Great day out for the family
Great trip from start to finish. We were picked up from our hotel on time and dropped at the airport. Then when we arrived in Cairo we were met by the local guide who was with us all day and very informative. As it was a private tour there was no waiting around for everyone to return to the bus at each place which was great. Good lunch in a BBQ restaurant too. When we returned to Sharm El sheikh we were greated by the driver to take us back to our hotel again without any problems.
