Best tour I had in Cairo with Mohamed Raouf - The day tour I had with Egypt Excrusion travel agency led by Mr. Mohamed Raouf was the best experience I had during my 10 days stay in Cairo. Not only Mohamed was very knowledgeable of the Egypt history but he made you comfortable during the tour. He gave me an ample time to roam around the areas and took pictures. I highly recommend this company and Mr. Mohamed Raouf ti be your next tour adventure. I am extremly happy and fully satisified.
