Two days in Cairo full of unforgettable moments and conversations with Yasser - Yasser was recommended to me by a colleague. I spent a few days in Alexandria on business and then added 2 private days in Cairo. We planned the programme for both days in advance via WhatsApp. Yasser catered to all my wishes. As I have been interested in Egyptian culture since I was a child, it was a particular pleasure that Yasser, as a qualified Egyptologist, has such extensive knowledge and was able to show me many things off the beaten track. It was also obviously a lot of fun for him to delve deeper into certain areas with me - as far as my previous knowledge allowed! On the first day, Memphis, Sakara and the pyramids were on the agenda. Starting with the foundation of the Old Kingdom, we looked at many aspects and I was able to ask all the questions I could think of. As it was a solo trip, it was of course a bit exhausting for me at times. But when my head was spinning from all the information, Yasser always gave me the opportunity to let what I had just experienced sink in. At the end of the first day, I was very exhausted, but completely satisfied and full of anticipation for day 2. On the second day, we first visited the Egyptian Museum. This proved once again that it was THE RIGHT decision to book a solo trip! We focussed on the most important exhibits, some of which I wouldn't have noticed if Yasser hadn't pointed them out to me with his in-depth knowledge. Sometimes we stood in front of exciting exhibits that were given little or no attention by the normal guided tours. Then we went to the Museum of Civilisation, where the mummies can now be viewed in chronological order in a really great and amazing way Definitely worth a visit!!! The museum also offers a comprehensive overview of 13,000 years of Egyptian civilisation. From the Stone Age to the 19th century. We then turned our attention to the religious sites in Cairo. The Hanging Coptic Church, the Chamber of Je sus, where, according to tradition, Mary, Joseph and Jesus lived for a time after fleeing from Israel, the synagogue and - as a real highlight at the end - the citadel with its truly impressive mosque! Here, too, Jassir was able to come up with lots of exciting stories and background information. Conclusion: If you are looking for a truly personal experience and want to delve deeper into Egyptian history: Yasser is your man! My next business trip to Egypt is probably planned for the autumn. Then I will definitely contact Yasser again and immerse myself further in this fascinating culture with him! The two days were absolutely worth every cent!!! Oh yes! From an organisational point of view, everything was great too! Full marks from me in this respect too :-)

The BEST Tour Guide EVER!!!! - I came to Egypt with a plan of seeing the majestic places. But the very best thing that happened was when I had Yasser as my guide. He gave me overloaded of information about each place we visit. I enjoyed it. The next day, I decided to book another guided tour but made sure that the guide was him. He made me experience what tourists should experience and gave me time to do what the locals do. Bringing me to places where locals live and sit and observe. This is gonna be one of my most unforgettable experience. I recommend you guys to pick this man to be besde you as you explore Egypt, from North to South. Salute! and thank you Yasser. Long live to you.

The Best Egyptologist in Cairo - Yasser Abdeighanni was our guide for a day trip from Cairo to Alexandria in mid-November this year. What a wealth of knowledge this man has! Add that to a warm and generous person, and you feel like you have won the lottery for tour guides. It turns out that he can take you anywhere you would want to go and show you places and teach you about Egypt's history, culture, traditions and religions that you didn't even realize you wanted to know. My fellow travelers enjoyed him so much we hired him to show us Khan El Khalili Bazaar and El Moaz Street, what an experience that was! When it was time for us to leave Egypt and travel to Jordan, Yasser made the arrangements for us with the help of associates in Amman. We know how lucky we were when the stars aligned and Yasser became our "go-to" guy. We highly recommend Yasser and so glad we met him.

A day with Yasser - Wow what can I say.. Yasser was absolutely 💯 amazing. He is so passionate and knowledgeable about history and the area. Our tour took us to Memphis,sakari and giza.. with a traditional lunch.. the perfume shop and carpet weaving( somewhere out there is a carpet with a line of weave that I did) were also amazing. Camel ride round Giza pyramids is a must. The whole day was just so informative and by the end we all felt Yassers passion. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely go back

8 hour tour of Memphis, saqqara, pyramids, horse and cart ride, perfume shop, cotton shop and papyrus factory. - I can’t speak highly enough of Yasser. What a wonderful, kind and learned man who has sparked such a thirst in me for more knowledge about this fabulous country and all of its mysteries. Yasser knows so much and is clearly very well liked and respected at each place we visited. Bring a solo female traveller, it was important I felt safe and indeed, I felt incredibly safe with him and our love driver Anis. I will keep in touch with my new mentor Yasssr and can’t wait to meet him again and learn more about my new but second home, fabulous Egypt. Thank you Yasser - it really was the best day.

Best guide we’ve ever experienced - After spending our first night beside the great pyramids the hotel we stayed at organised a guide to bring us around the sights over two days, On day one our guide arrived, he had very little English and very little knowledge and pretty much bluffed his way through the day. We were very disappointed and made a complaint. They apologise and promised us the guide tomorrow will be much better. This is when we met yasser. He is a quite unassuming gentleman who knows so much about the history of his country, we had such a lovely day in his company. We were so impressed by him that we asked him to be our guide for the rest of our stay in Cairo. He even went out of his was to bring us to the markets in the evening, nothing was a problem After the sights of Cairo he arranged for a driver to bring us to the city of Alexandra and after seeing some great sights there he arranged a beautifull traditional meal which was fit for a king. After finding out my wife loves shopping he also arranged for us to be brought to a massive shopping center which has indoor ski slopes. Yassar made our stay in Cairo very enjoyable and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for the best guide imaginable.

Simply the best guide in Egypt - The first time we were in Egypt, we ordered a complete package trip through a travel company. There we were lucky enough to have Yasser as our guide on the trip, who was absolutely fantastic. When we were going to Egypt again, we naturally hired Yasser (Exeptional Tours Egypt) to arrange the trips to the places we wanted to experience. We hired e.g. Yasser to arrange a trip for us to Cairo where we were picked up in Hurghada by the driver and Yasser very early in the morning. Then we went to Cairo, where we, among other things, visited the Giza pyramids, the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, sailed on the Nile and ate at a nice local restaurant before the trip went back to Hurghada. A thoroughly well-arranged and fantastic trip. Yasser has been our guide on all the excursions we have been on and what Yasser does not know and can tell about Egypt is not worth to know. In addition, we always felt safe, even when Yasser led us around the small local streets, etc. Yasser is an absolutely fantastic organizer of tours around in beautiful Egypt and we will definitely contact Yasser and Exeptional Tours Egypt again if we decide to revisit the wonderful country again.

Excellent - I spent my first day in Cairo, and Egypt, with Yasser. Interesting and very detailed information for the whole tour, never boring. Yasser involves you and is committed to making sure everything goes well. The tour was done in English and as an Italian I can say how it is understandable even to those who speak the language less fluently. The stories on the way to Saqqara, away from the most touristy places, are also worth it.
