Fabulous tour of fascinating less-visited historical sites around Cairo - Fabulous tour of fascinating less-visited historical sites around Cairo. Dalia, our guide, was brilliant as we toured the pyramids of Meidum, El Fayoum and Hawara, explaining this part of Egypt's history superbly; and Dalia was a lot of fun too. Ahmed our driver was excellent, both in the crazy traffic of Cairo and as he navigated us to these little-advertised sites; and Ahmed was fun too. They both made the day very special and we were delighted to share our super experience with them. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants an adventure exploring beyond the well-visited sites of Cairo. The office were helpful regarding meeting arrangements, and thank you for the extra information about Ramadan. Also thank you to Dalia for sending us photos of our day: much appreciated and a very special personal touch.
