excellent! - Our journey through Old Cairo was like stepping into a living history book. The narrow winding streets, stunning mosques, and the serene Coptic Christian churches provided a deep understanding of the city's diverse cultural heritage. And then there was Khan El Khalili Bazaar, a vibrant, bustling maze of shops and stalls where we could haggle for unique souvenirs, spices, and handmade crafts. The atmosphere was electric, and the aromas and colors were a sensory delight. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about sharing the stories and legends of this incredible city. Their insights made the experience all the more enriching. This tour was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone visiting Cairo. It's a perfect blend of history, culture, and the excitement of a bustling market. Truly, an amazing day that will forever be etched in my memory.

Great tour and great guide thank you! - My family and I had an amazing day tour in Cairo with Egypt Super Tours and our tour guide Hatem. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He showed us the highlights of the Egyptian Museum, where we saw the treasures of Tutankhamun, the mummies of the pharaohs, and many other fascinating artifacts. He also explained the history and culture of ancient Egypt in an engaging way. We then visited Old Cairo, where we explored the Coptic and Islamic heritage of the city. We saw the Hanging Church, the Ben Ezra Synagogue, the Amr Ibn Al-Aas Mosque, and the Citadel of Saladin. Hatem was very respectful of our beliefs and preferences, and he answered all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. Finally, we enjoyed some shopping and bargaining at the Khan El Khalili Bazaar, where we found a variety of souvenirs, handicrafts, spices, and perfumes. Hatem helped us to get the best deals and avoid any scams. He also recommended a nice place to have lunch, where we tasted some delicious Egyptian dishes.

Wonderful day with Ahmed! - I had a fantastic experience with them on their Day Tour: Egyptian Museum, Old Cairo and Khan El Khalili Bazaar .

Explore the Wonders of Ancient and Modern Cairo with Egypt Super Tours!! - I had a wonderful time with Egypt Super Tours on their day tour of the Egyptian Museum, Old Cairo and Khan El Khalili Bazaar in Cairo. The tour was well-organized, informative and fun. The tour started with a pick-up from my hotel by a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. The driver was friendly and professional, and he drove safely through the busy streets of Cairo. The guide, Ahmed, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture of Egypt. He spoke fluent English and answered all my questions with enthusiasm. The first stop was the Egyptian Museum, which houses the largest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts in the world. Ahmed guided me through the highlights of the museum, such as the treasures of Tutankhamun, the royal mummies, the animal mummies, and the statues of pharaohs and gods. He explained the stories and meanings behind each exhibit, and made them come alive with his vivid descriptions. I was amazed by the richness and diversity of the ancient Egyptian civilization, and I learned a lot from Ahmed’s expertise. The next stop was Old Cairo, which is a historic area that contains many religious monuments from different faiths. Ahmed showed me the Coptic churches, such as the Hanging Church and the Church of St. George, where I admired the beautiful architecture and paintings. He also took me to the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which is one of the oldest synagogues in Egypt. He told me about the history and significance of these places, and how they reflect the coexistence and tolerance of different religions in Egypt. The last stop was Khan El Khalili Bazaar, which is a famous market that dates back to the 14th century. Ahmed helped me navigate through the maze of narrow alleys and colorful shops, where I saw a variety of goods, such as souvenirs, spices, perfumes, jewelry, carpets, antiques, and more. He gave me tips on how to bargain and find the best deals, and he also introduced me to some local delicacies, such as koshary (a dish of rice, pasta, lentils, chickpeas, fried onions and tomato sauce) and kunafa (a sweet pastry with cheese and syrup). I enjoyed the lively atmosphere and the friendly interactions with the vendors and locals. The tour ended with a drop-off at my hotel by the same vehicle and driver. I thanked Ahmed for his excellent service and his wonderful company. He gave me a souvenir from Egypt Super Tours as a token of appreciation. I was very satisfied with the tour and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the best of Cairo in one day.
