“A closer look at Human History - Thanks Toka Tarek”

I couldn't have asked for a better tour Guide. Toka Tarek is exceptionally well at keeping people engaged and a master of storytelling. I was in Egypt for 3 days. First day Toka gave me a tour of Dashur, Saqqara and Memphis. The story that started with Narmer in first dynasty lead to the creation of first pyramid in Saqqara by the King Djoser. I got to know about his Vazir, Imphotep, who seems like the early Egyptian version of Leonardo the Vinci. His tomb is close by. Toka choose the right moment to tell the right story. It was like seeing the whole thing happen in front of me. After that we saw the Bent and the Red pyramid, they were an example of Human's ability to try for impossible, failing and then trying again to find success. Step pyramid expressed Human's longing to be closer to God by building tall tombs. And the red pyramid did an excellent job at that. Then we went to Memphis. The capital city. It was in ruins, unable to reflect the glory it once had. But there Toka told me great stories about Ramses II, one of the greatest pharaoh of Egypt and how he got one of the earliest peace treaty signed. Toka also showed me how Egyptian carpets are made by hand by taking me to an institute. Second day was when I saw The Great Pyramid. It was very hard to comprehend how one could have made such a thing. But Toka gave quite good explanations about how the stones were brought there and where workers took rest and how the process was monitored. It was surreal. The sphinx was surrounded by lot of mystery and it's story was crazier. We ended our second day with a visit to Grand Egyptian museum. And saw the a lot of stuff but the Tutankhamun collection is a must see. It transported me to his time. The grandeur of everything was unbelievable. And what stood out was the stories showing his love for his wife and her's for him. On the third day we looked at the history of Egypt in last 2000 years, a church where Jesus and Mary took refuse. Mosque's by greatest Muslim rulers

He then showed us the restaurants for lunch and then offered additional short tours to the perfume, spices, papyrus etc but we declined as our day was so interesting .
