Hello. Everything went well with the excursion; it was very nice. However, there were two things we didn't like. First, we had to wait quite a while for the van because it was delayed. Second, even though the camel ride was included in the price, we were made to pay 5 euros per person just for a quick 5-minute ride—despite it already being part of the package. I wanted to book more excursions, so this was disappointing. Also, our buggy broke down, but they brought us a better one within ten minutes.

Autobus to był naprawdę wechikuł który przeniósł nas w klimat Egiptu. Kierowca to po prostu bestia 😅 a silnik na pewno nie był z żadnego niemieckiego koncernu 🤪. Wycieczka zajebista cóż tutaj dużo mówić stosunek ceny do usługi wszystko jak powinno być. Jedyny problem wyniknął z słabej i formacji, komunikacji i mojej winy. Troszkę mi zajeło dogadać się odnośnie ceny za wycieczkę. Niemniej opanowaliśmy temat. Drugi problem który leżał po mojej stronie miałem zbyt duży nominał $ ale ten problem też rozwiązaliśmy. Ogólne wrażenia pozytywne. 😈 Aczkolwiek samą trasą chyba nie jest dla każdego bo naprawdę ludzie ledwo co wyszli 😅. Ale to wina podejmowania decyzji i pisania się na sprawy które wykraczają po za ich możliwości. Ja osobiście zapamiętam z tej wycieczki katowanie silnika przez kierowcę. Moim zdaniem majstersztyk 😈. Niestety nie dałem mu napiwku 😔. Ze względu na problemy z tym dużym nominałem. Po za tymi niuansami bajaka. Można wycieczkę polecać
