The Unbelievable Experience in the Magic Land - We planned the Egypt tour in July of 2023 targeting February of 2024. Towards the end of 2023 lots of things have changed including visa requirements for Canadians. We got confused whether we should go for the trip and we are very happy that we decided to go forward. We were looking for tours and a friend recommended Ahmed from their experience and we are so grateful that they did. We communicated with Ahmed in December of 2023 after we received our visa by mail and the experience was nothing but excellence since then. Ahmed, a very knowledgeable and well spoken in English, responded right away on every single queries we had. We arrived Cairo, late evening of February 17, and Ahmed received us at the airport. He is a very thoughtful person and ordered food as we arrived the airport thinking it would be difficult to get food for us at that time in a new city. He helped us checked in into the hotel and gave us all necessary advises. The next morning, and the remaining tour days, he was there right on time with car and our driver Mohamed was an absolute gentleman. After we completed our initial Cairo tour, we flew to Luxor, and Ahmed joined us there. The Luxor and Edfu tour will remain as highlights of our all vacations ever. We cannot say enough about Ahmed and his support which we felt every step of our trip - every single details he planned and informed us and he went way beyond the typical tour package. For one example, I was curious about authentic mandi dish which I tried in another middle eastern country and I was disappointed. He invited us to a dinner to a real mandi restaurant outside Cairo. It was a very nice restaurant and a typical foreign tourist would not find it. Ahmed ordered lots of traditional Egyptian food and the lamb mandi we had there was so delicious I would not forget the taste for long time. The last day before our departure from Egypt, we requested some extra tour and despite being his early morning return from Luxor, Ahmed accommodated our request and we were fortunate enough to visit the Citadel, the new Civilization museum. Then, he took us to a restaurant as I expressed my desire for authentic mashi dish. Overall, Ahmed made our Egypt experience unbelievable - there was not a single point he did not consider for making our trip the best. We are so lucky to have him as our guide and we cannot simply thank him enough for what he had done for us.

Great experience wonderful guide and driver! - Ahmed was the best tour guide I had in Egypt! He took his time to show me the sites and took some wonderful pictures of me at the locations! I felt like I had my own personal photographer. They came out so nice! I felt like a friend and not just a customer! I highly recommend this excursion! Abdu was our driver and he was amazing, getting us safely to and from the sites! These two are a great team! As a solo female traveler I was in great hands and felt safe! 10 stars to these two!

A tour with Ahmed ! - Ahmed picked us up from our hotel in a private car and he kindly welcomed us from the very first moment. He provided us with water, snacks, Egyptian coffee and juices. Right from the start he introduced us to the history of ancient Egypt, describing in great detail every stop we would visit during the day. With him we visited Memphis (open-air museum), Saqqara Pyramid ( the oldest existing pyramid ) Unas Pyramid and the Great pyramids of Giza with the Sphinx. Unforgettable was the camel ride where we could admire the majestic pyramids. He loves his job and he is very passionate about what he has been studying for years, Egypt and its wonders. He also made my birthday magical by surprising me with a delicious cake and a typical Egyptian lunch, where all the restaurant staff sang me happy birthday and made me feel very special. Extremely helpful, he met our needs and took hundreds of photos of us, always finding the best photo spots. A special day with a special guide, and memories that will be cherished forever. Ahmed is in my opinion the best tour guide you will find in Cairo. Highly recommended

tour to the pyramids at sunset - What can I say!! Hussein Elgabry is the perfect tour guide. What a lovely person. After visiting Cairo with my mum we were so happy to meet Hussein who took us to see the pyramids. He collected us from our hotel in a lovely air conditioning vehicle with bottles of fresh water. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. We felt very safe and comfortable on the tour. We visited the pyramids along with some shops and all throughout the tour Hussein explained everything to us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We learned so much off Hussein on the tour and seeing the pyramids as the sun was setting made our whole experience just magical. When I had the tour I was recovering from an operation and Hussein made sure the whole time I was comfortable and felt well. Thank you so much Hussein. When I next visit Egypt I will be sure to contact you again xx
