The three sites of Tuna El Gebel, Amarna, and Beni Hassan were amazing, but the guide did not allow sufficient time.
He spent the four hour car ride informing me about what we would be seeing and of its significance, but for some reason he made offensive comments about Jews and gay people. This is bad business. The guide told me Jews were "greedy" during the time of Herod, and that homosexuality did not exist in the over 3000 years of Ancient Egyptian civilization. How does he know? Is he 5000 years old?
These were unsolicited opinions that were not appropriate or professional. It was highly offensive.
Did it not occur to the guide that he might have gay and or Jewish customers? This EMO tour guide should have kept his personal beliefs to himself in matters such as these.

Aswan to Luxor Nile Cruise on the Alexander the Great
This cruise was fantastic! To be honest, we had originally intended to book a less expensive cruise but are so glad now that they were all fully booked! The accommodation on the Alexander the Great was spacious and comfortable, the food delicious and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The selection of tours provided was just right, giving sufficient free time for relaxing in between. We had a guide for just our family who was very knowledgeable and helpful. Everything was very well managed. I would highly recommend this trip.
