About operator:
Excellent team of tour guides speaking several languages and making excellent tours throughout Cairo, Giza and surrounding areas. The owner of this TripAdvisor listing has lived in the heart of historic Cairo for more than 36 years and because of the archaeologic-touristic atmosphere of that geographical area he became a great guide who used to lead expeditions up and down the old streets of Islamic Cairo and downtown. His parents were the ones who made the effort to teach him the passion and love of languages, history and geography of his country and this later helped him a lot to guide foreigners around the Cairo's hidden treasures. Now he runs a touring business as a licensed official guide in cooperation with competent team members of licensed colleague guides who speak several different languages and have sound knowledge of Egyptology sites in Cairo, Giza and surrounding areas. Enjoy the view from the top of Cairo's highest landmarks to get a bird's-eye-view of the city. :)
