Our Guides
On arrival
Please meet me at Al-Hussein Square, right in front of the main entrance of Al-Hussein Mosque.
It is very easy to find and located in the heart of Old Cairo.
How to find the meeting point:
Look for the large open square with cafés and shops around. The mosque has a big green sign and a main gate facing the square. I will be standing near the gate holding a small notebook so you can recognize me.
If you take an Uber/Bolt:
Please set the destination to “Al-Hussein Mosque” — the driver will drop you exactly at the meeting point.
If you arrive early:
You can wait at one of the cafés in the square. It is a safe and popular area.
If you have any trouble finding the meeting point, you can message me through the platform.
Things to note
• Please arrive 5–10 minutes before the tour starts.
• Wear comfortable shoes for walking.
• Bring water, especially on hot days.
• The tour may pass through busy streets, so stay close to the group.
