This was really fun! Bishoo was an excellent guide-he worked hard to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. We were here on 24 hour layover and this was just perfect. Camels were fun, papyrus museum was very interesting, and we enjoyed learning about spices and essential oils. Excellent!

DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. It’s not 2 hours as advertised it’s more like 40 min so it’s definitely not worth that much. If you want to do the camel ride book a Uber and go direct outside the gates and you can book via one of the many people offering rides and it will cost you a third of the price. SCAM avoid

We thought we were riding the camels in the grounds of the pyramids - but you do not. In fact the day before, there were a few red flags which became very obvious after our tour. First of all, we booked a sunrise tour - I received a message the day before saying we would be picked up at 7am instead of 5am and when I queried this, the reply was 'the police say it isn't safe' - so we took the advice and went at the agreed time - confused at this message but also disappointed at not getting to do this at sunrise as advertised and paid for. Our tour guide (lovely man) took us to a side street for

This experience was great and much longer than the 2 hours that was advertised! Camel ride was terrific. Assem couldn't have been more accommodating. We stopped for falafel lunch at a local kiosk and he took us shopping at some interesting places. Almost canceled due to some issues that arose with our reservation that we, thankfully, were able to resolve. So glad we didn't! Thoroughly enjoyed the day!!!
