Great fun

My guides, Hamada and Foly, were great fun. Pick up was right on time; they ensured I got a close seat and the show and the atmosphere were outstanding (but loud!) - they even kept me company through the show. A unique experience which I thoroughly recommend.

Traditional music and dance show in historic venue

This was easily the highlight of our tour. Great pick up and drop off provided by guide Hamada and driver Hamza. Seamless entry to the beautiful lit open-air location, and mind blowing Sufi dance show. It was a beautiful evening and we felt well taken care off and safe in the hustle and hustle of central Cairo. Thank you, highly recommended

10/10 experience!

Had a lovely experience watching the show - a true highlight of the trip. EMO travels was very prompt and messaged me via WhatsApp immediately and were very communicative. We had a pick up and guide throughout the show! Overall 10/10 experience.

Horrible!

No one picked us up at the meeting point, and the show turned out to be cancelled. The app sent nonsensical messages and tried to sell us a dinner instead.

Once in a lifetime experience

Absolutely a unique and incredible experience. Don't miss out on this option. I went with four friends from NYC and it was a highlight of our trip. The performance is fantastic and a reminder of the rich depth of enduring culture that is Egypt.
