An incredible experience! As a solo traveler, I was hesitant at first, but the tour made me feel included and safe throughout. The Pyramids were awe-inspiring, and our guide, Fatima, was fantastic. The Museum provided a deep dive into Egypt’s rich history, and exploring Khan El Khalili was an adventure in itself. Definitely a highlight of my trip

We just decided to book the Cairo Stopover Tour to Pyramids, Museum, and Khan El Khalili, and it turned out to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all of us. Our guide was extremely thoughtful and well-informed from the moment we stepped off the plane at the airport to the moment we said our goodbyes. He showed us all the top attractions in Cairo, such as the Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, and the Khan El Khalili Bazaar. Exploring the lively bazaar was a lot of fun, and we gained a lot of knowledge about Egyptian history and culture in the process. If you’re looking for a trip that will give you a well-rounded and entertaining glimpse into Cairo, I can’t think of a better option than this one.

Khan El Khalili was a bustling marketplace, and I enjoyed haggling for souvenirs. The guide was friendly and informative, making it a memorable experience.
