Embark on a journey that transcends the ordinary as we delve into the enchanting world of Maadi's diverse botanical tapestry. This botanical walk is not merely a stroll amongst trees; it's a curated experience that unravels the stories intricately woven into the foliage that graces the suburb.

Immerse yourself in the verdant embrace of various tree species, each with its unique character and history. From the majestic sycamores that have witnessed millennia of Egyptian history to the exotic Bougainvillea that adds vibrant hues to the urban landscape, every tree has a tale to tell.

Hear tales of resilience, adaptation, and the silent witnesses they've been to Maadi's evolution over the years. Our journey isn't just about the visual feast of leaves and branches; it's about connecting with the roots of Maadi's past and present.

While we explore the botanical wonders, keep your eyes and ears tuned to the avian symphony surrounding us. Listen for the melodious calls of resident and migratory birds, and observe their graceful flights among the branches. From the chirping of sparrows to the haunting calls of nightjars, each bird adds another layer to the enchanting ambiance of our walk.

From the ancient wisdom of the Acacias to the aromatic allure of the Jasmine, let the subtle whispers of the trees and the lively songs of the birds guide you through a sensory exploration. This botanical walk is an invitation to pause, reflect, and appreciate the quiet symphony of nature thriving amidst the bustling city life.

Join me in this captivating journey, where every step unfolds a new chapter in the arboreal saga of Maadi. Get ready to be captivated, inspired, and reconnected with the profound beauty that lies in the silent stories of the trees and the vibrant presence of Maadi's avian residents.

This tour is led by the legendary Egyptologist Ahmed Seddik 

The scintillating City of the Dead, anecdotally known as Al-Qarafa, is so full of life and amenities that if you sum, you realize it is more town than slum. 

We will be able to label the fabled vast necropolis and feast our eyes on monuments glorious from the City Victorious.

The lively City of the Dead is a treasure trove of masterpieces from almost all eras of Egyptian history. Walking there gives you an encyclopedic tour of Egyptian history. True to the vision of some of its founders, the City of the Dead has the power to entertain the mind and retain the body. Around 100,000 Cairenes live here amongst the dead. At the pinnacle of Islamic art, the monuments are architected to articulate the vision of the stellar dweller.

Picnic among the graves in the City Beyond the Walls! It is a kaleidoscope of culture.
