This tour was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend it! Out guide went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and show us around, even organising us an evening dinner cruise as we had no other plans. really highly recommended! Shokran habibi!
The guide Mimmo is very professional and prepared we visited the very beautiful mosque what disappointed us was the visit to the city of the dead where we saw practically nothing. We didn't even get out of the car. We only crossed the street we did not see nor where they live in the houses in the graves I think it was a real disappointment. The visit lasted 2.5 hours The guide to repair this disappointment accompanied us to the. Cairo Museum for 1 hour free .. He was very good and honest
Great experience, we visited the Ibn Tulun Mosque, the city of the dead, the mausoleum inside the latter and last thing visited the military tombs. Mimmo was really a great guide, very prepared and always available to answer any questions, recommended
Très bon guide, super connaissance des lieux, avec bonnes explications , la cité des morts peut etre évitée, chauffeur au petit soin, merci shadi.
Il prelievo è stato puntuale,Esat è un autista molto attento tra il caos del Cairo.Mimmo una guida molto esperta,parla benissimo italiano ed è anche molto simpatico. La mattina siamo andati alla città dei morti,esperienza toccante,siamo entrati dentro la "casa" di una famiglia e bevuto the con loro,raccontandomi come vivono. Dopo abbiamo proseguito per la moschea,molto bella. Essendo un tour particolarmente corto Mimmo ed Esat mi hanno accompagnata in un tipico bar del Cairo vecchio a prendere un caffè turco,abbiamo trascorso lì un'oretta chiaccherando delle differenze tra le nostre culture.
