I was disappointed with the trip from the cruise ship to the Pyramids. I have saved all my life to ge there, and the trash on each side of the streets was unbelieveable! The hawkers were all over me at the pyramids (maybe because I was a blonde female and with no husband! I was literally rescued many times by strangers that couldn't believe they would not take "NO" for an answer. They knocked my new $450. camera out of my hand and broke it. I had to buy from them to get rid of them! At one ... Read Full Review | Report This

Alexandria, on the other hand, was simply magnificant....with none of the problems of C ... Read Full Review | Report This
