Thank you Memphis Tours for this amazing Christmas and New Year vacation!
We truly enjoyed ourselves on this amazing trip. It was the first time we got to see the new year's fireworks in a place outside of the states.
My family and I booked a Christmas trip to Egypt with Memphis tours and it was truly magical. Everything was well organized. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We had a really great time there.
A fabulous Christmas vacation! Highly recommended!
We had an amazing time in Egypt celebrating the New Year in a very new and unique way!
