First things first!
Ali is The Tour Guide!! We also had the best driver in Egypt that we’ve had thus far - his name is Ahmed - that’s saying something too. If you have ever been here, you know these folks can drive!!
The Tour:
It started promptly. Ahmed was at the ready in front of our hotel before the given time. Off to Giza, Sakkara, and Memphis - we were with a stop at an amazing papyrus store along the way. This has been what seemed like an unobtainable dream of mine since I was a small child. This whole country seemed so foreign, so far far far away. When I saw the Pyramids of Giza for the first time, a huge smile erupted from my face. It’s happened once before in this fashion - so that shows how rare that is! Ali helped bring this dream to fruition. His in-depth knowledge was great. Plus, he knew all the right spots for the best pictures. We had time to stop for a lovely quick lunch and plenty of cold drinks along the way too.
Do yourself the favor go and see these treasures of the ancient world - and if you do - use Ali.
