Excellent tour of the area
Bishoo was an excellent guide in terms of his knowledge of the history and features of Coptic Christianity in Cairo. His English was very good and his commentary was interesting

Cairo tour of religious sites
We went on a great tour of Cairo that included the Coptic Christian area of old Cairo and the largest mosque in Cairo. All of it was wonderful, largely due to our excellent tour guide, Doaa. She did an awesome job showing us the sites, explaining everything, and answering our questions. We learned so much! The oldest Christian in Africa was really cool to see. And the mosque was really beautiful. The mosque is a historic site and we were not required to wear any special clothes, we just had to remove our shoes or pay for little booties to wear over our shoes. The market was also on the tour, but we had already been there and were a bit nervous about the traffic possibly making us late for our flight, so we chose not to go to the market. Doaa told us that they would have dropped us at the airport if we had brought along our luggage. Good to know! We were required to pay for parking at the mosque, which we didn’t know ahead of time. It was a tiny amount and should have been covered by the money we paid for the tour as well as the cost of the shoe covers for entering the mosque. The tour was still worth it, but it’s not good to surprise customers with additional fees.

Good way to see some more of Cairo
Ahmed was very interesting and gave us a history lesson of every where we visited. Everything was very smooth and was a great way to see some more of Cairo before we left for the next leg of our trip. We only booked the afternoon before as we had some time before our flight, but all was good.
