Our tour guide Hussein has lived extensively in the United States he is very well informed , connected and basically it felt like the entire Cairo knew him. He has multiple degrees from American Schools and also from abroad , and from the minute you met him you feel more like an ambassador to the country. He will be able to get you into some very exclusive places especially if you are of more discerning taste . This doesn’t mean he won’t take you to get wonderful cane juice from a small stand.
thank you so much for the lovely review
A beautiful experience. Historical architecture, symbolic relics, and learning methods and practices that represent an ancient culture and religion of our human existence. Thank you!
thank you so much for the lovely review
Mido was an amazing guide that took us into the bazaar and Islamic Cairo. The architecture that surrounded us was astounding. The knowledge he has for the history and religion felt like he brought us back in time. Thank you so much for the eye opening experience!
This was not only such an aesthetically pleasing experience but soulful and full of knowledge. Mido is so full of love for his country, religion and places of worship. If you truly want the full Egypt experience, I highly recommend this tour with Mido! You will walk away feeling filled with gratitude and so much love. Thank you, Mido!
Mido guided our group into the bazaar and Islamic Cairo. The architecture of the city and the mosques is breathtaking. I 100% recommend this tour if you want to see history and the culture of Cairo. Mido explains how to navigate the rules of the Mosques and you get to experience the beauty of the religion and rich history and culture.
I absolutely loved this tour. Yomna my guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. I learned so much about the history of Moeez street, khan el kalili and Islamic Cairo.
