We had a great trip with Mohammed to Caïro. He picked us up at the hotel at 2AM as agreed, and we arrived at the Egyptian museum just before it opened at 9AM.
First he gave us a guided tour and then we got some free time to look around. Museum is way too big to see it all, but we got a good impression.
Afterwards we visited a papyrus factory/shop (yes… just for tourists, but nice to see the process anyway) and had lunch in a restaurant with view on the piramides.
Next we visited the piramides and the Sphinx. Mohammed also drove us to a viewpoint in the desert with a beautiful view of the three large and several small piramides. From this location we also saw the Saqqara step piramide from a distance.
Finally we drove back to the hotel. What we also very much appreciated is that he offered extra options during the trip like a camel ride or Nile boat ride, but that he immediately said ‘no is also an option’. I would certainly recommend booking a trip with Mohammed.
