Our guide Mohamed and his driver picked us up at our Giza hotel and took us to see the main 'downtown' Cairo attractions. It was complicated because a) it was the Muslim holy day (Friday) and also b) Ramadan, where people fast all day. So the tour was a bit rushed, but it had to be that way, and we felt we missed nothing really. An excellent guide with good English and we learned a lot from him on the trip. Highly recommended
