Hot Weather Adventures a Great Guide Leads the Way - Exceptional Guided Experience Ehab's 5-Star Tour Our guide, Ehab, truly exceeded expectations, earning a well-deserved 5-star rating. Unlike other tours we've experienced, Ehab didn't push any sales for commission, which was a refreshing change. Instead, he focused on what mattered most, showcasing the historical sites and providing us with insightful background information. One standout aspect was Ehab's attention to detail, even choosing the best spots for capturing memorable photos. However, it's important to heed his advice and be prepared for the hot weather. Comfortable shoes, plenty of water, a hat, and light, breathable clothing are essential for a comfortable journey. With Ehab as your guide, you're in for an exceptional tour experience that's both informative and enjoyable.
