Such an amazing experience! If you're in Cairo, this tour is 100% the way to do it. Our guide Zeinab was so friendly and knowledgeable, she really made the history come alive. Seeing the Pyramids and Sphinx in person was unreal, and the camel ride was such a fun add-on. The Egyptian Museum was packed with incredible artifacts, and Zeinab explained everything in a way that was super engaging. Lunch was great, and ending the day with a peaceful sail on the Nile was the cherry on top.
Highly recommend if you want to hit all the highlights without the stress of planning it yourself!!
