Cool two days Cairo excursion

breda & patsy , 15 Dec 2015
We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Egypt. We took the 2 day Air trip to Cairo. From start to finish they were most professional - they collected us from our hotel in sharm el sheihk brought us to the Airport and when the 2 days were done they escorted us back to our hotel. We had a wonderful Guide, George and driver, Osama. They could not have been more professional and helpful. George explained everything so clearly and was a mine of information. We were in the company of Leigh and Terri (see previous comment) and we were also invited to the wedding of a local Egyptian young man and his bride. We were wined and dined and made feel very welcome. The Egyptians are so friendly and inviting. We will certainly be returning to Egypt and will us Sharm Club for any excursions. Thank you George for making our trip to Cairo so wonderful and informative.
