If it had not been for the helping hands of Hassan, I am afraid that I would have been lost in the sands, and fallen pray to the other Pirates of Cairo who CALL themselves "tour guides," as they plunder you for baksheesh, and swindle you for every last piastres you have! So forget about the rest, and STICK WITH THE BEST! Hassan will listen to what you want, for see what you will need, make all the arrangements (including the ones that you didn't even thing about, that you WILL wind up needing to make!), take you places that the average pair of prying eyes do not have the opportunity to see, AND keep you laughing the WHOLE while. And believe it or not, even with ALL of his knowledge on everything and anything Egyptian, he will NEVER make you feel stupid for asking ANY question.... like, "What IS that big stone CAT?!"
