“Friendly, Knowledgeable, and Connected”
We had a great day visiting the Giza and Saqqara necropolises as well as the Mit Rahina Museum. Omar gave us lots of historical information while still being approachable and fun. He was also very patient and accommodating of our young children. We felt like we got a bit extra access to parts of the sites we wouldn't have otherwise.
