Me and my wife traveled on one of Tripidays travel to Egypt Packages. We spent a few days in Cairo, it was awesome to visit the Great Pyramids of Giza. Then we moved forward to Luxor, which is a real open museum city. From which we took the Nile cruise toward Aswan. Everything was going up to the itinerary, and we were dealing with a very professional yet friendly staff. We really recommend Tripidays Egypt Tours, if you’re thinking about traveling to Egypt.
