2 perfect days in Cairo

josephine_d, Oct 2023

Yes you will have to tip all day long (everyone does it: the tourists, but the locals too, so plan for a lot of 10 bills), yes you may be dropped at shops that were not planned in the program (but this helps discover local craft and meet new people, you don’t have to buy, just be curious and give a little tip), and yes you will have to pay with your card and get cash back from the guide at all attractions. Once you have that in mind, and see that it is the case for ALL tours, you will have a blast! My guide Amal and my driver Amro were extremely nice, very knowledgeable and open. I felt safe (while driving in Cairo is crazy), and welcomed. They found restaurants with a pyramid view, which wasn’t originally planned, they kindly offered me water, sweets, coffee and dates, and they paid some tips so I wouldn’t have to take the stairs or wait in a queue. And in a private tour, it is a good opportunity to spend quality time with locals. Concerning the attractions, we covered everything which was described. But not more. If you want to visit the inside of a pyramid, beware that you are looking at 80m of tiny tunnels (you can’t stand, and some tall people had to crawl!) in the heat with little air (don’t be claustrophobic, and bring water with you). Dashur is harder than Kheops. The « old » Cairo museum is still super worth it, even if some pieces have been moved to the not opened yet new Grand museum. So net, i recommend this tour, I was dreaming about visiting Egypt, and those 2 days in Cairo were perfect :)
