Muhammad is simply the best guide in Cairo! His knowledge of the city's history is extraordinary—from the Virgin Mary's sacred journey to Egypt to the story of St. George's imprisonment and veneration. He took us to the historic church, mosque, and synagogue, bringing each site to life with fascinating details. We also explored the bustling bazaar and markets, where his insights made the experience truly immersive. Passionate, personable, and incredibly well-versed—Muhammad made our trip unforgettable. Book him—you won't regret it!
Our guide, Asmaa, enthusiastically, expertly, and humorously showed us the Citadel of Cairo, with its mosque (2), Coptic church, and synagogue. We also took a boat trip on the Nile and went shopping together in the old bazaar. She told us not only about the antiquities but also about daily life in Cairo and Giza. It was a full and varied day that went smoothly, with a delicious lunch! We highly recommend her.
We had a wonderful time in visiting the Coptic and Islamic sites in Cairo. Our tour guide Mohamed Mustafa did an excellent job showing us around. With his great attitude, knowledge in history and archeology, good command in English and communication skills, he was an excellent tour assistant for us. I strongly recommend him for anyone looking for tour help in Egypt.
This was the first tour we did with Mo (out of 3) and we were so impressed! Loved his passion and knowledge of history. He had the answers to our questions. Don’t miss this in Cairo! You will see more mummies than you’ve ever seen all together. Mo is consistently looking for the right opportunity to snap that perfect picture without too many crowds!
Good experience with Mo, who explained us the different cultures in the country, including ancient Egypt, greeks, romans, coptics and muslims. He explained us the history around each monument in downtown Cairo and answer very kindly all our questions. Shukran again!
Mo gave us a really interesting tour of Cairo, its History and he explained us how Egyptian culture has evolved from the begging to now. We had a beautiful half day, thank you !
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Helpful in answering all questions and doubts our group had. Also, an amazing photographer! Would definitely recommend him if you’re in Egypt and looking for a good professional guide!
