I have traveled around the entire globe, from Antarctica to the Amazon, and to be very honest with you, one of my favorite places to go is Egypt!  Our Craftours itinerary is amazing, and we include everything you could possibly imagine doing. Riding a camel near the pyramids, sailing on a deluxe Nile cruise ship and visiting the Valley of the Kings and many ancient sites, learning how paper is made from papyrus, being pampered at the Four Seasons hotel in Cairo, visiting the famous Tentmakers of Cairo, and much more. I hope you will join me as I take just twenty people on this trip of a lifetime!
