    We just wrapped up our cairo itinerary 5 days, and I can’t say enough about how amazing this trip was. Cairo is a treasure trove of history and culture, and this itinerary did justice to it all. Our guide, Ahmed, was fantastic – her passion for Egypt’s history was infectious. The visit to the Great Pyramid was a dream come true, and the sunset camel ride was a magical experience. The itinerary was well thought out, covering all the major attractions and even some hidden gems. This trip left our family with memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

    My solo trip to Cairo was a fantastic experience! This 5-day itinerary was well-organized and allowed me to explore the city’s iconic landmarks. The Pyramids of Giza were the highlight, and our guide, Mustafa, provided a wealth of historical knowledge. The Nile cruise was a peaceful interlude, and shopping at Khan el-Khalili was a delight. I felt safe and well-cared for throughout the journey. Cairo, you stole my heart!
