Joel Simon –
I do a lot of international travel photography and I’m not the easiest person to guide because I like to go to places very few other people go. But I must say that Heba prepared a very thorough itinerary for me in four cities, and the best guide of all was Mona. I was with her throughout Aswan and Luxor, and she was the perfect person for me. Her English is outstanding, and she has a terrific personality. She’s full of enthusiasm and knowledge, and always went out of her way to help me accomplish my goals. Our driver Alaa in Aswan was also very helpful in arranging to ship everything I bought while there, and Islam in Luxor was also great. I highly recommend contacting Heba for any type of trip to Egypt that you want.
