Great tour with Adel! :) Adel was a super nice guide who was able to answer all our questions. He spoke very good German and even went significantly over the allotted time! We would happily do it again!

A wonderful day with a very nice tour guide who spoke excellent German. The successful day began with a punctual taxi driver who took us to the meeting point with the tour guide. It quickly became apparent that she not only spoke excellent German but also had a perfect command of Egyptian history. The day was perfectly planned, and the scheduled activities were carried out seamlessly—with plenty of humor and, consequently, lots of fun. Highly recommended!
