Summary:
We had the best time with Nermeen(nana). We got arranged with her through our hotel in Luxor, Hilton. We spent one full day and one half day with her and wish she came with us to Cairo! She was easy going, knowledgeable and the best Egyptologist! She knew a ton about the dynastic error and took us to the worthy spots. We are so grateful we go to spend our time in Luxor with her. We felt very safe during our entire time in Egypt and appreciate how above and beyond they go to ensure tourism safety.
