Rick Steves, and Back Door Productions are the best. They paid their employees during the pandemic. It cost him millions. He said, it's the right thing to do.

I don’t know what I appreciate most: Rick Steves company or the locations he takes us to. It’s all very satisfying.

Rick should be essential viewing in all American schools. 1000x more educational than any textbook can ever be!

We spent 19 days in Egypt in December 2019. It was incredible! Can't wait to go back.

Rick I just want to say I’ve grown up watching you and love your stuff. You were the reason my parents took my sister and I to Europe when I was a child. Thank you sir. You are loved!

[zaram]

Egypt is one of the top places on my bucket list. I am enthralled with Egyptian history and archaeology. This is a beautiful representation of the people, culture, and spirit of Egypt. I am dying to experience it for myself. I want to stand under those ancient columns, walk the markets, see the flowing Nile, the great pyramids and the Sphinx. Thank you for this.

[jasprerph]

Absolutely love the rich history and culture of Egypt. I really enjoy Rick's informative, engaging and witty commentary.

[muhammadnizamali]

I felt amazed to the virtual tour to Egypt. Thanks, Rick, for showing Egypt splendid beauty.

[Jsmith]

In my 8-10 trips to Egypt, I found the people invariably wonderful. We made friends swiftly and they always insisted that I remember that Egypt is my second home. I always felt that way. I have only been to Cairo and Alexandria (including many of the sites shown in this video), but hope to visit Upper Egypt at some point in the future and take a Nile cruise. I was also amazed at how affordable Egypt is. Even the tourist places aren't as expensive as elsewhere. I miss it tremendously.

I am an Egyptian living abroad and I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
