Good tour to see the main...

Good tour to see the main sights of the old city. Unfortunately we did not get to see Khan al Khalili but everything else was accommodated with information provided. Mirna was very helpful as one of our group who needed more time walking and resting, identifying places for them to rest and was very supportive.

Blessing from Iman with coptic and Islamic Cairo

Good day out with Sayed Mahmoud (guide) and driver Ahmhed visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo. They were happy to change the programme to suit my taste. I liked going to the mosque, it was more interesting. I got a blessing from thr Iman for my birthday.

Hmmmmm

This tour has some pluses and minuses: Pluses: The guide, Zeinab, contacted us a day earlier to make sure we had her contact information. She was also accommodating and provided us with a summary of how the day would go. She also took pictures of us. Minuses: The guide provided some historical information at the beginning of each point. This information was basic, not to the level of a certified tourist guide. Asking her questions did not feel comfortable. She didn't seem very open to conversation or to being asked about the historical sites we were visiting. It felt rushed, and she would let us wander, and she would sit on a corner waiting for us. She did not share lunch with us either. We had to figure out what we were eating. It was like having a planner more than a guide. I am glad we read books before coming to Egypt because the guide we had did not make the visit rich in historical knowledge.
