DIYholiday

We are a family of six from Malaysia and Singapore. Visited Egypt from Dec 28 2010 to Jan 8th 2011. We found Memphis Tours and checked with trip advisor's readers' comments. THANKS HEAPS TO TRIP ADVISOR and her Readers ! One name which popped out was Mustafa Ahmed. I remember reading good reviews about Memphis and him When I wrote to Memphis, Mr Mustafa Ahmed was the one who replied me. From then on it was smooth sailing. We were in Cairo for a few days. We also took a day trip by flight from Cairo to Abu Simbel. Later we flew to Luxor to join cruise to Aswan. All along we were assigned a tour leader Mr Hassan Mosleh. He met us and also see us off from the airport whenever we need to fly. He gave us a mobile so that we can always get in touch with him. His co-ordination was perfect He was great. Recommended good attractions to feel some free days in Cairo and Luxor. We had free days because of our flight schedule. Every\thing as promised by memphis was fulfilled. We had knowlegeable Egyptologists in Cairo(Miss Ahmandie) as well as Luxor and Aswan (Dr Salem). Though we booked our own hotel and internal flights and all ground tours and cruise by memphis, there was just one hiccup in Abu Simbel. Guide did not turn up due to mis-communication . That was resolved quickly. As for the cruise, we told them our expectations of the type of cruise we wanted and we got one better!. Tip is - Communications in detail prior to departure is important. I did that. I heard from some others who were in the same cruise. They joined memphis tours too, but they didn't get the level of service like I did. Some were surprised by our praises of Memphis and some expressed discontent with parts of their tours. I supposed we were lucky to get Mr Mustafa Ahmed and his team - efficient, trustworthy and friendly . We had a splendid ,wonderful and carefree holiday :)
