Top Cairo Bus Tours - page 185

We had an amazing day out with our guide Abeer and our driver Mostafa! Honestly we enjoyed this tour more than our visit to the Giza pyramids because it was less crowded and there was more to see. Abeer synced with us via WhatsApp the night before and she and Mostafa were waiting for us at the hotel a few minutes early. As Mostafa navigated the adventurous roads, Abeer gave us a summary of what to expect for the day and some historical background. We started at Saqqara with the Step pyramid where Abeer went the extra mile to make it interesting for our 2 kids (5 and 8 years old) by asking them questions and even drawing some pictures to make it more interesting. She then pointed out all the most interesting spots. There was so much to see at this stop, including hieroglyphics, paintings, and so many things to explore inside. We really appreciated Abeer making sure we saw all the highlights. After a nice explore, Mostafa picked us up again with the comfortable, cool car and more bottled water. We then arrived to the bent pyramid and the red pyramid. Not only did Abeer advise us which to go in, but they also managed to time it so that we avoided the big tour groups. We ended up going into the red pyramid and it was great! It was more interesting and big inside than we'd imagined and we had the inside all to ourselves. Before we left Abeer took some nice family pictures for us. We then had one last tour stop at a museum in Memphis where Abeer showed us lots of interesting details and answered all of our and our kids questions. Like the whole day she was so sweet with the kids, helping them by the hand and working hard to keep them engaged. We really really appreciated it. Lastly we stopped at a great restaurant for a late lunch where we had freshly prepared barbecue chicken and meet along with a buffet of other Egyptian food. Again I have to thank Abeer and the restaurant because she called ahead and arranged for pasta for the kids which was very thoughtful. She and the staff at the restaurant also played with the kids while we were sitting . I would also be remiss not to mention that the restaurant had an amazing pyramid view. Then we got back in the car and Mostafa dropped us off safely at the hotel. All in all it was a very nice day and we could tell that Abeer and Mostafa did everything they could to make the day comfortable, enjoyable, memorable, and informative. Thank you so much for everything!
