I can’t recommend them enough. I got into Cairo on a 12-hour layover at 2:00 AM. By 3:15 Hani and his driver were meeting me at the airport. For the next five hours we strolled through lovely downtown Cairo & over the Nile, wandered through (friendly, well-organized) Tahrir Square, toured

I had an excellent layover tour with Hani. He is knowledgable, fun, and passionate about his city. I went for a tour of the pyramids, sphinx, and to a papyrus factory which were all great. Ask him any question about Egyptian history and he will surely know the answer! Also
