It has 120,000 items, on display and in storerooms. Your Egyptologist guide will offer history and perspective far beyond simply viewing items on display.
Coptic Cairo - Coptic Cairo is believed to be the area where the Holy Family visited and stayed, and the fortress of Christianity until Islamic rule. It is one of the most historic and beautiful spots in the heart of old Cairo. With some buildings going back to the 6th century BC, and so much history and beauty, it is the highlight of Old Cairo. You will enjoy your walk through the streets of the old city with your knowledgeable guide.
Islamic Cairo - Islamic Cairo is the historic core of the city, built before the European architecture of Downtown that fills the center of modern Cairo.

Egypt Tour 2024 - Without doubt one of the favourite city in Africa ( EGYPT ) Upon arrival on Sphinx Airport we were warmly welcomed Mr. Osama. He was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. We had four great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience. Mr. Osama had such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking around Cairo along with their company. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The Pyramid of Giza was an incredible tourist spot i have ever seen plus the atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to me. All respect for Mr. Osama who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend Mr. Osama Thanks Osama for your hospitality! Will see you again soon.

Cairo November 2023 Pyramids and boat tour - We had a day trip to the pyramids in Gizeh a papyrus museum, Saqqara and went for a tour with a Felucke boat in the afternoon. Our guide Asmaa taught us a lot of facts about the ancient Egypt. She has a huge detailed knowledge about all the history, which was super interesting. The tour was very well planned and organised, including lunch. Therefore we could get out as much as possible of the one-day trip. We were picked up at eight at the hotel and we’re back at about 5:30 pm.

9 hours of unforgettable impressions! - Outstanding day trip visiting the pyramides of Gizeh and Saqqara, Papyrus manufactory and thereafter a traditional lunch for recharging our body. Finally, a relaxing sunset boat trip with a felucca on the river Nile made this trip perfect . Asmaa, our guide, has an impressive knowldege about the ancient time. It's a pleasure listen to her and trying to dive into history. Our driver was co-operative and get us safely from A to B. Thank you very much for 9 hours of unforgettable impressions!

Cairo Personal Tours with the family!!! - This is our 2nd time in Cairo for tourism, but this time we had an additional child and our parents accompanying us. So this time we decided to look into maybe getting private tours to streamline our visit, since there were six of us. Our personal guide Osama was referred to us by a friend who used his services maybe a month before us. Well let me tell you that this was the best decision we made during this stay. Not only was it economical, he a his staff were punctual and very accommodating during our tours. Osama is a devout Muslim man, and knowledgeable of Egyptian, Coptic and Islamic history. Also, he is a great photographer, he have numerous pics that will last a lifetime. Overall I can recommend his services, as I myself will use them again when we return next year to visit Luxor.
