Lynda Morrison from Innovative Travel has returned from a nine-day tour to Egypt hosting 10 agents.

The agents experienced Innovative Travel’s meet and assist prior to immigration, with their Egyptian visas available on arrival. This service highlights the ease of entering Egypt with a pre-paid visa and fast track immigration service.

Along with visits to the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo (GEM), the itinerary featured a three-night deluxe Nile cruise; plus a full-day tour to the Valley of the Whales in Fayoum to view 35-million-year-old whale fossils and explore their story at the Climate Change Museum in the desert.

A sunrise balloon ride in Luxor with views of the Nile and Queen Hatshepsut’s Temple; a morning excursion to Abu Simbel and a visit to the NGO Tawasol (supported by Innovative Travel and founded in 2008, to empower under-served communities in Cairo’s slums) were other highlights.
