    My experience with Civitatis was fabulous; it was worth getting up so early. The package I purchased was the luxury one from beginning to end. My guides were attentive to us the entire time; it was very personalized, just my husband and I. Thanks to Fady, our coordinator, and the excellent work of the guides in Luxor (Mohamed), a truly wonderful person. In Cairo, Yahja, passionate about his history, was also lovely. Both were very attentive to us; we felt right at home with them.
