Solo Traveller

I didn’t realize how much I needed this trip until I was there. Everything felt smooth and thoughtfully planned, which allowed me to relax and actually absorb the experience. Alexandria, in particular, surprised me. It offered a sense of calm I wasn’t expecting. I left Egypt feeling grounded and grateful — something I don’t say often after travel.

We were a group with different interests, and somehow this tour managed to satisfy everyone. The guide handled questions effortlessly and kept things moving without pressure.

The contrast between Cairo and Alexandria made the journey feel complete. By the final day, we felt connected to the places we visited rather than just informed about them.
