Essam’s knowledge of the history of Cairo - in this case Islamic Cairo - and his enthusiasm to share that knowledge made this a wonderful and highly recommended tour. I came back to Cairo to see and learn more about the city other than ancient Egypt and pyramids. And this tour was exactly what I hoped for. Plus I had my first taste of Egyptian koshari.

Excellent visit in the company of Karim, a top notch guide. He answered all our questions, taught us everything important and let us take our time. I recommend +++.

Tour molto interessante per visitare le Moschee del Cairo con guida parlante in lingua italiana. Il Bazar mi ha deluso avendo visitato altri Bazar altrettanto famosi come quello di Istanbul o quello del Qatar o quello dell'Oman...

Ottimo tour per scoprire la Cairo Islamica, la Cittadella e le principali moschee, oltre al mercato, accompagnato dalla guida Mohamed Moussaa che consigliamo a tutti! Buono anche il pranzo a buffet.

O Guia não nos proporcionou uma boa experiência nesse roteiro, apesar de as mesquitas serem muito bonitas. A todo tempo nos dizia para seguir em frente, não deixando apreciar os locais e dando pouquíssimo tempo para tirarmos fotos (parece que estava com pressa de ir embora). No final do roteiro, viu que estávamos insatisfeitos e também que a visitação acabaria bem antes do horário previsto para o passeio e daí começou a pedir pra gente tirar fotos dos locais, porém as principais visitações que eram na Citadela e Sultan Hassan Mosque já haviam passado. Uma pena pois tinha tudo para ser um dia m
