Nile Cruise, Cairo and El Gouna

The PyramidsIn the midst of the unrest and demonstrations that we are seeing at the moment it’s nice to receive a really positive testimonial from one of our clients who has just returned from Egypt having cruised on the MS Stephanie then stayed at the Le Meridien Pyramids Hotel in Giza, Cairo before travelling down to stay in El Gouna on the Red Sea.

Barbara and I know from our experience what lovely people the Egyptian people are and its’ such a shame that currently the unrest is causing such hardship for the many hardworking men and women who’s very livelihoods depend upon tourism.  I think when you read this testimonial you’ll see just how welcoming and hospitable the people of Egypt really are.

The testimonial is in our Nile Cruise Testimonials page but I’ve reprinted it below:
