Go with Mohamed I came to visit Egypt with my family and Mohamed was with us the whole time. Very knowledgeable & took the time to answer all of our questions. We saw a lot of attractions & he was able to teach us the history of each one. He also recommended many shops for high quality jewelry, perfume, and other items only found in Egypt!

전문지식을 가진 가이드 우리는 숙소에서 제공하는 일일기자투어를통해 만나게 되었습니다. 그는 전문적인 지식을 가지고 있으며, 방문하는 곳마다 적절한 설명을 통해 우리가 작품과 유적지를 더 잘 이해할 수 있게 해주었습니다. 숙소를 통해 만나게 되었지만, 좋은 선택이라고 생각하고 있습니다.

이집트 투어 편하게 차량으로 이동하고 설명이 아주 좋았어요. 지녁만 제시하고 투어는 알아서 준비해 주셨는데 이틀동안 이집트를 경험하기에 충분히 알찬 경험이었습니다 :)
