But they took shelter from his wrath in a cave above which, in later years, the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergious) was built.

Great guide, I recommend!

We chose an excursion to the Cairo souk “Khan el Khalili”, it was a great visit, especially thanks to our guide Al-Ghalban! A very nice guide, smiling, helpful, and he speaks French very well (he even knows the Marseille accent, super funny). He adapted to our pace (my mom walks slowly). He was really the best guide and I thank him very much. Al-Ghalban, "nicel chrome"!!!

Historic Cairo and How Structures Melded Cairo into what it is Today

we got an in depth tour of old cairo both the muslim and christian areas. the mosques and private residences you see are enchanting. you also get the history of both sides and how christianity exploded due to the holy family fleeing to egypt. you even visit a cave where they stayed for a bit! Karam was an amazing guide as he gave us in depth detail and some tips and tricks to help us during the rest of our stay in egypt. Definitely request him if possible.

GIZA AND CAIRO

We booked a two-day visit to Cairo with this agency and had a wonderful time. The guide and companion (they spoke Italian as requested) on both days were super kind and helpful, wonderful people. The tour of the Pyramids was very nice and also the visit to the Old City and the Egyptian Museum were beautiful... not to mention the dinner cruise on the Nile, highly recommended and very fun :-) To be repeated

Great Islamic and Christian Cairo Tour!

Mahmoud Imam was our guide and Abdo was our driver. Our tour was great! We visited all of the sites identified for the tour and Mahmoud gave great descriptions and the background history on each one. He clearly has a thorough knowledge of all the sites. Mahmoud was very respectful of the religions discussed. Abdo safely navigated the tough Cairo traffic. I highly recommend that you request Mahmoud and Abdo while in Cairo.
