4 Days Egypt Experience for Solo Woman Egypt Fun Tours min 1

Amazing experience

My husband and I had a ten-hour layover in Cairo and luckily found Egypt Fun Tours while researching tour companies online. The owner, Hamada, picked us up from the airport and brought us around Cairo. He took us to see the pyramids, which was a memory I will never forget.

Amazing Experience

Hamada was incredible! So knowledgeable and kind. He had information about every item, street corner, and relic we looked at. Any questions we had, he had answers! He even made sure to give us tips while walking through the crowds so that we would feel more comfortable when being approached

cairo layover tours - Pyramids and GEM Tour from Cairo Airport

Great layover tour

First things first…I was in Cairo about a week before the protests of 2011 started. As far as the tour was concerned, I was very pleased. I was met at the airport by a knowledgeable guide (Sara) who spoke great English and a driver. They took me to Giza first,

Excellent Layover Tour

I would recommend Egypt Fun Tours to everyone who is looking for either a cultural or relaxing trip in Egypt. I was recently on a private layover tour and could not have been any happier with my day in Cairo. My tour guide, Hani was waiting just outside immigration and

A great day!!!!

Thank you Hamada for an incredible day! Thank you for the stories and the history, you are so knowledgeable and we didn’t feel rushed at all or like we missed out on things, will definitely be recommending this tour to everyone 🙂

Excellent trip to historic sites with no one else around. We came to see Egypt while most places still had COVID-19 fears. The staff at Egypt Fun Tours were professional, safe, and great to deal with. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I feel like I just got a year of
