From the Mendoza's: Mohammed was a fantastic tour guide! He has great communication skills, good spoken English language, very knowledgeable about of all the sights not only Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum but also general history/knowledge of Cairo and Egypt.

He even brought us to the ol

Don't go to the cafe near the Arabic center and bazaar area as you will sure be led into a tourist trap where a mere coffee or tea will cost you
