“Had a great time!”
Marwa was such a nice guide! Her patience and kindness was unmatched. She had a lot of additional infos on the tour, and took me to an authentic breakfast afterwards which was like a small additional tour on its own. I'm very thankful she was my guide and would recommend her to anyone, at any time!

Thank you so much for your lovely words! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and sharing not only Egypt’s history but also a little taste of our local culture. Your kindness made the experience even more special, and I’m so happy you enjoyed every moment. You’ll always be welcome in Egypt, and I hope to see you again soon!

“Fascinating and unusual”
Mariam fashioned an unusual tour for us starting with Mamluk mosque/tombs in Cairo’ northern cemetery. It was far off the beaten track but included some aesthetic gems of medieval architecture. She then brought us to some contemporary art galleries in Zamalek. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and able to answer a host of questions about modern and medieval Egypt.
Maryem H.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you chose this tour, as it’s very special to me. The City of the Dead is such a unique and fascinating part of Cairo, and I always enjoy taking people there and sharing its beauty and history with them. I’m so happy you enjoyed it, and I hope your family did too! It was a real pleasure meeting you all, and showing you some of the contemporary art galleries was another highlight for me. Thank you again for such a lovely experience!
