Hello travelers! I'm Mo Swefy, founder of Cairo Trips, and guru of Cairo :). Actually, all my team are Gurus of Cairo and we speak several languages fluently. We're fun guys and we consider ourselves kind to people and we love meeting and talking with people from other countries. We've traveled through thousands of places in Cairo therefore We know Cairo inside out like the back of our hand. We love everything that has to do with our city and we consider ourselves 100% Cairenes :) "So this is our story: Cairo is our home, and we love this land that gave and taught us so much.
Cairo is a microcosm, it's more than just the pyramids and Museums. That's why we decided to build these tours to show you the hidden treasures of this Cosmopolitan city. Especially Islamic Cairo because it is completely underrated and during our tours, you will discover the beauty of our city. All we want is that travelers will leave Cairo with the feeling of having been in a beautiful and safe city full of life" --- and last but least leave good online reviews for us to keep us going :D
Warm regards,
Cairo Trips

Muhammad was a truly wonderful guide. His English is perfect. He's intelligent, kind, and good-humored and an excellent communicator who provides enough information and background without overwhelming you with boring facts and figures. Our tour of the mosque was particularly meaningful in that we felt the warmth and community of the place thanks to Muhammad's skillful combination of telling its history while sharing its place in Muslim life today. We could not imagine going through the 5 km of the chaotic market with anyone else. Muhammad's father ran a textile shop in the heart of the market and many of the merchants in the non-tourist portion of the place clearly were friends. We were treated to a glimpse of many different craftsmen at work and came to know the difference between the "real thing" and a cheap overpriced knockoff. There was no hard sell involved and the beautiful things we bought were at fair prices and sold to us with warmth and a sense of fun. The tour was an amazing highlight of our trip from the calm beauty of the mosque to the sights, smells, and sounds of the seemingly endless market. We were also grateful for his understanding when we let him know by text that we were running late due to being stuck in traffic. Take a tour with Muhammad!
El tour es genial! Igual empezar ligeramente más temprano para tener oportunidad de visitar la mezquita. Pero los lugares por los que nos llevó, en el momento indicado nos permitió apreciar en su punto más bonito con el folclor del mercado y sus distintas zonas sin ser abrumador. Pudimos apreciar la cultura y nos llevó a los mejores sitios para hacer shopping post-tour!
There’s no better way to explore the labyrinth of Islamic Cairo than with Mo as your guide. He tailors the tour perfectly to your interests and preferences, taking you to hidden gems, the best shops, and local eateries. Along the way, he brings the city’s history to life with fascinating stories about the Mamluk Sultanate and beyond. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to truly experience the soul of Islamic Cairo.
