Maryem H.
Hi there! My name is Maryem, and I am a licensed tour guide, certified by the Egyptian Tourism Authority. Guiding is my passion. From a very young age, I have loved stories and languages the way they connect people across time and place, and Egypt is gladly full of those. I believe that knowledge and storytelling have the power to bring life back to silent stones and ancient buildings. They can transport us through time and, more importantly, connect people on a deeper level. At the end of the day, whether ancient or modern, we as people are not so different. No matter where you come from or what you believe, you can always find a part of yourself in these stories. That is what storytelling does—it gives history a heartbeat and makes it live again. Meeting people from different cultures and learning about their perspectives has always inspired me, and I feel very fortunate as an Egyptian, a land where history and culture are alive at every corner. I speak both English and Japanese, which allows me to connect with a wide range of visitors and share Egypt’s treasures in a way that feels personal and engaging. My goal as a guide is not only to present historical facts but also to bring them to life through storytelling, so that you can feel the spirit of ancient pharaohs, the beauty of Islamic Cairo, and the harmony of Egypt’s religious heritage. When you explore Egypt with me, I will show you the country through a local lens—blending the historical, cultural, and modern insights that make each city unique. From the timeless pyramids of Giza to the vibrant streets of Cairo and the coastal charm of Alexandria, I look forward to welcoming you and sharing my beloved country with you. You can contact me and customize your tour, feel free to reach me!

Is Cairo a walkable city?
Unfortunately, it’s not. Cairo is notorious for being very difficult to walk in, unless you know the city intimately. Locals have mastered the art of walking in Cairo, but for a newbie, it can be overwhelming.
It’s best to keep these tips in mind while breezing through the city center;
- Stay away from motorbikes. They move fast, and not always on the road.
- Look drivers in the eye when crossing the road
- Wait for a small crowd to gather so that you cross the road together. Safety in numbers
- Don’t try to outrun the car/motorbike. Patience pays.
- When all else fails, follow behind the locals, or even better, your local guide.

Is Cairo English friendly?
Yes, English speakers will be comfortable in the city, as most people, especially those within the hospitality industry, speak English fluently. If you’d like to extend some courtesy, here are some useful Arabic phrases you can learn.
- As-Salaam Alaikum - Peace be upon you, or peace be with you. This is how most people greet another, regardless of the time of day.
