Things to do in Cairo, Cairo Governorate: The Best Self-Guided Tours & Rentals

November 25, 2021 Kiesha Cripe

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. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

We had another AMAZING adventure/tour with Tours Egypt! This time, we visited Sakkara, Memphis, and Dahshur. This experience was as impressive - or even more so! - as the Giza Pyramids. What we loved is that we almost felt we were a part of our very own movie. Climbing up the steps into these awe-inspiring structures was mind-blowing. And then climbing down the narrow, and at times steep, passages was truly incredible. Navigating passageways, twists, turns, steps, and inner rooms was truly breathtaking. You never knew what was around the next corner! What we LOVE about touring with Tours Egypt is the excellent balance they achieve to suit your touring style. We like to learn the history of each area while on the move. Rasha provided her vast knowledge (and photography skills!) while Hamed designed a fantastic itinerary that was NEVER dull. Both allowed us the time and freedom to linger in an area if we wanted, and met our needs to see as much as we could! I recommend Tours Egypt without hesitation, and I'm sure we will use them again for our next "adventure" in Egypt!

Promised a lot but delivered very little. The guide seemed to be a clock-watcher, never spent the time as promised - missing a number of key sites including Islamic Cairo. The tour manager was nowhere to be seen once the deal was done and money taken. He should've explained his guide as to the details of the tour agreed with me and my friend, but I was later asked by the guide - 'what's your itinerary' instead and I was in a fix being new to the city. Felt being cheated, big time. Won't recommend at all if I'm honest.
