Dear Azza and Omar,

Thank you for email and follow up regarding your services in Egypt. One word - outstanding! We were just thrilled with the professionalism, prompt and courteous service, enthusiasm and knowledge of everyone and the way in which we were made to feel welcome and special guests in Egypt. We can't thank you enough for this experience.

Only one comment was one day was very, very hot and we might have adjusted our visiting schedule to allow for lunch (in air conditioning) earlier. I never thought to suggest until we just got to the point where we couldn't go on and couldn't wait another hour for lunch.

Otherwise everything was well organized, professional and everyone was very welcoming and friendly.

Thank you so much for making our trip so memorable and so easy to enjoy.

Best wishes,

Jocelyne and Bob
