Fantastic tour with Hanan! - We had a great time with Hanan. She was very informative about the beautiful Coptic churches, and introduced us to the Civilisation Museum which was fascinating. This was great because we hadn't known about it before. We enjoyed a nice lunch together, and she made sure that we had vegetarian food to accommodate our specific dietary requirements. She also arranged for us to stop at a shop to buy something that we wanted. Everything that you want from a private tour and more because, along with so much knowledge, Hanan had a fantastic personality. We would definitely tour with her again.

Great Guide and highly recommend - I am writing to share my highly positive experience with Meda Royal Tours during my recent visit to Egypt.
I took the Cairo city tour, which included the Egyptian Museum, Coptic Cairo, and the bustling bazaar. Our tour guide, Ahmed, was exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable and informative about Egyptian history, which significantly enhanced my understanding and appreciation of the sites we visited.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time exploring these historical locations and having Ahmed as my guide. I would enthusiastically recommend Meda Royal Tours and particularly Ahmed to anyone planning a trip to

Great - The tour in general was great.
We had a great time with our tour guide Ahmed. He was not rushing us at all. He was very kind and detail oriented. I did the tour with my bf and my son. Ahmed was very engaging and tried his best to include my son. My son hates museum but he said he learned a lot from Ahmed and would like to go on a tour with him. We highly recommend this tour with Ahmed.

Egyptian Museum of Cairo and its beauties - The Egyptian Museum of Cairo holds great treasures and impresses by the richness of artifacts and the grandiosity of the statues. The mask of Tutankhamun is the most impressive. The Coptic neighborhood touches us for its relationship with Christian religion. Ostemplos built over the sacred places makes us excited. The Bazar is the feast of those interested in shopping for local culture
