“Abduo The Amazing!”
Abduo took wonderful care of us when we were in Cairo. He was knowledgeable, passionate about his beautiful country, and went above and beyond for us, including making sure that we safely got inside a budget hotel I'd booked when we couldn't find the entrance after arriving late at night! When plans had to change due to circumstances (family illness, licensing), Abduo came up with a Plan B and made sure that we still got to see what we wanted. Thanks to his knowledge of the city, we got to see a personal side to Cairo, including Abduo's favorite falafel sandwich shop (which has ruined us for all others, yum!) and the best Egyptian barbecue ever. We had such a wonderful time and have amazing memories thanks to Abduo.
