Extraordinary guide for family trips! - Adel was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We were two families and the kids enjoyed all his clear and simple explanations as we visited Giza pyramids, the Egyptian Museum, Coptic area, mosks ,etc.

(almost) all of Cairo in one day - we had booked a full day trip and didn't have to stick strictly to the programme! Our guide Adel picked us up from the hotel in the morning and drove us safely through the crazy traffic. In the Egyptian Museum everything was explained to us in detail. Very interesting. Adel also took a lot of time to answer our questions. During the city tour we were shown and explained interesting places and if we wanted we could stop anywhere for a photo. We were able to take a spontaneous boat tour and visit the Cairo Tower. Adel knows the right people everywhere, so we didn't have to wait or have any other circumstances make anything impossible for us. The end of the day was a visit to the Khan E-Khalili bazaar, which we would never have been able to leave without Adel because we would have gotten hopelessly lost. Here too we were made aware of reputable traders. Clearly recommended!!!

Best private tour guide ever! - Adel was the best tour guide ever. I highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in learning about the history with tons of detail and amazing care. He took us to a few spots around Old Cairo and explained the styles of structures in great detail. Thanks so much again!

Very knowledgeable and pleasant guide! - We did 3 different tours with Adel during our time in Cairo. I really appreciated how flexible he was, tailoring each tour to our interests and the time available. He has a great depth of knowledge about Egyptian history and does a great job explaining it. This made the sights come alive for us! In particular, we had an amazing 3 hour tour of Saqqara and Memphis. I'm glad we had a guide for this. We chose to do the great pyramid on our own and that was fine though we would have learned more with a guide. Next day Adel took us to the Egyptian Museum. I thought we would need a guide and that was true! He showed the highlights and explained the context. He would always give us extra time on our own if we wanted it. The following day was (for me) the most surprising. We explored Coptic Cairo and Islamic Cairo and the Garbage City. Truly amazing. Adel packs in a lot and his prices are fair. He will make occasional suggestions about shops or services but not at all pushy. We enjoyed his company and would not hesitate to look him up if we return to Cairo!
