Lunch at a local eatery refreshed us for the long trip

Was Abu Simbel worth the grueling trip? Absolute-
ly. If we were to do it again, we would pick a cooler
time of year, fly down and back, and talk Mohamed

IF YOU GO
Egypt is best explored with help from an experi-
enced tour company and highly educated guides
that help you get the most from your visit and keep
you out of harm’s way. We turned to highly-rated
Memphis Tours for a 10-day package that included
tours with top guides, five-star accommodations and
complete transportation including air travel in the
country and all transfers. Whatever tour company
you select, you will find the guides make your ad-
venture safer, infinitely more educational, entertain-
ing and much less stressful.
