Egypt and Jordan Trip: Reactions

Overall I loved this trip and think it was the best trip I've ever been on. My feelings about Egypt were that the natural beauty was breath taking and the amazing history was mind boggling. The cities were very dirty in my opinion. Lots of garbage in the streets and in Dahab there was lots of rubble on the sides of the road. In comparison Jordan was very clean which we didn't expect at all. We always felt welcome and had no issues with language barriers.
The issue of safety that I'm sure many of you wondered about. We never really felt unsafe. Sometimes it was frustrating that our drivers were delayed but we never felt like targets. Our blond hair and light skin was often stared at and we had requests for pictures once.
Otherwise we all had an amazing time and made lots of great memories.
We had some tummy issues once we returned to Germany but those resolved themselves and we are back to normal.
In summary... great trip!!
