My wife and I flew into Cairo for a day on our way to Dubai. And are we glad we did. Ereen and her driver Aboud met us at the airport and off we went. First stop was the Cairo museum. Along the way Ereen shared her personal life with us. The interesting thing is, Ereen's husband is also a tour guide. It's like getting two tour guides in one. Her knowledge of Egypt was enormous. After vising the the Tutankhamun exhibit, we thought what could be more impressive. Well she showed us the pyramids of Giza. We were given ample time to visit all three pyramids and sphyx to take pictures. You can buy passes to walk into the pyramids if available. We chose to walk through Khafre. I should warn you this is not for the faint of heart. It is very demanding. The tunnel is only about 125cm tall and is about 45% down. Finally at the bottom you can stand up. Your destination is a tomb room in the middle where you can relax before the return trip up the entrance tunnel. We had great weather so our photos were spectacular. Ereen provided a wealth of knowledge about the pyramids and sphyx and Aboud knew right where to take us for some great photos. It was early afternoon by now and we were beat. But Ereen gave us several more choices on what we could do the remaining time. We chose to take it easy and have lunch along the Nile. After dinner we were given more choices on what we could do with the remaining time. It was about 3pm and we decided to head for the airport for our 6:30 flight. I'll tell you right now I'm glad we did. It took us 2 hours but Ereen and Aboud had us back at the airport for our flight to Dubai. What a great time and what a great tour team. I would highly recommend Ereen and Aboud to anyone looking to visit Cairo.
