How are you? Well let me say that we had an incredible experience in Egypt and Israel. Everything turned out fine with the flights and hotels in Egypt. We stayed in a palatial room on the second night in Luxor and flew to Cairo the next morning. We got for eighty dollars a day room in the Intercontinental and relaxed all day there til the nightime flight to Tel Aviv. We met with our guide the following morning and he thought we were doing a christian pilgrimage. He changed the whole itinerary when he found out we were jewish and we went to some amazing places. Akko being one and a beautiful grotto on the Lebanese border being another. He also took us to a few archeological sites that were amazing as well. In the Golan Heights we spent a good deal of time doing some nature hikes which we wanted to do in addition to seeing the bunkers at the syrian border. Jay we had such an amazing time. Petra was magnificent. The only thing I'm sorry for is doing it in one day. We should have gone the night before and stayed over. It was a very long day. 12 hours. Anyway we loved Jacky and I would like my friend Barbara to use him. I think he was excellent.

Egypt was amazing as well. The guides were great. They handled the whole fiasco with my illness, very smoothly. Unfortunately it did cost a good deal of money and we didn't get to see the Aswan dam. Oh well. I do have a favor, Is there any way you can find out if I left a necklace in a blue paper bag in either Cairo or Luxor. I had just purchased it in Cairo for my daughter, It might have been left there or taken from my luggage, not sure. Anyway I hope you are well and thank you the trip was a trip of a lifetime.

Yes, go ahead and give him my email address. I would be more than happy to talk about our trip with your client. We have many great memories of our visit to Israel and Egypt. Take good care,

Just to say

We loved it ---- great job

I meant to write to you but got very busy. Yes, everything worked out great; people, places, everything.

Will tell you more back in L.A.

I wanted to let you know that we DID have a wonderful time in Egypt and Israel and Petra. Our fight back to Tel Aviv from Cairo was cancelled, and we did not find out about it until we were checking in through security at the airport at 6:30 am. Our handler from the agency, Noor, did a great job, however, of taking charge and getting us a day room at the older side of the Fairmont. We were delayed about 12 hours in total, and had to fly through Amman, which felt uncomfortable to me but interesting to my husband. We arrived at the Dead Sea, our next stop at 1am, but it all worked out.

Your agency in Egypt was top rate. We particularly enjoyed our guide in Cairo, Banal, who was highly educated, worldly and experienced. The only issue we had was that we didn't stop for lunch. We knew it was Ramadan, and so we asked the second day to stop to eat, and Banal tried to arrange it, but we got caught in a horrible traffic jam and didn't end up stopping and the agency got a little undone about the whole thing and were in fear that we would miss out flight to Luxor. Perhaps you could suggest a box lunch to your agency during Ramadan, so tourists can eat, but avoid the difficulties finding available food.

Our trip was terrific, and Egypt was a highlight.

It was a fantastic trip. Transportation, guides, drivers and body guards all exceeded our expectations. Nile cruise was exceptional. Avie, the guide and driver in Israel, was exceptional. Mature guide that sensed the pulse of his customers. Detailed, professional, courteous, kind, informative and the perfect temperament for our group. Please forward this critic to his agency for a sensational review.

We just got back from our two week vacation that you helped us plan. When we arranged our trip, with myself and three children to Egypt and Israel through your agency, I had no idea that it would be so wonderful. It was a dream come true; the tours - the people we met - the great hotels - and the arrangements were all that we could have hoped for. Thank you for all the help and great memories.

They are very organized, very friendly and the sites are amazing. Tonight is our last night on the cruiser, tomorrow is Aswan, on Wed -Abu Simbel and back to TLV for 6 days. We'll talk when we come back, and I will send u more people...
