What are people saying about Cairo

Deepti_K, Nov 2026

Good day trip

It was good the driver and guide Adil and Fawaz were good. The 4*4 driver Wahdil was amazing with his driving skills in the desert . The desert drive was fun. The views are amazing The only drawback of every tour is the expectation of tips a minimum of 8-10$ per person. We already spend a lot on tickets and giving such tips to every person on a tour is hard. They took the tip we offered as we told them the tickets are itself expensive and we have been booking multiple tours over the days .

Full day history work

This is a really full day experience a 10 hour day starting with the entrance to the Giza Plateau followed by 30 to 45 minute ride on the camels with plenty of pictures, followed by the tour around the great pyramid and the entrance to the queen pyramid funeral chamber. A walk down to the sphinx follows with plenty of pictures and the history of the sphinx. Then a Travel to a cartouche manufacturing company and a perfume/perfume essence demonstration and sale followed by all you can eat lunch and ending with a three hour tour at the great Egyptian museum, where the 80 ton statue of Ramses the second stands at the entrance, frankly if you are a Egypt history lover that museum can take 4 full hours.

Osama and Moody changed my life!

Osama is a professional,knowledgeable,respectful,responsible,kind, genuine,gentleman. He made my tour even more magnificent. I felt like I belonged. I felt like family. Please ask for Osama. Moody my driver was professional and kind. A very reliable and respectful man. I wish they were truly my blood. Osama explained the ancient Egyptian history and everybody knows him and always has positive things to say about him. I felt safe as a solo female traveler and they both were a true genuine gentleman. I am still in awe. Osama took over 50 pictures and taught me how to pose. He also connected me with wonderful local spots. They were quality spaces. I fell in love with Egypt!
