Review of private shopping tour with Adel (nickname “Abo”) - Adel/Abo and his driver Mohamed were very good host, informative and felt safe on my tour. The real papyrus museum is a storefront of papyrus art work whereby they demonstrate how the papyrus is made into paper. The museum store rep shared about the various stories that the art work represented; many about Egyptian’s The Judgment Day and the Egyptian Calendar. Other parts of the tour provided info on Egyptian products. I learned about Lotus oil; I was able to smell many essential oils, blends and aroma therapy oils and try some on my hand with one of the owner’s family from The Flower of Life. I did not choose to go to other stores for I had plans to meet with family to go to the bazaars later in the week. Abo’s English was very well and he shared about the Cairo city while driving on our tour. I enjoyed my day.
