Review for Old Cairo Cultural Tour: Islamic & Coptic Old Sites + Lunch

Absolutely incredible experience. Walking down El Moez street feels like stepping into a time machine. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Fatimid and Mamluk eras, and explained the details of the Qalawun complex and Al-Hakim Mosque perfectly. We ended the tour wandering through the Khan el-Khalili bazaar which was chaotic but beautiful. Booking through Joy TKT was seamless, and the transport was very comfortable. Highly recommend this for anyone wanting to see the real Islamic Cairo!
