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!

Crafting Unforgettable Memories - If you are exploring Egypt, look no further than Abdelrahman. From the moment we met, it was clear that he was not just knowledgeable but also deeply passionate about Egypt's rich history and culture. Every aspect of the tour was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring that our trip was smooth and stress-free. Abdelrahman took the time to get to know us as a couple, tailoring the experience to match our interests and preferences. His thoughtful gesture of capturing moments through his photography skills was an additional bonus during our trip! Abdu we will always remember the warmth and personal connection you brought to our Egyptian adventure!!!🇪🇬 Nikos & Anastasia
