About this deal

By now you might be wondering why I keep going on about these temples, and surely maybe by this point I’d seen enough. Nothing could be further from the truth. Each temple held it’s own unique points of interest and fascination, and Sameh’s guiding was always top notch, keeping us informed and entertained throughout. The hotels listed below are ones which On The Go frequently use on this tour. Please note that On The Go reserve the right to substitute these hotels to ones of a similar standard when necessary.

The purpose of bringing all this up is to stress that whilst we were there, there were very few other tourists visiting, even the major tourist sights such as the pyramids. This meant that the folks who usually make a living from selling trinkets and services at these locations were seriously struggling, with any tourist bus that arrived being greeted with some desperation.

Phew. Hopefully this gives you an idea of what to expect on a Travel Talk Tour of Egypt like the one we did! Now, let’s go through a few pro’s and con’s. The magnificence of ancient Egypt comes to brilliant life through jewelry—the most precious and personal of human possessions—in this expansive exhibition at WAM. Timed to open 100 years after the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, Jewels of the Nile: Ancient Egyptian Treasures from the Worcester Art Museum puts the Museum’s collection of early Egyptian jewelry on view for the first time in a century. Remarkable for both its breadth and quality, this collection was assembled by Kingsmill Marrs (d. 1912) and Laura Norcross Marrs (1845 – 1926) and given to WAM by Mrs. Marrs. Excellent Guide. A great guide can really make a trip, and in our case, Sameh really was fantastic. He knew his stuff, he was always hugely enthusiastic, and if anyone had any problems, questions or queries, he went above and beyond to help out. He was definitely a highlight of our trip to Egypt.Jewels of the Nile Day 4 – Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, Luxor, drive to Aswan, Nubian Dinner, night on cruise ship Egypt is Mind Blowingly Awesome. Finally, and this has nothing really to do with Travel Talk, other than how well Sameh made this obvious – Egypt is a truly incredible country. I’d often thought that Italy was a good place to visit for history, but Egypt blows that right out of the water. When you think the by the time of Cleopatra, the Pyramids had already stood for over two thousand years. In fact, we’re closer to the time of Cleopatra now than she was to the time of the Pyramids. It’s a fascinating country to visit, and one that everyone with even the vaguest of interest in the development of civilisation should add to their list.

This said, I would definitely still recommend travelling to Egypt. The people are friendly, the Travel Talk guides know their stuff, and the country is home to some of the most impressive historical sights you are ever going to see. You cannot fail to be impressed by the Pyramids, and the way they have stood for thousands of years, as world civilisations have risen and fallen around them.It’s a tour. Fairly obviously, this is a tour, made up of a group. So, there are downsides to this sort of travelling compared to independent travel, in terms of flexibility, timing, what you are going to see, and so on. Of course, there are advantages, in that everything is taken care of for you. So this isn’t really a downside, just a fact, that a group tour isn’t for everyone. Although you probably already know if that’s you by now! a b Ebert, Roger. "Review: 'The Jewel of the Nile'." The Chicago Sun-Times, December 11, 1985. Retrieved: March 27, 2016.

We had a fabulous trip with On-the-Go! Egypt is such a beautiful place, we thoroughly enjoyed the sights and learning about the culture. Highlights for us were definitely the Nile cruise and Abu Simbel – loved it! The sleeper train was also quite an...Eliot, Marc. Michael Douglas: A Biography. New York: Three Rivers Press, 2013.
