-Candlelit dinners
-The most beautiful sunset I've ever seen!
-Our gigantic and luxurious Special Desert Room
-Curated meals by our personal chef
-Unparalleled views of Siwa Lake and the Oasis

Check out the full video (linked in the comments) to either live vicariously or to get inspired to book your own trip!

One of my clients from last year, Jody, recently gave a presentation about her Egypt adventure that I planned for her and a friend back in 2024. Jody uses a manual wheelchair or crutches to get around, and we were able to plan a customized itinerary specifically tailored to her needs and what she wanted to see and experience.

Jody ended up doing a few days in Cairo and a 3-night Nile Cruise from Aswan up to Luxor, taking in all the highlights along the river and must-sees in Luxor like the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple.

It was so fun to read this article that Jody shared, after she gave a presentation on her trip at a local museum. I always love hearing from my former guests!

Jody Larson presented a travelogue of her visit to Egypt in September 2024 titled “Egypt-Bucket List-Done” at the July 6 Front Porch Chat at the Stutsman County Memorial Museum.

I’ll be releasing a YouTube video in the next few days, but wanted to share that the Grand Egyptian Museum’s full opening has been DELAYED yet again, from July 6 to an unspecified date at the end of 2025. More information on the blog post (linked in the comments).

Do you think the GEM will ever open?!

Is Cairo Worth Visiting? An Honest Guide for Solo Female Travelers

My newest blog post (linked in the comments) is a collaboration with Her Asian Adventures, tackling the important topic of visiting Cairo as a solo female traveler, sharing great tips and tricks to have the best experiences in Egypt's beautiful and chaotic capital.

Check out the post, and drop a comment with your feedback or questions - do you think Cairo is a worth a visit, and if you are a solo female traveler, what was your experience like, or any advice you have to other solo female adventurers?

From the post:

"I won’t lie—before my first trip to Cairo, I was low-key terrified. I’d read all the horror stories: scams, catcalling, pushy vendors. As a solo female traveler, I seriously considered skipping the city altogether.

But I’m so glad I didn’t.

Sure, there were some tricky moments—but overall? Totally worth it. The pyramids blew my mind, the food was incredible, and I picked up a ton of helpful tips for getting around Cairo solo.

So if you’re wondering, is Cairo worth visiting?—especially on your own—I’ve got you. I’ll walk you through the top reasons to visit, what felt safe (and what didn’t), and how to make your trip smoother, more fun, and way less stressful."

Anyone want to join me in Egypt in a couple weeks 😎🙃?

I've got just one suite left (room for 1-2 people only) on my May group tour, and am looking for someone (or two someones) to enjoy a private balcony on the Nile River on the 9-day tour!

I've got a group of 12 people signed up so far - a mixture of Americans, Australians, and a couple Brits thrown in for good measure!

The trip includes 3 nights in Cairo as well, but if you just want to join for the private yacht on the Nile, that works too! Send me a message and I can let you know details for joining just the Nile Cruise portion (5 nights and 6 days).

Trip cost includes basically everything (tips and gratuities, sightseeing tickets, private Egyptologist guide, meals, two nonstop domestic flights, airport transfers with meet-and-greet services) except your international airfare, alcohol, and two dinners.

Feel free to share, and drop a comment with any questions.

I loved helping this group of three families with their customized Egypt adventure! Here's what they had to say about their trip:

"There is no better option for a travel agent for Egypt than GUS, he is the absolute BEST! We had a group of 3 families (13 people) with kids ages 10-16 on the trip and Gus managed every detail (even the small ones) to ensure our trip ran smoothly and safely. The planning process was super easy and Gus's online itinerary was easy to follow and understand. We had some last minute changes to our itinerary a couple days before we left and Gus was totally awesome about making the modifications for us! This is rare because travel agents usually give such a hard time to make last minute modifications, but Gus handled it like a pro, and even encouraged us to let him know if we needed any other changes! He was willing to work with our budgets to make sure we were all comfortable with the total cost of the trip without compromising on luxury and safety. Gus even knew the best restaurants and stops for our group to ensure we got high quality dining experiences and usually with an awesome view! All of our drivers and guides were excellent and we were blown away by the knowledge our guides shared. We had city reps to help with the hotel check in process and Gus even happened to be in Egypt so we got to meet him on our trip! We did not opt to have Gus join our trip, and that is my only regret! Everything went awesome on our trip, having Gus with us would have just been icing on the cake! I found Gus while randomly googling whether it was safe to travel to Egypt or not, he had a whole blog post about that and a bunch of other blog posts that were super helpful for planning our trip to Egypt. Having finished the trip and returned home, I can say for myself that I felt quite safe in Egypt. Their tourism is down significantly so they are doing everything possible to ensure tourists have a great experience and return home safely! We can't recommend Gus and Egypt Adventures Travel enough - I feel so lucky that we found him and you will too!"

The Egyptologist Nicholas Brown (my best friend!) just published an article arguing for a new interpretation of some ritual objects found in the pharaoh Tutankhamun's Tomb (King Tut)! Super proud of his work getting recognized and making headline news!

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2473095-relics-in-tutankhamuns-tomb-hint-he-invented-elaborate-burial-rites/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJOaH1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHfX12m-AN8EHo27dD6JOQY0w-0X-Cmvz6pwY5xQPhl8GjDNsA3iLcj_SoA_aem_PSmLDE4-Mllfv-ukzEvtlg

Tutankhamun ruled ancient Egypt shortly after a period of religious instability, and objects from his tomb suggest he took advantage to invent new funerary rituals
