A recent tailor-made dance holiday to Cairo gave the participants a chance to take classes with local teachers, explore Coptic Cairo, visit the pyramids at Giza, take a camel ride and much more. Here are just some of their comments:
The Cairo Dance Holiday was an amazing experience. The belly dancing classes gave me an opportunity to be taught by a variety of different teachers and I think improved my dancing skills. The group were lovely and made the trip great fun. However for me the best part was the fascinating trips and experiences. During our time there we cruised down the Nile, rode on camels, learnt to haggle and even managed to cross the road! However the most incredible thing was to see and travel inside a pyramid, which is something I have always wanted to do. The trip was very well organised and a marvellous experience and I wish that I could go back and do it all again.
This trip to Egypt was a great mix of activities and provided a real insight into Cairo, modern and ancient, with all the luxury of a 5 star, air conditioned hotel with swimming pool to return to and recover from the heat and chaos that is Cairo! I think the bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in – with real Egyptian cotton sheets, like silk. The pyramids and the museum with the ancient Egyptians and King Tut’s gold casket and mask are amazing to see, when you’ve seen so many images in books. The markets are such a contrast illustrating the bustle and bartering of modern Cairo. The food was delicious and I particularly liked the fresh lemon juice drink, their speciality, which is so refreshing in their climate. As for the belly dancing lessons, these were a real treat, to have workshops with such a variety of talent and good fun too. Thanks for a great trip! Sonia, Wimbledon
