This is the Cairo that is not pharaonic, and for a lot of travellers it turns out to be the day they remember. Coptic Cairo is compact and quiet. Islamic Cairo is neither, and that is the point. There is a fair amount of walking on uneven ground, and several sites require shoulders and knees covered.
We start in Coptic Cairo at 09:00 while it is cool and quiet, drive north to Ibn Tulun for late morning, and finish walking Al-Muizz Street into Khan el-Khalili in the afternoon. You will be on your feet for much of the day.
Send us the dates and how many people are travelling, by WhatsApp or the form on this page. We reply with a written itinerary and a fixed price, usually within a few hours. Confirming is a message, not a payment.
No. We ask for no deposit and take no payment to hold a date. Nothing is charged when you book and nothing is payable in advance - you settle with us in Egypt once the trip is running.
Tell us and we will change it, or cancel it, at no cost. There is no cancellation fee and no deadline to worry about, because nothing has been paid up front. If plans shift while you are already here, we will rearrange what we can on the day.
The tourist regions are heavily policed and we work in them daily. Your guide stays with you at every site. If you are travelling alone, tell us - we will match you with a guide accordingly.
