Great guide!
Reem was amazing! Showed me around all the sites and answered all my questions. She also helped me order a cartouche and I got to see it made in front of me. She was also kind enough to let me have an extra stop to exchange money and she took so many amazing photos. Highly recommend!

Fantastic sites in old Cairo
Fantastic sites in Cairo. We started with a visit to the Citadel of Cairo and visiting the Alabaster Mosque. We then visited the Coptic section with a visit to the Hanging Church and the Ben Ezra Synagogue. We saw where the holy family stayed when they were in Egypt. Our lunch was at a local restaurant Very tasty food

Good cultural tour
The tour was perfectly organized by Ibrahim, an outstanding guide who combines friendliness, kindness, and a great sense of humor with extensive knowledge of Cairo’s history, architecture, and culture. His explanations were engaging and made every stop even more interesting.
The itinerary included the Citadel, the Coptic Quarter, and Khan El Khalili Bazaar, with a delicious lunch included during the day. The pace was well balanced, allowing plenty of time to enjoy each location without feeling rushed.
Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the historic heart of Cairo with a knowledgeable and passionate guide.
