A great tour full of knowledge, experiences, and original Egyptian food - It was amazing. Esra is very experienced and has a lot of knowledge. She was kind, funny, and brought us to the best spots.

Fun times, great memories - Our experience was a blast. We only had 2 days in Egypt but with Ehab, we got to make many great memories. We managed to visit so many amazing places, from the pyramids to the museums. We even got to go experience the authenticity that Egypt has to offer. Ehab even took us to this stunning place where they showed us how they made paper out of papyrus. We ended our tour with a dinner on a boat ride along the Nile. Overall, it was a great experience and we would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Egypt. (Reviewed at: 2024-03-16)
