Tours – Testimonials
Since 1999, hundreds of dancers have experienced Egypt and beyond with Amera, and here are just a few testimonials from some of the dancers:
Had a great time on my trip to Cairo/Lebanon. Was fantastic seeing all these beautiful dancers from across the world meet up to share their common passion. Gained a lot from workshops and was also able to fit in lots of shopping and sightseeing. The lovely Amera was a fantastic guide and ensured we all had a great time. Would defintely do it again.

I believe every serious bellydancer must go to Egypt at least once. The age of the City makes you realise how great this civilization once was, rich in history and culture. It's given me a new perspective and made me realise its the music and passion for life that enlightens the Egyptians. Long live Egypt!!!
– Jane, Bellydance Harem, Sydney
I did my first trip to Egypt and Lebanon with Amera and what an experience. I felt very comfortable going on her trip as I know she has travelled extensively all over the middle east and has been to Egypt on several occasions. Her local knowledge about the Cairo dance scene as well as general information about local customs and every other important aspect of travelling, especially for female travellers made for a smooth, enjoyable trip, with no hitches and of course her easy going nature makes travelling with her a delight. There is a lot of information in the guide books, but you can't beat seeing Egypt with someone who knows just what will interest those who want to experience Egypt from a dancer's perspective. It really was a fabulous experience, I highly recommend it.

The only way to see Cairo is with you, we learnt so much and really got to see the "Real Cairo" and not what the tour companies want you to see.
– Anne Marie – Tour 2006
I can't even begin to explain how great our trip was and how much of an impact Egypt has had on me. We had such a wonderful time and we have so many wonderful memories. I found Egypt to be an amazing country - the people, hospitality, culture, land, history etc. This trip has enriched me and I feel so fortunate to have gone there... I could just go on and on. What was great about your trip is that we did so much that the typical tourist wouldn't do – I feel that we got to taste some of the daily life of the locals rather than just doing the touristy things only.
– Christina – Tour 2006
Fantabulous, spectacular, amazing. Classes with the best teachers. Nightclubs with the best dancers. Sightseeing that leaves you breathless. WHo would of thought that in 10 days you could experiance the real Egypt, the raw Egypt! Experience of a lifetime. Thoroughly recommend it!
– Sophie Finnane – Tour 2006
The 2009 Tour was definitely a lifetime experience for someone like me who may not have much more of a lifetime left. I felt comfortable and protected by those who looked after me and experienced amazing things like horseriding at sunset in view of the pyramids and seeing lots of the exotic city of Cairo – Helen Bondarenko, South Australia – Tour 2009
My trip to Egypt with Amera was really great. Amera tailored the trip to dance activities such as classes, watching dancers, and visiting costumiers. In addition we got to do a little tourist and also get a taste of the real Cairo.
– Judith, New Zealand – Tour 2009
The 2009 Egypt trip with Amera was a fantastic experience! Dance classes, Costumiers, Live performances and all the "tourist" things available for us first timers. It was all well organised and i had a wonderful time. Highly recommended!
