I was in on a business trip to Cairo with my work colleagues for 1 week.. Honestly, I was very worried to travel to Egypt because of the many reports I read on Covid-19 spread in Egypt and how carelessly the government is handling it. It took me almost 2 days to decide if I would join my other co-workers in this trip or not but finally I made up my min to go. Seeing Saqqara Pyramid was one of my childhood dreams and I did not want to miss it. Unbelievable experience !!!! :) To stand in the front of the oldest man-made stone tomb was overwhelming. The place is a little bit far from Giza necropolis and we were almost in the middle of fascinating sandy desert surrounded by a punch of pyramids everywhere.. What have even tripled our enjoyment is the very.. very knowledgeable tour guide {Bassem} who transferred us to 3600 BC with his amazing guiding and his second to none sense of humor. The clever driver {Imad} who used to sanitize the car on every stop also was polite and descent. But the lunch we had in the local restaurant nearby Memphis was one of the most delicious meals I had while traveling {I am an experiences frequent traveler by the way }.. Honestly, the guys at Travel2Egypt made our day a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks for all of you..
