Now is actually a great time to visit the Middle East - My wife and I travel extensively and usually on our own. But getting older, and never having traveled in the Middle East, we decided we needed some help in order to fully enjoy our visit. After considerable research, we settled on Memphis Tours to make arrangements for a personalized itinerary. We are very pleased that we did. Of course, the tragedy taking place in Gaza did make us reconsider our plans, as it has for so many. Would travel be safe with so much trouble in the region? Our chief tour organizer for Memphis, Abdo, continually reassured us, but also respected our concerns and offered a variety of other options. In the end, we decided to proceed as planned. We are very glad that we didn't cancel or postpone our trip. Everything went very smoothly, thanks to the very professional and caring staff who assisted us along the way. We divided our time between Egypt and Jordan, and in both countries the tour leaders, guides, and drivers were excellent. Special thanks go to Monica. Waleed & Kadria in Cairo, to Abdallah in Aswan & Luxor, and to Raed in Jordan, because we spent the most time with them, but all of the Memphis staff were dependable, competent and personable. Meeting such wonderful people was at least as memorable an experience as the visits to so many fascinating sites. We learned a lot and enjoyed an unforgettable time. We returnied home with much to share with friends and family, and we encourage others to take a similar trip. Truth is, this is a great time to tour phenomenally famous sites without having to endure huge crowds. And because the tourist industry is so important in these countries, your visit can actually be helpful to those who work in tourism.

Thank You Memphis Tours ! - Our tour guide Ahmed Farahat and driver Haytham Nazeeh were both excellent and picked us up at the beautiful port of Ain Sukhna, driving us all the way from there to The Great Pyramids Of Egpyt and The magnificent Sphinx. Mariam at Memphis Tours is a great worker, and was also able to handle the last - minute date and time changes which our cruise ship forced us into, even after we were fully - booked on this nice tour. We were also taken to a nice, native Egyptian restaurant in nearby Giza, for lunch. It was the final day of Ramadan, and everyone was in a joyous mood. At the end of our good Memphis Tour, we were taken back to our nice ship. A beautiful day 😀 !
