Cairo Best Secrets and Shopping Tour with ZIZOU - We had a wonderful day touring Islamic Cairo. Our guide, Zizou, took us on a walking tour inside the walls of the Citadel. The mosques, shops, restaurants, and coffee houses were bustling with activity. It was fantastic walking through all of this. We were so happy we did this tour so that we could see how the Islamic people of Cairo really live. The buildings were so beautiful, and the people were so friendly and inviting. Afterwards, Zizou took us to his favorite restaurant to experience true Egyptian cuisine. I must mention the driver, Mohammed! Being able to negotiate the hectic Cairo traffic is truly a skill, and he mastered it flawlessly!! It was an amazing day and a great way to end of trip to Egypt. Thank you so much
