What is Included in
the Egypt Tours
And Some of What Makes Our
Tours Different
-
Private
visits and special opportunities to be at the sites when the crowds
are not there
-
Because
we travel in SMALL GROUPS* (limit of 20 persons) we can often
accommodate special requests if you have something you particularly
want to do or see -- a balloon ride at sunrise, donkey ride, or a rarely
visited site? We can usually make your dream come true.
And it may be even better than you dreamed!
*Singletons' Sept 2009 tour has a larger group size.
-
Food
selection at meals is your choice - not a pre-set menu. Two large meals a day are included.
-
Bottled
water is continually available to you at no charge.
-
Special
permits granted by the Egyptian Department of Antiquities - see Itineraries
for each tour
-
You
can be reached 24/7 by telephone (if you choose) -- see
Mobile Telephones
-

receive your calls directly 24/7. You are only as far away as a their
telephone.
