Thank you, Dana Gatt, for all your hard work in putting together an amazing trip of a lifetime for me!! It went very smoothly because of your special care in planning my trip! Heba was an excellent resource and help while I was traveling alone in Egypt. Thank you, Heba, for the upgraded room to a suite on the cruise, your hard work, being available to me for questions, and coordinating contact with my guides. Omar did a great job with the tours in Aswan and Nubian village, so much knowledge he has and made it a lot of fun! The meal at the Nubian village was out of this world amazing! I’m still thinking about the trip!
