A great tour through Egyptian history with Hegazy Amary. - Brilliant German-language tour by Hegazy Amary. No rushing, but still very fluid. The history of Egypt is many thousands of years old and yet Hegazy still finds explanations that are understandable. Simply recommended... and would gladly do it again.
