Unforgettable - We very much enjoyed our private tour of Cairo’s historic mosques and Coptic churches. From the start, our guide Nasser brought Egypt's deep spiritual and cultural history to life. We started in Islamic Cairo, where we visited architectural masterpieces like the Muhammad Ali Mosque and the Sultan Hassan Mosque. The second half of the tour took us into Coptic Cairo, where the contrast was beautifully striking. The Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, where the Holy Family was sheltered was especially meaningful. The Hanging Church was also a big highlight. We also enjoyed Ben Ezra Synagogue, the oldest Jewish temple in Cairo, and the 10th century Greek Orthodox Church of Saint George. Nasser connected the diverse threads of Egypt’s religious history and was incredibly knowledgeable and respectful of all the traditions and stories behind each site. Great tour!

Coptic and Islamic Tour - Nasser was an incredibly warm, knowledgeable guide on this tour, and his driver, Nour, was excellent! I LOVED this tour and had no idea that Cairo had a "Little Jerusalem. " We were transported in time to the 3rd and 4th century. It was phenomenal to experience the art, architecture, music, and pure sacredness of each place he took us. I'll remember this tour forever.
