Terrible! Did he think we were just dumb tourists? He told us he didnt believe the earth was round, on a tour of Saqqara he ranted on about the Great Pyramid being a huge machine to generate energy and that’s how the heavy sarcophogii were moved. In the Serapeum if saqqara we were told no one had any idea if what the big sarcophogii were for and that nothing had ever been found in them and no one knew how they got there - but my previous reading indicated it was the cult of bulls and winches were found. He was a kook! I want my money back. $146 Canadian charged when reserving this trip, 2380 E
Ein wirklich schönes Erlebnis, das ich nur empfehlen kann. Wenn man am frühen Morgen startet, Abholung vom Hotel um 07:00 Uhr morgens, kann man dieses riesige Areal, die Djoser Pyramide und die verschiedenen Gräber ohne großen Andrang genießen. Hamada ist eine sehr gute Guide und vermittelt die einzelnen Sehenswürdigkeiten mit sehr umfassenden Informationen. Das Inhotep Museum darf man sich auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen.
