“Royal treatment 😊 - Today we were together with Shauki, our driver Mahmoud in Hurghada and were treated like kings. Every wish was fulfilled, even such an unusual wish as the purchase of a charging cable for my Braun razor, which unfortunately had discharged on arrival in the plane and had already made me a full beard wearer unintentionally. Shauki really went to great lengths, explained a lot about the country, people and culture and gave us a great day in Hurghada.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-24
