⭐ Highly Satisfied with the Cairo One-Day Tour!
This tour was highly satisfying as it efficiently covered Cairo's main attractions in one day, including the Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and Khan el-Khalili Market.
👩🏫 Our Guide, Mariam, was Wonderful!
Our female guide, Mariam, spoke excellent Japanese. She was very knowledgeable, explained things thoroughly, and flexibly accommodated our requests without any hesitation.
I was delighted that we could chat casually about topics not directly related to sightseeing, such as Egyptian culture and daily life, in addition to explanations of the tourist spots. She was attentive to every detail, allowing us to enjoy our sightseeing with peace of mind.
🏛️ Day's Itinerary
We were picked up at our hotel at 8:00 AM, and the itinerary was as follows:
Pyramids → Sphinx → Two souvenir shops → Grand Egyptian Museum (lunch and visit) → Khan el-Khalili Market → Hotel drop-off.
I personally requested and paid extra to enter inside the Pyramids.
🛍️ Regarding Souvenir Shops
Honestly, it might have been even better if the two souvenir shops were omitted, and the time spent at the Grand Egyptian Museum was extended instead.
However, at both shops, we could hear product explanations in Japanese, and there was no pressure to buy anything. There was no persistent sales pitch, and we heard stories we wouldn't normally hear, so I think it was a good experience in its own way.
🛒 Shopping at Khan el-Khalili Market
Since negotiating prices was a hassle, I asked Mariam, "Are there any shops with price tags?" and she directed us to suitable stores.
While we were shopping, Mariam spent her time casually inside the store, so we didn't feel rushed or worried about keeping her waiting. It was great to be able to shop at our own pace.
📸 Other Notes
Tips were not required, and photos were taken for us free of charge.
*Admission fees for the Pyramids, Sphinx, etc., entrance fee for inside the Pyramids, admission fee for the Grand Egyptian Museum, and lunch expenses are separate.
👍 Overall Review
Mariam's personality and attentiveness were particularly outstanding, allowing us to enjoy our sightseeing in Japanese with peace of mind. This is a highly recommended tour that flexibly accommodates your requests!
