My trip to Cairo was a last-minute decision, and it was the best I've made in a long time. I'm super thankful for my guide, Zenab, who gave me an incredible experience. Despite being jet-lagged, I had a fantastic time. Zenab took her time teaching me the history of every site we visited and became a great friend. I’d recommend Zenab to anyone touring Cairo—she's incredibly knowledgeable about Egypt. We covered in 2 days what most people do in a week. Nothing felt rushed, I always felt safe, and the itinerary was flexible. Plus, Zenab took some incredible photos of me. My travels with Zenab inspired me, and I can't wait to return.

During our inaugural trip to the captivating lands of Egypt, we ventured on a private tour on our second day—a decision that would soon prove unforgettable. Our itinerary unfolded with the iconic spectacles of the Giza Pyramids. This enthralling camel ride undoubtedly ranked as the pinnacle of our experiences, as did a visit to the museum that houses millennia of history. Egypt is a treasure trove of history, and seeing it firsthand is truly impressive. However, the depth of such a visit is significantly enriched by the presence of a knowledgeable and passionate guide. We were exceedingly fortunate to have Ashraf accompany us. His exceptional guidance, peppered with insightful personal anecdotes about Egypt's heritage, elevated our experience beyond the mere visual wonders.

Cairo, the pulsating heart of Egypt, is a treasure trove of ancient history and vibrant culture. I recently had the chance to experience a slice of this bustling metropolis and its offerings firsthand. Allow me to share with you the two facets of Cairo that made an indelible mark on my traveler's spirit: the iconic Cairo Tower and the delightful experience of eating Koshary. Cairo Tower – Reaching for the Skies Cairo tower or "Borg Al-Qāhirah," as the locals refer to it, is undeniably a modern symbol of Egypt's capital. Standing tall at 187 meters, it extends an open invitation to gaze upon the city from its vantage point. The architecture is impressive, with its lattice tube resembling a lotus plant, and is a testament to the Egyptian ingenuity blending the ancient with the contemporary. The View: The panoramic vista from the observation deck was absolutely breathtaking. The sprawling city stretched below me with infinite narratives in every direction. The Nile curved gracefully as the afternoon sun bathed everything in golden hues. One can spend hours spotting historic landmarks, and feeling the heartbeat of this city from the sky, truly embodies the essence of Cairo. The Experience: Ascending Cairo Tower was reminiscent of the city itself – a blend of chaos and beauty. The ride up the elevator was swift, and the bustling atmosphere at the observation deck added to the excitement. I found the best time to visit was just before sunset. Watching the city transition from day to night was a magical experience that can't be put into words. Koshary – A Culinary Revelation From the heights of Cairo Tower, I descended into the streets to indulge in a dish that is intrinsically Egyptian. Koshary, a comfort dish, is the epitome of street food that captures the spirit of Cairo. The Dish: Koshary is a harmonious mix of carbohydrates and textures. Lentils, rice, pasta, and chickpeas are the hearty base, topped with crispy fried onions and drowned in a zesty tomato sauce with a dash of garlic vinegar that provides an explosion of flavors. It's a staple that's both filling and affordable, providing fuel for the day-to-day Egyptian. The Experience: The experience of eating Koshary in a crowded local joint added an authentic touch. The cacophony of the cooks preparing dish after dish and the lively chatter of the diners created an ambiance full of energy. Each bite of Koshary was a delightful blend of different flavors and textures, making it instantly clear why this dish is so beloved in Cairo. It was not just a meal; it was a culinary adventure. Conclusion To the traveler seeking experiences that touch the soul, Cairo offers these in abundance. The Cairo Tower's enchanting views coupled with the bustling area surrounding it and the sheer delight of tucking into a plate of Koshary in an energetic local spot are experiences I recommend to anyone visiting Cairo. These two icons, one towering above the city and the other nestled within the labyrinth of its streets, are testimonials to the city's ability to offer nourishment for the eyes and the stomach alike.

India...this warm country with kind hearted people A lot of cultural sightseeing It's really a place where you can find your inner peace

I wouldn’t recommend this day trip. For a start, it involves 6 hours of driving (3 hrs each way) and many of the items seen were not even local— were relics relocated to Alexandria from Luxor. As well, our guide Yasser didn’t seem to know much about Alexandria so the day was a bit empty and tedious. Yasser was more enthusiastic about haranguing vacationing Egyptian girls and saying hello to everyone he knew in Alexandria. Not recommended!

Our guide was Zenab, she was very knowledgeable with excellent English. The tour has set locations but Zenab was very flexible with the time taken at each location to make sure we enjoyed our time and had a great experience, which we did. She explained any additional entry costs and how to deal with local touts. A very good tour, it was private for me and my son on a modern mini bus a great day out.
