Lovely and relaxing ride on the Nile in the traditional felucca. Sites were pointed out and described with some of the history. My guide, Ashour, selected a nice restaurant based on what I was interested in having, and recommended two delicious dishes. Lovely way to spend the evening!

An exceptional museum with lots to discover, a beautiful citadel, and a very enjoyable tour of Old Cairo. However, I think the price is a little too high. Unfortunately, the restaurant chosen was too touristy.
