Coptic Quarter & Mokattam - We were able to see amazing sites and our guide Enjy was great. She was very knowledgeable and kept us on the go the whole time while making the experience very informative. Many tours do not include the churches of Mokattam. And we felt this part of the trip was the highlight for us.
