5.00Our trip to the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara was truly the experience of a lifetime, and it would not have been the same without our incredible guide, Samar, and our amazing driver, Hussein. From start to finish, Samar was absolutely phenomenal. She is not only extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Egypt’s history, but she also knows how to make every moment fun and memorable. She brought the ancient sites to life with fascinating stories and insights, and on top of that, she made sure we had the best possible experience. From taking us inside the pyramids, showing us the best photo spots, arranging camel rides, guiding us to authentic local shops, and even introducing us to amazing authentic Egyptian food, she thought of everything. She also went above and beyond by taking beautiful photos and videos for us—and even editing them so we’d have perfect memories to look back on. Truly, she felt more like a friend than just a guide. Hussein, our driver, was equally outstanding. Always on time, professional, and kind, he’s an excellent driver navigating the roads and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the day. He opened doors, made sure we had everything we needed, and was always right there when we needed him. Together, Samar and Hussein made our trip unforgettable. They worked seamlessly as a team, and thanks to them we not only saw one of the world’s greatest wonders, but also felt welcomed, cared for, and treated like VIPs. If you are considering a tour in Cairo, do yourself a favor and request Samar and Hussein. We cannot imagine experiencing Egypt without them. This was truly the time of our lives, and we’re so grateful to them both.
Amazing Experience

5.00Hussam was prompt and very knowledgeable. He gave us tons of great historical context and went with our pace which is quite fast. He even helped ensure our camel ride was under 10 minutes as requested. He took us to a papyrus factory which was a great place to visit. Be aware that you will be strongly sold from the papyrus company but we as tourists are happy to support the locals.
Great Experience!!
