It was a wonderful trip planned by Pat Remler and hosted by CulturED Travel. The desert was fascinating in all its forms and secrets. The drivers were skillful and likeable as was Ahmet who was our Egyptian manager. Stacey was fun to get to know and our group was diverse in their professions and interesting in their conversations.

This was my fifth trip to Egypt and it has to one of the most memorable. The organization was at the CulturEd level which is to say excellent. The subject matter was just stunning. The beauty of the desert is amazing, and the history of the oasis are spectacular. If you have been on the Karim tour on the Nile and you are looking for even more from Egypt, this is the trip for you.

Cultured Travel is the answer to one’s innate longing for exploration of the world; people and their history, their culture, their life, all of the many ways they interact with their environment and their animal life, the tools they use, the foods they eat, their beliefs and daily practices that differ from one’s own. Cultured Travel offers these experiences while feeling safe and secure. They have a talent for gathering people who are open and engaging and pleasant travel companions. On this trip, the guides were extraordinary experts in the history and culture of the region. And the food was great!
