Let me say, I’m a hotel snob. And this place exceeded expectations. The bed felt like a marshmallow. As for the tour—standing at the foot of the Great Pyramid made me tear up a bit (don’t judge). The Museum had real mummies. Like, actual preserved people from thousands of years ago. The air smelled like history and spices. The guide was hilarious and threw in random facts that kept things interesting. I laughed, I learned, I napped in a five-star bed. What a ride

This wasn’t your average dusty museum tour. We got to see the real heart of Cairo. The museum? Epic. The Pyramids? Unreal. But I didn’t expect to love Islamic Cairo as much as I did. I bought a tiny brass lantern that now sits on my kitchen counter. Every stop was well-timed, the van rides were actually relaxing, and I got to see more in two days than I did in a whole week elsewhere

I didn’t expect to get pampered on a history tour, but here we are. From the moment we left Marsa Alam, everything was just easy. The guide was funny and super smart. Seeing the Citadel was my personal favorite—it’s a peaceful escape above the city’s bustle. There was a moment where I just stood there and watched Cairo stretch out forever. The car ride back had chilled water bottles and comfy seats. That’s what I call classy travel

I’m still amazed how we fit in so much. First day was the Giza Plateau—those Pyramids really make you feel tiny. That night, we chilled on a rooftop sipping mint tea, hearing the evening calls to prayer—chills, I tell ya. Day two was more history with the Museum, and the highlight was Islamic Cairo where we tried fresh bread from a street cart. Culture shock? Maybe. Worth it? 100%
Janet Lou Rivers –
We only had 48 hours, but somehow, we crammed in millennia of history. The tour was beautifully planned. Islamic Cairo felt like a treasure hunt—lanterns, spices, call to prayer echoing over the rooftops. The Pyramids were just WOW, and I actually touched one. Our guide explained the building techniques like he was there when they stacked the stones. Also, yes, the ride had A/C. Thank God

This wasn’t just a trip—it was a VIP time capsule. Cairo’s ancient history was right in our faces, from the Pyramids to the dusty scrolls inside the Egyptian Museum. But don’t let “ancient” fool you—our trip was smooth as silk. The airport transfers felt like a limo service, and even the small things like snacks and cold towels made a difference. The city itself is electric—fast, colorful, loud in the best way. Loved every chaotic second.

The moment we landed in Cairo from Marsa Alam, it was go-time—but make it glam. Our hotel looked like it belonged in a movie, and the car that picked us up had WiFi and cold drinks. Day one was Pyramids and Sphinx—yes, I did the classic photo pretending to kiss the Sphinx (no regrets). Day two, we hit the Egyptian Museum, and wow, the amount of gold in there is insane. Even the stuff I learned in school didn’t prepare me for seeing it in person.
Chuck Danner –
The Citadel is something else. We reached it just in time for sunset, and the way the sky lit up the mosques was unreal. I could see all of Cairo from up there—it was like a golden sea of buildings. The streets of Islamic Cairo felt like stepping into another time. Every corner had something worth photographing. Even though we had a tight schedule, it never felt rushed. The whole experience was smooth, luxurious, and culturally rich
Mary Jo Whitaker –
I had two days in Cairo and came back with a lifetime of stories. The Pyramids were surreal, and I finally saw the Sphinx in real life—y’all, it’s BIG. The Egyptian Museum is packed with ancient treasures (King Tut’s stuff was wild). What I didn’t expect was how much I’d fall for Islamic Cairo with its old markets and lantern-lit alleys. It’s like Cairo tells you stories on every street. Plus, that falafel wrap I had in a local café? Magic.

Flying from Marsa Alam to Cairo felt like time travel wrapped in luxury. We kicked off at the Pyramids of Giza, and I swear no photo could’ve prepared us for how massive and awe-inspiring they are. Our guide made ancient Egypt come alive—like walking through a real-life documentary. Lunch was top-notch in a Nile-view restaurant, then we breezed through Islamic Cairo where the vibrant street life was buzzing. The Citadel gave us a perfect panoramic of the city. We stayed at a beautiful hotel that had the fluffiest pillows I’ve ever experienced and modern everything. Transport? Sleek van, fully air-conditioned. No camels, I promise
