Highly recommend it very punctual, nice car, supper knowledgeable, and even great photographer, oh and great teacher! Thanks

Don’t miss Islamic Cairo

Essam’s knowledge of the history of Cairo - in this case Islamic Cairo - and his enthusiasm to share that knowledge made this a wonderful and highly recommended tour. I came back to Cairo to see and learn more about the city other than ancient Egypt and pyramids. And this tour was exactly what I hoped for. Plus I had my first taste of Egyptian koshari.
