Dagtur til Islamisk og Christian Kairo

Menna has been out guide both for the pyramids as well as Christian/Islamic Cairo tours. She was brilliant and made our tour memorable. Her and our driver Mr. Walid were both professionals and highly recommended.

I had a great time on this tour mainly because Essam was a great guide. He always made sure I was okay and was having a good time. Temed (driver) was also great and made me feel safe on the road. Essam was very informative telling me about the history of the mosques and churches. He also gave me little gifts throughout the tour. LUNCH This is a buffet covered by the tour price, but you can pay extra for drinks. Assuming you go to the same restaurant I went to, I highly recommend the green soup (I forgot the name) as that was extremely tasty MARKET The tour ended at Khan el-Khalili where there are some old mosques. Note that you will get a lot of market stall-holders trying to get you in their shop, but it’s typical of a market. I ended up buying perfume oils and Essam helped me negotiate the prices :) If you have time, I do recommend using this opportunity to do your shopping with your tour guide (assuming they don’t mind and are comfortable being your negotiator). I also recommend wearing your sunglasses (even if the sun isn't shining) so you can look at things without the stall-holders noticing. Overall, this is definitely a to-do tour if you enjoy religious history. N.B. expect to take off your shoes every time you enter a mosque and cover your hair and shoulders (if you are a lady). I wore a t-shirt but had my shawl with me that I put on each time.

Magdy is the best tour guy I was so happy with him because he is such a wonderful person and tour guy he knows the history and he explains everything with details and so friendly that he is Like a friend. I will recommend him 100%. And the driver very nice and with a friendly smile all the time. Magdy goes beyond expectations with his job. I had like 6 tour guys in Egypt but he was the best .

It was amazing knowledge for part of Mohamed our guía ,about different cultures and religion also basically religion are based in one God with different names ,amazing constructions

We adore our guide Mima, possessing a lot of knowledge. We were amazed by this tour, learned a little about Islamic culture and were impressed by the religiousness and the size of the mosques. Unforgettable tour.

Tour guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Good sense of humor. He took great photos for us

Full credits to Ahmed Hamed and Esam for two days of awesome tours. Did a day trip to Al Alamein and another day at the Citadel, Pyramids, and the Sphinx. Very professional service from the duo, flexible pickup and drop offs, very informative tours, allowance for last minute deviations, and very helpful. The tour of the coptic Centre’s were an eye opener as well as the synagogue but thoroughly enjoyed the citadel. Visited the German, Italian, and Commonwealth memorials as well as the museum, they were very helpful in gaining access to the sites even as they were closed. Highly recommend the pair for anyone in need of a tour of Cairo, it’s major sites as well as Al Alamein.

Ola our guide is fluent in three languages Arabic , Russian and English . She was very patient from the getgo. We weren’t able to make at our start time due to our kids not waking up in time but she and her driver were very understanding . She is very knowledgeable in Egyptian history. Gave us a very good tour we ended up learning a lot . We felt at ease with her . We did do some side shopping (never pressed to buy anything we didn’t want ) . We wanted some scarfs and she at the end took us there . Our driver Farag was well dressed (suited )and extremely professional. Strongly recommend Ola and Farag. The van was spacious and comfortable .

To start, they arrived late. I got a message at start time they would be 20 minutes late due to traffic. Traffic is a very accepted issue in Cairo, how did they not plan for this? The tour guide, Sayed, also continuously complained about the heat all day long. It was extremely annoying. If he wasn’t prepared for 90 degrees, he should not be an Egypt tour guide in the summer. It was hot, but I was completely fine. The Islamic Cairo portion of the tour was fine. He gave me base level information, not a ton of details, and was fixated with telling me “there are a lot of details in the architecture). I didn’t learn much but felt we covered it well. I was frustrated when he saw his buddy at the second stop and wanted me to stop and listen to a Quran reading (clearly for a tip for the guy), which I refused. Probably the worst tour I’ve ever had for Khan El-khalili and Coptic Cairo. For Coptic cairo, he gave me ZERO information. To say he wasn’t knowledgeable might be a compliment. He pointed out none of the very important fixtures or the sites including the viewing area of the hanging church, the Virgin Mary painting, the dark pillar, etc…luckily I had read about them in advance. Quite frankly; this was a bad tour. It got worse with Khan El Khalili. Our first stop was before Coptic Cairo, he walked me down one, wide street, with very few shops, telling me it’s better to see this part and not be busy. I told him that was absolutely not the experience I wanted at a busy bazaar and the point was to see the hustle and bustle there. He said we could come back later. We did, I almost wish we didn’t. I followed him around, through 3 dead ends, once he circled the same block twice, it was as if he had never been there before. I asked about the spices, he couldn’t explain them to me. Honestly, this tour was awful and Sayed was one of the worst tour guides I have ever had.

Authentic and knowledgeable tour of Orthodox Christian churches, Jewish synagogues and Muslim mosques. Tour was made extra special by surprise treats along the way and pit stops at Egyptian souvenir shops.
