Yasmine is so kind and friendly and she is very knowledgable about the history and culture of egypt. Learnt a lot from her. She is so helpful as well and made sure I am safe and okay being a solo traveller. Loved my trip with her.

We had a great time with Abdu! He was a great storyteller and is very knowledgeable about the area and Islam. He's very friendly and speaks excellent English. We really enjoyed the tour!

This tour was excellent! It provided a deep dive into Islamic Cairo, exploring the rich history and stunning architecture of sites like the Sultan Kalawoon and Sultan Barkook mosques. Abdelbaset is lovely and incredibly knowledgeable and brought the Old City's culture to life. I learned about Islamic practices and values, including how Muslims pray and the five pillars of Islam. A must-do for anyone wanting to experience the heart of Cairo! It's an amazing tour.

Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide! Each location had history and stories that brought the sights to life and made for very interesting dialogue as well!
Highly recommend!

Abdel was a great guide and we really enjoyed our tour of Old Cairo through Mosques, markets and mausoleums. He was able to bring the buildings alive and told great stories for the kids. Tell Abdel what interests you and he will make the tour bespoke. Highly recommend.
