Experienced the market and old Cairo at sunset. Got some beautiful photos. It was Ramadan and it was lively which we enjoyed. Mahmoud was our guide and we love his friendly and happy vibe. It is cold in March, so make sure you have a warm jacket. The park is beautiful, a nice way to end the day.
This tour allowed us to visit jewels of Cairo, such as the Manial palace, the famous Shari el-Muizz street, the bazaar and the famous El Fishawy Cafe, unfortunately we missed the visit to El Azhar park (because it was closed on the day public), which was replaced with a visit to the Citystars shopping centre. We thank Madonna and Karim for their kindness and availability, they made our experience unforgettable.
I booked the following tour through Viaor for my family (four people) ;" Overview Cairo by Night Tour visiting Abdeen Palace, The Monument to the Unknown Soldier, Al-Fishawi Cafe and Al-Moez Street. Dinner at the end of the tour in the most beautiful restaurant Studio Masr in El Azhar Park of the most beautiful gardens in Cairo in terms of trees and the area and the view overlooking the garden and some Islamic monuments". The company was Sun Pyramids Tour. An unpleasant woman on the phone told me that this tour has never existed and that I was making it up. She wanted us to walk through the old town as do all the tour companies but as it wasn't what I had paid for I got really angry and Yasser, the guide, took on him to help us and ignore her shouted instructions. He is a very learned ,interesting and caring guide. He did his very best and gave us a fantastic lesson of history in the car while heading to the Unknown Soldier's Monument where Sadat was shot and buried, then taking us into the Hanging Church in Coptic Cairo which was absolutely stunning; We later arrived at the restaurant in El Azhar Park. It is really beautiful, with a breathtaking view, all the way to the Citadel and old Cairo, over stone basins, stairs and palm trees but the food was a real joke ; pitta and hommos type of little dishes followed by a plate with a few chunky chips,and plain white rice 2,barbecued chicken pièces with herbs, 2 little barbecued mutton sausages and a little bowl of rice pudding for dessert. Same food as at any basic place in town. I paid for the glass of fruit juice plus taxes and we were driven back to our hotel by our cool driver Zacharia and our very friendly guide, learning more interesting historical facts all the way back. We will never visit the beautiful Abdeen palace but Choukran Yasser! You really saved our last evening in Cairo !
