We actually flew from Cyprus where we were holidaying and stayed a night at a hotel.
We were late on arrival and Ahmed was waiting for us.
He led us swiftly to the Visa kiosk ($25 dollars per person cash only) and through customs to the waiting van.
We met our Egyptologist (I was a little sceptical about that but as it turned out Tito knew his subject inside out) and straight to Cairo Museum. The aeroplane was late and Tito took us on a whistle stop tour of the most important exhibits. That was brilliant as he put them in context and explained the significance of each.
The next day we went to see the Pyramids and Sphinx. Tito arrived promptly as organised and again an excellent and knowledgeable guide.
He ensured we got to the airport on time.
We picked up Ahmed on the way and he ensured emigration went smoothly.
Would definitely recommend again, excellent service and staff at very reasonable cost.
The Egyptian people would seem to definitely want us to start visiting again and in my opinion now is the time to go. Both attractions not busy and no problem with hawkers or scammers.
