A truly wonderful experience thanks to Dena our very knowledgeable tour guide. She is an awesone guide taking time to explain every thing about theCitadel, Mosque and the churches. We had already visited the Civilizaion museum as such Dena was accomodative enough to take us to theCairo tower and show us around . The Muhammwd Ali museum is beautiful. The hanging church is very special, and it was a good experience to see the Cave church .
