Khan el-Khalil and Mosques around there with Ibrahim - We had a two hour trip with Ibrahim. He took care of us very well. Walked with us in the market. This we escaped from all the haggling. If you know what you want to see, he can take you there and take care of you.

Transport to the airport - The company and the driver they sent are both reactive, professional and helpful. They picked me up at the hotel entrance and the car was comfortable and with air conditioning I recommend to book with them

Short walk, but very interesting. - Walid was a good guide, with great pronunciation in Portuguese. He learned to tell us a lot about the local culture. The visit to Memphis and Saqqara is much faster than the description of the ad, but it is very interesting, especially for knowing the beginning of the idea of building a masonry.

Tour with restrictions good. - Tour is hotel pickup and drop off only. Boat tour must be paid extra. Our driver was very good, he drives calmly and sedately. This made the car journey very pleasant. The boat tour on the Nile was nice, the boatmaster is very nice and let our daughter steer the boat.

Visit of 12/12/2025 - Our visit went very well but we had asked for a guide speaking French and the day before the visit at 6pm the agency informs us that no French guide is available and offers us an English, fortunately we were 2 out of 6 to speak English and our guide Basem was perfect, cordial and dedicated just like his driver. The title of the tour is wrong, it does not last 8 hours but for us 6 hours

Good choice for less than 4 to see Memphis and Sakkara - Very knowledgeable guide and very flexible about which places to visit and how much time to spend, He'll supply water and ask whether to stop at spots not on the tour such as a school that makes beautiful floor coverings, Our only suggestion would be to get a cleaner newer mini van,
