What to do and see in Cairo, Cairo Governorate: The Best Multi-day Tours

October 14, 2021 Phylicia Berquist

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.)

My family and I enjoyed the tour with Muhammad. He was really informative and understanding in terms of giving us information about Egyptian history. He also helped us shopping too. He also tells the best places to eat as well. He's an asset to the agency and would look forward to working with him again.

We had a great experience in Egypt with our guides Mohammed in Cairo, and Rocky (Ragab) in Aswan and Luxor. Both were very knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian history, and modern culture. They spoke great English and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend them, along with Explore Plus to anyone interested in seeing the real Egypt.

This tour is amazing, I would totally recommend it to family and friends! We had the chance to explore all the temples from Aswan, Abu Simbel to Luxor. Our guide Ramzy was a key part to make this trip unforgettable, he was very knowledgeable and always willing to answer all the questions we had about the history of the temples. He was always with us and made sure that we had the best experience. The cruise was really nice too, the room was well equipped and the staff were very helpful and friendly.
