Rana from Sun Tours planned the perfect trip for us. Just ask and she’ll try to accommodate your requests. We were picked up at the cruise terminal by our very talented driver Mahmer in Port Said, who drove us to Cairo. We picked up Gigi, a vibrant, educated, and passionate guide in Cairo. She was prepared to advocate for us, and encouraged us to take water and hats/scarves to protect us from the sun. They both treated us with the utmost hospitality and kindness as though we were already close friends; with a warm welcome to Egypt. We went to Saqqara, the Pyramids at Giza and saw the Sphinx, as well as a papyrus shop and a restaurant for dinner. We were then dropped off at our hotel, with an amazing view of the pyramids. Gigi gave us a well-rounded glimpse into life in Egypt; and shared her vast amounts of knowledge about ancient Egyptian history and culture with us. She planned our trip with care so that we were able to avoid crowds and maximize our time. She and our driver picked us up the next morning for a tour of the citadel, the mosque, a stop at the bazaar, the Cairo museum highlights, a fragrance store and lunch before our driver took us to Alexandria to get back on our ship. There are few people who care as much about their guests as much as Mahmer and Gigi very obviously do. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for a lovely adventure through Cairo and Giza! I can’t wait to see both of you again; and I hope someday to return the hospitality that you have each shown us.
