Amazing time with Adel in Egypt

This tour was incredible as we got to see major sites and parts of Egyptian culture all in one day. It is a busy day but well worth it for the experiences we had. Adel, our tour guide did a wonderful job taking my friend and I around all the Egyptian sites. He communicated excellently and is extremely knowledgeable. The tour was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I will never forget. Adel was the cherry on top as he guided us through Cairo with our excellent private driver.
