Half-day rich OldCairo - On the day of my business visit to Cairo, I joined with colleagues. I enjoyed shopping with Old Cairo for half a day. The Guide is especially great. Definitely five stars. I was able to see Cairo, not just the pyramids, in a short time. Thank you. Thank you Habiba！

Two Private Tours with Tour Guide, Abdelrahman “Abdu” Hassan - I arrived in Cairo mid-afternoon with only that evening and the following two days to see the city. I booked a private evening tour with Abdelrahman “Abdu” Hassan on the first night. The evening tour began with a traditional Feluca ride along the Nile. The boat ride was an incredible way to see the skyline of Cairo and Giza. I would have been 100% satisfied with only the Felcua ride, but Abdu then took me to the Al-Azhar Mosque, which was stunning—and probably the highlight of my evening. I highly recommend seeing the mosque at nighttime. The white walls of the courtyard were illuminated and very impressive. We arrived at Al-Azhar just in time for me to experience the ritual call to prayer, which I also highly recommend experiencing. Afterward, we culminated the evening with a stroll through the Khan Elkhalili Bazarre and along Moez Street.
A few words on Abdu, my tour guide. Abdu comes with a wealth of knowledge of Egypt’s origins & procession of historical events, encompassing centuries of Egypt’s rich history. He spoke English perfectly and answered all of my many questions. He taught me so much, and I was so impressed that I booked him for my last day to take me through the highlights of the two leading Cairo museums, the Grand Egyptian Museum and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. Thank you, Abdu, for such a fantastic evening in Cairo and for taking me through the Egyptian Museums’ highlights. Of course, I can’t forget to mention Mohamed, our driver—it would not have been the same without him! Thank you both for a fantastic trip to Cairo!

Great experience in Cairo - Very good experience. I did the tour last day in Cairo and assured that the friendliness of Karim (the Guide) and the mystique of the place make me want to vacation again in Egypt. I stress Karim’s warmth, he answered all my questions, many related to Egyptian national and international issues, as I find myself writing a research article on Egypt. Also, he took us to very nice places and advised us on what to buy and where! I rate it 5 stars.
