“Amazing & should book right away”
We had a 2-day trip with Marwa visiting the Pyramids, GEM, Saqqara, Dashshur and Memphis. She was so patient, caring and kind during the whole two days and still helped us with many other things. She was amazing, knowledgeable, always on time and very flexible, exactly what you need on a guide during these visits. Don’t waste your time searching more and book it with Marwa!

“An absolutely amazing, informative and fun day with Marwa ”
Marwa was also amazing to work with from start to finish. She replied to my messages very quickly and created an offer for exactly what we wanted. She was on time to meet us and we loved spending the day with her at the pyramids. She knew the best order to see the different areas in and took us to all the best photo locations. Her knowledge and passion of the history was incredible and we loved getting to learn from here. 10/10! Highly recommend. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! It truly warms my heart to read your kind words. I absolutely loved spending the day with you both at the pyramids. For me, history isn’t just a job—it’s a passion—and it makes me so happy to know that my love for these incredible sites made your visit even more meaningful. I’m also glad we managed to capture all those perfect photo moments and that our timing worked out so well! It was a pleasure getting to know you from our very first message to the end of our tour. Thank you for trusting me to guide you through such a special place. I hope these memories stay with you for a lifetime! Safe travels and I hope to see you again someday, Marwa"

“An Unforgettable 2-Day Journey”
For our second day, Marwa took us to Saqqara, Dahshur, and an Egyptian Village. This day felt even more personal. A huge shout-out to our driver, Mr. Abdo, and Marwa—they really helped us navigate the local atmosphere perfectly. We never had to worry about a thing because they had everything handled behind the scenes! It allowed us to truly immerse ourselves in the culture and the sites.

Marwa S.
Thank you so much for these beautiful words — they truly touched my heart Day 2 was very special for me as well. Saqqara, Dahshur, and the Egyptian Village always feel more meaningful when shared with such wonderful people. You are honestly one of the best couples I have ever met — kind, respectful, curious, and full of positive energy. I’m so happy you felt relaxed and cared for, because that’s exactly how I want my guests to feel: free to immerse themselves in the culture without any worries. I’ll always remember our time together, and Egypt will always be your second home

City of the Dead: A Heritage Walk Through Cairo’s Living Necropolis
Join me in a place full of life, art, and history as we explore the unique heritage of Cairo’s Necropolis. Known as the City of the Dead, this area defies its name—it is very much alive. Families live among the tombs, creating a rare landscape where daily life and memory coexist. Also called El Qarafa by Cairenes and the Mamluk Desert, it reflects one of Cairo’s most powerful eras. I call it "Game of Thrones" era as it's the bloodiest one. also it was the peak of art and architecture.
