“Interessante Tour dich die Altstadt”
Sarah hat uns mit Youssef einen tollen Guide vermittelt. Er hat uns in der Zitadelle neben den Moscheen und deren Erbauung auch viel über den muslimischen Glauben erzählt. Im koptischen Viertel konnten wir sowohl verschiedene Kirchen, als auch eine Synagoge besichtigen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Tour!

“Toller Guide”
Wir hatten einen tollen 1/2 Tag mit Youssef, den Sarah uns vermittelt hat. Er konnte uns sowohl historische Fakten über die Pharaonen, die Bauweise der Pyramiden, Spinx & Tempel, als auch Hintergrundinformationen über die Mumifizierung und Bestattungsrituale benennen. Er war sehr geduldig und wir hatten genug Zeit mit unserem Kind Fotos zu machen und auch die Chepos-Pyramide zu besuchen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Tour!
