开罗半日游：古老市场与本地集市

We enjoyed this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful as we navigated through the market. We ended the tour with Egyptian tea (our own expense) near the market. Recommended!

I expected more markets and nice place for lunch. I visited the bazaar for 1,5 hours max and had lunch in a fastfood restaurant. No value for the amount of money.

Zain was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and accommodating, and I really enjoyed the day. I learned a lot about the history of Cairo from Zain as we walked through the city, and visited several mosques, the markets, and shops that produced and sold Egyptian goods such as brass crafts, papyrus, and cotton products. We stopped for a refreshing cane drink, and lunch was tasty. In fact we ran over time, and our driver drove extra hard to get me back in time for another commitment. This was definitely the way to see Cairo for the first time traveling alone. Highly recommended.

Ahmed was AMAZING! He was so protective of us 3 women. When they tried to get over on me he stopped it and the other Egyptians we’re unhappy as though he should’ve been on their side. He would tell us when not to get something because of the quality vs just lining someone else’s pockets. The bazaar was huge and had the same thing everywhere. We also got an Egyptian staple which was Kushari, didn’t look appetizing, but definitely was. Was soooooo good!

I had a lovely, relaxing afternoon being guided around some of the local markets and souqs in Cairo with a terrific, enthusiastic guide, Mahmoud Afifi. It was a charming, informative afternoon during which he showed me the market area and what it was like prior to opening and then contrasted that quiet atmosphere with the hustle and bustle, vibrant, colorful atmosphere during peak selling period. It was a lot of fun and Mahmoud was super informative, prompt, courteous, friendly, and a good photographer too. While I took three of those pictures included in this review, he took one of me and it

I was truly disappointed in this excursion, as I wanted to go to the souk/market to do some shopping. I mostly got a lecture on Islam-I love learning about other cultures-but this was not what I paid for! I felt extremely rushed. I felt truly ripped off!
