Great tour in Cairo

Published on Dec, 2024

Driver picked us up from the hotel on time and we met Mahmoud the guide at the first site. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He catered the tour to us by changing it from Mosques only to a combination of Mosques, Churches and a Synagogue. The Egyptian lunch was really good. Mahmoud took some really great photos of us. Would highly recommend

We spent the day at the Citadel and Al-Alzahar Mosque. Our tour guide, Alfifi, was great! He was friendly, personable, knowledgeable and flexible. We had explained to him that we had seen some of the mosques in our first day in Cairo, so we ended spending more time at the Citadel and Al-Alzahar Mosque. He explained everything thoroughly but in a way that was easy to understand. He took us to a buffet for lunch, where the food was fresh and delicious. The driver, Mohammed, was friendly, personable, and punctual.

More beautiful than I could have imagined.

Mirna was a wonderful guide. Met us at the hotel and made sure we had the appropriate clothing and headscarves for our visit before leaving. She provided excellent information about each stop, and was accomodating of a bit of change in plans with my friend who was injured and could not walk for long distances. We were able to see all of the listed mosques and madrasa and some great views of Cairo from the Citadel. She even arranged for us to hear a Muslim prayer inside of one of the mosques and made sure we got great photos!

Really interesting to see these huge peaceful mosques and understand the history
