The History of Egypt is Memorable - My experience visiting the Islamic and Coptic corner of ancient Egypt and the Egyptian Museum was exceptional. We were given a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of Egypt through distinctive religious sites, and the museum’s magnificent collections greatly influenced my understanding of ancient Egyptian history. The professional team that contributed to enriching my experience is highly commendable. It’s a mind-and-soul-exciting tour, I highly recommend for culture and history lovers.

Look for another agency for a similar tour - I travelled alone in Cairo . They arrived later than the scheduled time.The driver was ok, but the guide arrived with dirty clothes, walked 3 m distant from me in the front, at the Egyptian Museum where it is quite a lot of people. He did unnecesary jokes and had a very bored attitude. I had other 3 brilliant experiences here in Egypt, but this one was out of any guideline. I gave 2 stars because of the locations.
