A magical morning/afternoon in Cairo with WOE - Wonders of Egypt (WOE) is an excellent and trustworthy company. This is my second tour with them. We customized this trip for an 11-hour layover in Cairo, and they met us at the airport to expedite us through immigration. Everything went smoothly from that point forward, with WOE taking care of every detail, communicating clearly at every point what to expected (and what was expected of us). We took an early morning felucca with breakfast sandwiches, sailing the Nile as the city awoke around us. Next was an unscheduled visit to an authentic coffee/shisha house before our timed tickets to the Grand Egyptian Museum (soft opening). While at the GEM, we were accompanied by a WOE guide and amazing Egyptologist who filled in interesting details about what we were seeing. Finally, we had a great lunch of assorted meze appetizers in front of the Giza pyramids at 9 Pyramids Lounge, before WOE took us back to the airport. Once there, we were met again by a WOE expediter who helped us navigate a travel snafu before we departed. Once again, I give five stars and full endorsement of WOE.

Civilzation Museum with the Royal Mummies - I was in the Civilzation Museum with Ali and learned so much about Ancient Egyptian culture. Ali is very enthusiastic and knows a lot. He could answer me any question I had.
The royal mummies in the lower floor were amazing and I take a lot memories back home.
I would definitely do it again!

Amazing Egyptian Experience - We were taken on a private full day tour by Ali. We were picked up by a fully air-conditioned van and driven around to the Cairo Citadel to see Saladin’s Castle and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali. We were then driven to see Coptic Cairo, the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx. Ali was an amazing guide! He is currently studying his masters in Archaeology, and his knowledge of all things Egypt is unparalleled. He is also very accomodating and flexible, and tailors the tour to suit your interests. It's a day I will never forget. Thanks Ali!
