Thoughts on Group Leader
Ahmed was an amazing guide! He was so kind and patient and knowledgeable in his explanations of the history of the lineage of the ancient rulers and meaning of the hieroglyphics. He has a wonderful sense of humor and felt more like a good friend welcoming us to his country rather than a hired tour guide.
