Fantastic tour guide

On our tour in Cairo our guide was Ahmed Hassan. He showed the Old egyptien Museum and was very friendly and informative. He was good at highlighting the most important aspects of Egyptian history. We also had a great time at the pyramids and the great sfinx. He gave us good information about the history of the pyramids and was also a very good fotografer. We can highly recommend him to you.
