From
US $2,180

jaws got sore from dropping in awe every time we entered another glorious mosque. (more)Mar Thomson

Memorable parts?
There were many memorable bits. Watching the turtles return to sea while the sun was rising, sledging down the dunes with my children, swimming in the Wadi's. Not sure I can choose only one.
Tips?
Don't try and squeeze too much into it. There are some lovely hotels and locations but we often found ourselves arriving just at or after sunset and leaving early the next morning.
Local benefits?
We were aware of the conservation side of things but not really... (more)Jane Skinner

Memorable parts?
Luxor was the most interesting and beautiful. Thrilling to see the Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple and Karnak.
Tips?
It's very full on and you don't spend very much time in each place and in my opinion there's too little time at the key sites. Be ready for lots of early mornings, bus journeys and deadlines. The felucca trip is a huge disappointment.
Local benefits?
Not at all. The group unexpectedly stopped for camel rides at the pyramids and the animal... (more)Gregor Graham

The varied places we covered across Rajasthan from the key places (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Pushkar) to the less visited places (Bundi, Bassi, Bijaipur)
which gave us a better insight to the culture food and people of Rajasthan. We got to experience all modes of transport, Delhi metro, trains, autorickshaws,
comfy cars, jeeps and camels. The pace was just right with a good selection of optional activities. Tarang, our Guide was outstanding and really made sure... (more)Yvette de Souza

Memorable parts?
Quality of the Egyptian guides - superb historical and local knowledge
Tips?
Explain clearly what pace of trip you want - in hindsight we could have left out some places in Cairo to avoid long drives in traffic across the city. We would have focused on one or two places (such as the museum) and spent longer there.
Local benefits?
It benefited local people but not the environment or conservation. Personally I would prefer not to take tours using animal rides... (more)Lucy Molleson
