Day 1

Cairo

Arrive at Cairo International Airport.

Day 2

Cairo

The ancient quarter of Cairo is intense—the colors, the sounds, the density of people—and it’s likely been this way for thousands of years. Your local expert will show you a 12th-century citadel, the beautiful Alabaster Mosque and an unsurpassed collection of priceless artifacts, including mind-boggling treasures once buried with the boy king Tutankhamen.

Note: Dressing modestly is recommended as a show of respect for the culture and customs of the Egyptian people. In particular, women should ensure that shoulders are covered and legs are concealed at least to the knee on all shore excursions throughout this itinerary.

Alyssa was great working with my wife. The only thing that was a bit upsetting is the change in our return flight, Alyssa had booked us for both ways leaving and returning out of Houston. Uniworld changed our return trip for a additional stop in Boston, which made a long trip even longer. Alyssa tried to change it to the original without having any luck. We are also still waiting for our refund from Uniworld on the cancellation of the Israel portion which was cancelled at the last minute. We also had to cancel the Nile River cruise dinner on our last night in Cairo due to our departing flight departure at 1:30am. Between the Israel cancellation and the dinner we are owed a refund of over 5,000.00. Our Uniworld guide in Egypt was Excellent "Mohamed Abdullah". Would highly recommend him.
Response from Grand European Travel:
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our customer service team will follow up with Uniworld on that refund owed and someone will be in touch with you right away.

I have taken a few trips with GET and all were enjoyed greatly due to the service provided in the past but this trip is definitely the topper! The service and friendliness given by all the people involved with this trip to Egypt was above and beyond my expectations. It was a trip of a 'lifetime' for me and would recommend this "Splendors of Egypt and the Nile" to everyone! And just for the record, we all felt very safe and secure in Egypt.

The cost of this trip was worth every dollar spent on the purchase of Splendors of Egypt and the Nile for the simple reason we did not miss any of the sights.

There were good and bad experiences with this trip. Uniworld's main drawing card for trips is that it is all inclusive. This was the assumption I had when booking the trip. I was very unhappy when I discovered that this did not include trips to Egypt - - false advertising? ? ? When all was said and done the trip was great, the crew on the ship could not have done more to make the trip comfortable. Our guide, Akram, was great. His knowledge of Egyptian history was exceptional. Uniworld - clean up your advertising! ! ! !
