We spent a great half day touring the major mosques and Islamic sites of Cairo. Muhammad, with great knowledge, being a Muslim himself and an ex-librarian with great language skills (Japanese among others), gave us all the info we could have wanted. He thus immersed us in the history and rites of the Islamic Egyptian culture and religion with great patience, a fine feeling for our rhythm of experiencing the sites, in a joyful friendly manner. We felt very safe and well taken care of during our visit. The driver was great, too, very skillfully navigating the exhausting Cairo rush- hour traffic.
Our tour guide Iman was terrible. Her English was very limited and we could barely understand her. She also didn't seem to know much about the history of the most important mosques in Cairo. She even had the nerve to ask for MORE tip even though I gave her $100 EGP. Would definitely not recommend unless you have a different tour guide. We were very disappointed.
Mohamed was an exceptional guide in Egypt. His deep knowledge of Egyptian islamic history and culture enriched our experience at every site we visited. He was courteous, professional, and went out of his way to ensure we had a memorable trip. Mohamed's passion for sharing the wonders of his country and religion made our journey truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!
