Malaka's T+L Dream Trip Leads to Proposal in
Egypt
In her fourth year as a Travel + Leisure-
recommended SuperAgent specializing in Egypt, ATG
clients know by now that Malaka escorts over-the-
top group packages with all the extras and special
guest appearances, such as next year’s Cruising the Nile with Chef
Roy.
What you may not know is that she continuously
plans perfectly customized getaways to Egypt, often
featuring an excursion to Petra in Jordan, for couples
and families who simply want to experience its
magic.
Last year, Alex Conrad found Malaka through
T+L’s recommendation and decided that Egypt would
be the perfect place to propose.
Alex was impressed by the safety and vibrancy of
Cairo. “More people need to get out and see for
themselves,” he said. “We've been out on our own in
Cairo two nights out of three here. We've really
enjoyed it. The nay-sayers at home who told me how
dangerous it was have obviously never been here. I
only kick myself that I listened as much as I did - I
should know better by now.”
