About Tour Guide Safaa A.
Hello. I'm a qualified Egyptologist and guide.
I have so many unique and beautiful tours to hidden spots and destinations, such as the beautiful Marsa Alam, best diving spot on earth where you can see rare marine creatures and play with the dolphins in their natural environment not hateful cages or man-made lakes. I have also a tour to the beautiful valley of the whales, which has the fossils and remains of 40 million years old whales, sharks, crocodiles, mangrove trees and many other ancient creatures. It's considered the oldest place here in Egypt but few people know about it. I can also take you to the step pyramid of king Djoser, first pyramid ever built and the most beautiful pyramid, very peaceful and quiet from inside, unlike the crowded pyramids of Giza. I can also show you inside the amazing earlier pyramids and tombs of Dahshour and Saqqara and teach you how to read the hieroglyphic texts on the tombs (ancient Egyptian language), then enjoy a delicious organic farm lunch among the charming palm trees of Dahshour. See the Egyptian crops and farmers baking delicious bread and harvest delicious dates, enjoy the peaceful greenish atmosphere instead of touristic noisy closed restaurants. I have also many other beautiful tours.
As a guide who studied Egyptology and at the same time love nature and animals, my tours focus on local beautiful nature. Live the local atmosphere rather than staying within the limits of touristic bubble. Environment-friendly, ethic-based tours that focus on local culture, nature alongside history.
I'm new to the website that's why I still don't have reviews, so be the first one to add the first review :)
$30/ per person

Salahuddin Ayyobyed Castle
The Castle of Salahudddin was built by ٍSultan Salahuddin El Ayouby, at the end of the 12th century. He was the founder of the Ayyubid Dynasty and a great army leader. It has the massive, beautiful alabaster mosque of Mohamed Ali Pasha from which you can see the most magnificent scene of the city of Cairo from the rooftop. We will also visit the prison of the citadel which is very mysterious with lots of stories. It's 100% worth to see the beautiful castle. don't miss it !
