‪Guide for Cairo and Luxor‬‬ ‪Customized a 4-day tour in Cairo and Luxor based on the preference of my partner and I which had made the trip relatively pleasant. In addition, Mr Ibrahim was responsive towards our enquiries during the planning process and the actual tour to minimize any misunderstandings.
