"Hi Ann!
So glad the blog was useful to you. We still talk fondly of our trip and especially of Dudi whose correct name is Ahmed Aboudy. Ahmed being such a common name in Egypt, he goes by Dudi instead.
Given the ages of the children in your group,…"

Uncover the World team commented on Maria Laing's blog post Blog of a crocodile - Egypt, April 4-11"Hi Maria,
Many thanks for posting your experiences of your tour. I was in Egypt myself last week and your guide was happily telling me about his 'crocodiles'.
A couple of updates on your itinerary - we do advertise it as using 4-star…"

Just a quick report back on a wonderful holiday.We are a mixed bunch - one Irish and one Scot plus their two kids and another Irish pal, living in Doha and spending Easter in Egypt. Arrived into Cairo and transferred to our hotel the Pyramid Park. Despite the sign in the lobby, if this is a 5* property then I'm the goddess Isis (about whom more later!). Pretty disappointing start to the visit - five of us wedged into a twin room with three pull-out beds and no availability for an extra room.Met…See More

- Maria, your blog is wonderful. Could you kindly tell me more about Dudi -- specifically his whole name, if you know it? We are putting together a 12-person family tour of Egypt next spring, which will include a 9 year-old, 11-year old, 2 older teen-age girls, a famous architect, and an art historian. I know from an Egypt trip last May that the guide can make or break the trip, so I am trying to psych out the best guide possibilities.
Many thanks, Ann Stranahan
