What a way to start our first day of our Egypt holiday! We booked this tour the evening before. The tour guide laised with us via WhatsApp, letting us know the logistics arrangement. Driver picked us right on time and our tour guide joined us closer to the museum. On way to the museum, tour guide explained the way of life for Egyptians.
Tour guide, Mohamed Mido is very knowledgeable, with many years of study under his belt. He explained the key exhibits with passion and the level of details continue to astound me. It's the right perfect balance of guidance and.. free time for us to feel the history and know the rich details. That's very important to us.
What amaze me is Mohamed Mido show us the Egyptian hospitality by being warm hearted and genuinely taking care of us by ensuring we have everything. When we asked where can we find some take-out food, he went all the way to find an excellent local place, insisted to pay. This happened for water as well. When seeing me juggle with carrying winter jacket which affects my enjoyment of the musemum, he offered to carry them. His graciousness comes from his heart - I can see it.
Thank you for your hospitality. He went way beyond what is included in this tour. From extending more time to us, to little acts of hospitality.
