Worldwide Touring7The Pyramides of Giza Being handed off to several representatives the entire time for every little part of the itinerary. Most of tour seemed more like a college course in Egypt history. TOO much information being bombarded on us. Not enough time to just look and enjoy. It was just a barage of lets go here, here, here.

Travelling from Cairo, home of the legendary Pyramids of Giza, to Aswan with its colourful souqs and Luxor, famed for its awe-inspiring temples and incredible Valley of the Kings.Budget Tours8For me it was the ancient sites. We were able to see the most recommended "must sees" and it really was well structured for this purpose. Even with all the planned visits we still had some independent time to explore on our own and not always be in transit. A really good itinerary. From an accommodation perspective the Night Train was not comfortable or relaxing. Having said that, travel at night meant more time at the sites and we did get a lot of laughs out of the experience.
