My flight was to land at 5:30 AM at Cairo. Unfortuately, post booking, the details/ information was so so limited regarding the entire procedure of when to meet, where to meet, who to meet that we had just no clue of what to do and where to go. Unfortunately again, our flight got delayed. We landed at 7:30 AM and had just no clue to where to find, needless to say that we did not even expect some tour to start at 5:30 AM in the morning. Timing of the tour not mentioned, details so so very limited. Complete money gone in drain. We had to book another expensive tour from the Airport. I wish I could get some refund back considering this entire unfortunate event.

Ehab was wonderful! With his expertise, we got to see so much we wouldn’t have been able to get to on our own. Ehab was informative and his antidotes gave us a deeper insight into the places we visited. He brought the city to life for us! Wonderful day!

My plane was delayed but after I arrived at Cairo, I had no trouble to find my guide , Mahmoud Sultan, holding my name waiting for me since 4:30 am. I was traveling solo by myself, little scared about this trip. But end of the day, I had to say I had enjoyed every moment of it. Had Egyptian breakfast and tea, rode camel in front of Giza pyramids, climbed inside of the great pyramid, enjoyed in private sail boat on River of Nile, etc. Mahmoud always made sure I satisfied with everything I did, and took lot of memorable pictures for me. The drive , Karim Medo, didn't speak English, but with his amazing driving skill made my journey safe and fun in crazy congested traffic Cairo. It was perfect trip to complete my dream destination .
