We had a wonderful fantastic day with this trip. Our tour guide driver is Yassin. He is very kind, polite, helpful, accommodating, friendly and took good care of us. This trip is so memorable and enjoyable. I would like to thank also Bola George our driver in Fayoum Desert very nice and kind. I will recommend this trip to anyone going to Egypt. Our drivers guide Yassin and Bola are both professional and highly recommended. They deserve 20/10 more than perfect.
