My name is Alfred, and I have been a licensed English-speaking tour guide since 2001. Ever since I was a child, I have dreamed of becoming a tour guide, and as I grew older, I enrolled in a university specializing in tourism, where I studied history and archaeology for four years. Although I began my career, I always felt the need to expand my knowledge. I pursued courses in Egyptology and participated in field trips to various historical sites across Egypt to ensure I would be an excellent guide.
Now I offer you a 21 years of experience as a guide to make your trip to Egypt as you always dreamed of. I am able to journey throughout Egypt.
I am ready to discuss all your needs anytime with a promise to make your visit to Cairo an exquisite experience.
