Great day tour while in Cairo - Another fun day in Cairo with Mohamed! The stop by the new museum was superb. I was impressed with Mohamed's knowledge on the displays and his openness to share more than the standard script. I've been to the grand museum but still enjoyed this visit and also look forward to coming back to tour the grand museum with Mohamed when it reopens.

2nd day in Cairo - The old city tour of Cairo was fine, though I wish there could be more sites than just going through several churches and the museum of Egyptian civilization! Maybe consider adding one or two more stops at the souq and/or the GEM in the future!

The best Egyptian experience - I recently experienced an exceptional Cairo city tour guided by Mohammad. His deep knowledge of Egyptian history and culture brought the landmarks to life. Mohammad’s engaging storytelling and flexibility made the tour truly memorable. Highly recommend for an enriching and enjoyable exploration of Cairo!

Must do experience in Cairo! - Most people only visit the Pyramids in Cairo and skip the other parts missing out on so much Cairo has to offer. I did this tour with Jakada and loved every bit of it. The Egyptian museum was a treasure trove of Pharoahic history with its Mummy section. The architecture in the Alabaster mosque was stunning and the Coptic side was rich with history. We ended with a lovely shopping session at Khan El Khalili market. My guide, Mohammed was very knowledgeable about Cairo and paced the whole day perfectly without the tour feeling rushed or inadequate. I received lots of fun facts and information about every place we visited. Mohammed is also an incredible photographer and very patient, and took some lovely photos of me. He also took me for a local lunch of the iconic Egyptian Koshary that I loved! The tour gave me a taste of Cairo’s culture and local life, and both Jakada and Mohammed did a splendid job at introducing it to me. 10/10 recommend!
