My husband and I planned our Egypt, Jordan and Israel trip with Tarek at Egypt and Beyond Travel. The itinerary was exactly what we wanted because Tarek listened to our requests and made every effort to work it into our trip. Every detail was taken care of which left us to just enjoy our trip. The private guides we had everyday were incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their country and its history. The drivers and staff who helped us were magnificent and treated us like family (maybe even better than family!). Everyone truly went out of their way to make our trip perfect. As an example, when we needed a fuse for our converter our driver went all over until he found a replacement. In my opinion, a private tour is the best way to see Egypt, Jordan and Israel. We didn’t get lost in a crowd of tourist trying to hear the description of what we were seeing. We weren’t climbing on and off of buses all day or waiting in line to receive our room key. Regarding these three countries, not for one moment did I feel unsafe anywhere we visited. There was security at the entrance to every hotel, major tourist site and many street corners in the major cities. Tarek told us we would have the ‘trip of a lifetime’ and we really did. Egypt, particularly, is a must see for every traveler or history buff. It was truly incredible.
