The guide Khalaf was superb. Knowledgeable and considerate and patient and kind. He made the trip. The sites speak for themselves in terms of magnificence, however Khalaf made everything so much more fascinating.

Amazing tour with Asmaa our guide of the ancient mosques displaying handmade details to the decor. At the bazaar Asmaa was able to barter our purchases with patience in finding what we were looking for. Thank you. Lunch was a wide range of foods as a buffet. Drinks were not included with our lunch. A great historical insight on this tour.

The beautiful Islamic architect is well worth seeing, there is much detail laiden within the high domes and Islamic caligraphy. Our guide Asma took us through the emergence and establishment of the Muslim world in Egypt. She possessed a wealth of knowledge and was able to respond to the many questions that we had. The whole experience was enlightening especially for an Islamic art enthusiast.
