About Tour Guide Maryem H.
Hi there! My name is Maryem, and I am a licensed tour guide, certified by the Egyptian Tourism Authority. Guiding is my passion. From a very young age, I have loved stories and languages the way they connect people across time and place, and Egypt is gladly full of those.
I believe that knowledge and storytelling have the power to bring life back to silent stones and ancient buildings. They can transport us through time and, more importantly, connect people on a deeper level. At the end of the day, whether ancient or modern, we as people are not so different. No matter where you come from or what you believe, you can always find a part of yourself in these stories. That is what storytelling does—it gives history a heartbeat and makes it live again.
Meeting people from different cultures and learning about their perspectives has always inspired me, and I feel very fortunate as an Egyptian, a land where history and culture are alive at every corner.
I speak both English and Japanese, which allows me to connect with a wide range of visitors and share Egypt’s treasures in a way that feels personal and engaging. My goal as a guide is not only to present historical facts but also to bring them to life through storytelling, so that you can feel the spirit of ancient pharaohs, the beauty of Islamic Cairo, and the harmony of Egypt’s religious heritage.
When you explore Egypt with me, I will show you the country through a local lens—blending the historical, cultural, and modern insights that make each city unique. From the timeless pyramids of Giza to the vibrant streets of Cairo and the coastal charm of Alexandria, I look forward to welcoming you and sharing my beloved country with you.
You can contact me and customize your tour, feel free to reach me!

“True professional and a special person”
I spent a week in Egypt with my family and we had several tours with Maryem via Gowithguide (Giza Pyramids and Sphinx tours, Grand Egyptian Musem, Cairo Tower, Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Sakkara Memphis and Dashur). It was a great experience, she is a true professional, reliable and a special person who made sure every part of the tour was flawless.

“旧市街と素晴らしいディナー”
1日目は、ホテルまでお迎えに来てもらい、初めて会うことができました。彼女は最初から私たちに笑顔で、優しく色々と説明してくれて、とても安心できました。お昼は、地元のおいしいお店に連れて行ってくれました。モスクや、旧市街の散策は、ゆっくりとお茶をしながら楽しむことができます。ガイドでありながら、友達のように一緒に過ごせるのが、とても嬉しかったです。 何より、夜のディナーの場所は、今まで行った旅のレストランで、1番の景色、料理、安い、全てが最高でした。 とても良心的で、この日の夜は忘れられない日になりました。彼女は、私たちのツアーをいろいろ考えてくれて、本当に滞在になりました。 また会いたいと願っています。

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.
