5.00Kareem was my favourite tour guide. I had 6 in Egypt. He was kind, patient and very intelligent. We had a wonderful day with him. Kareem was helpful and didn’t take us to any stores where the prices are inflated. Most of our guides did this. 10/10!!!

5.00I recently experienced a full-day tour of Philae Temple, High Dam, and the Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan, expertly guided by Ahmed Majid. From the beginning to the end, the tour was delightful. The boat trip to Philae Temple was magical, with stunning views leading to the well-preserved temple. Ahmed’s detailed explanations made the ancient carvings and history vibrant and interesting. Visiting the High Dam was equally fascinating, showcasing impressive modern engineering and its significant role in Egypt's history. The Unfinished Obelisk offered a unique insight into ancient stone-carving techniques. Ahmed’s expertise and passion added immense value, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. The day's organization was flawless, with comfortable transportation and ample time to appreciate each site. This tour is essential for anyone visiting Aswan, combining history, culture, and remarkable sights in a well-balanced and engaging way.

Highly recommended for a comprehensive and enjoyable experience in Aswan.

5.00Ahmed Majid is a freelancer tour guide we worked and let me just say he was incredible. I learned a lot! He was very polite and knowledgeable about Nubian history and struggles which I was grateful for as I am curious about the Nubian people. I would absolutely recommend him as a tour guide!
good quality and interesting

5.00I made a tour with Kareem to Philae temple, aswan high dam and unfinished obelisque. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Maybe a tip: I would suggest to skip the high dam and spend more time in Philae as the latter is really beautifull. He also makes sure you have enough pictures to take home with you. I also did the nubian village tour. The boat trip is astonishing. The village itself is - as a lot of things in Egypt - directed on tourism. If you want to hold a small crockodile, this is the place to be. So in short: I liked the boat trip more than the village itself. So if you go for Kareem, you'll have good time and quality assured!
Amazing tour with Kareem

5.00Kareem is very caring, funny, friendly, passionate and so knowledgeable. We learnt so much about all 3 places we visited. He even took us to his home town Nubian Village, such a beautiful place. He made sure to take photos for us so we would remember every moment. He even took some cool videos for us which I love so much! Thank you so much Kareem for everything!
Superb tour with an amazing guide!

5.00Kareem was a wonderful guide and it is very clear he has a passion for sharing this amazing place with others. He was very informative and very engaging. Since I was on my own he took photos of me at all the great places and really wanted to make sure the photos were good. He answered any questions I had and I really had a great time on the tour. He and the driver picked me up from the Nile cruise I was departing that morning and I was very appreciative of that. Would definitely recommend!
