Our Tours Reviews
Premium experience with a small group of same mind explorers
Andrea
I went on several walks around Cairo with the team of Walk like an Egyptian. You have the chance to discover new areas that otherwise would remain unknown or to find out new things about the ones you already know. The guides speak English very well and the information combines history and fun facts. If you are in Cairo the Muezz Street your is a must.

I have done a few outings with Walk Like an Egyptian in Cairo.. I’m already signed up for the next outing! These trips are an incredible way to learn about Cairo and Egypt’s history, and they make the city feel more manageable — not an easy task. The small group setting and repeat attendees makes it feel more like a group of friends than a tour group, and the mix of foreigners and local Cairenes is fantastic.
