10 Coffee & Tea Tours in Cairo That You Shouldn't Miss
Cairo’s an ancient city that also happens to be a modern metropolis—it’s one of the biggest cities in the Middle East and has the traffic and noise issues to prove it. But as long as you’re not looking for solitude, Cairo—the City of the Thousand Minarets—is a splendid place to explore Egyptian history and culture. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt.

We mostly know Cairo for Pyramids and Sphinx but this time we wanted to do something different. That’s why we chosen to see Coptic and Islamic Cairo. The plan was achieved with beautiful Manar! And we really thank her for introducing us to a new face of Cairo we did not know. The extra bonus is that Manar studies sightseeing and history and know some things that others can skip. Great 1,5 days together!

This was a top class tour, thoroughly enjoyable and well-organised (after the first day's confusion). Particularly great and highlights of our trip were our 2 guides: Sam (a.k.a. Ahmed) in Cairo and Roshdy along the Nile from arrival at Luxor to departure at Aswan. Both made the trip so enjoyable and we highly recommend them. Nothing was too much trouble for Sam and Roshdy and they did everything to make our trip perfect. Arrival at Cairo airport was a minor problem - apparently the meeter & greeter was inside the terminal before immigration and baggage hall and this was not expected. We waited in the arrivals hall and eventually took a taxi - fortunately, we had asked where we were staying beforehand. The tour company had not provided a detailed itinerary at that stage. A last minute change to the itinerary was notified to us concerning the flight from Cairo to Luxor meaning less time in Cairo on arrival. However, luckily it turned out for the best as we had an extra day in Aswan and we caught up with what we had missed in Cairo on our return. Communication before arrival could be improved. However, these were the only minor issues and everything from that point went beautifully once we had met our guides. They were clearly supported well by Reflections. Accommodation at Mercure Le Sphinx was adequate. Small rooms, rather crowded although early breakfast was provided for early starters like us. The food was OK but nothing special - the staff found it hard to keep up with replenishing food, crockery and cutlery. The day went really well. First visit to Pyramids at Giza (almost next door), the Sphinx and Coptic Cairo. Excellent lunch of Koshari at authentic Abu Tarek restaurant in the city centre. We were tired by this time and opted out of any other planned visits (including the Egyptian Museum, which we did at our leisure after the Nile trip). We idled at the airport and flew to Luxor, arriving mid-evening. We stayed onboard our excellent cruise ship, Semiramis III, and as we had missed dinner, food was left in our well-appointed cabin, more spacious than we had expected. The huge picture window was a highlight. The ship, the staff (especially concierge Zerdan) and the food were all excellent. and we felt very comfortable. Meal times were arranged around trips. Food is included in the fare but not alcohol; local lager beer is good but the wine? No recommendations as we failed to find anything worth drinking. First day saw us at Karnak (a highlight for me) and Luxor temples in the early morning and Valley of the Kings late morning (another highlight). Hatshepsut's temple was an unexpected treat and is now looked back on with pleasure. We called at the imposing Colossi of Memnon before returning to the ship for a late lunch. We set off upstream mid afternoon allowing a relaxing time on the wonderful open top deck, enjoying the Nile scenery and birding. Next day we visited Edfu temple and in the dark of the evening, Kom-Ombo temple. In the meantime, we enjoyed the gentle cruise upstream. I had awoken during the night at the locks and spent an hour watching our progress through them. Very interesting. We awoke at berth in Aswan, opposite the huge dune of Qubbet. Because of the changed itinerary, we had time to visit Abu Simbel temple - a 3 hour desert journey each way but well worth it - this was an 'extra'. The temple had been moved to its present place on the banks of Nasser Lake at the time of construction of the dam at Aswan by the Soviets. On our return, after siesta and food, we visited a Nubian Village. That was interesting enough, but knowing my interest in birds, we took the backwaters of the Nile to reach the village. Superb! Final day saw local Aswan trips to the Unfinished Obelisk, the High Dam and Philae Temple. I bought 2 tee shirts: bargaining started at $150 each and finished at $10 for both :) Our flight back to Cairo from Aswan was delayed twice, so we arrived back mid-evening and again stayed at Mercure Le Sphinx hotel, but in a better room. Final tour day (but not our final day as we stayed on) saw us visit the Egyptian Museum and we were so glad we had not rushed around it on the first day. We were able to take our time. We lunched again at Abu Tarek for Koshari, now a favourite in our home. After lunch, I went alone with Sam to the Step Pyramid at Saqqara (an 'extra'). Another 'extra' was the Pyramids and Sphinx Sound and Light Show. It was memorable and well worth seeing. In summary, the trip was historically memorable, relaxing during the cruise, excellent value, well-organised and the guides (Sam & Roshdy) made everything perfect. We can highly recommend this trip

My wife and I traveled to Cairo and booked a private tour for the pyramids and Egyptian museum. Maii was our guide and she was fun and lively! We enjoyed the knowledge she had to share about the sites. Amazing history. In all we saw the Pyramids, Sphinx, Papyrus shop, and Egyptian Museum. The entry fees were not included to note. Only Egyptian pounds accepted at site entrances. Very cool experience and felt completely safe amidst the global pandemic. Definitely worth booking with Maii!

Cairo can get pretty noisy and so many crowds everywhere. If you want a break from all the noise I suggest you take a trip to Alexandria. It will totally be worth it and there is so much serenity there. I took this tour with the impression that the tour guide would be amazing but she didn’t really turn out that way. However, I would book with this company again because my satisfaction was extremely important to them and they did everything in their power to make true situation right. This gives you a pretty good idea of Alexandria and the best part is that everything is provided to you so you can sit back and relax
