From Cairo Alexandria Catacombs Citadel Day Trip with Lunch

Had a really nice day out with Heba as our guide and Bishoy driving. The car was modern, spotless, and had great air conditioning, loads of space too.

Overall the trip was fine, but I was really unsettled by how the driver handled an incident with a dog on the road. He hit the dog and just kept going, even though it was clearly in pain.

The trip was alright, but the van’s AC didn’t work well, so we ended up sweating most of the way.
