Our guide was Mahmoud and Ramadan was our driver. I'd always wanted to go to the Cairo Tower, but never seemed to have gotten there during my previous two visits to Cairo 40 years ago. This 3 hour tour seemed the perfect solution, see the tower and also be able to introduce my friend, a first timer to Egypt, to downtown Cairo at night. Our flight back from Aswan was late, getting us to our hotel after our tour was supposed to have started. I can't begin to say how much we both appreciated finding Mahmoud waiting for us in the lobby when we arrived, at least a good half hour past the scheduled time of departure. Even though we were late getting started, Mahmoud and Ramadan gave us the full tour and I was finally able to visit the Cairo Tower, which is actually higher than the Space Needle here in Seattle.
