Memorable two-day trip to Cairo and the Pyramids with Fatma Mohammed. - This two-day guided trip to Cairo and the Pyramids, with our awesome guide Fatma, provided a deep understanding of Egypt's rich history and a profound appreciation for its ancient wonders. Fatma was very warm, and she took us to the best restaurants in Cairo. We especially liked the Egyptian food. I would recommend this trip to anyone with a fascination for history, culture, and the mysteries of the ancient world. Cairo and the Pyramids exceeded all expectations, and I will cherish the memories of this trip for a lifetime. If you're considering this plan, then do ask for Fatma Mohammed as your guide. She will help with taking photos and is also very flexible with the itinerary. Thank you Fatma.

Great Safe Experience and Great Price - We had two great days with Nour! On the first day he took us to the Giza Plateau, Saqqara, and Memphis. In addition to seeing the awe-inspiring historical sites, he also took us to a perfume-smelling experience and a papyrus-making experience, both free-of-charge with no obligation to purchase anything. We chose to do a late lunch and our day ended with a delicious meal at a rooftop restaurant with beautiful views of the city. On the second day, Nour took us to the Egyptian Museum. He let us know that many of the exhibits had already been moved over to the new museum (which was not yet open when we were there), but showed us the highlights left in the old museum. Well worth it - we saw some amazing historical artifacts and Nour provided great information! We also went to the Khan el-Khalili market where we were able to pick up some little souvenirs, which was great fun. Our tour also included a visit to the Citadel and the Hanging Church, both great places for those interested in religious history. Our second day concluded with tasty Egyptian cuisine at a local restaurant. Nour speaks excellent English and answered all of our questions about Egyptian history and customs as they came up. This tour also came with a driver and we found it very affordable given how much was packed into our two days in Cairo.

Superb - Fantastic tour. Everyone on the group loved the itinerary and especially Ahmed, he's just the best, believe me. Informative, funny, never boring. It seems like he know every single person in Cairo, so whathever you need, he will arrange it. We made a mistake during prenotation, we put the wrong dates, and he did his best to solve our mistake. Also, our tour was in Italian, Ahmeds Italian is perfect. Thank you for everything!!
