I booked this experience in Khan el-Khalili in Cairo with Egypt Tours Travel, guided by Mostafa, and it turned out to be one of the most fun evenings of my life. Both the tour manager, Marwan, and Mostafa went above and beyond to tailor the experience perfectly to my wishes and preferences. Everything felt personal and thoughtfully arranged. I enjoyed amazing food, drinks, plenty of photo opportunities, and received great tips for buying souvenirs on my last day. It was truly a memorable and authentic experience, and I can’t recommend Egypt Tours Travel enough. I will definitely travel with them again whenever I visit Egypt!
