First of all, the driver and car service was excellent. The guide was nice and she did her best to answer our questions.

It'd be much more better to c

Enjoyed seeing the beautiful mosques and more modest Christian churches and the synagogue. Our guide provided so much information we leaned much about the religious history of Cairo.
