5.00Mohamed Doma was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and personable, and he explained things in a clear and concise way so we could all follow what he was saying, including our 13 yo & 10 yo children. We also got additional tidbits of information about Egyptian culture. He was lighthearted and fun as well! He made sure we had time to do everything we wanted safely and without rushing. He was helpful and will treat you like habibi. We highly recommend him as a guide!

5.00Taha was our guide for two days in Cairo. Day one was Pyramid Day - where we went to Giza and Saqqara. If you have the time, I highly recommend this tour. It was great to see both Pyramid plateaus. On day two, we went to the Grand Egyptian Museum- and it is indeed GRAND. Our guide, Taha, was great. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things Egypt. We were a small group and he gave us the time and flexibility to see what was important to us, while guiding us to the best spots and places of interest. Taha is a wonderful guide into the gates of Egypt. I highly recommend Taha and we will book with him again.
Definitely worth it!

The entire process was smooth from the very beginning, starting with the fast, clear, and seamless booking handled by Waleed, whose responsiveness and professionalism made everything effortless. From pickup to drop-off, the tour was perfectly organized and punctual. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging, offering rich historical insights that brought every gallery and artifact to life. Exploring the GEM—especially the magnificent Tutankhamun collection—was truly unforgettable, and having such an expert guide made the experience even more meaningful. Transportation was comfortable, communication was excellent, and the team made sure we felt well taken care of at every moment. This was a premium, personalized experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Forever Egypt Tours for anyone wanting the best possible visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum. Exceptional service, flawless logistics, and an experience that exceeded all expectations.

Grand Egyptian museum

5.00After our amazing trip with Forever Egypt Tours to visit the Civilization Museum and the Pyramids, we immediately booked the Grand Egyptian Museum tour. We were picked up by a private driver and taken straight to the museum, where we met our guide, Omar. His passion and knowledge of Egypt’s culture and history were incredible, me and my partner both had such an amazing time and learned so much. Honestly, without a guide, the museum can feel overwhelming, but Omar took us through each section era by era, explaining the key artifacts and stories behind them. Afterwards, he even took us to a great local spot for lunch. Before taking us back to the hotel. I would highly recommend Grand Egyptian Tours to anyone looking to make the most of their time in Egypt!
