A day tour to discover the highlights of Great Cairo; The Grand Egyptian museum & Giza Pyramids
“Knowledgeable and personable - highly recommended”
We were lucky to have Ereen for our family's trip to Giza and GEM, and we could not be more happy. Ereen is very knowledgeable, and is able to speak fluently and detailed about every aspect of ancient as well as modern Egyptian culture, and on top of that, a very nice and sympathetic person. Also, the vehicle she used was spacious and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
