Giza Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Guide of the Pyramids with Maryem”

Maryem guided around the pyramids and the sphinx. We are glad we had her as a guide as it helped understand the area and history so much better. It also made it easy to navigate around as the bus routes are not clear and the way to walk to the sphinx is not clear. She speaks good English. Well worth the money.

“Another Incredible Day and a Friendship Made Along the Way!”

Another Incredible Day and a Friendship Made Along the Way! After such a great first day, my mom and I were excited to spend another day exploring Cairo with our guide, and once again, she did not disappoint! We visited the beautiful new Grand Egyptian Museum, where she shared so much knowledge about Egypt’s fascinating history. She also took us to a certified perfume shop, which I really appreciated because I wanted to purchase authentic, good-quality Egyptian perfume oils. It was nice having someone knowledgeable who could guide us toward a reputable place. One of my favorite parts of the day was visiting the local market. She openly admitted that negotiating wasn’t her strong suit, but she had the best time watching my mom and me negotiate with the vendors! We shared so many laughs, and those little moments made the experience even more memorable. What started as a tour guide experience genuinely turned into a friendship. We connected so well that we’re already talking about planning a trip together outside of touring! I truly enjoyed getting to know her, learning about Egypt through her perspective, and sharing these experiences with my mom. She was kind, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and such a pleasure to spend time with. I would absolutely book with her again, but even more than that, I’m grateful that our paths crossed. I came to Egypt looking for a great tour guide and left with a new friend!

“Fascinating, touching and very personal”

We spent two wonderful days on a private tour expertly guided by Maryem: (1) Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur and (2) GEM, Islamic Cairo. We learnt a great deal about the culture of the ancient Egypt and the Middle Ages, but thanks to the many insights Maryem shared with us, also about modern-day Egypt – the latter particularly from the perspective of today’s young people. Fascinating, touching and very personal. We can highly recommend Maryem as an open, warm-hearted and knowledgeable guide.
