Alexandria Tour - Sherif was very knowledgeable and made our tour of Alexandria so amazing! He treated us very kindly and he went out of his way to find a place for my husband to exchange US dollars to Egyptian Pounds. He also found a place that sold canes/walking sticks and got me one which helped me very much! My foot was hurting and he was very patient. Sherif also took us to eat authentic Egyptian seafood at a local vendor and ordered everything for us. It was delicious! Thank you so much! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Sherif and our driver, I’m sorry but I forgot his name. He was excellent, 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ also! We had a tire blow out and he handled the car very well. He got us safely to the auto shop and had us back on the road in minutes.
