Solo trip to Cairo
Went solo to Cairo, pick up time at 1.40, they were slightly earlier so was a bonus. Once we arrived Ibrahim Hamed was our guide, he was fantastic though out explaining everything and taking pictures of the group. Highly recommend.

Amazing.
The day was amazing and very well organized. Everything was even better when we met our guide who accompanied us all day. She was super amazing, a woman with a lot of wealth and history, we are happy to have come across her. Named Heba who was like a big sister to us and of importance to us. She was the best without her. It wouldn't have happened that way. A big thank you to her!!
