Correct or not?
I told Ramzi, “I’m going to have a tour in Cairo and Giza with my British friends Tom, Peter and Jack.”
I studied that 'told' is used only in reported speech. Is the use of 'direct' speech correct here?

Omar Ahmed I studied that 'told' is used only in reported speech. I suppose that is a very common use of 'told', but it's not its only use. I'm surprised that anybody would even mention this.
