We started the day at 8 o'clock, being promptly picked up in a nice, clean, air-conditioned car. We first chose to go to the pyramids, Mido was educating us, showing us amazing views, taking fantastic photos, and really showing his experience, as well as being fun for our child. We then chose an add-on of going on a panoramic view on a camel (We could have chosen a horse and cart or, instead, to go into one of the 3 pyramids) the camel ride was great fun, we had photos taken in a great location. We then traveled to a Papyrus shop where they taught us the ancient art of papyrus making in Egypt, we bought a few pictures and had our daughter's name written in hieroglyphics on one of them. We then had a choice of 2 museums, the Egyptian Museum or the Civilization Museum, we chose the latter. In all, the trip was amazing, Mido was very attentive, making sure to stop off regularly for drinks and checking we were okay. Noticing our daughter was getting a bit hot, he also bought her an ice lolly. We will miss Mido and Sharif very much and would recommend them to anyone, especially with young children.
We had an excellent time with our guide Mido and driver Sharif. We were given plenty of time to explore as well as receiving plenty of information and support. Mido is also a superb photographer. If he offers to take some photos of your do let him. I didn't know my camera phone could deliver such fabulous pictures. Almost the best pics of us since our wedding photos!
We booked the tour to Pyramids & the Egyptian Museum, Ahmed and Sharif were perfectly on time for the appointment, offered us bottles of water and air-conditioned clean car. Ahmed speaks perfect English, he has a great knowledge of all the historical places and he is sharing it with a unique way and a sense of humor. We appreciated all the trip, the knowledge sharing, the beautiful photos Ahmed made of us and generally taking great care of us during the tour. Highly recommended!
