I requested a distinctive trip to see the city of Akhnaton, since I had already visited Egypt and wanted to witness unconventional attractions. While it is a lengthy journey, the archaeological site deserves the effort. I appreciated Ali's efficient organization of the trip, and I also enjoyed the insightful explanations provided by the Egyptologist Jemmey. Thank you so much for the unforgettable day.
