Overview

In Cairo you’ll explore both the Coptic and Islamic quarters with a local expert guide. As you move through these historic neighbourhoods, you’ll see ancient churches and mosques, wander colourful local markets and hear stories that most tourists never hear. Along the way you’ll pass vibrant streets and small workshops where local artisans practise traditional crafts, and you’ll have the chance to meet some of them and take part in a cultural activity. Food is woven into the experience. You’ll enjoy authentic Egyptian food, with a home‑cooked lunch and tastes of iconic street food while you wander. To finish, you’ll unwind on a peaceful private Nile boat ride at sunset, watching the city from the water as the light changes. The tour blends history, flavours and culture to offer a quieter, more personal view of Cairo away from the crowds.
