| Dear Amanda,
I am sorry, that it
has taken me so
long to say Thank
You to you for our
most wonderful and
nearly perfect
trip!
We loved every
minute of it and
your arrangement
were excellent.
Hussein and all the
other guides, were
wonderful guides,
helpful , friendly
and well educated
and knowledgeable
about their
countries.
Especially Hussein
went beyond the
call of duty to
help and guide us.
We just loved
him!
He was the best
guide I have ever
had!
We were absolutely,
totally pleased
with our trip: the
accommodations were
fabulous, the bus
clean and
spacious--especiall
y the ice box with
water and juice in
every bus were much
appreciated! We
felt well-taken
care off and knew,
somebody was there
for us all the
time.
Thank you for all
the great
arrangements and
all the advice and
all the
arrangements and
constant questions
you answered for
us.
We will send you
many referrals , I
hope , of friends
who want to visit
Egypt.
Amanda, if you ever
need a referral or
if you want us to
write to your
manager or give a
testimonial for you
company, I would be
happy to do
that!
Please let Hussein
also know how much
we have appreciated
his work and
friendship. I will
write to him as
well.
With best
regards,
Maria and the rest
of the group

| Greetings Sarah,
Now that we have
just returned home
from Egypt, I just
wanted to take the
time to tell you
how much of a
wonderful time we
had with your tour
organization. From
top to bottom you
and your
organization were
competely
wonderful. We will
give you a more
detailed feedback
soon once we are
fully rested, but
we wanted to say
thanks for giving
us a completely
fantastic time.
Rest assured that
we will be
recommending you
and your staff to

the future.
Warmest Regards,
Andrew Piner |

| Mr. Mohamed,
Just a note to give
you an
"unsolicited&q
uot; evaluation of
my recent
experience with
Lady Egypt.
For lack of a
better term, I will
use one of
yours...."Mom
Tez"!!!! or
100% excellent in
"U.S.speak&quo
t; To begin, I had
many doubts about
what to expect from
a company I had
chosen from many
while on Internet,
as there were many
wonderful choices
that my sister and
I had looked into.
We were drawn by
your willingness to
work with both our
dreams as well as
budgets for this
venture, both of
which were
accomplished by
your consideration
and planning.
Speaking only for
myself, although my
sister will
probably agree,
Lady Egypt is
responsible for
what may be... the
"trip of a
lifetime".
From the moment eye
contact was
established with
your representative
Boulis in the
airport, I knew I
was in efficient,
yet, compassionate
hands. My needs
were addressed and
attended to from
day one to day
10...something that
is often forgotten
once the money has
changed hands.
Although Boulis was
the tour manager we
dealt with the
most, your
representatives who
greeted us and
assured our
accommodations were
to our liking in
both Aswan and
Luxor, were both
professional as
well as personable.
Our hotels in
Cairo, Aswan and
Luxor were
wonderful, often
breathtaking. We
thank you (sukran)
for your
efforts.
The Guides....that
is another story. A
fabulous hotel can
exhibit comfort,
luxury, charm and
warmth but the
guides, the people
Lady Egypt arranged
to show us this
country, were all
of that and more.
Saleed was
magnificent as he
took his time to
not only
"tell" us
about things, (ie.
Pyramids or
Churches etc) but
also explain things
relating to them.
His knowledge was
vast yet his
instinct to
teach/explain was
simple and very
understandable.
During our visit to
the Egyptian
Museum, he
demonstrated his
talent beyond
imagination...I
wish I could have
spent a week just
there with him.
Amed Aboudy was
simply, well, a
gift. Something one
couldn't pay for,
yet Lady Egypt made
this happen. Mr.
Kamel, I don't know
if you know the
story, but you need
to ask the man who
made magic happen,
and that would be
Boulis. Mr. Aboudy
guided us through
Philae, Edfu, Kom
Ombo, Karnak and
Luxor temples. His
knowledge of these
sites was as large
as the columns of
which we were
looking, yet his
lesson plan
regarding this
"wonders"
was easily
understood. It was
our fortune to have
him accompany us
back to Cairo as we
toured the ancient
mosques and the
market (which I can
never spell!). It
was also Amed, who
handled so well,
situation with me,
as I traveled on to
Alexandria after my
sister Rachel had
left. This man is
an "Egyptian
treasure" and
frankly,needs to be
treated as one.
Mr. Kamel, what is
there left to say?
Thank you sir. I
really don't know
how you did it. I
really don't know
how you could do it
for the $$ we
spent. When people
ask "So, how
was Egypt?" I
just respond
"Magical
!..." what
else can I say? You
and Lady Egypt as
remarkable, and if
ANYONE and I mean
ANYONE needs a
recommendation,
have them call
me....I will be
happy to tell them
the truth.
It's late in my
morning, so it must
be early in yours.
I hope this starts
your week off in a
good way. Peace,
brother...
Sincerely,
Richard Miller

Just a short note
to let you know we
got back home OK
after a truly
memorable visit to
Egypt. On behalf
of everyone, I
would like to thank
you and your team
for making our
visit a fantastic
experience.
Everything went
faultlessly and the
itinery was perfect
and your staff were
outstanding. I
particularly
identify Machmud in
Aswan and Adel in
Cairo (please
excuse spelling of
names – I’m sure
you know who I
mean) as being
thoroughly
professional and
skilful in their
work and are real
assets to your
company.
It seems there will
be very difficult
times ahead for
everyone in
business and if
there is anything I
can do to assist
Lady Egypt by way
of independent
recommendation to
potential clients,
please do not
hesitate to contact
me.
I wish you all
continued success
and thanks again
for a wonderful
trip.
Cheers Janet

| Dear Amanda,
I have put together
some comments on
our trip, maybe it
is informative for
you. Everything was
perfect - and we
are still enjoying
it thoroughly here
in Sheraton. We
were delivered
throughout Egypt
like a parcel of
raw eggs, a very
unsual experience
for us as we
normally have to
take care of
everything
ourselves when we
travel (:-)). As
you can see, also
the last drop-off
has been
successful, e
arrived safe and
sound last night in
Soma Bay. The
convoy was canceled
for some unknown
reason soour driver
was driving alone
through the desert.
We were amazed, the
road is in en
excellent condition
and the landscape
is very
interesting, maybe
we should have
stopped a day to go
hiking in the
mountains (probably
we wouldn´t be
allowed I suppose).
Thank you very much
Eva Henning

A big thank you for
your help in
setting up our trip
to Cairo from Sharm
whilst we were on
holiday in Egypt
last month.
Expectations were
high having had
such a good
experience last
year in Luxor and
we were not
disappointed.
Mohammed in
particular was
fantastic, so
knowledgeable,
friendly and
entertaining. A
big thank you to
everyone else as
well. Right from
the pickup at our
hotel in Sharm
until we were
dropped off on our
return everything
went like
clockwork. I am
sure we will return
to Egypt before too
long and will again
look forward to
another Lady Egypt
tour.
regards &
thanks

| Hi Amanda,
My father-in-law
had coordinated
with Lady Egypt
Tours to organise a
week long visit to
Egypt. I am writing
to thank you for
organising a truly
memorable holiday.
Your pre-departure
information as also
the tips on
'baksheesh' were
especially useful.
I would also like
to thank the tour
reps, guides and
drivers for their
extremely courteous
and friendly
attitude and
contributing to
making our holiday
pleasurable. We
would especially
like to thank Ahmad
(our tour rep in
Cairo) & Nadim
(our tour guide in
Aswan & Luxor).
Many thanks &
all the best

| Hi Amanda,
We are all home
safe and sound from
our marvelous
Egypt/Jordan trip
and we want to
thank you so much!
We appreciate
everything that
you, in putting
together our
itinerary, and the
guides, drivers and
representatives in
both countries, did
for us . Everyone
from your company
did their best for
us and as a result
we had the trip of
a lifetime. Egypt
everywhere we went
exceeded our
expectations. And
our time in Jordan,
especially of
course Petra, was
wonderful. Bob and
I were thrilled
with our
desert/oases leg,
too. I know I
speak for all of us
in expressing our
gratitude to all of
you at Lady
Egypt.

Lauren Baxter
| Hi Amanda! I just
wanted to get back
to you and tell you
what a WONDERFUL
time we had in
Egypt and Jordan!
What an
experience!! I’m
sooo tired!!! Ha
ha!!
We saw so much, did
so much and learned
so much!!
I can’t wait to
share my
experiences with my
clients and
hopefully get them
to visit your
wonderful country
also!
I particularly
enjoyed the Mena
House Hotel and the
Basma Hotel in
Aswan. The Wadi Rum
Camp was fun, good
food and
entertainment. The
Petra Palace hotel
was a nice hotel in
such a GREAT
location that I
would really
recommend that one.
But I also have to
tell you the one
that I really
didn’t like at all
was St. Catherines
Village. It was
really bad. I would
have given it a one
star. Gail’s room
was worse than
ours, but at least
we were only there
for a few hours.
The hike up Mt.
Sinai was something
else! We made it
about ¼ of the way
up and then decided
to ride the camels.
That was fun! Loved
it!! The hardest
part of course was
climbing the 700
steps at the top.
Oooooh, my poor
muscles! I’m glad I
did it though. I
LOVE experiences
like that!
With so many
wonderful things
that we did, it’s
hard to pick my
favorite. But I
really liked the
Valley of the
Kings. The
hieroglyphics in
the tombs were
unbelievable! The
colors were still
so vibrant. It gave
me chills.
Petra in Jordan of
course was awesome
also. Those Bedouin
boys were something
else! Gail and I
want to put a
Bedouin Boy
calendar together!!
J
As for the tour
guides …Mohamed in
Cairo was
excellent, as was
our driver.
Mohamed in Aswan to
Cairo was also very
good. He’s young,
we called him
Junior. Bashar in
Jordan was great!
He said he knew you
and Sam. The driver
in the Sinai was
crazy……a couple of
times we didn’t
know if we were
going to make
it!
We enjoyed meeting
you and Sam! The
big question is
…….did you have
your
baby?????!!!!!!!!
Well, now it’s back
to work…ugh! Hard
to get back into
the swing of
things!
Thank you so
much!

| Dear Amanda
Words can not
express how very
much I enjoyed the
tour. It was
everything I had
hoped. Adel and
Aamer were great.
We liked being the
only people on the
tour since we did
get to know them a
little and that
made the trip all
the more enjoyable.
The Pyramids have
had such an affect
on me. There
really must be
something mystical
about them to see
to draw you to them
as they do.
Cairo is a city
that could do the
same I think,
though I would
never drive there,
ever.
People have asked
if we felt safe in
Egypt and I can
tell them that I
never felt there
was any danger.
The police presence
was very visible.
But even on the
streets I never
felt a problem of
any kind.
I just want to
thank you for all
your help on making
this trip of a life
time so
wonderful.
Very best
wishes,
Laurie Wesolick |
