Islamic Cairo

This tour delivers exactly what is described in the itinerary. My tour guide Noha Nabil was fantastic. We started the day in Coptic Cairo and saw all of the sights there (the hanging church was outstanding), then moved to the Citadel area and saw Islamic Cairo and finished up at the Khan-el-Khalili. It was all fantastic and informative. Thanks Noha!

Our driver was great. He made us very comfortable in his car. He gave us drinks and guide us through out the whole tide. Yasin is very gentle, professional, humble and down to earth. I highly recommend him.

I can not express how great it was! Osama the driver and our tour guide Ahmed (Jackson) treated us like family the last day I actually felt sad to leave because of such great relationship. Highly recommend it very punctual, nice car, supper knowledgeable, and even great photographer, oh and great teacher! Thanks

The Driver Osama was very friendly perfect in English very polite and helpful in everything I really enjoyed the trip

Mina my guide is so informative , I enjoyed alot with his information like fountain of information about Egyptian history , Ahmed is the driver is always number 1 driver in Egypt, highly recommended

We booked a private tour to visit the Old Islamic Cairo including the marketplace. We arrived quite late to the hotel with our group and our guide Mohamed was there waiting for us. He showed us some attractions on the way to the old district and once there, we walked around for a couple of hours or so. We also had coffee and sweet bread in the famous cafe there El Fishawi. We were impressed with the wonderful architecture and the whole atmosphere of narrow, bustling streets with crazy traffic and friendly people. Our guide was cooperative and helpful and got us back to our hotel in good time.

Essam’s knowledge of the history of Cairo - in this case Islamic Cairo - and his enthusiasm to share that knowledge made this a wonderful and highly recommended tour. I came back to Cairo to see and learn more about the city other than ancient Egypt and pyramids. And this tour was exactly what I hoped for. Plus I had my first taste of Egyptian koshari.

Hala is the best guide. Not knowing much about Cairo and it's famous sights, Hala introduced me to Cairo with enthusiasm and information. She is a caring guide and I felt she was a friend. Really nice to have a fun and inspired female guide to show me around. We sampled coffee at a very unique coffee place in Islamic Cairo as well as the famous macaroni dish!. I learned a lot. Thank you, Hala!

On my last day in Cairo, I decided to visit the Egyptian museum with a knowledgeable guide. I booked this tour and met my guide Ehab and the driver Ahmed in front of the hotel. Ehab was very well-informed about the artifacts at the museum, as well as the Egyptian history and archeological discoveries. I was trilled to see the archeologists at work in the museum, repairing and cleaning the ancient tombs and artifacts, alongside the visitors. Afterward we visited the Christian Coptic neighborhood which was a gem by itself. We also passed by various muslim establishments and historical sites in Cairo. I highly recommend having a guide to visit the Egyptian museum to optimize your time!

Muhammad was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout our tour with him. We learned a lot!

awesome experience w ayman and soulean. we covered a lot of history and it was a very pleasant tour. we even stopped by papyrus factory which was the cherry on top. very complete tour even in the heat. they really take care of you and go with your pace. i very much recommend this. it will immediately submerge u in the culture! a must!

Moussalem, the guide, was very professional and amiable. Thank you. The tour was very good. It proposed 8 to 10 hours, but we finished at 17:00, so this should be corrected in the “ what to expect “ section. We did not go to Khan al Khalili, either, as indicated. The other parts ( citadel and nearby mosques, and Coptic Cairo) we’re impeccable. We liked it very much. Lunch was fine and adequate.
