Old Cairo Tickets and Tours

Day tour to Islamic and Coptic Cairo

Knowledgeable, kind and exceptional — the perfect Cairo guide and perfect Cairo tour!

I had an amazing time with Bibo in Cairo, who I met through another tour guide that I had encountered in luxor. From the beginning, Bibo was warm, professional and incredibly easy to communicate with. He coordinated my airport pick-up smoothly despite unpredictable EgyptAir timings (!!), helped me navigate Cairo logistics, and made everything feel calm and well organised. I really appreciated that he was right there the moment I landed in Cairo's chaotic airport. He was also very patient with me despite my travel exhaustion and alarm-related chaos, which I appreciated enormously. As a solo female traveller, I also really appreciated how comfortable and safe Bibo made me feel. I know Cairo can sometimes have a difficult reputation among travellers, but because of Bibo, I left with only the best impression of the city. He showed me a Cairo that was fascinating, warm, layered and full of history. Although we were mainly doing Coptic Cairo, Bibo knew so many amazing things about Cairo and Egypt more broadly. Once he realised that my previous Cairo experience had been disappointing, he very kindly sat down with me and gave me a brilliant supplementary introduction to Egyptian history — including the pyramids, the sale and movement of Egyptian artefacts, and other fascinating parts of Egypt’s past. He also introduced me to amazing bread from Cairo's most famous synagogue and taught me so much about Egyptian Jews, a rare and often overlooked part of the country’s history. It was generous, thoughtful and exactly the sort of thing that makes a guide truly exceptional. As a guide, Bibo is excellent. He is deeply knowledgeable without being dry, friendly without being intrusive, and very generous in the way he shares the history and culture of the city. I learnt so much from him in a short time, and he made Cairo feel vivid, layered and alive. I also discovered afterwards through the son of a good Egyptian friend that he regularly guides AUC Egyptology students (AUC being Egypt's literal best university!), which did not surprise me at all — he clearly knows his subject deeply and is trusted by people and universities who take Egyptian history seriously. Most importantly, Bibo is a genuinely kind and lovely person. I felt very lucky to have met him, and I left Cairo feeling that I had not only seen the city, but properly understood more of it because of him. Thank you, Bibo, for such a wonderful time in Cairo. I hope we meet again in Egypt one day — and please send my warmest wishes to your wife. Claire

Overnight Trip to Cairo from Alexandria Port

Emo Egypt driver and guide were very knowledgeable and accommodating. Friendly and welcoming.

Emo egypt greeted us as we got off ship, and directed us to our driver. Driver and guide were very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Alexandria and Cairo traffic is absolutely crazy so be prepared for longer car ride than expected.

Food-Tour at Traditional Restaurant to Taste the Egyptian Kitchen

Good New Food Option for Maryville,TN - worth the effort for fresh made healthy Egyptian

We were looking to eat something different and enjoy diverse foods. So we tried Egyptian Tastes. We ordered stuffed grape leaves, which were a side dish and small, chicken kabobs on salad, and bechamel. The kabobs were delicious and familiar to anyone who enjoys Greek or middle Eastern food. They also were available in Lamb. We also ordered bechamel, which was very flavorful, interesting somewhat sweet in flavor and eaten totally by our 15 year old! We also ordered the lemonade which was green in color and tasty- not the lemonade taste you expect. There was also dessert but we were satisfied and didn’t order any. The food was very fresh and healthy. I was glad to have an option that was different from so many others. Didn’t seem like fast food. Overall I was very pleased with the experience and food. They are located in what was ChikFil A- so further down from the rest of the food court. We will go back again!
