“well organized family trip”
We had a nice sightseeing trip around the pyramids. Our guide gave us valuable insights into the Egyptian history and understood to create an imagination of the temples how they were in the time. Cherry on top would have been a more honest recommendation on what to visit, e.g., rather go to Sakkara than into Cheops Pyramid.

“Like a Swiss watch”
Waleed organized our entire trip from airport arrival to departure. The Car and Driver were great and always on time. Mohammad Doma toured us through the new grand Egyptian museum, and the Giza pyramids. Then Alexandria and its wonderful history. Everything ran smoothly. Mohammad was extremely knowledgable and a pleasure to be with. Waleed was always in touch and available with any concerns we had. I would highly recommend Waleed and Mohammed for anybody who is travelling to Cairo.

“ An Unforgettable Day in Cairo – Osama Was Simply Outstanding!”
We had an absolutely incredible day exploring the wonders of Cairo with Osama, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the magnificent Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx to our ATV adventure in the desert and camel ride, Osama made the entire experience truly unforgettable. What made the day so special was not only his excellent knowledge of Egyptian history, but also his wonderful personality and the genuine care he showed our family throughout the entire experience. Osama was incredibly knowledgeable about the pyramids, the pharaohs, and ancient Egyptian civilization. He explained the fascinating history behind these extraordinary monuments in a way that was both entertaining and easy to understand. He brought the stories of ancient Egypt to life and made our visit so much more meaningful than simply sightseeing. He organized our ATV adventure around the pyramids, our camel ride, and all the little details that can sometimes make sightseeing in Egypt overwhelming. Everything was seamless, enjoyable, and stress-free. We could simply relax and enjoy every moment. Having traveled extensively and worked with many private guides around the world, I can honestly say that Osama is among the very best. He combines professionalism, historical knowledge, warmth, kindness, and a sincere desire to give his guests the best possible experience. What could have been just another sightseeing day became one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Egypt, thanks to Osama. If you are visiting Cairo and want to explore the pyramids, the Sphinx, and the surrounding desert, I would recommend Osama without a moment’s hesitation. Thank you, Waleed and Osama, for taking such wonderful care of us and for giving our family memories that will last a lifetime. You are not just an exceptional guide, but a genuinely wonderful human being!
