A fantastic trip out to san el-hagar and tell basta It was a shame that the indoor museum was not really open at Tell Basta but it was thanks to the guide we got in at all for the very short time we managed. Apart from that it was an exciting day with a good guide and driver. As a solo female i could.not have felt safer. I was looked after by everyone involved
This was a fantastic tour the guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Great day all round. This is a little off the beaten track but we'll worth the drive!
