Great experience visiting old Cairo and seeing all of the mosques in the area. Entered the largest mosque and learnt about Islamic culture and religion
Booked a two days tour with Sun Pyramids in Cairo. First day was wonderful. Was picked from airport by Karim and his driver friend. Next day Mohammad and his driver friend showed me around old Cairo, Citadel, Egyptian Museum and a boat ride in Nile. Had lunch at a wonderful place with view of pyramids. Great day and thanks to all for arranging the trip. Completely hassle free. Excited for rest of the tour.
Thank you very much for choosing Sun Pyramids Tours. It has been a pleasure to serve you during your stay in Egypt. We appreciate your review as it encourages us to do better in the next upcoming years. Looking forward to helping you more through your next journeys all around the world!
My husband and I booked our 1 day tour with Sun Pyramid Tours and we were fortunate enough to have Mervat Kefafy as our tour guide. Right upon pick up from our hotel we were impressed with the van we were picked up with very comfortable with blinds for our privacy which helped later in the day when I took a nap. There was even water in the van. Mervat starting giving us a brief history of the Egyptian civilization with her awesome pictures. Our first stop was the Saladin Citadel. Beautiful and unique. I was trying to take pictures in a beaded Kaftan and was not allowed to but I appreciate her defending me against the guards, regardless you took a beautiful picture. Our next stop was National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. I was so excited but sadly there was a long line to see the royal mummies. Mervat, again told the guards the line was not acceptable and tried her best to get us a shortcut. Nonetheless, it was amazing to see the mummies, especially Ramses II. She then took us to a local delicious restaurant for a meal and some rest. Our last stop was, old market of Khan El-Khalili. We bought some souvenirs. Thank you so much Sun Pyramids, Mahmoud who helped us book it and Mervat Kefafy. I wish we would have booked our entire 7 days in Egypt with this tour company but sadly we had it booked with another since last year. Stil, Mervat, checked in on me a few days later to see how we were doing and if we needed anything, that was truly special and appreciated! HIGHLY RECOMMEND SUN PYRAMID TOURS AND MERVAT KEFAFY!
Mahmoud and our driver Yousey did a wonderful job being our tour guides! We were in need of beautiful items to bring home and gifts for friends and family. He was able to help us find every last item, through his large network of connections around the city. He is patient and works hard to make sure that everything is perfect during your trip. The following day we went to the Egyptian museum and Mahmoud gave us a rich understand of Egypt’s thousands of years long history. We plant come back once the new museum is open in 2021! If you want to shop, dine, or learn about Cairo’s rich history Mahmoud at Sun Pyramids is the perfect guide for you.
