The good news is that we really enjoyed the tour, the bad news is that now we are going to have to pay for a private tour of future major museums that we visit :). The Egyptian museum has so many artifacts that it is impossible to absorb them all in a short period of time. Osama was able to take us to the most important pieces and provide great background and insight into the important collection. For the Coptic churches, he was great at pointing out the history and details for each church we visited. His calm demeanor was perfect for a museum and church tour environment.
We had an amazing time with our guide Salib and our driver. Pick up at the hotel was smooth and on time. We arrived at the Egyptian museum early enough to be one of the first people inside. He explained all of the main things to see and then gave us some free time to explore the museum on our own which was much appreciated! He offered to stop at a jewelry store to see the gold and silver items (again appreciated as another guide through a different company made multiple stops like this without asking if it was okay). We then went to Coptic Cairo to see several churches and a synagogue. Lunch was offered (we declined). We then went Khan El Khalili where we walked through the area while learning about the history. Salib was very knowledgeable. He and our driver were also very kind (opening the doors each time we got in and out). He purchased water for us when we finished what we brought. He also made sure we could stop back by the jewelry store to pick up our cartouches rather than having them dropped off at the hotel when they were finished. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone!
Salib is an excellent guide. Very calm, with big knowledge about all egyptian history. He took me to try the best falafel i ate in my all life.
Salib was our Guide and knows alot about Egyptian History and Culture. 100% recommended to do as you learn a lot. Lunch can be added additional
Our guide, Salib, was really excellent and made our tour such a highlight for us. Salib was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, friendly and so very humble. It was such a pleasure having him as a guide, we left with a wealth of knowledge that is so invaluable. We enjoyed every part of the trip, the Egyptian Museum was a wow factor, we loved seeing the beautiful churches in Coptic Cairo, especially the Cavern where the Holy Family stayed. It was also so good going through the Bazaar with him, he took us to all the perfect spots where we could get the items we wanted at bargain prices, saving us sooo much money! We also arrived at all attractions just before the big tour groups which was great. Salib also arranged for us to have lunch at one of the boat restaurants, it was so last minute and he made it happen for us, got us a table with a great view and the staff treating us like VIPs. Overall it was a wonderful tour, I highly recommend the private tour, personal touch is given!
