Overview of your Cairo tour

Every time I visit Abu Serga Church I don't want to go. I feel very calm and light, you can feel brighter, full of energy, more inspired, because here's where the Holy Family stayed while Virgin Mary was hiding from the persecution of King Herod. We will walk past the impressive Babylon Fortress, we will explore together the historical treasures of the Coptic Christian community on this private tour, and visit a medley of early icon-adorned churches, learn about Egypt's rich Coptic treasures and artefacts and tell the story of the Christian community. The citadel of Salahudin was built in the 12th century during the Crusade times and it was the seat of the Egyptian government for centuries Then in 1830 AD Mohamed Ali built his alabaster mosque inside the walls of the citadel I can customize any tour for you according to your requirements

Sherine was fantastic. Has to be the most prompt, friendly, and educated tour operator we have ever had. Did a full day of Pyramids and a second day of Cairo. Would recommend both tours to everyone and you have to go with Sherine!!

Our recent tour with Sherrine visting both Coptic and Islamic Cairo was very inspiring and thoroghly enjoyable. She shared so much history on these two very distinct areas which provided us with much insight and information. Sherrine is a joy to spend time with and we would certainly recommend this tour as part of your time in Cairo

Sherine was the perfect guide. She was on time to pick us up, quickly made an adjustment to our itinerary for something I wanted to see, was very knowledgeable in facts related to each stop and allowed us ample time to take all the pictures we wanted. Sherine was very friendly and enjoyable to be around. A nice surprise afterwards was the Egyptian restaurant she took us to. She even went out of the way to stop at a Starbucks so I could look for an Egypt mug! She really is the best! The day was perfect!
