Dear Christine,

Just wanted to send you a note about our trip to Egypt.  First I have to say that it was an amazing experience and that we were treated well and that all went well.  To me it was the trip I have always wanted to take and it was incredible.  I will remember it forever and I thank you for helping us organize it all.

I just submitted my survey to you - but I forgot to mention Narel (Nael) who met us in Cairo, and who dropped us off again at the airport. He also took us to the Sound and Light show at the Giza Plateau. Nael was wonderful - he met us and brought us through customs at almost midnight - and returned us to the airport for our departure very early in the morning. He also completed our exit forms for us. Huge compliments to your ground staff - and of course all the wonderful drivers who kept us in massive quantities of cold bottled water......

Dear Christine,

I want to comment on our trip. All of the guides and drivers were terrific (our guide in Jerusalem was particularly good). You get very high grades for that, Thanks. The hotels were great ( especially Le Meriden ) We had a great time and would use and recommend STI Travel to our friends. Thanks to you and you staff we really appreciate your service. Thanks again

Thanks for a great trip! It was a 1st class educational and informative experience. When I have travel requests to that part of the world I will definitely think of STI.

I also plan on giving a series of Travel Professor talks at the local libraries next year promoting travel to Turkey. Turkey & STI will also be mentioned in my social media posts & local newspaper.

I'd like to get some of your sales materials to distribute. Also do you have a local contact with the US based Turkey Office of Tourism that you can share?

Thanks again! Hope it didn't take you too long to feel better.

Our group of 6 New Englanders had an exceptional stay in Egypt thanks to Mourad El Abd. Not only did he make the time-line of Egyptian history understandable, but the gods, pharoh's and legends came to life. He introduced us to the Egyptian way of life with his personable manner and sense of humor. We are and older group of travelers who appreciated Mourad, Nabil (helping us faithfully at the airports) and the amenities of STI.

And Cairo and Egypt  were absolutely wonderful. The arrangements went perfectly - we were met at each stop, had great guides and were delivered where we needed to go. It exceeded our expectations in every way. We particularly appreciated the attention and care of Hassan in Cairo. It was Almost like having family take care of you.
So many thanks to you.
If there is some one to forward this to so it gets to STI/Sakkara please feel free to do so
In Cairo it was 40+ degrees; it is 12 in London today!
All the best and thanks again.

I am writing to tell you how impressed I was with my trip to Egypt. My trip ran smoothly from start to finish, despite many connections to be made. I could relax because I was in such good hands. My Nile cruise was wonderful, great accommodations and excellent food. I have to specially mention what a wonderful guide I had in Ahmed Haggag. He is so intelligent and knowledgeable as well as a lot of fun, and his English is impeccable. I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Egypt.

Sergio,

Just wanted to let you know that other than the flight connection mentioned below, our trip was excellent.  The guides and all the pick-ups and other connections went very well.  A potentially complicated trip was very well organized, and we appreciate your firm's expertise in making it smooth and enjoyable.  Only negative comment was that the King Solomon Hotel was definitely below par...they wouldn't even turn on the heat and it was freezing in our room.

Thank you.

Dear STI Crew,

Our client Sharon Collins participated in the 923 departure of 13 Day Nile Voyager.  She had wonderful things to say about the trip, particularly the helpful staff who went above and beyond to make her adventure truly memorable.  She wrote the following note and asked that I forward it on to Sakkara - I am hoping you will make sure they receive this wonderful note of praise.

Thank you again for another successful client experience!

Maria,

I just wanted to send you a quick thank you for helping my mom and I arrange everything for our trip to Egypt. We had an amazing time. We are still sorting through all the pictures we took and remembering the great sites we saw! A special note regarding our guide, Bassem. He was very knowledgeable, and extremely personable. He made the trip the much more memorable. I will highly recommend STI and Bassem to anyone I know going to Egypt. Thanks again for all your help!

Brian,
We arrived safely back in the US on Saturday - what a trip! Thanks for your help in arranging it. The Sakara representatives in Egypt did an outstanding job of making all the logistics work. Our guide, Ihab Wadgy was beyond amazing! I know I speak for the entire group when I say we could not have had a better guide! When we go to Egypt again - we will certainly request his help!

Hi Philippe,

Had a brief chat to Wendi this morning and all reports so far for the Battlefield Group is very good. She has not had a detailed chat to the tour leader, but he indicated that everything went well and that the group enjoyed the trip very much and that, for some, the trip into the desert was a highlight.

Thank you for all your assistance with the group and your patience with all our questions. It is very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Sakkara Travel,

1. We would like to thank you for the excellent service your agency provided us on a recent trip to Cairo.

2. Our flight from Dubai was late and we missed our connection to Aswan. We were met by Achmed from your office. He did a superior job of greeting us, getting visas, escorting us around the Cairo airport, rescheduling our flight and arranging for us to spend our time before the later flight at an airport hotel. He was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and spoke excellent English.

3. We greately appreciated his help.
Thanks you,

Heather,
Just wanted to let you know how much my friends and I enjoyed our trip to Egypt. Everything that you arranged for us went very smoothly and we couldn't have been happier with the accommodations.

Also, just so you know, the guide that we were set-up with on the boat (a fellow by the name of Ashraf Samir) was very knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. I would highly recommend him for any groups that you have in the future.
Thanks again for all of your help in planning our trip.

Hello Elena,
Just returned from our trip about 24 hours ago.
We had a wonderful trip to Egypt. The cruise up the river Nile, the pyramids,the temples, the tombs, Alexandria were all very spectacular to say the least. What a wonderful land of history that dates back so many thousands of years!

Thanks very much for arranging this trip for us.
This is my first trip to this wonderful country and it is so very memorable.
Was so great to have Mac with us to guide us for various things.
Thank you so very much again.

FAM to Dubai

Hi Heather

Back from Dubai with a severe case of jet lag. I was awake at 315a this morning wide awake and hungry. Right now I am fighting sleep until at least 10p We missed you in Dubai, the last I heard you were coming over a few days later. The fam trip was wonderful, not only did we go to Dubai, but we got to visit six of the seven emirates. Every day was a new adventure that was so interesting. Wallace was great and had a lot of info to offer. I really learned a lot and feel like now, I can recommend this area with confidence.

We all four had a marvelous time and we are still talking about it and sending digital pictures back and forth. I took over 400 digital pictures in that one week. Our friend from Tennessee said for him it was a vacation of a lifetime. The whole STI team did a wonderful job. Especially to be commended are Dina with the excellent assistance and tips before the trip, our guide Isis in Cairo, and guide Ahmed on the cruise and in Luxor.

Many many thanks for a dream trip,
