Thanks you sooooo much Nesreen (Nana) for giving us the most perfect day one in Egypt!
From the communication prior to our arrival, your friendly welcome when we met, your wonderful knowledge of Egyptian history and local life, we loved drinking it all in with you as our guide!
Nana went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect, we are so grateful for all the extra bits she arranged that made it just right for us, the transportation, the wee camel ride (photos we will treasure) and finding us endless toilet stops 😂
Anyone going to Cairo needs Nana... We were just fizzing after our tour!

The best way to visit Cairo!
Moustafa was truly the best guide I've ever had. He went above and beyond, starting with a phone call in which we discussed my interests and what I wanted to get out of the tour. He customized our say based on my interests, and confirmed our meeting point. While on the tour, he made himself available to answer any question I had - I am a curious person, I asked a lot, he didn't hesitate to answer. He's incredibly articulate, can get deep into the history (if you're interested), and share insights into how what society was like in different periods of time and how things have evolved to where we are today. He opened my eyes into seeing the world from a different perspective - I'm incredibly grateful. Safety was a top priority, he ensured I was safe and felt comfortable. He was always looking out for me as I negotiated in the market. I felt like I made a friend at the end of the tour.
I did this tour solo while my friends were working - They all regret not joining me. 10/10 would go on another tour with Moustafa when I return to Egypt.

Amazing knowledge and great food
Ramses has incredible knowledge of Cairo’s history and great perspective on life in the city today. It very quickly felt like we were being shown around by a friend. Stopped for Egyptian coffee and conversation before heading deep into the old city, wrapping up with a delicious lunch. Highly recommend.
