About Tour Guide Safaa A.
Hello. I'm a qualified Egyptologist and guide.
I have so many unique and beautiful tours to hidden spots, such as the beautiful Marsa Alam, best diving place on earth where you can see rare marine creatures, play with the dolphins in their natural environment not hateful cages. 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 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 (ancient Egyptian language), and enjoy a delicious organic farm lunch between 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 restaurants. I also have many other beautiful tours.
As a guide who studied Egyptology and at the same time love nature, 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 culture, nature alongside with history.
I'm new to the website that's why I still don't have reviews, so be the first one to write the first review :)
