- Cairo Citadel - The Citadel of Cairo or Citadel of Saladin is a medieval Islamic-era fortification in Cairo, Egypt, built by Salah ad-Din (Saladin) and further developed by subsequent Egyptian rulers. It was the seat of government in Egypt and the residence of its rulers for nearly 700 years from the 13th to the 19th centuries. Its location on a promontory of the Mokattam hills near the center of Cairo commands a strategic position overlooking the city and dominating its skyline. At the time of its construction, it was among the most impressive and ambitious military fortification projects of its time. It is now a preserved historic site, including mosques and museums.

Nice trip to the citadel - Good way to spend a few hours, the citadel and the mosques inside are impressive. Mario is an excellent and informative guide. We finished early as we made good time, so he offered to keep exploring the area since we still had time left; definitely very helpful.

Best trip to Alexandria. VIP experience - We used Twitter Egypt Travel for many trips. On of the was a day trip to Alexandria. It was my husband dream to visit the city of Cleopatra and Alexander the great. 2 Marios accompanied us to our trip: Mario our driver and Mario our tour guide. It was a custom trip based on our site preferences. We visited the catacombs, the library of Alexandria and the Citadel. We stopped to have a nice lunch in a seafood restaurant on the Mediterranean sea. It was a great day. Mario x 2 did a fantastic job and were very reliable and ensured we had a great time. Thank you Mario and Mario for an unforgettable day. Mary & Stephane from Canada.

Great private tour of the Citadel - Twitter Egypt Travel and Gina did a wonderful job planning our private tour of the Citadel. Gina really knows her history and took care of us every step of the way. The driver provided was also very professional. We learned so much more than if we had tried to do on our own.

Private Tour Citadel - Theresa my guide was absolutely wonderful. I was a little nervous traveling as a solo female and having a guide completely put my mind at ease. I didn’t have to think about anything at all, I was picked up from my hotel and learned the history and had a fantastic experience. Would book again.

Highly recommended - We used Twitter Egypt Travel (liaising with Isaac) to arrange a private half-day tour of the Cairo Citadel after previously having excellent experiences with his VIP airport meet & greet and other private car-transfer services. All of these private tours can be done at whatever time you want.
This was the first Twitter Egypt Travel tour we had done with an actual guide. Our guide was called Mario (we had also had another excellent driver on the previous days called Mario - they are 2 separate people. One only drives, the other is a tour guide but doesn't drive). Tour guide Mario was excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, spoke very good English, was very obliging, helped us take some cool photos, and accompanied us throughout the tour without being overbearing. He provided interesting information and also left us on our own to explore; the perfect balance.
In the car on the way back, he also introduced us to some Egyptian music, playing all kinds of genres and artists on the trip back to Giza.
Thank you Mario, the driver (I think his name was Hemy?) and Isaac for a wonderful half-day tour experience. The mosques at the Citadel were just stunning. Highly recommended.
