Because of the current situation in the Middle East, I was doubting whether I should continue with my years long dream of visiting Egypt. After seeing that the threat level never changed from Level 2, I decided to get on the plane for Egypt in spite of fears and concerns expressed by friends and family. After being greeted at the airport by Nelly with her smile and warmth, any fears that I had, disappeared. And this feeling of confidence and relaxation continued throughout the entire trip, thanks to the staff of Egypt and Beyond, making this a true vacation. The itineary created for me was outstanding, seeing places I never dreamed of — and the deep and thorough knowledge of Hannah and Ahmed, my tour Egyptologists, was extraordinary, I learned so much. I am so glad I came to Egypt and had Egypt and Beyond by my side all the way.
