ETERNAL EGYPT 2010 TESTIMONIALS

"Eternal Egypt was an amazing, non-stop trip filled with history and fun! From dancing in Cairo to cruising down the Nile, it was a great experience. It was amazing to be able to take dance classes with teachers from all over the world. I also loved all the sightseeing! I will carry these memories with me for the rest of my life!"

-SHANTEL JORDAN, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

“I had a great time on this trip, and would go again if I had the cash! The Ahlan Wa Sahlan festival was a wonderful experience. The cruise was amazing. I was never really sure it was real…but I have pictures to prove it!”

-ELIZABETH MARKLEY

TULSA, OKLAHOMA

The Eternal Egypt tour was incredible! It was my third trip to Egypt and I brought my mother and her best friend with me. We all had a BALL! There was plenty for them to do while I took classes at the Ahlan Wa Sahlan festival… we also visited The Pyramids and Sphinx, the Tannoura and Sufi Show, Khan El Khallili Bazaar, and went to the Festival shows and night clubs with the greatest Egyptian dance stars. It's an action packed adventure for dancers and non-dancers alike!

"If you want to laugh your butt off and have a good time in Egypt, I suggest going with Princess Farhana. I think she knows everyone in Egypt! Egypt is one place every belly dancer should trek to at least once in their lives and going with The Princess and Zahra made it just that much more memorable. The best part of the trip was the cruise on the Nile. I highly recommend it."
