Sarwat such a great guide for Cairo
Sarwat was an incredible guide, great fun, knowledge, very enthusiastic and funny. We really enjoyed the trip and got to see all the pyramids from different angles.
Long trip, but a nice experience
Long journey on somewhat bad roads, in a small minibus. Poor conditions to get to sleep along the way. Our guide Sharif was nice, knowledgeable and skillful. The Pyramids were the absolute highlight, and the Great Egyptian Museum was also nice. Moderate lunch on a typical tourist trap. The tour also included a "mandatory" visit to a perfume/duff oil factory and a sale point for papyrus art, but without any buying pressure.
