Best time!!

Mohammed Mahmoud was my tour guide and he was stellar. Very knowledgeable about the areas we visited, history and ver considerate. Dodge was our driver and he was awesome! I got to go to Old Cairo. I saw the citadel, St George church, hanging church and the alabaster mosque and the market. We went to a papyrus place, spice place and perfumery. He took to me to oldest coffee shop. I got to have Egyptian tea and coffee. I really enjoyed myself and it was a great start to my trip. I highly recommend these two. They will make your tour awesome!
