Visiting Egypt was a lifelong dream for us, and I cannot imagine a better trip than "Between The Paws." Standing in front of that iconic sphinx was an indescribable thrill; yet, that was just one of many incredible moments packed into this trip. Every guide that helped us, from the airport to the sites was excellent. The small group size allowed us to move more efficiently than larger groups. We loved very minute of this trip.

Delighted by: fellow travelers, Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, 4 Seasons Hotel in Alexandria, Oberoi Zahra ship (particularly cabin Stewart’s). Thank you to Lee-Ann Barker, my AAA Travel Professional in Jacksonville, Fl, for her professionalism, PATIENCE, and warmth throughout the whole process of planning/cancelling/rescheduling and implementing this trip for me while walking me through my COVID travel frustrations. Lee-Ann has been my Travel Professional for all my international travels and, although I now live in a different state, she is still my “go to” for travel! Also, thank you Melanie Delworth of Alexander+Roberts for her quick response to my last-minute dilemma of finding a lab which would provide a PCR test with a QR code. She was “right on” and resolved my issue immediately.

I really can't think of anything I would change. Everything was delightful from accommodations, to sightseeing, to local transportation and security.

Its the right time to visit Egypt, few tourists but it wont last. We got our second shot of vaccination mid February and we took the opportunity to take that trip after a too long stay home. We took the PCR test and flew to the Pharaoh country. On arrival Tarek greet us and manage to get us quickly through the immigration and drive us to the Kempinski Hotel to our beautiful room with view of the Nile. We met Amr our Egyptologist guide, a pleasant, charming and knowledgeable person who show us all the beauty and spectacular realization done four millenaries ago. The cruise on the Oberoi Zahra was a pleasant surprise, superb accommodation, superb service, superb food. Saleh the chef cook a perfectionist make each plate a piece of art. All along the trip all precautions have been made for safety, mask, sanitizer, widely available and used by all staff. Another great plus its a very low crowd that make the visit of the Valley of the Kings very pleasant, no waiting time to visit King Tut Amon tomb, usually its two hours. Many thanks to all the A & R team that make our trip so enjoyable in particularly to Raafat and Tarek who managed professionally all details.
