“Two days was absolutely the right choice. Day one at the GEM and Pyramids was overwhelming – we needed the overnight stay just to process it all. Day two in Old Cairo and the Citadel was a completely different experience. Our guide was exceptional on both days. Worth every euro.”

“The Alabaster Mosque of Mohammed Ali is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. And Khan el-Khalili at the end of day two was the perfect finish – authentic, colourful and full of life. No shopping pressure, just a brilliant guide and two unforgettable days.”
