We did two tours through TIE and I would highly recommend them. Our guide in Cairo & Alex was Mohamed El Shemi and in Luxor & Aswan was Mahmoud Nour Both of the guides were excellent. They were considerate of our wants and needs. It was very hot and the cold water supplied and the air-conditioned vehicles were greatly appreciated. They made our trip fascinating and fun. Riding a camel at the pyramids was one of the most awesome moments of my life. The Karnack Temple in Luxor is not to be missed. At all times on these tours, I felt safe and catered for. The whole experience of Egypt exceeded my expectations. The drivers were excellent and the tour moved at a pace dictated by us. Give it a try, you will be impressed
