“Amazing 3 days with Marwa in the Cairo area”
We were a group of 8 visiting Cairo for the first time and had an absolutely amazing 3 days with Marwa as our guide. She was exceptional in every way! Marwa was always punctual, incredibly knowledgeable, and very patient as she explained the history of all the sites we visited. Her fun personality made the tours engaging, and she was great at keeping our group together to ensure everyone heard the explanations. Beyond guiding, Marwa was also a huge help with logistical travel arrangements. Her assistance in that area was invaluable, and the pricing was excellent and straightforward. We highly recommend Marwa for an unforgettable experience in Cairo!

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It was truly a pleasure spending those 3 days with all of you. Your group had such a wonderful energy, and guiding you around Cairo felt more like exploring the city with friends. I’m so happy you enjoyed the history, the arrangements, and the time we spent together. Your kindness, patience, and enthusiasm made everything so easy and enjoyable from my side as well. Please know that you are always welcome back in Egypt — and I would be honored to guide you again anytime. Wishing all of you the very best, and thank you once again for trusting me with your trip. Warm regards, Marwa

“Amazing Tour with Marwa”
I messaged a few guides on this site and Marwa was the standout in terms of friendly communication and her positive reviews and price made the decision. We had a 2 day cruise stop in Alexandria and wanted to see the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Marwa organised the entire thing for us including a driver with a modern Toyota with A/C to pick us up from Alexandria cruise port, drive 2.5 hours to the GEM where we met Marwa. She is very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour around the amazing museum taking us to see all the best things and explaining a lot of the history very clearly including bizarre and funny stories from ancient Egypt and answered all our questions and was very flexible for breast feeding stops etc for our 18 month old. Afterwards, she gave us the option to eat at a (tourist) restaurant she knew or to eat at our hotel. We went with her recommendation and we got to try a selection of local dishes and was decent for £20 each. I’d booked the Hayat Pyramids View Hotel so they dropped us off there afterwards. The Hotel was decent with great views. The food at the hotel looked great through with some local guys having a big dinner there. I’d do that next time. Buy alcohol at Drinkies which is the only trustworthy place nearby. We arranged to meet Marwa at 8am and went straight into the Giza Necropolis. Marwa dealt with all the ticket agents for the sites and the museum and I just paid with my card. Guides go in for free. I paid Marwa for the driver in cash. Marwa had originally wanted to take us to Saqqara first, which I didn’t understand. She said the traffic might be worse later, but for me part of the reason to stay right by that pyramids was that we could go in early and get photos before it got too crowded. It was definitely the right decision to hit Giza first and we got great photos. Saqqara is less busy and less developed. Marwa was a real star and even looked after our daughter whilst we went into two of the pyramids. Recommended.

Marwa S.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a beautiful and thoughtful review! It truly means so much to me that you chose to tour with me during your short cruise stop in Alexandria, and I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed every part of your experience. It was a real pleasure spending time with you and your lovely family—your little Clara is absolutely adorable and such a little explorer! I really appreciate how organized and easygoing you both were, which made planning everything smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I'm glad the visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Giza Plateau exceeded your expectations, and I’m happy we made it to Giza early for those amazing photos—totally worth it! Thank you as well for your kind words about my guiding and communication. I always try to make my tours personal, flexible, and comfortable—especially for families traveling with young children—so it makes me genuinely happy to know you felt well taken care of. I’ll be more than honored to welcome you back to Egypt again one day—there is still so much more to explore together, from Saqqara and Dahshur to Luxor, Aswan, and beyond! Until then, I wish you and your beautiful family all the best in your travels and adventures. ️ With warm wishes, Marwa Your Egyptian friend
