Enjoy an unforgettable private shore excursion with a friendly personal guide from ToursByLocals. Each of our Cairo shore excursions features a local private guide who knows this city as only locals do, and will give you a unique private Cairo tour, based on your own interests.
No trip to Cairo would be complete without a visit to the Egyptian Museum with its extensive collection of antiquities and the Pyramids - located just 15 km away in Giza.
But you will also want to visit Khan el-Khalili, an ancient suq (shopping area) that dates back to 1382.
Choose from the Cairo shore excursions offered by ToursByLocals, but feel free to suggest alternative places and activities. Your private tour can be customized by your personal guide to include exactly what you want to see and do in Cairo. |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
People guiding travelers in the historic places of Egypt are required to have a license from the Ministry of Tourism. Obtaining this license requires training and passing of an exam on both the historical sites and the language of guiding.
For other activities such as shopping and night clubs you don't have to be a licensed guide but you have to have permission from the tourism police. report error
