I could not wish for more.My guide Mohamed Osama was the best guide anyone could wish for.I had not met yet more kind,more passionate guide as this young boy was.Have to mention our professional driver too as traffic in Cairo is.....speechless!!!!! So ,thank You so so much for unforgettable and flawless time!!You made my last tour and last day in Egypt a highlight.So my tour to Islamic/Coptic Cairo and we went to Cairo museum too.To be honest,i did not expect Citadel to be more beautiful as Blue Mosque in Istanbul.But this architect had no limits,he made Citadel much more breathtaking.Just breathtaking.I can not explain this feeling inside my chest when i got inside,everyone must experience it personally.Citadel is outstanding art of Islamic world.After we went to see more mosques which took my breath away in all aspects too.What an art...what a scale,a massiveness...Just impossible to realise how great they looked back then hundreds of years ago when there were not big buildings around...Hypnotising.I am so blessed to see this greatness today,trying to go back to that ancient time,feel it,explore it and touch it.
We went to Coptic part,had my coffee near by at local coffee shop as needed to clear my overwhelmed head. Entered all Coptic Churches from the list and once again i was stunned.There were too much hypnosis in 1 day.I would advise tourists to do 1 full day Islamic Cairo and 1 full day Coptic Cairo+Museum.It is just too beautiful to miss something!!!So after Coptic part by my choice instead of Bazaar we went to Museum.Yes,of course i had too little time.Need all day to explore everything as it is massive+queue to get tickets will take you at least 1-1.5 hours..So we went to see only highlights i chose.
Happy,very very happy.So,my dear guide Mohamed Osama,Thank You so so much for guiding me,such a privilege to chat with you and a chance to know you. I was the luckiest woman in all the world that day.And Thank You Egypt for being and letting us to explore inside You.best wishes for Rawahel Travel from Ireland and have a lovely New 2019 Year!!
