Cairo Layover Tour Giza PyramidsSphinx Egyptian Museum Camel Ride Lunch Market

A really great layover tour. Zainab was a fantastic guide. I'm recommending this tour to all my friends.

I found Egypt tours to be a truly professional tour company. They contact you 24hrs before collection to make sure you're ready and ok. It's very important because was let down by a different company that didn't do this. A personal guide and a driver will collect you mine was Gamil who has great knowledge of Egypt's past and present. So much so that I noticed people in the museum would stare and listen closely as I did. You get a close look at the main pyramids and explanations you can take pictures and Gamil will take pictures of you. There's a camel ride near the pyramids plus a visit to a government stamped aroma shop and a government stamped Egyptian jewelry shop plus all of which are authentic. Both the driver and Gamil I found very professional, helpful and informative. I got good value for money but something greater knowledge of Egypt's rich past.

Today I just finished my tour with Mohamed Mahmoud (guide) and Mego (driver). I would Recommend this tour to anybody who is interested in seeing Egypt while on a long layover or even if you have a few days. Mohamed Mahmoud was waiting outside the airport as soon as my flight landed with a sign with my name incase i had trouble finding him. He collected immediately and we headed directly to the pyramid. I wasn’t ready yet, because I Just landed and didn’t have a chance to change. He made sure he took me someplace safe to change and get ready to take Tons of pictures! First we headed to the pyramids. Mego drove right up to Every destination as closest possible, while Mohamed walked me around the pyramids and told me so much information and answered any questions I had. After walking around the pyramid we drove up to a spot where you get a view of all 3 pyramids from a distance. This is also the spot where you get the Opportunity to ride a camel, which I 100% recommend. After the camel ride we drove to the Sphinx where your also able to shop for Souvenirs. We then headed to you perfume factory where you’re able to sample oils and perfumes native to Egypt while enjoying a traditional Egyptian beverage. After you go to a Papyrus Institute where you get to see how they made paper out of Papyrus plant to document the history thousands of years ago. Lastly on my tour we went to the Egyptian museum where Mohamed walked me around the whole museum and knew so much information about every artifact, followed by a traditional Egyptian dinner. That completed the 10 hour layover tour with let’s explore Egypt, but I wasn’t ready to leave yet so Mohamed took me to a market where you can get any Souvenir possible and to get coffee at restaurant where he left me to go to the “bathroom” and came back with a T-shirt and mug he got me as a gift. My experience was beyond what I was expecting. I never felt unsafe and I would recommend this tour to Anyone who wants to see Egypt, even if you don’t have much time in the country they make the most of every moment and captured amazing photos of me every step of the way literally!
