Egypt Was The Trip Of A Lifetime!

2nd-time traveler Brandon

It is difficult to overstate the WOW factor of seeing Egypt in person. For me, the Pyramids of Giza and the Valley of the Kings were the highlights. We learned so much about Egyptian history which was super cool. Fair warning: this trip is very busy and fast-paced. It is 100%...

Informative and Beautiful Cultural Experience

2nd-time traveler Anonymous

This trip really had it all. We saw so much in the short time we were in Egypt. I didn’t feel overly inundated with activities but there was never a dull moment. The food was hit and miss, but I enjoyed it for the most part. I felt very safe and learned a lot!
