Sono un figlio di sesta generazione nato a Bokaap. La nostra comunità è discendente di schiavi ed esuli politici dall'estremo oriente. Come guida registrata a Città del Capo offro free walking tour nel citybowl e a Bokaap, condividendo la storia e la cultura delle nostre comunità con il mondo. Mi piacerebbe mostrarvi il nostro quartiere. Ho un forte legame con la comunità più ampia. Sono un direttore della Bokaap Tourism Association e un direttore del Bokaap Helpers Garden, un'organizzazione non governativa della città che si concentra sul giardinaggio comunitario. Ho una conoscenza approfondita di Robben Island, poiché ci ho vissuto per oltre 10 anni.
Ilyas is from Bokaap and this authenticity massively enriches the whole tour experience. We learned a lot about the history, culture and experience today of the Malay community that lives there. For example, his reason for why the buildings are painted their colours and how they are maintained is so simple, yet slightly different to those not from the area. Ilyas is a gentle soul with a great sense of humour - couldn’t recommend him and the tour enough.
Abbiamo fatto il tour con Muhammad, guida fantastica che con entusiasmo ci ha mostrato lo speciale quartiere di Bo Kaap! Consiglio vivamente questa esperienza
You will not be disappointed if you take a walking tour with Muhammad Ilyas around the Bo-kaap district. Everything about the tour was excellent, from the places we visited, the history and stories behind the Cape Malay people that Ilyas shared with us, to the people we met and food that we ate. Ilyas made sure that we were safe at all times and wanted us all to have an enjoyable couple of hours as we toured his neighbourhood and met his community. What are you waiting for? Book up now!
Great informative walking tour! We learnt so much
This tour was a very special one. It is impossible to explain in words. All I can tell is that we have learnt a lot and got very happy with all the exchange. Ilyas is such a nice person, presented us to diferent perspective which we would never know if only walk around Bo Kaap streets and the colorful houses without the tour. Thank you very much for this. You deserve the best.
