We had a wonderful day in Cairo with Mido. After picking us up from the airport we went straight to the pyramids and Sphinx. Mido made it so interesting and educational with his wealth of knowledge (he’s also a certified archaeologist). We also visited the National Museum of Egyptian Civilizations which has all the mummies on display, and the Egyptian Museum where our main focus was Tutankhamen. Again, Mido’s knowledge and insights really enhanced the experience. He also took us to a herbal/aromatherapy place which was a bit of a waste of time, and we skipped the papyrus place which we said we weren’t particularly interested in. It would’ve been nice to see a bit more of the historical sights in the old city and perhaps the markets, but unfortunately we only had the day in Cairo and getting around takes up a lot of time as the traffic is insane. Mido really made the day memorable and went out of his way to ensure that he gave us a wonderful experience. Thanks Mido !!
