The best experience in Egypt

5.00A Letter to Magic Life Company: Dear Magic Life Company, From Cairo’s bustling bazaars to Abu Simbel’s sun-kissed temples, Hossam charted our course like a seasoned sailor. His meticulous planning ensured seamless days—each pyramid, each papyrus, a chapter in Egypt’s saga. And Rasha? She was our time-traveler, revealing Luxor’s mysteries with a scholar’s zeal. Thank you for this tapestry of memories—we eagerly await our next chapter

5.00A Letter to Magic Life Company: Dear Magic Life Company, From Cairo’s chaotic streets to Abu Simbel’s colossal statues, Nagwan led us like a compass pointing true north. Her passion for Egypt’s past was contagious, and her anecdotes danced across the dunes. We floated on feluccas, lost in the shadow of the Sphinx, and reveled in Karnak’s grandeur. Thank you for this tapestry of memories—we eagerly await our next chapter with Nagwan.
Amazing day of Pyramids

5.00Wonderful trip to see the Pyramids, our guide Rasha was extremely knowledgeable and one of the friendliest people I have met. She gave us tips on what to see where to go and helped us take amazing pictures. She also set up a camel ride for us when we saw the camels at the Giza pyramids, that was a great experience and Rasha made sure we had a good guide who knew how to take some memorable pictures as well. I felt very at ease with Rasha and our driver (who is the best driver in Egypt in my opinion). They made us feel safe, welcome and happy! We saw so many things I know we would not have seen had it not been for these two, and learned so much about Egyptian culture as well. If you want to see the pryamids and want to have a great time doing it make sure you book with Rasha

5.00Excellent Experience We did a day tour to Saqqara and Memphis. We also visited the school of a weaver, Attar shop, paper art Center and Egyptian cotton center. GG Was our tour guide. She is fantastic. Very reliable and a warm person. She has a good knowledge about Egyptian civilisation. She communicates well and I found her a very helpful guide. Please look for her incase you are travelling to Cairo.
A perfect and interesting visit to Caïro thanks to Ahmed.

5.00I had two wonderful days with my guide Ahmed and driver Mohamed. One day we visited Caïro centre and the museum and the other day we visited the pyramids. Ahmed knows a lot about everything and he was able to answer all my questions. But most off all he became my friend after two days. We had a lot of fun and we laughed a lot. He took care of paying all the tips so nobody ennoyed me by asking money. This is perfect when travelling in Egypt. I also had fun with Mohamed, the perfect driver in the crazy traffic of Caïro. And he knows where to buy delicious sandwiches with schrimps. I trusted both of them 100% and they trusted me so we had a perfect tour! Thank you so much for taking good care of me Ahmed, I enjoyed Caïro very much thanks to you guys and I learned a lot.
Excellent service
