    Super Hotel med mange hjælpsomme medarbejdere. Ærgerligt ikke at møde nogen guide fra TUI - spørgsmål om en ekstra oplevelse blev dermed ikke eksekveret og dermed heller ikke bestilt. Vi synes at I som rejseselskab skal ADVARE alle rejsene til Ægypten om roaming / mobile data - der trækkes lynhurtigt (30 sekunder) mange penge (i mit tilfælde 450 kr.) fra YouSee i afgifter fordi der benyttes mobile data, hvis man ikke har fået slået mobile data fra.

    Het is echt een topervaring. De rit er naartoe is wel heel lang. In totaal 6 uren. Halverwege stop je bij een restaurant, waar je wat kunt eten en naar het toilet kunt. Keurige toiletten trouwens. Vervolgens rijd je door naar Caïro. Wij hadden echt een top gids, Mina. Hij kon Nederlands en wist heel veel te vertellen. De lunch was ook echt heel goed. Het museumbezoek was te kort, er is zoveel te zien, maar dan moet je helaas weer terug.

    Long day but packed with fantastic content and going home through central cairo was magical (I would skip the optional boatride there). FANTASTIC guide! Great transfer/pickup from our hotel in el gouna (included). Took a while for us to the confirmation of the transfer - but overall a GREAT experience! Recommended!!!

    Muuten kiva matka, hieno nähdä pyramidit. Täällä TUIn sivuilla oli kuitenkin matkan kestoksi kerrottu 18h. Tosiasiassa matkamme kesti 24h. Sekä ilmoittamanne lähtöaika, klo 1.00, aikaistui tunnilla. Lisäksi sivuillanne ei ollut mainintaa, että samalla matkalla poiketaan hajuvesi tai papyrus puodissa, eikä myöskään Niilin jokiristeilystä (vapaaehtoinen toki mutta jossain sekin aika olisi pitänyt kuluttaa). Nämä söivät aikaa pyramideiltä ja museosta. Joihin olisi ollut kiva tutustua pidempäänkin.
