First time in Cairo - Firstly, Abdu was so friendly and patient with us. He was very knowledgeable about all of the religious sites and even added on an additional stop that we were interested in. He was also protective of us when the sellers became too aggressive. It was 8 of us and Abdu also has a keen eye for photography. He took out the best pics for us, so much that we wanted to hire him as our personal photographer for the rest of the trip. I would recommend him for all tours possible.

Cairo - Kariim was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide in Cairo, he was like a walking encyclopedia of Egyptian history and culture. He brought the city's rich heritage to life with his stories and insights. Super knowledgeable, passionate and flexible, Kariim went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. If you're heading to Cairo, do yourself a favor and book Kariim - you won't regret it!"

Family trip - I met Karim last year and this year I went back to my family for the same tour. Karim is very charismatic and you will learn a lot about the history of the country. In addition, you will have the best photographs of the trip to share your memories when you return home.

Great visit to Coptic and Islamic Cairo - The trip was so amazing and informative. Our guide "Abdu" or "Abddul Rahman" was so friendly and knowledgeable. He took us through the Coptic and Islamic Cairo. We bombarded him with many questions because the churches and mosques were very interesting. He tried to answer all our questions and took us very beautiful photos. The trip is totally worth to be taken and booked. Abdu guided us in Khan El Khalili to the best sellers so that we wouldn't be scammed by the rest of the sellers in the bazaar. In general everything went smoothly and amazing.

Great tour with superb guide - That was a terrific good day trip, we loved every moment. Guide and driver arrived in time then drove seamlessly trough the city. The guide had superb knowledge of history of Egypt escorted us in our pace at all time, gave us a lot of opportunity to make pictures or asking questions. He was really kind remind us always where were the best spots to see or made some photos. Time to time offered new bottle of water as well. We visited during the trip so many touching places including the cavern where holy family hid for 3 months then had the best view over Cairo from the Citadel.

Wandering around the streets of Caïro - Booked this tour with Abdu through WhatsApp! Easy and fast communication. We really enjoyed the whole day! From the history of Coptic Caïro to wandering the streets of Islamic Caïro and visiting a lot of highlights. Abdu knows all the good and hidden spots and on top of that, he’ll be your personal photographer that takes the most beautiful pics! Book your tour with Abdu for a unique experience!
