“This is way more organised than you think. We were total like 20person which were split to 4-5 people each team. Our driver Badr was the best driver we could ever ask for. He prepared all the meals, all the tents etc. to perfection. This was the highlight of our trip to Egypt.”

Explore Islamic Cairo after dark on a five-hour local tour through Al Moez Street, Khan El Khalili, old markets, mosques, and quiet alleys.
“We loved this Tour. My guide Zizou, was very knowledgeadable, he even used to live in the streets we were walking around. We learned every little secret in the "Moez Street", "Khan El Khalili" and the "Islamic Cairo", he explained us the meaning of each building, corner, alley and mosque that we stood upon. He took wonderful pictures of us and used his own phone to lookup things he wanted to show us, complementing the explanations he made. The experience was amazing, we got to see El Cairo from a different perspective and enjoyed every second of it.”

Review of Cairo’s private felucca and food tour, with sunset Nile views, koshari, hotel transport, guide tips, costs, and drawbacks.
“The felucca ride was the perfect start. Imagine gliding peacefully down the river, the cool breeze carrying the scent of spices and jasmine from bustling streets, while the city's iconic landmarks—the majestic pyramids, the elegant minarets—painted the backdrop in hues of gold and orange. Ahmed wasn't just our captain; he was a storyteller, weaving tales of pharaohs and the Nile's ancient secrets, bringing history to life with every passing monument.”

Review the Giza Pyramids Sound and Light Show, with honest advice on transport, seats, price, weather, show quality, and who should book.
“Dahlia was a superb guide and the friendliest person we've met in Egypt. She was an absolute treat and spoiled us like a mum with some of her personal treats. I booked this because I could not get tickets from the official site and was worried it would be sold out by the time I hot to Egypt. This was double the price but included transfer and guide. Turns out I could have booked the tickets on the night BUT Dahlia had made the experience worth it and I would do this again thanks to Dahlia”
Explore Cairo after dark with authentic Egyptian food, Old Islamic Cairo, Khan El-Khalili, Nile views, private transport, and local guides.

Review of Cairo’s 2-hour felucca ride with hotel transfers, sunset or sunrise views, sailing conditions, value, and practical booking tips.
“Don’t waste your money on this. It doesn’t do anything in the title. The 2 hours included the travel to and from the dock and the boat ride itself was only about 20 minutes to the middle of the river and back. One small cup of tea between three of us, no water offered as described. Didn’t even see the sunset as it was so quick we were back before it even started setting. Very disappointing.”
Pick a tomb, a reef or a dune.
