I arranged the day trip to Cairo just a day or two before leaving for our holiday in Sharm El Sheikh. Nabil and his team were very attentive and helpful over WhatsApp, and everything went smoothly.
My daughter and I were collected from our hotel at 5:15 a.m. by Salah, who drove us to the airport for the short flight to Cairo. On arrival, we were met by Yousef, our guide for the day, and Said, our driver.
We visited the old museum, where Yousef ensured we saw the Tutankhamun exhibits before the crowds arrived. After the museum, we chose to take an optional trip on the Nile before lunch. Lunch was amazing, and our vegetarian diets were extremely well catered for.
We then visited the Pyramids and the Sphinx, which were incredible and the highlight of the trip. Yousef’s knowledge and insight really added to our experience, and Said cheerfully and skillfully navigated Cairo’s traffic.
On our return to Sharm El Sheikh airport, Salah was waiting to take us back to our hotel. It was a long but unmissable day.
