I had a great time with Mohamed. He is very well educated in Egyptian history and I learned a lot about it, from architecture, pharaohs and the old kingdom to the October war, Ramadan, Arabic language and lots of aspects of modern Egyptian culture. It was very fun to explore the markets and he suggested I try some local falafel and desserts, which was particularly kind given it was during Ramadan. Mohamed is also a gen-z expert photographer and knows all the best spots to get really nice photos! I don't think I have ever seen better photos of myself! So a big thank you for that too! I am a solo female traveller, and I felt completely comfortable with both Mohamed and the driver at all times.
