Top Cairo Half-day Tours - page 70

We had such a wonderful experience on our food tour in Cairo with Magy! She was incredibly friendly, upbeat, and genuinely excited to share her culture and introduce us to the incredible variety of Egyptian food. The tour was packed and involved quite a bit of walking, but Magy did an excellent job keeping everyone organized and making sure we got to each location smoothly. At every stop, she was also very attentive and asked if there was anything else we wanted to try. I really appreciated this flexibility. On many food tours, you’re given a set “menu” and that’s it, but Magy’s attitude was essentially, “If you want to try something else, just let me know,” and she would make it happen. That made the experience feel much more personal. There were definitely a lot of breads and carbs throughout the tasting, but there was still a great deal of variety with the different side dishes, dips, flavors, and both sweet and savory options. We got to experience foods and flavors that gave us a much better sense of everyday Egyptian cuisine and culture. I can absolutely see why this is such a popular tour. Magy brought so much energy and enthusiasm to the experience, and she clearly loves sharing another side of Cairo with visitors. We left feeling very full, happy, and like we had experienced something genuinely special. Highly recommend the tour — and especially Magy as a guide!

Did the half day guided tour of the GEM. Our guide Ghada had spent 6 years studying archeological sites at university and was very knowledgeable. You could tell by her passion for the subject she is doing something that she loves and it was infectious.

On August 28th, 2026, I embarked on a fascinating tour guided by the knowledgeable and affable Mahmoud Khalefa, accompanied by the talented driver Mohammed. Mahmoud Khalefa's expertise in Egyptian history was evident throughout the tour, while Mohammed's driving skills ensured a safe and enjoyable journey. Their friendly demeanor and enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable.
