A really fabulous trip which is definitely worth the many hours of travelling. Egypta Travel were very good on communications leading up to the trip, and answering questions. The minibus turned up 20 minutes late however (and given it was a 04.45 pickup the lateness was annoying!) but the rest of the day more than made up for it, and to be fair, even that early, the company was responding on Whatsapp which was very reassuring. The minibus was functional and there were only 8 of us so we had space….if the bus had been full spending nearly 9 hours in it would have been a challenge. Lets just say “cosy” & if you are very tall think carefully…. The guide (Sherif) was incredibly knowledgeable and made the day super fun as well as interesting/informative. The programme was great & didnt feel rushed. Everything ran smoothly. I definitely recommend this trip - really good fun!!
