This is a fantastic tour, I ended up with only myself and the guide Bahar. Every place we went to I was so amazed. The highlight of my trip was going to the Mosque in the city of the dead - absolutely stunning!

Mohamed, nuestro guía, es un gran conocedor de la cultura egipcia y nos ha ayudado a entender esta ciudad desde una perspectiva diferente. Este tour resulta imprescindible para quien quiera conocer otra visión completamente diferente del Cairo, de su vida, de sus costumbres y de su sociedad. Muy recomendable
