Great crafts but too expensive! Not really good for bargain shopping. Good for someone with unlimited funds.

The tour was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind, and went out of his way to cater for us. We asked to extend and visit the old Egyptian Museum, and it was an amazing experience. The trip was my mother's first time to Egypt, and our guide made it a wonderful and memorable day for her. We saw carpets, papyrus, oil perfumes, spices, cotton and textiles, markets, AND extended to go the museum. It was a wonderful day, and really fantastic experience.
