just got back from a 2 week trip in Egypt organised by \memphis. First of all it was a really good trip. We had wanted to see as many of the sites as possible whilst also have a reasonably relaxed timetable over the 2 weeks. Memphis suggested a few days in Cairo, an overnight train to Luxor, a 7 day cruise down the Nile to Aswan and back again and then a few days in Sharm to work on the tan. Mimmo was our assigned Memphis organiser who met us at Cairo airport and he ensured that we had our own driver and guide at all the different stages of the holiday and provided us a mobile phone for the duration of the trip. Cairo: Maha our guide in Cairo was excelent, she was very knowledgable and happy to answer all our questions and to protect us from the hawkers which are everywhere in Egypt. The Nile Cruise: This was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. The crew of the M/S Nile Style provided truly excellent and friendly service. it was a relaxed tempo, generally sightseeing in the morning and then relaxing on the sun deck by the pool in the afternoon. Special mention for our guide for the weeklong cruise - Sayed who was excellent, friendly, enthusiastic and very patient with all our questions! Sharm El Sheikh: Please see review of Maritim Royal Peninsula Sharm To sum up, Memphis provided a very efficient and friendly service at a really good value rate. It was particularly lovely to have our own guides instead of being in a massive group as this allowed for greater flexibility. If you're thinking of going to Egypt you should consider using Memphis!
