Great experience visiting 2 mosques and learning about the culture. Also visited this traditional and fabulous market/bazaar. Finally a sail on the Nile. Our tour guide, Mariam and driver, Mahmoud were super!
Our guide, Ahmed, was a delight. We so appreciated the time we spent learning about Egyptian culture, relaxing together over mint tea and on the felucca, as well as seeing mosques and market life.
Superb trip made even better by our superb guide Abdu We loved the Felucaa ride on the Nile It was so peaceful and Abdu pointed out the different landmarks Afterwards we visited a Mosque which was very interesting again because of Abdu’s knowledge The Market was vibrant and busy & being guided through made it much easier Our last stop was to Koshari Abou Tarek where we enjoyed a traditional fish from Cairo which was delicious I would highly recommend this tour
This is a great experience especially if you are looking for flexibility as the guide provides plenty of options so you can adjust the trip to suit your needs and spend more time in the places you are interested the most. I wanted to shop for special good quality Egyptian gifts and Abdu made sure I went to the best places with the best prices! The market is huge, and it’s easy to overpay if you don’t know the right place to go, so it’s good to have someone to guide you and also explain about history, local culture, etc. The experience in the Nile was very peaceful and relaxing, and the historic places very interesting. I highly recommend the experience!
One of the best experience ever lived. Thank you to my tour guid Abdu. He was amazing! Absu was very accommodating and hospitable. I learned so much from him. I recommend anyone thinking about doing this tour to ask for Abdu
