Overview of your Cairo tour

Living in a city like Cairo with such a profound history and the overall realm of antiquity always gave me a sense of pride and fulfillment. I feel this history and the ancient people's practices, traditions, and knowledge have never been ruptured or uprooted , it's an ongoing practice and rather repetitive and consistent in our everyday lives. I can make you feel the pulsation of these practices and how lively they are in our everyday life. The concession of civilization had been passed throughout history since the earliest footsteps of the ancient Egyptians on the valley of the Nile, throughout kingdoms, the Greco Roman times, the Arabs, the Byzantines, the Copts, the Mamluks, and the Ottomans. The National Museum of Egyptian civilization introduces an enjoyable journey of empirical and experimental knowledge. Combining this visit with the exploration of Old Cairo and the Citadel of Saladin allows you to appreciate the continuity of Egypt's history and the convergence of cultures into one melting pot.

We had an amazing time with Nesreen as our tour guide in Cairo and the Pyramids! She's incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about ancient Egyptian history, making the experience both educational and fun. Nesreen is friendly, easy to talk to, and knows the best spots for stunning views. She also cares deeply about animal welfare, which we really appreciated. Her excellent time management ensured we saw all the must-see sites without feeling rushed. Highly recommend Nesreen for anyone looking for a top-notch guide!

Nesereen was a fantastic tour guide for our group. She was fun, very knowledgeable, interactive, a great communicator, and managed to organise for us a great tour with very short notice. Our day with her will surely be a highlight of our trip.

My husband and I visited Cairo in March, 2024. We used ToursByLocals, specifically Nesreen Elnaggar, to take us to places in Cairo not included in our group tour. We cannot speak highly enough of Nesreen. Before we arrived she worked closely with me via email to assure our tour would be perfect, and it was. She is engaging, knowledgeable, and fun. We not only learned a lot about the locales we visited, we learned about Egyptian life from a local resident. We left feeling as if we had gained a friend.
