Highlights
  • Cairo Citadel - The Citadel of Cairo or Citadel of Saladin is a medieval Islamic-era fortification in Cairo, Egypt, built by Salah ad-Din (Saladin) and further developed by subsequent Egyptian rulers. It was the seat of government in Egypt and the residence of its rulers for nearly 700 years from the 13th to the 19th centuries. Its location on a promontory of the Mokattam hills near the center of Cairo commands a strategic position overlooking the city and dominating its skyline. At the time of its construction, it was among the most impressive and ambitious military fortification projects of its time. It is now a preserved historic site, including mosques and museums.

Private Tour Citadel - Theresa my guide was absolutely wonderful. I was a little nervous traveling as a solo female and having a guide completely put my mind at ease. I didn’t have to think about anything at all, I was picked up from my hotel and learned the history and had a fantastic experience. Would book again.

Highly recommended - We used Twitter Egypt Travel (liaising with Isaac) to arrange a private half-day tour of the Cairo Citadel after previously having excellent experiences with his VIP airport meet & greet and other private car-transfer services. All of these private tours can be done at whatever time you want. This was the first Twitter Egypt Travel tour we had done with an actual guide. Our guide was called Mario (we had also had another excellent driver on the previous days called Mario - they are 2 separate people. One only drives, the other is a tour guide but doesn't drive). Tour guide Mario was excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, spoke very good English, was very obliging, helped us take some cool photos, and accompanied us throughout the tour without being overbearing. He provided interesting information and also left us on our own to explore; the perfect balance. In the car on the way back, he also introduced us to some Egyptian music, playing all kinds of genres and artists on the trip back to Giza. Thank you Mario, the driver (I think his name was Hemy?) and Isaac for a wonderful half-day tour experience. The mosques at the Citadel were just stunning. Highly recommended.

Incredible Guide and Tour! - We had Mario and he was INCREDIBLE!!! I can’t praise him enough! He went above and beyond what a normal Private Guide would do and I’m forever grateful! Mario was knowledgeable and personable with us and made us feel so safe and welcome in Cairo! We even booked him for the rest of our trip!
