Itinerary
Because it is more than 130 years old, one of the largest in the world, measuring 120 acres and including numerous old trees and animals. The Giza zoo was created by khedive Abbas II Hilmi Bey (also known as Abbas Hilmi Pasha), but his father, Khedive Muhammed Tewfik Pasha, came up with the concept. The Giza zoo is still the most popular tourist attraction among Egyptians, with hundreds of school children visiting every day from outside the city, and schools in Cairo organizing weekly visits to the zoo. Animals, birds, and reptiles of all types are popular among visitors.

Traveler reviews
Perfect way to see Cairo with a lady.
Mohamed Hamed made this trip perfect for us. I brought a woman who wanted to see real culture but also live comfortably. I felt safe with our guide as he took us shopping in the real streets of Cairo where locals shop. We ate quality street food, watched people make papyrus paper by hand and hand make jewelry with hieroglyphics. We had dinner and a show on a boat rolling down the Nile. I spent my higher dollars on the hotel to be comfortable with AC and have good showers. I feel I barely spent anything under the care of Mohamed Hamed, he made sure we were never overcharged, even from him. Trustworthy, Intelligent & the perfect choice to guide and drive us. I fully recommend EMO Tours Egypt and I especially encourage you to request Mohamed Hamed.
Amazing
We did this half day trip with Mohamed Hamed and Ahmed Hamdy and it was amazing!! We got in the car and they had snacks and drinks provided for us, we went right to the pyramids and got to hear the history of them and ride a camel!! These tour guides were amazing and we totally recommend!!!
A memorable tour with Ehab hoba
We have a great tour today with Ehab Hoba from emo tours visiting the Egyptian museum. Old Cairo and khan elkhalili bazar it was a great tour full of fun . He is very knowledgeable and friendly he told us all the details that we need . Repeat all of our questions. The tour was super we highly recommend emo tours and Ehab to all of our friends
Great Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum and Nile boat ride
Nice Historical Place to visit (Pyramid n Sphinx). Reasonable entrance fees but quite expensive for inside of the Pyramid. Egyptian Museum- In process of moving to new Museum therefore some Artifacts have been moved to new museum. Information by Museum tour guides. But the main attraction was there such as Mummy. Tourist can see two new Mummy at the main hall. No need to purchase tickets to mummies room which quite expensive.
Great tour with Ehab Wageh!
My husband and I had a great tour over two days with Ehab. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about the Egyptian culture. We loved seeing the pyramids and the mummy room in the Egyptian museum was incredible! He took great photos of us and we really enjoyed our lunch the first day. We would strongly recommend Ehab and Emo tours for anyone coming to visit Egypt!
