My tours are a once-in-a lifetime experience of seeing both the famous and lesser known monuments in Cairo. We'll explore and witness the development of humanity's way of thinking and believing. Starting from the most ancient, begining of religions and beliefs about the afterlife with the Step Pyramid, and finishing with the Great Pyramid, we'll cover how Egyptians converted to Christianity at the Coptic Churches like the Hanging Church. Finally we'll discuss how Egypt became a majority Muslim Country. Along with the recent Egyptian life as shown in the countryside around Saqqara and the recent markets at Khan Al-Khalili Bazaar and Downtown Cairo, we'll also discuss
recommendations for authentic Egyptian food that we can try during the tour.
