Egypt including Nile Cruise and Jordan: We had wonderful trip and experience overall. Everything well planned, we really had no issues with the flights, hotels, cruise, tours.Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic trip to Petra! Everything was planned perfectly and there was great communication between all parties. We would definitely recommend working with Jackson as he went above and beyond to make sure our vacation was a 5 star experience.

Just returned from a 15 day tour of Egypt and Jordan. We had an amazing time. We were well taken care of. First I would like to send a BIG thank you to Binod and all of Tavel Discounters/Platinum Travel. When we were faced with changing travel plans you stepped right up and reorganized our tour. We felt extremely safe in challenging times. We were able to experience everything we imagined. From The Nile Cruise, camping in the desert, camel rides, climbing the Great Pyramid, Petra, and everything in between. Your guides were very professional. Their experience and education showed through time and time again. The accommodations were wonderful. We tasted many wonderful local dishes. Our private driver/guide, Mo, in Jordan was great. We had lots of laughs with Mo. We learned a lot of personal life in Jordan. We saw many amazing sites in Jordan, as well as some extra sites not on the itinerary. You went above and beyond and gave us the best trip. Thank you!

First of all, I want to say thanks for all your help. Everything went fairly smoothly and we were able to see everything I had ever dreamed of. It truly was the trip of a lifetime for me, since I had been dreaming of it since I was about 15!

Our tour guide, Kareem Kordy in Egypt was wonderful. Our Egyptologist, Kareem Zohny Shemis was the best. I can say enough good things about both of them. Our private driver in Jordan, Kamel Odetallah was the nicest, most professional man. We were so pleased with him and all the extra benefits he provided for us.

The Steigenberger Hotel in Cairo was awesome. Location was perfect. It truly is a 5 star resort.

The Swiss Inn Pyramids is NOWHWERE near the pyramids. In fact, we were further away from the pyramids there than when we staying on downtown Cairo. The resort is very nice though, but WAY away from the airport and town.

The Nile Cruise Ship was very nice, but I wouldn't give it more than 3 stars. We were on the MS Semiramis. Meals tended to not vary much from day to day.

The problem was the hotel after the cruise back in Cairo. After arriving at the Swiss Inn Pyramids at 3:15am, got everything off the bus to check in (along with the other 30 people), Abdul (tour guide in Cairo only) told us we were the ONLY people, NOT staying there! We loaded our stuff back up on a different van which took us to a different Swiss Inn. While trying to check in after the van dropped us off, the hotel had no idea who we were or what we were doing there. Mind you, it is now 3:30 in the morning and we had to be back at the OTHER Swiss Inn by 8am for breakfast and our ride back to the airport for our flight to Aswan. Needless to say, less than 3 hours of sleep that night and 2 very unhappy travelers.

All internal flights were fine. Would have preferred an earlier flight from Aswan back to Cairo as our 10pm flight was delayed until around Midnight.

Jordan was amazing! The hotel in Aswan was great. Location was excellent.

Can't remember our guide at Jerash, but he did a great job.

The Rose Hotel in Petra was OK. But, they wanted $86 US to use the hot tub for 30 minutes! They must be crazy! Luckily, we were only there for 1 night. Petra itself was incredible! Our local tour guide was Asem Hasanat and he was really good. Provided lots of info and took us on some extra walks that weren't really included on his daily schedule. He really went above and beyond. The Masayen Luxury Camp in Wadi Rum was very cool. Probably our best dinner of the trip! The woman at the Lacosta Hotel in Aqaba was fantastic! She provided the best lunch ever when we arrived. Fresh local grilled fish, salad, veggies and cheesecake with strawberries for dessert. The Ramada Resort Dead Sea was nice. I did manage a swim and a mud bath there!

Can't tell you how much we appreciated you guys providing the hotel for our last night at the Amman Airport Hotel. Kamal dropped us off there about 5pm. Since we didn't need to leave for the airport until 2am (for our 3:40am flight), we were able to get a shower and a few hours of sleep. It really was a lifesaver!

All in all, I really would not have changed a thing about this trip (except maybe some of the flight times!). All hotels were a minimum of 3 stars and some higher.

I would highly recommend Travel Discounters (and already have!) and to work directly with you in particular

My wife and I did the best of Egypt and Petra and Wadi Rum this past month and we couldn't have been happier with the entire trip. From start to finish there is always someone there to lead the way, always felt comfortable and appreciated by all the contacts we had. Our guides (Tut in Cairo, and Ashraf Roma on the Nile were fantastic. We highly recommend Travel Discounters for your trip to Egypt and Jordan.

Travel Discounters did an excellent job of arranging and carrying out our long delayed trip to Egypt and Jordan. Our trip had to be rescheduled twice due to Covid.
Originally we were supposed to also go to Israel but they extended our trip in Jordan and added sites there (Red Sea and Baptism Site of Jesus) since Israel has remained closed.
In Egypt, the accommodations were quite lovely from the Ramses Hilton to the cruise ship. The staff in both were helpful and courteous especially at the Ramses Hilton restaurant. Our guides in Egypt were knowledgeable and helpful. In Cairo, Sahar helped us know what we were looking at, why it was important, and she protected us from the vendors! On the cruise, Hamada was the consummate storyteller - it was easy to follow from one site to the next how the history flowed.
They were both considerate, accommodating, and helpful. I would definitely want them again if we were to return to Egypt.
In Jordan, Kamel was reassuring and helpful. He made sure we knew what our options were, where to shop, and what was going to occur each day. The accommodations were very nice. Our guides, Saddam and Ahmad, were both excellent! It was easy to see they were passionate about what they were showing us.
While the buffets were great and offered us a way to try different foods, we really enjoyed the local meals: the Egyptian BBQ or the maqluea or the Bedouin pit food or the ful.
Overall, this long delayed trip was incredible. It was apparent that the people of Blue Sky and Bridge Travel were proud to be showing us their respective countries.

I was hesitant when I booked through Travel Discounters with Bridge travel because I have never booked with them before.
I was overwhelmed with the kind and warm greeting I received everywhere I went. The Jordanian people were great.
Jordan is full of so many wonderful treasures. My driver for the week was Jacob and though he started out being a driver by the end of the week he became my friend. He was eager to tell us all about his country.
He made sure I had everything I needed. The experience at Mount Nebo was overwhelming. The dead Sea encounter was breathtaking.
I was blown away at the sites in Petra. For me one of the highlights of the trip was Wadi Rum. If you’re hesitant about trying this company or going to Jordan please don’t be. You will not be disappointed with Bridge Travel or Travel Discounters.

Traveled to Egypt and Jordan in September 2021 with a tour through Travel Discounters.
This was the trip of a lifetime visiting the best of both countries on a well-organized and exciting itinerary.
Our tour guides in Egypt -- Kareem Zohny Shemis and Sahar Bayoumi -- were very professional and truly made the history and antiquities come to life for our tour group.
I highly recommend both Travel Discounters and our in-country travel guides, Blue Sky Travel, for a remarkable vacation.

We traveled to Jordan on April 2021, and we have many wonderful memories from the Dana valley hike.
The terrain was great and the guide for the hike was EXCELLENT!
