A trip to Old Cairo This includes a trip of the most prominent tourist attractions in Egypt The guide has good knowledge and an absolutely amazing explanation with a comprehensive understanding of the wonderful sites you visit
Citadel and that Bazar in Cairo ARE places in Cairo that every visitor must go. And It is even better If you have the opportunity to contract a tour guide. Bilal was great.
Must say I really enjoyed my tour guide, Amir, and the driver, Mustafa. Mustafa navigated through traffic smoothly and safely. Amir was so informative I barely had any questions. They are perfect gentlemen. Amir even slightly altered my Bazaar time because what I wanted wasn’t there. They took me to a place and I was able to get exactly what I wanted within a very few minutes. I will definitely be selecting him as a guide when I return. Also, I will be referring Amir to family and friends that come to visit Cairo in the future.
