This was an amazing one day tour of Cairo and GIza that hit all the sites I really wanted to see in short time available. It started with a tour of the Egyptian Museum that highlighted the amazing history of this country. The exhibits were very informative and seeing the statues, mummies, jewelry, sarcophagus, and the many features of the ancient history of Egypt was a thrill. From the Egyptian museum we proceeded to Giza to see the pyramids and sphinx. There was an excellent lunch before we went to the Pyramids that provided some time to relax and recharge. After the lunch we went to the Pyramids and the Sphinx. This was a lifelong dream to see these magnificent historic sites. There was even time for a camel ride as well. Following that and because we had some time before the evening dinner cruise on the Nile, we stopped at a perfume show, then a silver shop, and, finally, a Egyptian cotton linen shop with plenty of time to see everything and make some purchases. After that we went to the boat and had the chance to see the sunset over the Nile River. There was a very nice dinner onboard that was buffet style and then some great entertainment, a singer, a belly dancer, and then two dancers doing some incredible twirling around the floor. This was very unusual and was fantastic. So, by the end of the day I had seen the things I had most wanted to see, had plenty of time to enjoy them, learned so much, and had time for even more surprises. I cannot say enough about the best tour guide you will ever have, Manar Atwa, and the driver Hamdi. Manar is an expert on Egyptian history, has advanced degree in Egyptian history and architecture, and can tell you so much you will be absolutely amazed. Manar is the best. Hamdi told me that to drive in Cairo you need three things: good horn, good brakes, and good luck. Well I can tell you that you need a forth, and that is a good driver and Hamdi is great driver. I highly recommend you take this tour and see the main highlights of Cairo and enjoy the whole day. But do it with Manar and Hamdi. They are great and will make you day tour memorable.
