Wow, what an incredible experience!

The tour was one of the best I had, truly incredible. ReemAnany was my tour guide and she was incredible knowledgeable, kind, answered all my questions and most importantly took all amazing pictures for me. We stopped along the way to take many pictures in scenery and she also brought me to try dates and Egyptian falafel. She also took me to best saheb sahib to try signature vegetarian meal with was delicious. She also brought me to spice store where I bought few things to take home. You must request her when booking I will never forget this experience. Also I wanna thank my driver Abdullah, he was so kind and always opened the door for me, brought me water and tissues. So so kind - i am very grateful for this experience.
