It was an amazing experiance and the mosques were beautiful. Truly the history of Islam in Egypt. Ayoub our tour guide was very knowledgable and was very kind and polite. I will recommend having him as your tour guide.👍
Our guide was Ayub. He was not very well informed about the different mosques and museum. Lunch was fine, he gave us a choice of Egiptian food and we chose chicken Shwarma. We felt the guide was in a hurry to cover the tour, which was covered in 3 and a half hours including lunch, while the brochure says it would last 7 hours. The tour guide didn't cover all the mentioned mosques - we missed the Mosque of Amr Ibn-Al-As and the Islamic Cairo, Midan Silah ad-Din. So half the tour was not given to us. Too much money for what we got
If you go to see the Pyramids in GIZA, you can explore their mysterious interiors. If you wander around Islamic Cairo, you can witness architecture from the early-mid-century era and even see the design printed on the five Egyptian pounds in real. Also,you can experience the view through the "Mashrabiyas" , which were specifically made for women on the upper floor windows, as described by Naguib Mahfouz, the Nobel laureate in literature. My tour guide, Mr.Mimo was kind and punctual. Thanks to him, I was able to visit the long-awaited "Binal Qasuline." Don't forget to bring a hat and sunscreen.I recommend not only this tour but also taking your meaningful time on the Nile by Felucca, a traditional wooden sailing boat, has no engine.
Manar and driver Abdu were awesome. Manar is knowledgeable and a great guide through the complex history of Islamic Cairo. She is flexible and I never felt rushed - I had plenty of time to explore the fascinating locations. Highly recommended.
