Loretta Sue Caldwell –
If you’ve ever wanted to time-travel in style , this is it . From the grandeur of Karnak to the sacred air in Abydos , everything was majestic . The desert safari with mint tea under the stars ? Will be telling my grandkids about that one . The hotels felt more like palaces than accommodations , and the spiritual element of the trip was truly grounding . I left Egypt feeling more connected — to the world , to history , and to myself . Bonus points for the towel origami animals in our room each night !

You haven’t lived until you’ve stood in front of the Sphinx with fresh falafel in hand and the sun rising behind you . This tour nailed every detail . Our group was small , so it always felt personal . We flew across cities , but it never felt rushed . The history was jaw-dropping , but the creature comforts — plush hotels , private guides , delicious local meals — made it a true vacation . Also , huge props for the Wi-Fi on the bus . That’s how I uploaded my pyramid selfie in real time .
Boone Crawford –
The itinerary was well-curated , with just enough structure and room for magic . The Temple of Isis was a personal highlight — there’s something ethereal about that place . The cruise on the Nile was like something out of a movie , with candlelit dinners and stargazing from the top deck . The cultural immersion was deep — from the food to the local crafts in the markets . I came home with a suitcase full of scarabs and a heart full of peace .

The whole experience was unreal . I’ve done spiritual retreats before , but nothing like this . Egypt has a heartbeat , and you feel it from day one . We visited the Temple of Hathor — I swear the carvings were telling me jokes . Then a desert jeep ride almost had me screaming like a schoolboy . The trip balanced luxury and adventure so well . We meditated at sunrise , then rode camels by noon . Felt like Lara Croft , but with softer towels
Ruby Mae Ellison –
We expected to learn , but we didn’t expect to be transformed . This 12-day journey was like a masterclass in ancient mystery with a side of spa-level comfort . Our flight into Aswan was smooth , and every transfer was perfectly timed — zero stress . The Great Pyramid’s scale left me breathless , and the guides made everything feel alive with stories . Luxor’s temples at sunset ? Genuinely moving . Also , whoever picked the hotels deserves a raise . They had lavender oil by the bed and dates on arrival . Loved it
Chuck Dillard –
This trip had all the drama of an adventure flick — secret tombs , lost temples , and ancient symbols glowing under torchlight ( okay , LED light , but still ) . But make it luxury . I’m talking boutique hotels , private guides , and no stress whatsoever . The Temple of Horus blew my historical mind . I didn’t expect the emotional part — you feel Egypt here . It’s wild . Ten outta ten sandstorms
Darla Jean Whittaker –
Sleeping under desert stars after visiting the Temple of Isis ? Unreal . I didn’t expect to feel so held by the experience . The guides were super informed — like , PhD-level smart . Even my skeptical husband was taking notes and asking questions by day four . We sailed the Nile like Cleopatra ( I wore a scarf and everything ) and every hotel felt like a scene from a Bond movie . Also , Egyptian coffee ? Obsessed .
Mack Jenkins –
This wasn’t a vacation — it was a portal . Giza set the tone , but it was the spiritual energy in Abydos that hit different . The hieroglyphs feel like ancient emails from another time . I even started sketching the symbols like I was being called . Hotels were dreamy , with rooftop pools and soft sheets ( bless Egyptian cotton ) . I could get used to this blend of mystery school knowledge and mango smoothies . My only regret ? Not buying more papyrus art .
Sue Ellen McCoy –
I never imagined Egypt would feel this luxurious . From the moment we landed , the service was white-glove . Five-star hotels , breezy flights between cities , even the felucca ride felt like a red carpet experience . The temples of Horus and Hathor ? Pure magic . I actually cried in the Valley of the Kings — no shame . The best part ? We weren’t rushed like those big tour groups . We had time to feel Egypt . I swear the Sphinx winked at me .
Billy Ray Hargrove –
Ever feel like the ancient gods are whispering secrets to you while you sip hibiscus tea in a luxury Nile-view suite ? That was day three . This 12-day journey through Egypt had me walking like an Egyptian and meditating like a monk . The Great Pyramids ? Mind-blowing . The Temple of Isis ? That energy hits deep . Luxor ? Felt like I walked straight into a living textbook . Every site felt like it was handpicked to blow my socks off ( even though I wore sandals ) . Also , shoutout to the air-conditioned buses and comfy hotels — heat ? Never heard of her .
