It’s long of course, and we had a little waiting around which prolonged our day (they did not cut our attraction time down, instead we just got back late, which is the right way to handle it IMO).”

Then we were taken to see the pyramids which were amazing. The Sphinx was brilliant to see - a surreal experience, couldn't believe I was there. Lunch was great. The Grand Egyptian Museum was brilliant - wonderful to see Tutankhamun's Sarcophagi, throne, jewellery and gold death mask. So glad I went on the trip to see all the wonderful Egyptian wonders. However, there was one NEGATIVE thing that spoiled the trip for me which I have reported…”
