“An absolute GEM... on so many levels”

Choosing Waleed to organise my short trip to the Grand Egyptian Museum was one of the best travel decisions I have ever made. From my very first enquiry, Waleed understood exactly what I was hoping to get from the visit and responded promptly, thoughtfully and professionally throughout. Every aspect of the logistics was handled with the minimum of fuss, and Mahmoud, my lovely driver, was unfailingly punctual, courteous and reliable. The real stroke of genius, however, was pairing me with Mohamed Omran as my Egyptologist and guide. We spent two unforgettable mornings together in the GEM, and I could not have wished for a better companion. Omran combines immense knowledge of ancient Egyptian history with a rare ability to bring it to life through conversation rather than lectures. He answered every question with generosity and enthusiasm, challenged me to think more deeply, and somehow made one of the world's greatest museums feel human and personal as well as monumental. Beyond his wide expertise, he is simply fascinating and entertaining company and a genuinely warm, thoughtful person. I arrived in Egypt expecting to be impressed by the Grand Egyptian Museum. I left with my expectations exceeded in every respect, having made a new friend, and already planning my return to explore more of Egypt with Omran, Mahmoud and Waleed. The museum is a GEM. Waleed and his team are human gems as well.

Dear Chris, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful words. Reading your review truly means a great deal to me. It was an absolute pleasure helping you plan your visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, and I’m delighted that the experience exceeded your expectations. Knowing that every detail—from the logistics to your time with Mahmoud and Omran—contributed to such a memorable journey is the greatest reward we could ask for. Your beautiful description of Omran perfectly captures what we value most: sharing Egypt through genuine conversations, passion, and meaningful human connections rather than simply guiding a tour. I will make sure both Omran and Mahmoud read your wonderful comments—they will be deeply touched. Your final words, calling both the museum and our team “gems,” brought a smile to all of us. We couldn’t ask for a finer compliment. Thank you once again for placing your trust in Forever Egypt Tours. We look forward to welcoming you back to Egypt soon to uncover even more of its remarkable history, culture, and hidden treasures. Until then, we wish you safe travels and all the very best. Warmest regards, Waleed Elakbawy Forever Egypt Tours

“Amazing Tour!!”

We were actually with Osama for our tour but we absolutely loved him. He was punctual, organized, and extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited. We learned so much about ancient Egypt, Islam, Egyptian culture, and enjoyed chatting about our respective families and home countries. An added bonus with Osama is that he takes great pictures and knows all the spots for amazing photo ops. It was also so convenient to have a personal driver for our time in Cairo. He picked us up anytime we needed him and was excellent at getting around the streets of the city. If we did it again, we wouldn’t change a thing!

“Excellent Service”

I had Waleed help me arrange a 3 day tour of Cairo along with airport pickup and drop. I was pretty impressed with the way it was handled right from the start to the end. Waleed got Nabil (Our Driver for three days) and Abdulrahman (Our guide for the 3 days) for us and we were not disappointed. Both were extremely professional and Abdul in particular was very knowledgeable and helped to explain facts very clearly ad my kids (especially my son) enjoyed that a lot. I would recommend them in a heartbeat and they are totally professional in their approach and handling their clients. Job well done and kudos to the team. Regards Aditya
