• 4Informative, well organised overview of key places in Sharm

  Lovely guide Eissa took us round a number of key sites in Sharm. His knowledge was extensive and his English command was superb. An excellent value tour with super communication and well organised. Would have been better if we could have been allowed to enter the mosques like we did with the church but appreciate it wasn't possible. Thank you.

• 5A great little tour of Sharm el Sheikh with an excellent guide

  5 out of 5 Eissa was our guide for this interesting tour. He communicated arrival time in advance and was punctual on the day of the tour. Eissa is very knowledgeable about the history of Sharm el Sheikh and explained it's development while we were travelling to see the sites. Our first stop was the Mustafa mosque. Here Eissa explained the basic tenets of Islam and we admired the beautiful building. Our next stop was the Coptic Heavenly cathedral with it's marvellous paintings and stained glass. Eissa explained the significance of the images within the church and their relation to Christianity. Our last stop was to see the magnificent exterior of the al-Sahsba mosque with it's ornate architecture. We then went for a brief visit to a perfume and herb shop. Then came a lunch break, after which we were taken back to our hotel. It was a thoroughly enjoyable half day tour which is highly recommended. Thanks Eissa for making it so memorable.
