Wonderful experience!

We had a fantastic city tour! Picked up on time from our hotel visited all the attractions and our tour guide Eissa was very knowledgable and fluent in english. We learned about the history of the places we visited (Heavenly Church, El Mustafa Mosque and Old Bazaar and the other Mosque in the area) and the history of Sharm El Sheikh. He was also helpful in the old bazaar with shopping, we had a smooth city tour with no problems and enjoyed a lot! I would highly recommend this tour for the visitors!

Very cute and interesting

Very pleasant hike with Azza who was really very good and kind. We visited the Al-Mustafa mosque and the Orthodox church and Azza gave us so much information. Then we moved to Old Sharm and had 2 hours to walk quietly.

Azza perfect Sharm guide

Our guide Azza was delightful: me, my fiancé and a couple of French tourists (father and son) visited all of Sharm, starting from the two mosques of Al Sahaba and Al-Mustafa and Heavenly Cathedral up to the Old Market. There Azza takes you to his friends to buy souvenirs and gifts: it's up to you whether you want to buy or not, nobody forces you. We took two perfumes, tea and tamarind. Cost as elsewhere, there are no exceptional discounts, as always you have to deal, it is part of the Old Market:) Of Old has only the name, let's be clear - all Sharm was built practically between the eighties and the 2000s so not to expect really ancient stuff is fundamental. In general what is worth doing is hearing the city told by Azza’s words, whether in Italian or English, they deserve anyway. Recommended!
