Informative, professional and good English

This is our second experience (day) with Emad Salib. I recommend him without hesitation: informative, professional, punctual for pick-ups, not in a hurry except when the program requests. We visited the Citadel, the Civilization Museum, the Hanging Church, and the Egyptian Museum. Good balance between direct, spoken information and time for use alone to see things around.

Excellent tour

The tour was excellent. Our guide, mister Emad Salib, offered us a lot of information in an easy-to-follow way and in a very clear english. He answered our questions well. He is also a very polite, attentive and kind person. He even helped us better interact with local venders. He is punctual and a good driver. These really are not empty words: this was our second tour with him - a 10-hour tour, and it was worth every minute. Thank you, mister Salib!

Great visit with Emad

Emad took us on a full day tour of some parts of Cairo. We first had a visit to the old Egyptian museum. Later, we went to the Coptic area and the Citadel, and then ended the day with some shopping of artisinal Egyptian products. He was súper friendly and knowledgeable of Egyptian history. I would recommend him for your tour!
