Spiritual tour for us. Our tour guide explained and answered all of our questions and gave us time to observe and pray.
This is a very good presentation of Coptic Cairo led by a enthusiastic tour guide and Egyptologist, fair amount of walking and sights included.Highly commendable! Fascinating sights and well presented!
First off, Abdu was an amazing tour guide. He spoke English very well, patiently answered our many questions, and was so informative about each site he took us to visit. He has a lot of passion about the history, which made the tour feel even more special. We were never pressured to visit specific shops, which was a relief. Highly recommend you book this tour and, if possible, ask for Abdu!
Cave Church was amazing and so was the entire complex associated with it. The adjacent garbage city neighborhood was also something to see.
