Efficient & well-run layover tour - I only had a short layover in Cairo (~10 hours) and Hamada helped me make the best of it! Someone was waiting for me with a sign when my plane touched down at 11am to fast-track me through the visa/customs process. Thank goodness, because I was too jet lagged to navigate that on my own.
My arrival time was too late for me to visit the Egyptian Museum, but we did see the pyramids (including a camel ride and tomb exploitation), the Sphinx, downtown Cairo (including a tasty lunch), old town Cairo, the tourist bazaar, and a quick stop at the Nile. Hamada was informative and thoughtful throughout, including making sure that I always had a bottle of water to keep me hydrated. Was dropped off in plenty of time for my 9:40pm flight. Thanks for a lovely and all-too-short stay in Cairo! Hoping I get the chance to come back for a longer visit somewhere down the line :)

An Excellent Way to Spend a Layover in Cairo! - We were met right at the airport by a representative of the tour who helped us obtain our layover visa and helped us through customs and immigration. Then he took us outside where we were met by Hamada who drove us to the Pyramids and around Cairo, including the old walled town and bazaar. Hamada was very knowledgeable about the history of Cairo and met all of our needs for the day. The tour included lunch, delicious fried chicken, drinks, snacks, and entry tickets to the pyramids. I’d highly recommend Hamada and his layover tour. It’s a great way to spend a layover, rather than sitting at the airport!

Great Tour with Mohammed! - I had an amazing day tour with Mohammed during a layover in Cairo. I was met right at the airport, helped to clear immigration. They also accommodated my request to add some Coptic sites to the tour and Mohammed together with being an excellent photographer, gave me tips to improve my own photography. Thanks for a really fun tour!
