Planning Your Visit
When to go?

Book 3 or 4 days minimum just for sightseeing, but a full week is recommended for archeological day trips, or simply to uncover the many sides of Cairo's vibrant culture.

What people are saying about Cairo
EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE OVERALL! Esraa Ahmed did an excellent job with the whole tour. She made it a very welcoming environment, helped and collaborated with us in anything we asked for . The driver Mr Sayed, also provided us with a safe, and welcoming car ride. My family and I are so grateful for their kindness and humbleness in helping us have a Super experience. Our second driver Sobhy was really nice as well with our services and tour guide through the desert. He also cooked very good lunch for us. My baby enjoyed it. Thank you I’m grateful for it all. I recommend you them 100%.
O tour foi incrível graças ao excelente trabalho do Guia Mohsen e do Motorista Mohamed. Eles foram sensacionais, super prestativos e muito gentis durante todo o tour. Mohsen explicou detalhes de tudo com muita atenção para saber se estávamos realmente entendo. Eles conseguiram nos deixar muito à vontade, confortáveis e seguro por todo o tour. Muito obrigado!
Really great experience. Everything was perfect. Fares is the best guide I have ever met. So funny, so informative, so helpful. This is the experience you must not miss.
Value for money! The entertainment was what we were looking for i.e. an Egyptian experience. Tour guide made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed every moment.
Mohsen was a very informative tour guide. Always made sure we were comfortable, very knowledgeable! Unforgettable experience indeed
