  1. We used Egypt Fun Tours to book a trip to Egypt and Jordan. Sadly due to Covid 19, the trip did not go ahead as planned. Mohamed from Fun Tours was always courteous, helpful and timely and arranged a refund for us which came through. Once it is safe to travel again, we will definitely go back to Mohamed and Egypt Fun Tours for our travel needs. Can’t wait to see and experience these amazing countries.
