Our "Trip of a Lifetime" to Egypt.

A group of 18 led by Betty Mc Cormack, Dan Shultz and Csongor Daniel, traveled Egypt for two weeks in September - October of 2006. We were fortunate enough to be led to most of these ancient sites before or after the "regular" tourists would be there. We even went to some places that are out of bounds for everyone else.

 Please take a look at our highlights below.
