Had a wonderful time with Wael on a private tour around Cairo. He was very communicative and helpful in planning a customized tour to all the top sites, and even made sure to include the often overlooked hidden gems. Wael was very knowledgeable and receptive to questions, with transportation all around in a comfortable private car. Spoke great English and had good conversation all through the day. Toured a local market, Cave Church, visited other historic Coptic Christian sites and a tour through the NMEC. His knowledge and insights throughout made the trip very memorable. Would highly recommend!

He was very communicative and helpful in planning a customized tour to all the top sites, and even made sure to include the often overlooked hidden gems. His knowledge and insights throughout made the trip very memorable. Were able to go through to several historic parts of the city and the old Sultan Hassan Mosque – and even meet the Imam! Walkthrough the old Market gave a really intimate feel to the city. Would highly recommend!

Wael was fantastic. His style is very relaxed and comfortable and clearly he is very knowledgeable on seemingly all things Egypt! We spent two full days with Wael as he customized a tour with our input completely to our liking. When back in Egypt, I will certainly use Wael again without hesitation.
