What an amazing day this was! We were picked up by our tour guide Taha and offered me and my friend a private tour. He is very knowledgeable and had an answer to all our questions. He is even a very talented photographer :) and took us to some great spots, which we were very grateful for. He took us around the pyramids and the sphinx, then we had the camel ride which was hilarious, then we went for lunch to a delicious local restaurant where i had the best baba ganoush and onion soup. After lunch we visited some oil/perfume shop - amazing scents and an Egyptian cotton shop (very pretty scarfs) and then we went to the Egyptian museum where he was very patient with us because we wanted to check out all the statues :)) again, very knowledgeable and entertaining and told us some additional info which you couldn’t find written.
We finished with a grand market, at which time we were already quite tired so didn’t spend too much time there, but he took some great photos of us again.
Overall, this trip was the best one of our visit to Egypt. Taha even quizzed us (or shall i say me) a few times, which kept the geek in me very entertained. He is funny and kind and we were grateful to have him as a guide.
Also have to mention Muhamad, our driver, 5 stars! :)) The traffic in Egypt is ridiculous but he made us feel very safe (amazing driving skills) and kept us hydrated too. Very smart guy, he taught himself English and was keen to talk to us and get to know us better.
Thank you again for this amazing day, we won’t forget it any time soon! Plus we have top notch photos to prove it. Shukran!
