Cairo

Arabic (Native), English, French, Italian

9 hours

Private tour (only you and Safy A.)

Up to 15 people

I dedicate part of each tour profit to help stray animals of Egypt (vaccination, food, neutering)

Fayoum contains the skeletons & fossils of 40 million years old whales, crocodiles & mangrove trees. It also has the magic lake where we enjoy the most unique sand boarding on earth.

So much fun for both adults & kids. Usually, we make it as a day trip as it’s just two hours from Giza. However, upon request, we can also camp there for star gazing, fox watching and the most delicious desert dinner!

About Tour Guide Safy A.

It was never about history alone! Every single tour of mine focuses on healing, sensing and even smelling the real Egypt in a profound way that can never be forgotten. Live the local atmosphere rather than staying within the limits of touristic bubble. Environment-friendly, ethic-based tours that focus on culture, nature alongside history. Go back in time millions of years and feel the ambiguity of the whale valley, once was an ancient ocean. See the first pyramid ever built in the history, wander like an ancient citizen in the ambiguous tunnels of the Serapium. Feel the thriller of every molecule of sand and air of Ancient Egypt. A considerable part of my tours goes to stray animals of Egypt.

I'm a specialized guide. I've studied Egyptology (not only history but also archaeology, religion, art, literature, hieroglyphic translation, mythology of ancient Egypt), for so many years and still studying new theories, references, updates in a non-stop journey of acquiring knowledge.

All my tours are customizable. You can customize any tour to suit your own needs (adding or removing places, including or excluding tickets if you prefer to pay on your own, choosing pickup time...etc).

Looking forward to meeting you and spend great time together :)

“Beyond Expectations !!”

I had the most amazing and informative tour with Safy It's worth it to see Saqqara and Dahshour. They are totally different and much more beautiful and peaceful than Giza Like many people, I grew up fascinated by Ancient Egypt and experiencing it alongside Safy made that fascination feel real in a way I never expected. Her passion is contagious and she has a unique ability to make every site feel meaningful and memorable. Unlike previous tours I had with other guides, Safy provided a 100% different experience with a focus on pre-dynastic Egyptian history with an "off the beaten feel" than at Giza. She’s very knowledgeable ! Her driver Mohamed was also very friendly, reliable, and prompt. I noted that other tourists missed out on seeing some beautiful hidden areas we got to see thanks to Safy's detailed knowledge of the hidden sites. That added to the 'specialness' and the feeling of adventure. Going to the Serrapeum and knowing the meanings behind hieroglyphics inscribed there thanks to Safy, was one of the most amazing things I’ve been blessed to witness. Her knowledge of Ancient Egypt is truly impressive—she doesn’t just point things out, she brings history to life. She can read hieroglyphics and explain the full stories behind them, which adds a completely different depth to the experience. It’s clear she has studied extensively and genuinely knows her craft. What truly sets Safy apart, though, is her compassion—especially for animals. Throughout our tours, she always made time to care for stray animals, bringing food, showing kindness, and even supporting humane efforts to manage stray populations. It’s rare to see someone so dedicated not only to her work, but also to making a positive impact in the places she operates. She is knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely cares—about both her guests and the world around her. I hope more people get the chance to experience Egypt through her eyes. DO NOT hesitate to avail yourselves of her knowledge and talents.‏
