This is a no hassle way of seeing some great sites with a brilliant guide and driver in a very comfortable air conditioned car.
Nasser was a fantastic guide with an amazing knowledge of Egypt and the sites we visited in a relaxed and informative manner.
We started with the unmistakable site of the pyramids, Sphinx, several tombs and the incredible site of the Sun Boat. This is a must see attraction and well worth the extra admission fee of 100 Egyptian pounds. We then braved the Cairo traffic with our driver who expertly navigated us to the Cairo museum, a beautiful colonial building. Nasser gave us a tour so that we saw the relevant highlights and his knowledge brought the experience to life. The highlight of the visit has to be the Tutankhamun exhibits and the gold mask which, although so familiar, is jaw dropping when seen for real. After this we were escorted to the Old Coptic Christian part of Cairo and the hanging church which should not be missed.
We were then escorted safely back to our hotel for a cold beer. What’s not to love?
A big Thank you Nasser and driver (sorry we didn’t get his name) for an amazing day. We will definitely recommend you to our friends. Mr Tim and Mr Stuart
