GBThe experience was a once in lifetime… The experience was a once in lifetime type of experience. From the start to end it was both fun and educational. From the food to the site’s we encountered. It was great, even left myself speechless in certain places we visited.

GBAtlantis tour is the definition of… Atlantis tour is the definition of excellence in tourism, hospitality, and courtesy. Over 10 exceptional days between Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan, we have been pampered on a daily basis by the great Maher Abdel Wahab and his amazing crew. Maher and his team, especially our extraordinary guide, professor Ahmad Mohammad Abo el Magd, presented to our Pepperdine University group the beauty of Egypt through a thoughtful, comprehensive, and detailed program. Professor Ahmad’s passion & knowledge about the mystery and the history of Egypt is fascinating. Maher’s personal care towards each one of our group while accommodating everyone’s needs on a daily basis left us already with nostalgia for Egypt and it’s good people. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy the view of the Nile from Al Jazeera hotel and it’s beautiful terrace. Atlantis Tours lead by Dr. Maher Abdel Wahab genuinely deserves a trophy 🏆

GBGroup tour of Egypt with ~70 people… Group tour of Egypt with ~70 people from a well-known U.S. university. Two full tour buses. We definitely felt safe, with one or two security folks on each bus at all times and a police escort following us everywhere. Got the feeling that, contrary to the trip literature and State Dept website advisories, there was a threat around every corner. There was so much concern, in fact, that we were never allowed time to walk about freely and explore. This dynamic may have been largely due to the anxious and controlling school administration, which was always worried about some squeaky wheel suing them later. On the flip side, some of the organized events were incredible, and that was all due to careful planning on the part of Atlantis. The balloon ride was particularly spectacular. Just the logistics of getting 70 people into and out of airports, museums, food venues, and camel rides (just to name a few) required Herculean effort. Maher, the trip leader from Atlantis, was always very caring and kind and attending to every detail of everyone’s needs. They also had very informative and knowledgeable Egyptologists that truly gave us an education in everything from history to culture to hieroglyphics. If you are considering a trip to Egypt, you would do well to choose Atlantis, but insist that the group be no larger than 20 people, and don’t go with an institution that is more concerned with liability than experience.

GB12 days in Egypt Took our PHD Program on a 12 days excursion - educational and adventurous - through the north and south of Egypt! Our guides were funny, knowledgable, kind and proud to share their home with us travelers. We felt taken care of with every need met or question answered and it truly was the experience of a lifetime!
