Egypt is welcoming to Americans

Trenice_J, Jan 2025

Meeting Amr was a breath of fresh air, specifically after being in Egypt for a few days and encountering the hustlers as they aggressively look to prey on tourists - women tourists to say the least. Amr was different and we knew almost immediately that we would be safe and treated with respect. He was professional, personable, patient, polite, humble, knowledgeable, confident, and he cared about our interests. We loved that he was not pushy and aggressive like others we met. He understood and acknowledged our views as opposed to the life in Cairo. Prior to taking our adventure, he explained what we would be doing by providing a detailed description to include the history. When he thought I overpaid him, she explained the conversion method and informed me the amount he owed me. I then informed him it was hip tip. We had an interesting ride in a felluca as we sailed in the river and learned the history. Amr is also great at taking pictures. He took beautiful shots of us as the sun glistened. We walked the streets of Cairo and were introduced to koshary. OH MY… it was delicious! The spices set it off 🔥. We went to Cairo Tower to explore the beauty of the night scenery. It was an amazing view. Amr had us to stand in the perfect spots to capture the best photos. We then went to a tea and coffee spot where people were out enjoying hookahs, listening to music and sipping tea and/or coffee. The vibe was cozy! I highly recommend Amr for your tour guy in Egypt. NO SCAMS or pressure whatsoever! He welcomed us and we felt comfortable. He even agreed for us to video him. Now he’s apart of my United States Facebook family. Thanks Amir!!! It was fun 🤩

Nice experience

Elisavet_K, Nov 2024

Ιt was a nice experience, Mohamed is a very friendly and good guide, who also arranged for me to get brought at my hotel without any extra charge. The Highlight was the private Boat tour in Nil, where you could enjoy on your own, when every other Boat was filled with tourists! The entrance fee of the Cairo Tower was 300 egp and feluca 200 egp

Unique and Intimate

Paul_V, Aug 2024

Very intimate tour of some great sites in downtown Cairo. The tour guides were very professional albeit about 45 minutes late. Saw the Cairo Tower, rode a Feluca boat on the Nile, had Koshary dinner, and ended the night at a nice cafe with shisha. The guides were very chatty (so be prepared to talk a lot) and knowledgeable. Would recommend!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

thank you so much Paul ;I really appreciate it and for your patient we are trying to do our best and hope to see you again and this time we are not going to be late

Great and special trip

Carsten_C, Jul 2023

It was a great tour with a very nice boat ride on the Nile and a great finish with best Koshari in town and a nice tea afterwards

The BEST time!

TessaJean_G, Jun 2023

The PERFECT night in Cairo! Highly recommend this tour as it was amazing! Everything went as promised and the tour guides were the best!

Really great tour - this is a good one to book!

Adrienne_G, Jun 2023

This was a really fun experience! My guide Amr was informative, kind, and made the tour unique by catering to my questions and letting them guide the flow of the evening. I learned a lot and laughed a lot. Amr is a truly kind person, so that made it easy for us to connect and have a great night as friends. I highly recommend this tour.

Amr was excellent with the night tour

Gina_T, Apr 2023

If you're in Cairo, make sure you pick EMO for all of your tours. We had Amr our tour guide. He was patient, and knowledgeable about every where he took us. He made sure we were safe and enjoyed every aspect Night Cairo. We had dinner with locals, hung out after Iftar and had a really good time. Ahr is gifted with the iPhone, and he doesn't mind taking all of the pictures for you. He was very professional and kind while they gave us a local perspective of Cairo. Excellent service and very professional yet personable enough to make the tour very fun. Request him if you can, he does an excellent tour.

The Evening didn’t happen!

Robinm_C, Apr 2023

My booking was confirmed by Viator and my payment taken. On arrival at the meeting point I got hotel to ring the guide who said as it was Ramadan the tour was not going and asked me if infact it had been confirmed. Yes it had… and my money taken Spoilt a precious night in Cairo

Awesome mini food adventure

Natalie_L, Mar 2023

We wanted to avoid playing it safe in the hotel restaurant for our first night in Cairo. So we booked this night tour as a way to kickstart our Egypt adventure. Amr was a wonderful guide - respectful, enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable and honestly wanted to show us a good time. The sunset felucca ride was beautiful and the local food was amazing! Amr's colleague Mohammed joined us for Turkish tea and coffee at a local laneway cafe at the end of the tour and we all chatted and laughed like old friends. Highly recommend this tour if you want a friendly, down to earth, local experience. You won't regret it!

Spontaneous, infectious fun!

David_W, Mar 2023

Our last two nights in Egypt were in Cairo, and looking for some fun and adventure we booked this night tour with Mohammed. It turned out to be one of the best experiences of our trip. The value of this tour was lots of spontaneous activity and discovering things we would not have found on our own. We enjoyed excellent koshary at a legendary restaurant followed by coffee and hookah at a lovely yet bustling courtyard setting. Off script, we continued our evening attending an wonderfully entertaining tanoura music/dance at the amazing Wekalet El Ghoury. This was high a high-quality and much appreciated performance! Mohammed is fun, gracious, spontaneous, and he takes great care of all his guests. Be open to any adjustments/recommendations he makes. Highly recommended!

Best Ever

Melynda_D, Feb 2023

My husband and I have traveled to a lot of places around the world. Amr hands down is the best guide we ever had. He was respectful, intelligent, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed how personable he was. If you can request someone by name, ask for him. We started as strangers and left as friends.

A Wonderful Night to Remember

Desire_H, Dec 2022

My husband and I discovered the Cairo Night Tour and decided it would be the perfect way to spend our last evening in Cairo. The tour was even better than we could have imagined. We had the best time with Mohamed and we learned more about the Egyptian way of life than we had the entire time we’d spent in Egypt. Mohamed is such a funny, charismatic and energetic tour guide. He treats you like one of his local friends and goes out of his way to immerse you in Egyptian culture. We loved everything about our evening, but we especially enjoyed our stops where we were the only tourists surrounded by locals. We highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed. Thank you to Mohamed for making our last evening in Egypt a special night we will always remember.

Great experience. Highly recommend.

Waqas_A, Dec 2022

Great experience of Cairo at night. Amr is such a humble person who is passionate to show the best that Cairo has to offer. Really enjoyed our conversations and hoping we can see him again.

Good experience

Anjali_G, Sep 2022

Peaceful boat ride on Nile river followed by good Local dinner Kushary at Abu Tarek!! Didn’t get a chance to visit Cairo Tower as it was closed for a week. Local coffee shop was also a good short stop.

Excellent Experience

Jose_C, Apr 2022

The tour.was excellent but the tour guy Mohama was such nice person with a beutiful personality.. Everyone will enjoy his company

Nile and Cairo Trip

Angelos_Vardakis, Nov 2021

Amazing trip, we started at the Nile River riding a felluca (boat) which is really nice , elevating the Cairo Tower, the tallest building in Cairo where the view is exciting, and wll this accompanied with our tour guide Maryam Alaa, which history of places we were crossing in detail and her English are 10/10. Ask for Maryam!!

Très bonne expérience

Milena_V, Oct 2023

Très belle façon de découvrir Le Caire de nuit ! Le guide met très à l’aise et fait en sorte que le tour ressemble plus à une sortie convivial qu’à une visite guidée classique. Je recommande fortement.

Meilleure expérience en Egypte

John_A, Apr 2022

Décidément la meilleure activités que nous aillons faite au Caire (et même en Egypte en réalité). Nous avons ENFIN pu nous mélanger à la population locale le temps d'une soirée. Le parfait mélange entre sortie culturel (car Mohamed a beaucoup de connaissance) et découverte du vrai Caire.

Ich war mit Hamdeen...

Victoria_F, Oct 2021

Ich war mit Hamdeen Elsafy unterwegs und es war sehr schön.Wir waren auf den Nile,und danach auf die Cairo Tower,wo man ein ganzes blick von Kairo haben kann.Es gab leider eine komische Situation mit meine Kreditkarte und er war sehr hilfbereich, er hat mich begleitet bis ich es gelöst habe.Suoer empefehlung.
