In den 2 Tagen alles wichtige und Sehenswertes erlebt. Auch wenn wir erst einen deutschsprachigen Guide gebucht hatten und dieser wegen Krankheit ausgefallen ist hatten wir mit Memo einen super Guide der auch in top Englisch langsam erklärt sodass wir alles verstanden haben! Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall

We had a fantastic 2 days full private tour all inclusive with our Tour Guide, Nour, and our Dedicated Driver - Emad. This was our first time in Egypt, and the whole journey for the 2 days was packed with fun and enjoyable sightseeing. Nour is an expert in Egypt history and he makes our visit so interesting. His excellent storytelling abilities of all the historical sites make it all worth it. We enjoyed the local food lunch and are grateful for all the arrangements! Thanks for such a wonderful experience! We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt!

Abbiamo fatto il tour di 2 giorni a Giza e al Cairo assieme alla guida italiana Mimmo. Ci ha fatto vedere tutti i luoghi scritti nel programma e abbiamo potuto aggiungere degli extra a nostra scelta. Conosce molto bene tutti i luoghi. Molto bravo e simpatico anche l'autista.

The best tour to visit the key highlights in Cairo for 2 days. It's a private tour so me and my partner had the driver and our fabulous tour guide for ourselves! Phoebe was fantastic, always accommodating us, protecting us from scams and making sure we were comfortable (and hydrated!). She was basically one of the highlights in Cairo. The first day we went to the pyramids complex and had lunch with a view. I really appreciated that this tour included also Saqqara and Memphis. I've got the best pictures of Egypt from this day (and we were around for 2 weeks!) The second day we visited Old Cairo

ATTENZIONE, Ci sono molte guide che si chiamano Hamada. Il nostro vive a Baharya. E' nato a Baharya ed ha un'esperienza di trenta anni. Conosce il deserto in tutte le sue pieghe e vi porterà a scoprire visuali nascoste. Hamada dà sicurezza e ispira fiducia. Parla e scrive correttamente in Inglese. Non solo è esperto ma capisce i vostri desideri e vi accontenta. Se volete far una foto si ferma pazientemente. Inoltre è veloce e pratico. Prepara il campo in località panoramiche lontano da altri accampamenti. Noi abbiamo pranzato su un'altura, solo noi nell'infinito Email: bahariyaexp@hotmail.com
