Our driver took us around Cairo safely and was always nearby when we needed to be picked up. Doaa was very knowledgeable about the sights in Cairo and helped explain what many of the buildings and statues were. She is very funny and kind. I asked to go somewhere that wasn't listed on the itinerary and she was more than happy to take us there. We felt very safe with her and our driver. I am so glad we got to meet…”
