About Tour Guide Nehal N.
I am an Egyptologist, heritage professional, and licensed freelance tour guide with over 15 years of experience in the field of Egyptian tourism and cultural heritage.
I hold a Master’s degree in Heritage Conservation and Site Management from Brandenburg University of Technology in Cottbus-Senftenberg, Germany. My academic background, combined with a lifelong passion for Egyptian history, has shaped my career and deepened my dedication to sharing Egypt’s rich cultural legacy with the world.
Born and raised in Giza, just a stone’s throw from the Giza Plateau, I’ve been immersed in the world of ancient history from an early age. Growing up within sight of the pyramids, along with being part of a family that includes many Egyptologists, inspired me to become one of Egypt’s tourism ambassadors.
Throughout my studies and professional career, I’ve had the opportunity to travel extensively—both within Egypt and internationally. I’ve explored numerous cities abroad including Berlin, Dresden, Potsdam, Munich, Hamburg, Milan, Venice, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels, Prague, and Vienna. I’ve also visited Saudi Arabia, Istanbul, Sapanca, and Bursa in Turkey.
In Egypt, I’ve traveled across every governorate and region, gaining deep knowledge of the country’s diverse cultural, historical, and natural landscapes.
It would be my pleasure to guide you through an unforgettable journey during your visit to Egypt—bringing its ancient wonders and vibrant culture to life through authentic storytelling and professional insight.

“Old Cairo and bazaar ”
Nehal took us on a very interesting historical tour and helped us navigate the bazaar to find exactly what we were looking for at a good price. She took us for a delicious local lunch. She was so friendly and easy to talk to, we had a great time. We could never see Cairo without her! Highly recommended!

“Sights and Sounds of Cairo”
Nehal took us on some great sites around the city and provided us with some customized shopping experiences! We really enjoyed the mosque of Muhammad Ali and the hanging church. We capped off the day at the NMEC and the mummy exhibit. All of our experience was fantastic and we would highly recommend Nehal for a customized experience!

“Great time at the pyramids!”
Nehal took us to the pyramids at Giza, encouraged us to do a camel ride, and explored the grand Egyptian museum. We broke up the day with a great bite to eat at a buffet and some shopping at a cotton/linen store. We had an excellent time and Nehal was a great narrator and explained everything in great detail. Would absolutely recommend!
