Notre excursion d'une journée a été incroyable du début à la fin. Ham et Muhammed sont venus nous chercher directement à l'aéroport, et nous avons visité tous les sites incontournables. Les moments forts pour nous ont été sans aucun doute les Pyramides et la balade à dos de chameau. Ils nous ont guidés tout au long de la journée en évitant les foules. La visite au magasin d'huiles était fascinante, grâce à ‘Gugu’, et la nourriture était délicieuse, avec un repas de cinq plats qui ne cessait d'arriver. Je recommande vivement cette visite privée, surtout avec la prise en charge à l'aéroport incl

抓住在開羅短暫停留期間與生命之樹旅遊公司的經歷,絕對是難忘的!從我們的導遊 Ashraf 在機場熱情的迎接,到在 Khan Khalili 市場的寧靜漫步,每一刻都留下了持久的印象。Ashraf 對於分享開羅古代遺址,包括清真寺和博物館的豐富歷史的專業知識,真正令人啟發。毫無疑問,當天的亮點是在金字塔旁的激動人心的駱駝騎行,提供了驚人的視角。在金字塔附近的一家酒店享用的午餐不僅美味,而且為下午的冒險完美地做好了準備。雖然時間限制意味著我們不能參觀所有計劃的停靠點,Nour 確保我們吸收了埃及的寶藏,使對獅身人面像的快速訪問顯得雄偉。對於任何考慮在開羅短暫停留的人來說,生命之樹旅遊公司以其個性化的方法和致力於創造難忘回憶的決心,是不二之選。我們的導遊 Nour 使體驗既有趣又富有教育意義。強烈推薦一次難忘且引人入勝的開羅之行。

We had a wonderful time! Very thorough communication with our guide and super easy pick up and drop off from the airport. We started early on Friday so there were very few people around. We felt a little rushed at the pyramids and only got to take pictures with the great pyramid. would have liked to spend a little more time wondering around or seeing the other ones. The camel rides were my kids favorite. They also offer a carriage ride if you’d prefer. The camels looked really healthy and well taken care of. We spent a large portion of the tour be taken to shops, oils, papyrus, jewelry. Tip: d

We were met at the airport by Nour our guide, which instantly made us feel welcome and at ease. We started off in the khan khalili market which was relatively quiet, we didn’t want to buy anything so Nour walked us past a few old buildings and mosques in the old city and gave us some history. We then went on to the museum, it was HUGE! We only spent a couple of hours there where Nour showed us the most important/interesting pieces and then we were given time to explore on our own. We then went for lunch in one of the hotels not far from the pyramids! Food was delicious and filling. You need to

This day trip was amazing right from the beginning. Nour and Muhammed picked us up from the airport and we did all the stops stated best for us was the Pyramids and the Camel ride. They both got us through the day with no hassle and without having to stop in crowds. Even the oil store we went to was very intuitive with ‘Gugu’. The food was very tasty too and a full 5 course food just kept coming. Definitely highly recommend this private tour with pick up from the airport.

This was an amazing day! What a great tour. I’m not that into doing the guided tour thing, but Mimo made it special and entirely worthwhile. Pyramids, the museum, the market—all of it was fabulous. And our driver “James Bond” was fast and safe. Highly recommended.
