Great help with planning
Found this podcast as I started research for a future trip to Egypt. Great way to get a feel for what to do and how to execute the trip.Nice to be able to listen as I do chores or exercise. Have started at the beginning and am working my way through the episodes. There is a great deal of helpful information. Plan to listen to them again while my husband and I travel this summer, with a pen and paper in hand!

The episodes were so so insightful and thoughtfully crafted - I felt far more confident about my journey to and through Egypt thanks to this podcast.
