5.00Brilliant day tour for seeing the Great Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum. Tour guide Rasha Yehia Mubarak was a gem, providing great commentary that enriched the visual spectacle of monuments and artefacts. Options to explore shopping along the trail were also made available, including for high quality ceramics and stone goods, Egyptian cotton clothing, herbal teas and cooking spices, and perfume essential oils. Probably the best tour I have ever done.
Knowledgeable guide with a kind heart

5.00Mahmoud Fawzy and the driver were incredible. His depth of knowledge was encyclopedic at both the Pyramids and the GEM. I had been to Pyramids a few times over the last 30 years, but this was the best experience. We had an air conditioned car and lots of bottled water available. We took a ton of photos and Mahmoud was understanding to my needs and wants. He carried my backpack at the Pyramids and my purse at the GEM. He let me engage in my random tangents. I stopped to photograph the local baladi dogs at the Pyramids. With my limited Arabic, I made small talk with some young Egyptian girls and he took a picture of me with them and their family. At lunch I got distracted by a cute kitten and he gave her a little of his food. I might have snuck her some fries. Vegetarian options were available- yay. At the end of the tour he grabbed me an ice cream cone and another cold bottle of water. It was about 99 degrees outside- and I appreciated his kindness. If you are interested in learning more about ancient Egypt, Mahmoud Fawzy is the best guide, super knowledgeable and with kind heart.
