The perfect day around Cairo - We arranged a private tour with a group of 7 friends. Our guide was Mahmoud Emam. He was FANTASTIC . He picked us up from our hotel, the Ramses Hilton ( NEVER STAY AT THIS HILTON. NEVER ). We were scheduled to be picked up at 0730. He arrived early and helped us check out and leave our luggage with the concierge desk. . The driver ( Vin Diesel 😂) was waiting for us in an air conditioned van. We all headed out on time at 0730 and drove to the Giza Pyramids, we also visited the sphinx and 6 of us rode camels in the desert behind the pyramids. WOW. Mahmoud knew everyone and guided us to the healthy camels with owners who didn’t haggle with us and try to make us pay them to dismount. That’s a thing. AMAZING morning. Them off to the Step pyramids in Saqqara. AMAZING again. Sometimes these adjectives are needed and accurate. We then had an authentic Egyptian lunch. We learned about Egyptian cotton and then visited the New Museum with the mummified bodies of the royalty from the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. We had just visited there so that was the perfect tie in. Now we are dusty but happy and Mahmoud and Vin Diesel drove us to our airport hotel Le Meridian. It’s a 10/10. Always stay here the night before your flight or if you arrive late at night.
I highly recommend Mahmoud Emam. He was knowledgeable, funny, transparent and knew everyone. We were safe and happy. Thanks for the perfect day!
