    Absolutely loved this museum! So much history and great artifacts. I had a guide which helped me appreciate what I was seeing even more. Easy to navigate and gain entrance. King Tut exhibit was nice as well.

    Had a great time seeing this mosque. It helped that our guide explained what I was seeing and more about Islam. You need to take off shoes (or wear provided covers). You don't need to cover your head.

    My husband and I recently took a Nile Cruise as part of a package booked with Classic Holidays , I had never heard of Classic holidays before this trip and booked after looking at their reviews .
    This was without a doubt one of the best holidays we have had , Classic holidays from start to finish were brilliant .
    We were met by a representative at every point of arrival and departure and the service overall was outstanding .
    Their recommendations were excellent and I would use them again , and again and again , they even assisted me with a problem I had regarding a purchase on board the cruise ship , which was not their responsibility , but they did anyway . Their customer service ethic is just wonderful .

    Went with my daughter to the Khan-El-Khalili which is the historic bazaar in the centre of old Cairo. It fascinating, huge and a must experience. To be honest some people made us feel a little uncomfortable, but all was good. The salespeople can be a little pushy and most of the items are cheap and I believe are imported from China. So be aware.

    Enjoyed seeing this church and learning how it got its name. It has a beautiful entrance/walkway. Some nice details on the inside.

    My guide told me that there are more than 1000 mosques in Cairo itself. It is very evident as we drove around Cairo and Giza.

    Due to time constraints, we visited the mosque at the Citadela, the Al Rifa Mosque and the Mosque and adrasa of Sultan Hassan. As expected, we had to take off our shoes and women have to cover up their heads.

    These mosques are rich in History. Noted some tombs inside these mosques, tombs of royalties. They also have nice, beautiful ceilings, chandeliers, especially those of Mohammad Ali.

    One of the Most Beautiful and Greatest and remarkable Historical Places you can visit in Egypt where you will find the vast Green Areas and the Fresh Breeze and you will find very nice restaurants in this place and all the staff working there are very friendly and your visit to the park will fill you with energy and enthusiasm and at the same time with peace and relaxation that's because of the authenticity of this great place.

    On the Nile island of Gezira, cosmopolitan Zamalek is home to cultural powerhouses like the Cairo Opera House, a grand riverside venue for performing and visual arts. Paintings and sculptures at the Museum of Modern Egyptian Art span the 20th and 21st centuries, while independent galleries focus on emerging local artists. Refined global restaurants and chic cafes sit alongside embassies and upscale hotels.

    We bougth one ticket for both places: Mosque of Ibn Tulun and this museum. A guide accompanied us and showed this rich collection of the British officer. The building itself is also very interesting with inner yards, fountains, winding corridors, secret rooms, etc. Originally there were two buildings (from 16. century) connected by a covered bridge. We enjoyed the visit, this place was fabulous. A James Bond movie was filmed here in 1977.

    On our last night in Cairo, one of our party suggested a walk down by the Nile. The streets were teeming with people out to celebrate the Prophet's birthday and the Qasr el Nil Bridge, flanked by lions, was reminiscent of the Charles Bridge in Prague on New Year's Eve. We spotted the Cairo Tower - you can hardly miss it, it's the tallest structure in Cairo - and decided to visit. It looks modern. Somebody thought maybe early 21st century. It came as a big surprise to find that it opened in 1961. Its top is meant to represent a lotus flower. Most people buy tickets to ride to the top and look at the view. We may do this next time. Instead we went into the courtyard. I bought a souvenir at the gift shop, which actually has a few items you can't buy in every other shop. There's a coffee shop too. On this particular night Mustapha invited visitors to have pictures taken with his very good-looking camel and ride it too. Is he there every night? Probably not. But if you find him be sure to say hello. He's a very friendly guy. I suggested al fresco dining in the restaurant, where there was a nice breeze blowing. On the TV was a football match actually taking place in the stadium next door. There is lots of real foliage and it's all very charming. We had Stella beers. On the menu are snacks like chips, Croque Monsieur and Croque Madam. Mustapha came past, giving someone a ride on his camel, and we bought him a beer. It was a great way to end our first trip to Egypt. Try it!

    Despite the distance, my family has voted Festival City as thr best mall in Cairo. Huge, modern and sprawling, the mall has every store you can image. What sets it apart from other malls is the layout. The mall is set on 3 levels with wide corridors and high ceilings, giving a feel of spaciousness. It's also very easy to navigate.

    A feature is the dancing fountains, surrounded by a variety of restaurants. Perfect in the evening.

    My teens enjoyed the arcade, which was very appreciated given that most malls only focus on younger patrons.

    Festival City also has an abundance of furniture stores, including the city's only IKEA (which I avoided lest I bought furniture, thinking I can ship back home!)

    Fair prices on unique authentic souvenirs.
    Dealt with Yousri and he was very patient and kind.
    You will not regret stopping here, and will likely walk out with multiple items.
