Un voyage inoubliable à travers l'Égypte ! Chaque site était plus spectaculaire que le précédent. Les temples d'Abu Simbel étaient vraiment à couper le souffle. Le moment de détente à Hurghada était bienvenu après tant d'histoire et d'aventure.
I was amazed by the depth of the history and culture in Egypt. Every site was fascinating and the guides were incredibly knowledgeable. Ending the tour with the serene Red Sea was the perfect touch.
Incredibile tour in Egitto! La bellezza delle Piramidi di Giza e la tranquillità del Mar Rosso a Hurghada hanno reso questo viaggio perfetto. Da non perdere assolutamente.
C'était une merveilleuse expérience! J'ai beaucoup apprécié la diversité du programme, des pyramides aux plages d'Hurghada. Cependant, j'aurais aimé passer un peu plus de temps à explorer Alexandrie.
A truly unforgettable experience! I loved exploring the rich history of Egypt, from the mysteries of the Sphinx to the majesty of the Valley of the Kings. The time spent at the Red Sea was the cherry on top!
Eine beeindruckende Reise durch Ägypten, mit vielen kulturellen Höhepunkten. Die Pyramiden und die Tempel waren majestätisch. Der Aufenthalt am Roten Meer war erholsam, obwohl ich mir etwas mehr Zeit dort gewünscht hätte.
