I would like to share our impressions from the tour we took to Cairo. We were extremely satisfied, our tour guide Sharrif was magnificent, giving us very interesting facts in a interesting manner. He also acted as our photograph, making our tour to Cairo most memorable. Biggest shukran to Sharrif. Also our driver Said was excellent. We will remember this exceptional tour for a very very long time.

Excellent private tour of Cairo, very flexible
