“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.

Waleed E.
Thank you so much for this incredibly detailed and thoughtful review! We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your three days in Egypt and, especially, that Toka Tarek was able to make the history come alive through her storytelling. This is exactly what we hope our guests experience—not simply visiting monuments, but understanding the people, stories, achievements, and ideas behind them. Your description of the journey from Narmer and Djoser to Imhotep, the Bent and Red Pyramids, Memphis and Ramses II, and then to the Great Pyramid, Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum is wonderful to read. We are especially happy that the stories and explanations helped you appreciate the incredible achievements of ancient Egyptians in a deeper way. It is also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed exploring Egypt beyond the pharaonic period and discovering its Christian and Islamic heritage. We will certainly share your kind words with Toka. She will be absolutely delighted to know that her passion for storytelling and Egyptian history made such an impression on you. Thank you again for choosing Forever Egypt Tours. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Egypt one day to continue the journey through its incredible history! Warm regards, Waleed
