Fun experience - Overall, a pretty good experience where we got to explore a lot of novel Egyptian items. Be prepared to splurge, there is some cool stuff. Went at night so the timing is flexible and the bazaar is very busy, the guide, Bisho, was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Took about 3.5 hrs.

2026 May Tour - Kareem and Magid were amazing! Do recommend. Kareem even went so far as to help me with phone calls in Arabic which was very much appreciated. No hassle to buy in the places we were taken. You can just tell them no and move on. I would book with them again

A perfect private tour in Cairo - We had the most enjoyable day with Fady our guide and Magid our truly excellent driver. You absolutely need a skilled and experienced driver in Cairo. Fady took us to a spice merchant and an oils and perfume shop. The Egyptian men seem to favor the scent of papyrus., you can smell and recognize it everywhere. We explored the Khan el Khalil market which is a maze of shops and vendors selling all kinds of Egyptian treasures and trinkets. We needed traditional Egyptian clothing for our Egyptian night on the cruise. Fady helped us pick the right clothing and negotiate a fair deal with the shopkeeper. It was actually alot of fun. He took us to a restaurant he knew and we tried koshari, a dish everyone in the country knows and eats. We talked about the culture in Egypt, the educational system. Fady was currently studying for certification in Egyptology and a career in tourism. It was a great day, we highly recommend this private tour.

The very best Cairo tour guide - We spent the most enjoyable day with Fady our guide and Magid our skilled driver. We explored the Al Hakim mosque and khan el Khalil market. Apparently the market has been around and popular for 600 years. It's a fabulous place full of eastern delights. Of course its a must for tourists but still an exciting adventure. We needed traditional Egyptian galabeya for Egyptian night on the cruise. He helped us find a seller and bargain for the best prices, it was so much fun. We went for a sailboat ride on the Nile and talked about our lives & families. To end our day Fady took us to try kashari, chips and salad. A delicious traditional dish everyone knows and eats here. We would highly recommend Fady to fellow Travellers. We feel we made a friend today.

Market Tour and more.. - The market tour was nice and included a visit to a store that sells real cotton clothes, a spice shop, oils and perfumes, and the papyrus factory, but I enjoyed the visit to the papyrus factory the most. Our guide, Mr. Bishoo, was very kind and explained several things to us..
