Egypt Tours with Ruth Shilling & All One World
Ruth Shilling has been hosting a unique style of Egypt tours since 1999. The original website was 1worldtours.com.
Join our small groups (limited to 10 travelers) for unforgettable tours of the Ancient Egyptian treasures.
Unlike the other tours which hurry through the crowded sacred sites, we do our visits in a slower, more peaceful way and avoid the crowds.
There is time to marvel, photograph, and let it all sink in. We also include a number of sites you won’t find on other tours, as well as private entrances to the Great Pyramid and our own private Nile Cruise boats.
