After pickup at your hotel lobby, travel 140 kilometers (87 miles)in an air-conditioned vehicle to Basioun in the Gharbia Governorate, the hometown of Mo Salah. Once there, visit Nagrig, the village where he was born, and enjoy a walk in the village street. See his former home and school, which was later named after him, before heading to Osmathon Football Club where Salah first played football (soccer). Throughout your tour, get a glimpse of life in the Egyptian countryside. Learn about how farmers cultivate their lands, which tools they use, and the traditional methods they use.
