Tour was exactly what I wanted - The tour with our guide, Mahmoud, was exactly what I wanted. We visited three Mosques. Mahmoud explained the history and style of architecture of each mosque and told us where to capture the best pictures. Mahmoud is very knowledgeable, his English is great and he has a wonderful sense of humor. My husband and I had a great time on this tour.

A Royal Mosque that's a burial site for the Muhammad Ali family - Standing side-by-side next to the Sultan Hussan Mosquej in Citadel Square, is the Al Rifa'i (the Royal Mosque). It was completed in 1912 to showcase modern Egypt. It features Mamluk architectural influences of its Islamic history. Now, it is also the royal mausoleum of Muhammad Ali's family.

Fantastic Experience - This tour providing an amazing and very informative insight into the history of 3 mosques in Cairo which are all from different centuries and very different styles and layouts. We are Christian and to have the experience of standing in significant Muslim mosques was very special. Our guide (Nour) was an Egyptologist and was VERY knowledgable in the history of Egypt and the mosques, answering all our questions and sharing some of the Muslim culture. A VERY BIG thank you to Pyramids Land Tours and Nour for making this trip a very special experience. We will definitely use Pyramids Land Tours when we are back in Egypt.
