Highly recommended A journey through history that is well worth experiencing. Our guide, Ekramy, explained everything in detail and answered all our questions. He gave us great tips on what to see and what wasn't strictly necessary. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour. We traveled with children (aged 8 and 10), and they had a great time too.
