5.00We had a wonderful 5 day tour, with the ‘Amwaj’ being the perfect accommodation. The staff and crew were excellent and the food varied and very good. We could not have wished for a better guide than Ahmed. He gave us a fascinating insight into ancient Egypt over our wonderful five day tour of the Nile. Everything was organised to perfection and we now have some incredible memories thanks to Ahmed. Would highly recommend
