Hello globetrotter! My name is Ahmed and I was born and raised in the wonderful city of Giza. Since I was a child, I explored every corner of the city. By studying Egyptology, archaeology, language, art and religion of ancient Egypt (Bachelor of Guidance at the faculty of tourism and hotels of Helwan University) a great dream of mine came true. So today I am able to share my knowledge about the manifold history of my country with you. In addition to that I am officially certified by the Egyptian ministry of tourism as a tour guide. I will guide you and show you some hidden treasures in the city of Cairo and beyond! Looking forward to meet you!

Tour description

No trip to Cairo would be complete without a visit to Khan Al-Khalili. The bazaar is loud, crowded, colorful, and exciting—full of all kinds of goods and shiny baubles. You can find the typical tourist trinkets here, but don’t let them distract you from the genuinely fine shopping to be found here.
There is a spice market where you can buy fresh spices of any variety. The perfume market is awash with countless mixing scents of essential oils. Deeper into the market there are gold vendors and antique shops full of interesting pieces.
There are fabric shops and carpet vendors and sellers of just about anything you might desire. If you cannot find what you are looking for, do not hesitate to ask a vendor because there is a good chance they will know where to find it.

Even if you are not looking to buy, taking a walk through the winding alleys of this labyrinthine district, you are sure to find something that will catch your eye.
