Hello travelers! I'm Mo Swefy, founder of Cairo Trips, and guru of Cairo :). Actually, all my team are Gurus of Cairo and we speak several languages fluently. We're fun guys and we consider ourselves kind to people and we love meeting and talking with people from other countries. We've traveled through thousands of places in Cairo therefore We know Cairo inside out like the back of our hand. We love everything that has to do with our city and we consider ourselves 100% Cairenes :) "So this is our story: Cairo is our home, and we love this land that gave and taught us so much. Cairo is a microcosm, it's more than just the pyramids and Museums. That's why we decided to build these tours to show you the hidden treasures of this Cosmopolitan city. Especially Islamic Cairo because it is completely underrated and during our tours, you will discover the beauty of our city. All we want is that travelers will leave Cairo with the feeling of having been in a beautiful and safe city full of life" --- and last but least leave good online reviews for us to keep us going :D Warm regards, Cairo Trips A group of dedicated guides

Highlights

What will we see on this tour?

Meeting point:

Fontaine du parc Al-Azhar, الازهر- طريق، Salah Salem St, El-Darb El-Ahmar, Cairo Governorate 4294010, Egypt

You can take a taxi or Uber or walk to Al Azhar Park and there you will find the fountain. I'll be waiting there at the fountain. Please avoid anyone who approaches you on the street. They are disguised guides or shop owners who intend to sell you something in their shops, so to save time continue on your way to the meeting point without having to ask anyone about the location. Just follow the location on the map and I will meet you there, at the fountain in the park. It is not necessary to ask for help from anyone on the street because sometimes some people expect payments for help. Stay safe and cool. Have fun. *Notice: - Avoid street friends or strangers who approach you and try to help you and pretend they don't want money. "Sketchy Types" - stay hydrated - Wear comfortable shoes - use sunscreen - Avoid short skirts/shorts - Avoid tank tops - For ladies, please wear loose-fitting clothing and headscarves because we will enter sacred places on this tour , such as mosques and churches. . Thank you.
