Booking-Tours's customer service team has the best and most caring and efficient operators in any travel business I have used. They have, without doubt, made every effort to secure a booking for our small group of friends, on the cruise we wanted and on the date we wanted. Despite this being booked out, Muhamed grabbed some cabins that were just released and held them for us. Not just he, but others such as Nadine, Ibrahim, and Ashraf in Cairo, did a fantastic job of always being on top of the situation and trying to secure for us What we wanted. Thanks, Muhamed for getting those places - exemplary service - and great pro-active work! I commend you to your boss as a great example of a valuable employee. BTW we have all booked and paid our deposits and the cabins have been confirmed. Looking forward to a great holiday. H. Else

Petra was only recently rediscovered by the western world. Recently it has been named one of the seven wonders of the world. Entering Petra through the Siq you will soon see why. The first look at the Treasury is astounding. The workmanship and the sheer size of the Treasury will amaze you. There is much to see in Petra, many more facades, tombs, a Roman theater, caves where they once buried the dead, and prayed over them, and much more. At one time the Nabateans controlled all of the water in the area, see the great water cisterns that they built.
Inclusions: Transfer, Local guide on Petra site, Lunch
Exclusions: Border fees - 65$ per person / Visa to Jordan - 75$ per person

Highlight after highlight. The pace of our tour was excellent with chill days well placed. All our hotels were excellent and exceeded expectations. The sites were mind-blowing, the people on our trip were diverse which added to the experience and we made some great new friends. What made our trip, however, was our Egyptologist and tour guide Ramdan. The man's passion and love for his country and its incredible history enriched our experience greatly. His knowledge is phenomenal and his communication skills and storytelling are second to none. Ramadan went way beyond his regular duties and extended himself to become our friend as well. He took us to places outside of our itinerary because he wanted to and was available for support outside his regular working hours. I would highly recommend this tour for its mind-blowing sites, passionate and knowledgeable tour guides, extraordinary history, the friendships made as well as the hospitality of the locals. At no stage did we feel our safety was compromised either. I would happily travel through Egypt, Jordan or Israel again and catch the sites we missed on this trip. Having said that I would like to thank Booking-tours for providing a memorable experience, all our new friends for enhancing the experience and especially Ramadan for being a wonderful Egyptologist, tour guide and dear friend!
