gloves, shoes, coats, etc. Also, there were several days with 2:30 a.m. wake up calls that should have been mentioned.
Overall the planning done by you and your associates was great.

Thanks again
Earl & Francine

hi Omar:
in our testimonial you can add that Earl and I will recommend your agency for travel plans.

You are very customer service oriented and we really appreciated that!

Depending where our future traveling plans take us, we are likely to use your agency again.

Sincerely,
Francine

Subject: Thank you!

Dear Omar -

We made it back to Rome safe and sound, and with incredibly fond memories of our trip to Egypt. We had an absolutely wonderful time, and I sincerely thank you for all of the work you did to make our trip a success.

It was a trip we will always remember, and I know the Strayers feel the same. We very much enjoyed our dinner with Ahmed upon our return to Cairo, which was most kind of you to plan for us. Sorry you were unable to join us, but I hope to have the opportunity to reciprocate if your travels bring you to Rome!

Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. Please also extend our sincere thanks to your colleagues in Egypt. Ahmed Omar and Ahmed Kaoud did a superb job with all arrangements.

Everything went incredibly smooth (no small feat for two families with plenty of children!), and their cheerful attentiveness was most appreciated. Our transportation, accommodations and service throughout were "top notch". Also, we could not have been more pleased with our exceptional guide and new friend, Muhammad Anwar.

We hated to say good-bye to Muhammad when our tour came to an end -- he is an adopted family member of the Strayers and Kings! I have already told several people here that if they ever want to plan a trip to Egypt, Travel in Style is the only way to go!

I will certainly advise my colleagues of the exceptional service we received from your organization.

Thanks again, to you and your team, for making our vacation to Egypt one that we will always fondly remember.

Summer 2004

Hello Fatima!

Sorry to keep you waiting so long - it's just always like this after two weeks out of office...

We would like to thank you very much for the perfect planning and arranging of a great trip. You have a premium class agents and crew in Egypt , compared also to international standards!

We enjoyed a perfectly organized, really custom made program with real Egyptian friendlyness and in the same time "Swiss" punctuality and finish. The Swiss tourism board should send their people for instruction....

We will be happy if you forward our best thanks to all people involved in our journey , your agency will be recommended to our Egyptian business travellers!

Believe me, we left Egypt with the knowing of having met new friends - we already have contacts with our guide we used to have on the cruise!

Many thanks also to your part - it was worth it to trust into an online business company on another continent - but, by knowing you were Egyptian I was never scared about being cheated; I always made good experiences with people from Egypt!

Our meaning about perfect organization is proved by the compare to the second agent we had from Marsa Alam to Cairo - the difference was easy to see!

What is left for us is say thank you very much for planning us a great time and wishing you all the best for you, your familiy and your business in 2005. We will definitly recommend your company and trying to convince other people to go and see the different sights of this beautiful country!

Hope to hear from you some time. If we can help you with anything some time, just let me know. We keep it the Egyptian way. If ever you will always be welcome in Switzerland!!

Warmest regards

Beat

P.S. If you like we will be happy to send you a nice calendar with different views of Switzerland. Let me know if yes, how many you would like to have as a little sign to remember the Swiss guys!

Egypt & Nubian Sea ( Lake Nasser )

Dear Omar and Azza,

Thank you, and Happy New Year to your staff and families!

Jeffrey and I could not have had a more wonderful trip. The SS Nubian Sea was a highlight. The staff was professional and the cuisine outstanding. It is simply hard to put into words how profound it was to visit Abu Simbel in
the afternoon and again for the evening light show.

All our services,transfers, and hotels could not have been smoother. Only
one recommendation: Had we known that we would be on the boat in dock all day we would have
loved to have had the option to visit Philae or simply tour Aswan on our own.

As for the rest of the trip, all our guides were top form, except perhaps the lady in Aswan who seemed a bit not necessary in the well planned Nubian Museum.

The Nubian Museum was so well done, she had a hard time adding to the information already available. I think you could easily have people walk this on their own. However, a guided tour of the city and dam would have
been nice.

You will laugh, we found ourselves wanting one more day everywhere we went.
That is how much enjoyed ourselves.

Off our tour in Alexandria, Jeffrey and I took some of our free time to visit the Alexandrian Library. What a jewel. You may wish to suggest this to future travelers. It was a wonderful cap on a splendid tour.

Back in Cairo, you were right. The Cosmopolitan was certainly not up to your standards as evidenced by the trip. We had to change rooms to get one that was properly cleaned and no water leaks, but the hotel's location was fantastic and we hiked all over Cairo. We will definitely take your advice on hotels when we go back someday.

In conclusion, we will pass on our trip details to family and friends who hope to travel to Egypt.

Thank you to you and your colleagues in Cairo for all their hard work. We wish you the very best in the upcoming year.

Sincerely,

Karla and Jeffrey

Traveling with children : Egypt , Mediterranean Cruise & Greece:

In a message dated 7/6/2004 3:50:07 PM Pacific Standard Time, jwalker@..................com writes:

OK, I have had enough work today and am anxious to give you my feedback, so here goes:

Arrival in Greece we were met by Costas and he was wonderful and made us feel very welcome. His sign was very professional and big enough for us to see, although my daughter missed him the next evening. This was definitely not his fault. Dimitri met us at the hotel and made sure we knew about everything that was going to happen from that point on. Again, he made us feel welcome and comfortable, which made us relax. The hotel we stayed in was terrific. We loved the roof top restaurant and the view. Service at the hotel was great and the food was average.

Dimitri did an excellent job of getting us on the cruise ship and of picking us up from the cruise ship. We never were worried about any of our connections. He made sure the cruise ship knew we had to get off early and the cruise ship was very accommodating to make sure that happened.

The cruise was terrific and we loved everywhere we stopped, especially Turkey and Santorini. The service on the ship was very good and the employees were terrific. The food was average at best.

Our two day excursions from Athens were definitely worth our time. We loved Delphi and really enjoyed Argolis as well. Again, Dimitri made sure we got picked up both days and were delivered back to our hotel by the tour we were on. Dimitri again met us in the evening to get us to our early morning flight to Egypt and we got a chance to meet his lovely wife. He did everything he could to get us checked in and going in the right direction in the airport. We absolutely think he and his brother were wonderful and did an outstanding job taking care of us.

When we arrived in Cairo we were met by Memo (spelling) and Michael. Again, Memo did an excellent job of greeting us, getting us our Visas and getting us and our luggage through the airport. This was very important to us as this part of our trip was the most concerning for us. He got us on a bus to our airport and made us feel very comfortable and very welcome to Egypt. I was incredibly impressed by his ability to anticipate our needs. He had already changed our tour, which was to begin at 8:00 AM to begin at 10:00 AM since we were getting in so late in the morning. The additional two hours sleep was very well needed by all of us. He made sure we were checked in properly in our hotel then took care of our wake-up call. We literally had to do nothing but go to our room and go to bed. Our tour to the pyramids was outstanding and probably our highlight of the entire trip. Our female guide did a superb job explaining everything we were going to see and talking about what we were seeing when we were there. We had no idea we would be riding camels, going to a perfume store, stopping by to shop for gold and silver and then finishing up with a trip to a local shop that made rugs. All of this was unexpected and was a wonderful way to see some of the local areas. Lunch was superb, although I couldn't tell you where we ate. It was very close to the pyramids and definitely in Giza. We were also made very comfortable with the additional security that accompanied us everywhere we went. Our safety was never in jeopardy, at least we thought so. Arriving back to the hotel after a long day we were very tired and wondering how much fun the dinner cruise was going to be but again Memo anticipated this and had already changed the dinner cruise to the next evening, which made all of us very very happy. Again, I was blown away by his ability to stay one step ahead of our needs and really knowing what we were thinking. The dinner cruise was again more than we expected. The food was good, not outstanding but the entertainment was superb. Although we were expecting the belly dancer we were not expecting the whirling dervish or whatever he was, but he was incredible and a memory we will never forget. Michael accompanied us on the cruise and he made sure we were well taken care of. He also did an outstanding job of making sure we had a wonderful time. He was very service oriented and we were blown away that he had only been with the company for three months and that we were his first group to go solo with. If he hadnt told us, we would have never known. Michael met us in the morning to take us to the airport and along with him and Memo made sure we got our luggage checked with very little hassle. Everyone in Egypt did everything humanly possible to make sure we were taken care of.

I would do anything necessary for references for either Athens or Cairo. The people you are working with there are absolutely first class and made sure we had a wonderful vacation. I would love to write letters to both locations if you think that is appropriate. The only bad news is what myself and daughter brought back with us from Egypt and that is being sick. We both have spent way too much time in the bathroom the last five days. Other than that our vacation was simply the best! Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We had a wonderful time on the Nile cruise! The food was absolutely fabulous and the staff very good. We were very lucky as it was our honeymoon! It is really one of the most interesting countries to visit and there is almost too much to see. Claire Chung

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our vacation in Egypt was perfect. All of our guides were very nice and informative. The ship, the Nile Orchestra, was beautiful. Everyone was very accommodating. The entire trip was very well organized. It was a pleasure working with all of you. Maria Casale

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our trip to Egypt was just wonderful! My husband and I would like to thank you and your companions. We were cared for by so many wonderful Egyptians, among them two very knowledgeable, patient tour guides. We could not have totally appreciated our trip without them We felt comfortable with all of our drivers and staff and found everyone very warm and professional. The cruise was most relaxing and just what both of us needed. This was our first cruise and I am glad we included it in our trip. It was exciting to learn about the history and customs of Egypt while actually visiting. It is quite beautiful and can leave one speechless. We would like to return. Shoukran .Lynne

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm in the Cyber - cafe in the Nile Hilton after my second visit to the Egyptian Museum. The trip has been a great success. I especially enjoyed the night train to Luxor and the boat ride on the Nile. The staff has held my hand all the way and eliminated anxieties. I've even added trips to the Sound and Light show, Memphis, and the Cairo market. Thanks again for your efforts. You organized a wonderful trip. Dennis Randall

Hello everyone! Well as you all know I just got back from an amazing trip in Egypt. I know I will see you all very soon and we'll have a chance to talk about all my adventures and go over pictures (250 photos, surprise surprise). I just wanted to quickly do a little PR even though I'm not in that line of work! The company that I went through (travelinstyle.com) I found through another web site . It was the most wonderful experience ever. Mom and I were a little concerned about traveling alone in Egypt so we really wanted to go through a company which would take us by the hand every bit of the way. They did more than that. Every time we got off the plane there was somewhere there waiting for us. At every stop we had an Egyptologist take us through the city and really give us details on all the sites. Egypt is an Archaeologists dreamland. I was truly amazed by all the wonders of Egypt. There were so many experiences that I will always treasure- the Pyramids, traveling by camel to a monastery, visiting the first Pyramid ever built, the Valley of the Kings (where King Tut was buried).....and my favorite- was hearing the call to prayer. This is a song that echoes throughout the city 5X a day- this is the call to pray. It is the most magical thing ever. I can go on and on. But I just wanted to put the word out- if you want to go on a great guided trip (we were lucky in that we had a PERSONAL guide in every city, thanks to travelinstyle.com) I would recommend this company. They are EXTREMELY friendly and create amazing trips at a reasonable price. I never ever felt worried that there wouldn't be someone waiting for us upon arrival- they were always there for us, every step of the way. So keep it in mind. I've got that trip to Turkey in the back of my mind :) I know my Mom's spreading the word to her friends already! See you all soon! J. Daniels

Dear Azza, Now that I've come back down to earth, I wanted to take a moment to share with you how grateful I am to have had the privilege of visiting your country and how blessed I felt while I was there. Everyone associated with your operation was in fact a blessing! Adel took such good care of me from the moment I arrived as did our driver whose name I cannot remember (please let me know so I can add his name to my list of people to remember in my prayers). Mohamed took me to purchase the sacred jewelry I needed to carry with me. Our tour of Memphis and Sakkara was incredible. His knowledge, patience, guidance, openness, flexibility, and willingness to teach as well as learn from me filled me with joy. As we walked onto the grounds at Sakkara, I looked down at my feet. There in the sand at my feet was a perfect imprint of a Lotus flower. Zoser was welcoming me home. My trip to Giza with Usama was also a life changing experience. My visit to the King's Chamber with Usama's spiritual guidance enabled me to experience my final initiation in the Mystery Schools. As he guided me through the Egyptian Museum, we shared our knowledge. We were both shocked to find that the statue of the seated Scribe had my face, even my hair! Raed and Kim took me to dinner and I loved meeting them and sharing my experiences. Hani was very kind to arrange for Mohamed to take me shopping and very gracious when I decided to return to my beloved Pyramids rather than going on to Luxor. Thank you again for the love and joy you, your company and all your representatives brought to my life. I am most grateful. J. Eck

Hi Fatima, We had a great time in Egypt. The weather was fantastic, the sights awe-inspiring, and the people extremely hospitable. We were very well looked after by your travel agency. We had an excellent driver in Cairo, and all travel & transfers went extremely smoothly. We had excellent guides in Cairo, Alexandria, and Luxor-to-Aswan, and we got to see just about everything--even more than was on the itinerary. My wife felt that we could have covered the sights of Cairo in less time, but I felt that the pace was just about right. We thoroughly enjoyed the 4-day cruise on the "M/S Papyrus," where the food was great. We would have no hesitation recommending your agency to our friends and acquaintances. Thanks for making it all possible, and please pass on my gratitude to your colleagues in Egypt. Regards & best wishes C. Probyn

Dear Azza, Now, we are back from one week amazing travel in Egypt, meaning in terms of Egyptian arts and history as well as your travel arrangements. We, my wife, my son and myself, have been quite satisfied and comfortable with all the arrangements of this travel. The Japanese speaking guide and the driver were just excellent. We just would like to thank for all the kindness and consideration, especially having provided us with the pleasant Japanese Speaking guide all the way from and to Cairo and the free upgrading of the Nile Cruise. We could learned lots of things about ancient Egyptian arts and history, and could explored Luxor,Aswan and Edfu. After one week travel, we noticed that we didn't feel tired at all even though the schedule had been very busy. This is because your colleagues in Egypt always took best care of us. I can confidently introduce your company to my Japanese friends who are interested in the travel in this area. Thank you very much again and please give our best regards to your boss and colleagues. With best regards. Koichiro

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Omar,
It was truly a magnificent trip. The cruise was top notch and the boat was awesome. Your gift and the pins and the books added a very nice touch and they were appreciated. Our tour guide at the various ruins and on the boat, Wahid, turned out to be an amazing and informative guide, as well as a good friend. He helped us out constantly and gave us good hints and assistance when we needed it. You might want to contact the tour company to compliment his efforts. Egypt is truly an amazing place. Luxor was a town we ended up staying for 5 days as we could not pull together a Jordan trip. It turned out to be fine, however, as Luxor was a great place to rest and relax. I would be more than happy to act as a recommendation for you or the trip in the future. Thanks again for your assistance, patience and help. We plan on going back next year and so we should keep in touch. All the best to you and your family for the holidays. David Dami

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ms. Azza Hussayin,
We wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much we enjoyed our Egypt vacation! We so much appreciate the good planning you did for us! Our /your contact in Cairo, Michael Raouf Shafik, was excellent and made all our connections work smoothly. The Cairo guide was very knowledgeable, pleasant and thorough. The driver for Cairo (George) was very proficient.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Omar,
I wanted to let you know that Suzi and I have returned from our trip to the Middle East and wanted to let you know how it went.

We had a great time! There was never a moment in Egypt that we did not feel safe. Ahmed M. Saad Eddine of ISIS travel is absolutely the best. I count him now as a very good friend. The hospitality shown to Suzi and I could not be matched anywhere in the world.

As you promised we were met at the airport upon our arrival and ISIS travel took care of everything from that moment until they escorted us onto the airplane one week later when we departed. Our principal guides, Rahmadan in Cairo and Saad on the Nile were excellent!

Our last day in Cairo was probably the most special. As you may recall, our flight did not leave for Israel until very late that Sunday evening. Because of this Ahmed, the manager of the Cairo office, took Suzi and I out to one of his favorite local spots and we had Shisa (water pipe) and tea before making for the airport. This after a full days tour of Alexandria.

I have to say that it was everything that you had promised and more. Absolutely everyone we met or had any contact with were kind, polite and down right friendly! We both feel like we made a number of new friends and all of them are Egyptian.

If you ever need a reference for travel to Egypt feel free to give them my e-mail address or phone number. We would be happy to give your clients the low down on our trip to your beautiful country.

Thanks Again for a Great Vacation,

William Dudley Land

You get kudos Omar! From Douglas Lampe" "Richard, it was an OUTSTANDING trip. We had the time and the trip of a lifetime. It was wonderfully coordinated. The list of good things is too long too write, but highlights included the Ng Crater, the Migration, the Pyramids at dawn (there was a heavy cloud cover that magically lifted in sheets and it was spectacular too witness), and Aswan (so glad you lobbied for Aswan a month ago when I was thinking of shifting time to Luxor--the setting/view from the New Cataract was idyllic). Everything about Egypt was very professional and well done. Great guides, great coordination from team, great flexibility, etc." Thanks so much for you and your staff looking after our clients.

Hi Fatima,
I am finally home from my vacation in Egypt and I am exhausted, have jet lag and I am suffering from time zone changes. Nevertheless, I had the best time ever!!!!!!!!!! The tour package was everything I imagined and even more.
Our tour guides were wonderful, Egypt was absolutely magical, and not to mention...the Egyptian men were absolutely GORGEOUS! The Egyptians were so nice that at the end of the tour, I didn't want to leave!!! I have already recommended you to several friends who saw my pictures and decided that they needed to visit Egypt too.
I was truly spoiled by the service that we received . At the airport the staff s whisked us through customs at the speed of light, carried our luggage and not only delivered us to our hotel, but checked us in while we waited in the lobby! I definitely plan to return to Egypt again, and I thank you for making my first trip there one of the most awesome and memorable experiences of my life! --- Michele Williams --- m...@earthlink.net ---

Hi Omar, Just a quick note to let you that everything went well with our trip. We had a great time in Egypt.
You were right regarding the cruise down the Nile.
I would definitely suggest it to anyone going there.
The service at the hotel and on the boat (and everywhere else) was great. The people were very hospitable and courteous. ( I did fall in love with Paris.)
If our trip was a little longer I would have gone to Sharm El Sheik or Hurghada.
We really liked your team . They took care of everything for us.
If anyone we know is interested in an Egypt trip, I'll give them your number.

Gentlemen, I recently returned from my trip to Egypt and wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your pre-trip assistance as well as the quality of the services you arranged for me. This was my first trip to Egypt and my first vacation planned completely online and I was a little nervous. I shouldn't have worried. Your Cairo representative met us as scheduled at our hotel to deliver the train and cruise tickets when we first arrived. The overnight train was exactly what we had in mind and the cruise exceeded our expectations. Your prices were so reasonable that I was afraid there must be a catch. The M.S. Liberty was clearly one of the nicer boats on the Nile and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thanks for helping make this a great vacation. ----------------------------------------------------Michelle Dorothy .Jun 20, 2001

Dear Omar,

We have just returned from our trip to Egypt and cannot thank you and your staff enough for the kindness and helpfulness during our trip. Sharif and Sharour in Cairo and Aladin in Aswan were wonderful in explaining the sites and sharing information about life in Egypt. Essam, our guide during the cruise, Maher, the M/S Liberty's general manager and his wonderful staff were delightful. Maher made us feel a part of his family and was extremely gracious. Essam was extremely informative and very nice. Our accomodations were beyond our expectations. The view from the Basma Hotel in Aswan was fabulous and our accommodations at Le Royal Meridien Tower were fabulous. I have sent a letter praising your services to the Frommer's website and have passed on information and recommendations to several people who have queried me online. We cannot thank you and your staff enough for a trip that will be forever memorable. We hope to return to Egypt. It is an amazing and beautiful country. Thank you for helping us see it in the best possible way.

Egypt Jun 2002:

<<
Dear Omar:

I would like to take this opportunity to personally "thank you" for making my trip to Egypt with my grandson a most memorable journey.

Everything went perfectly , it all began during our as arrival at Cairo International Airport We were welcomed by the charming smile of Samy , who whisked us through Immigration/Custom and onto the new Tower Le Meridian Hotel. We checked-in to our corner room with a breathtaking view of the Nile and the city beyond, where a beautiful floral arrangement arrived with the compliment of Mrs. Moawad, As our journey through Egypt was to continue in the following days, I was hart-broken to have to leave this beautiful floral arrangement behind.

Our Cairo city guide, Doaa Abderkader, was very knowledgeable. Her English was superb, her personality
was charming , and her enthusiasm about Egyptian history simply made her a special person.

Despite our language barriers of attempting to communicate in Arabic, and vice versa, our driver in Cairo was a delight to be with.

Philipe in Luxor, was of tremendous assistance to us and assured our comfort .

Tarek in Aswan, had everything arranged for us…from our side trips including a camel ride to a Nubian village and museum, to a fascinating sound and light show in Philae, (on a quick request).

The ship M/S Moon Goddess was top quality… all the elements combined from food, staff and excursions made our sail most enjoyable.

In view of the challenges and difficulties the Middle East faces , we felt completely safe, the Egyptians were exceptionally friendly and kind and could not do enough to welcome us.

Your Cairo team operates and excellent and professional business. I would not hesitate to recommend Nubian Nile Cruises & Travel In Style , even other vacationers onboard our ship would comment about the quality of the services we received.

All in all, a wealth of historical knowledge was gained and truly this was a superb vacation for my grandson and me. Egypt has always been one of my favourite destination, and will always remain to be.

Once again " thank you" for arranging a wonderful tour for us.

Yours sincerely,

Marielle Crowell

PS: A special 'thanks you" to Hanan Shoukry, for being accommodating with changes and who was also responsible for making this journey smooth and fantastic.>>

We arrived at Luxor Airport one hour early and called our contact person in Cairo (Mr./Sherif). He was really great and arranged transportation for us. The driver and reprisintive in luxor (Gamal) was very friendly and helpful. He explained many things to us as we went to the hotel.
We were very pleased with the hotel as well.The organization of all the excursions in Luxor was excellent,we felt quite special being driven around with our own air-condition van. The van driver was also very nice and friendly.
We practically enjoyed the flexibility of the whole thing since it was a private tour and we had our own guide everything could start or finish when wanted so we had plenty of time to relaxes well as the opportunity to adopt the tour to our own interests.
The Tour guide (Ahmed) was superb, He was always ready to help, his stories were very interesting, He was willing to answer any questions we had. He gave us advise on all sorts of things from archeology to local customs,We would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Egypt,with his masters degree in Egyptology and his friendly attitude he is certainly the best friend one can hope for in Egypt.
"Royal Cleopatra" Felucca was defiantly one of the best experiences in our life. It is something not to be missed in exploring the wonders of Egypt, The accommodation and facilities are very comfortable and clean.The staff is very polite , friendly and helpful, They made us feel truly at home.Due to their efforts our stay on board was enjoyable and relaxing.
The cook was exceptional master,we actually found ourselves counting hours between meals. The food aboard was much better than the food we ate in Hilton luxor, Egyptian cuisine is exquisite :):)!!
All in all,this trip was a trip to remember and hopefully repeat in the future.
ENSHAALAAH!

 

 

 

Our Nile cruise passengers come from all countries of the world, more from Europe, but also from North America, South America and Asia, and naturally they'll often keep the company of their own language and culture.

Your patience and extra efforts to interact are sure to bear rewards.
Some guests from the USA did bring up the issue that in some cases the boat did have 2 or 3 English speaking couples onboard, and that they expected more !
Most sailings have a few native English speakers, though the numbers, of course, vary by season, and are not guaranteed.
