Farah has been our guide today. We met on time as planned. She provided insightful information, took a lot of nice pictures and walked us through the whole experience: pyramids, quick camel rides, essential oils and papyrus factory. She is flexible and offered to free time for entering the pyramids or to drop us at the museum. Thank you, that was a great and safe experience.

We had an unforgettable private tour with Amal and our fantastic driver Rahim! From the moment Rahim picked us up, we felt safe, comfortable, and welcomed. Amal impressed us with her deep knowledge of Egypt’s history and culture. She brought the Pyramids, Sphinx, and ancient sites to life with stories that kept us captivated. Beyond the landmarks, Amal introduced us to authentic Egyptian food and drinks, and guided us through rich cultural experiences, we tasted spices, learned about papyrus making, felt the softness of Egyptian cotton, sampled perfumes, and admired handmade jewelry. Every stop felt personal, not rushed or commercial. Rahim drove with calm confidence, always respectful and on time. Amal made the day fun, informative, and truly memorable. If you’re looking for a warm, professional, and immersive experience in Egypt, Amal and Rahim are the perfect team. We can’t recommend them enough!
