Best time!! - Mohammed Mahmoud was my tour guide and he was stellar. Very knowledgeable about the areas we visited, history and ver considerate. Dodge was our driver and he was awesome! I got to go to Old Cairo. I saw the citadel, St George church, hanging church and the alabaster mosque and the market. We went to a papyrus place, spice place and perfumery. He took to me to oldest coffee shop. I got to have Egyptian tea and coffee. I really enjoyed myself and it was a great start to my trip. I highly recommend these two. They will make your tour awesome!
