Great river Nile experience - The 4 day river Nile experience was amazing and well organized, and our guide Hesham Hamd was jut wonderful. His knowledge is outstanding and so is his friendliness. We highly recommend this trip to everyone who would love to see more beauties of Egypt besides the pyramids. We will definitely come back and use their service again in the future.
