Best Cairo layover - Our Cairo layover tour with Tree of Life Tours was an extraordinary experience! Right from the start, when Ashraf, our incredible guide, greeted us at the airport, we felt this day would be unlike any other. He took us on a peaceful stroll through the Khan Khalili market, brought the history of ancient structures and mosques to life, and navigated us through the museum's vast collections, pointing out key artifacts. The camel ride near the pyramids was an absolute thrill and offered stunning views from the panoramic viewpoint.
Our lunch at a nearby hotel was delicious, perfectly preparing us for the rest of our adventure. Despite our tight schedule preventing us from visiting the papyrus and oil shops, Nour ensured we still experienced the magnificence of Egypt's wonders, including a brief but impressive stop at the Sphinx.
Ashraf’s depth of knowledge, warmth, and tailor-made service made our tour of Egypt uniquely special. Tree of Life Tours is highly recommended if you’re planning a Cairo layover tour. Their dedication to crafting memorable experiences is evident, and with guides like Ashraf, a fun, enlightening, and unforgettable tour is assured.

Ashraf's expertise in sharing the rich history of Cairo's ancient sites, including mosques and museums, was truly inspiring. Without a doubt, the highlight of the day was the exciting camel ride next to the pyramids, which provided an amazing perspective. Lunch at a hotel near the Pyramids was not only delicious but also perfectly prepared for the afternoon adventure.

Cair layover with Tree Of Life tours - Our experience with Tree of Life Tours during our Cairo layover tour was memorable! From the moment Ashraf, our exceptional guide, welcomed us at the airport, we knew we were in for a special day. He led us through the tranquil Khan Khalili market, shared the rich history of ancient buildings and mosques, and guided us through the vast museum, highlighting the must-see artifacts. The highlight of our day was undoubtedly the exhilarating camel ride by the pyramids and the breathtaking views from the panoramic point.
Lunch at a hotel near the pyramids was scrumptious, setting us up perfectly for the afternoon's adventures. Although we were pressed for time and couldn't visit the papyrus and oil shops, Nour ensured we absorbed the beauty and awe of Egypt's treasures, including a quick stop at the majestic Sphinx.
Ashraf's expertise, warmth, and personalized approach made our Egypt tour experience unique. Tree of Life Tours is highly recommended for those considering a Cairo layover tour.

Great tour with family - Great experience with Noor, private tour tailored to our family needs and 10 hour layover. We traveled with a 6 year, 3 year, 1 year old. Noor was knowledgeable and showed us the highlights, including a great local lunch. He changed the day tour as per our wants and brought us to the airport with time to spare. One downside is they take you to a papyrus and essential oil shop- both aimed at tourists but I did buy something from each since I was limited on time in Cairo.
Highly recommend the tour

Great for a long layover in Cairo - We had a wonderful time! Very thorough communication with our guide and super easy pick up and drop off from the airport. We started early on Friday so there were very few people around. We felt a little rushed at the pyramids and only got to take pictures with the great pyramid. would have liked to spend a little more time wondering around or seeing the other ones. The camel rides were my kids favorite. They also offer a carriage ride if you’d prefer. The camels looked really healthy and well taken care of. We spent a large portion of the tour be taken to shops, oils, papyrus, jewelry. Tip: despite the shop owner saying you can bring the oils in your carry on you cannot and will make you check it if you have a suitcase to put it in. We ended up using my husbands day bag to check them.
Lunch was good with a view overlooking the pyramids.
The museum was interesting and our guide was really knowledgeable.
We were discouraged from visiting the market though it didn’t look any more intense than ones we’ve seen in other parts of the worlds like Istanbul, Delhi, or Beijing.
For a long layover and ease of getting around and hitting the highlights of the city this was a perfect choice.
