A great tour through the history of egypt - Our driver Medhat and our guide Osama were great in leading us through egyptian history:
Osama knew how to navigate the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, without getting overwhelmed and while still getting a great overview on the huge collection and vaste history. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions as detailed as required.
The tour through coptic cairo afterwards was a great continuation: not only did we see several important landmarks of different religions, osama also was able to explain to us how the egyptian beliefs changed after the pharaonic times and what caused the different religions to become important in the last ~3000 years.
He delightfully mixed all that interesting history with remarks on the architecture and history churches, synagogue and mosque themselves which we saw.
Both our driver Medhat and our guide Osama were very nice, and skillful in their respective duties.

Great day out - Great day out!!. Salib was an excellent tour guide and mostafa a perfect driver. arrived on time to begin with then we got to the museum early to get tickets and be one of the first inside the museum. Salib was very knowledgeable about all the pieces he showed us and was able
To answer any questions we had. Spent about 2 hours inside the museum with some free time if wanted which I felt was plenty of time. We had lunch which was delicious and was the shown around the Coptic churches which were beautiful. I would 100% Recommend for anyone to this tour and for those who love history - you won’t be disappointment :)
