Customized Itinerary: Francoise & Thierry

Backpacker Concierge customized an amazing 17-day private program for Francoise and Thierry from Singapore. Both are avid photographers who were wiling to travel during the hottest summer months and wake up before sunset everyday to capture their journey on film. We think the results were worth it!

As Thierry is in the hospitality industry himself and expects a certain level of service, we put together what we call a "Backpacker Concierge: Elite" program. By working with Abercrombie & Kent's luxury cruise ships, the opulent Sofitel and Oberoi hotel brands, and pairing the adventure-seekers with Smithsonian-approved Egyptologists and guides, we put together that once-in-a-lifetime trip everyone wishes for when they travel to Egypt.
