Egypt Tour Reviews

“Abla Saif - Expert Egyptologist and Photographer – Highly Recommended!”
Short version: We had a fantastic day with Abla Saif! She's not only a certified Egyptologist with 19 years of experience, but also a talented photographer and has a great sense of humor. Everything was perfectly organized, even though we booked last minute. Visiting the pyramids and the Sphinx was made even more special thanks to her stories and the stunning photos she took of us. Highly recommended! For more details, see the full review below. We booked a last-minute tour with Abla Saif, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip. Abla is a certified Egyptologist with 19 years of experience, but she's also an excellent photographer and a truly charming person with a great sense of humor. From the first contact via WhatsApp, we received clear information and quick responses. On the day of the tour, Abla and her regular driver (who stayed with us the entire day) were waiting for us at our hotel right on time. We started with a quick stop at a local clothing shop. While the staff naturally hopes you’ll buy something, there's absolutely no pressure. Then came the highlight: the pyramids and the Sphinx. Already an awe-inspiring sight, but made even more memorable by Abla’s insights and photography. She knew exactly where to stand for the perfect shots, and her explanations were rich in detail, going beyond the standard tourist information. Afterwards, we also visited a spice shop, a perfume store, and a souvenir shop — all local and authentic, and a nice way to wrap up the day. In short: if you're looking for a personal, professional, and fun guide experience in Egypt, Abla Saif is the one to book. We would choose her again without hesitation!
Ali R.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and detailed review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and being part of your journey through Egypt. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience — from the history and stories to the photography and organization. Your words mean a lot to me and motivate me to keep doing what I love: sharing the wonders of Egypt in a personal and meaningful way. I’m especially glad you felt comfortable and well taken care of, even with the last-minute booking. I hope to welcome you again in the future for more adventures and unforgettable moments. Until then, I’m sending you my warmest regards and best wishes!

“Second tour, same amazing service”
Nehal was tremendous today. She gave us great historical & cultural information about the Citadel of Salhadin and the mosque of Muhammad Aly. Followed up by a tour of the Ec and the original Museum of antiquities. Her strength is her ability to show you things you want to know about because every museum is overwhelming in their collections. She also gives you time to explore on your own, which is necessary because you need time for it all to sink in. All in all Nehal was a highlight in a trip of a lifetime.
Nehal N.
Thank you sooo much for the excellent review. It was such a pleasure to get to know you and your beautiful daughter.

“Amazing guide for must-see sights in Giza”
Nahal was amazing from the start. She quickly put together an itinerary specific to our desires (pyramids, Sphinx, and the GEM) when I reached out through GoWithGuide. She arrived on time and was very happy to get our input as to what we wanted from our experience. She drove us comfortably & safely to Giza, and helped us navigate all the logistics to see these wonders, and then provided us with great detailed explanations of all we were seeing. She knew how to keep the scammers at bay and exactly who to go to for things like camels rides, etc. At the GEM her deep knowledge and love for her nation’s antiquities’ history was what took what would be a great experience on its own to a truly amazing level. Great care, kindness, humor, and knowledge was delivered to us in spades. You must seek her availability out as a guide in Cairo.
Nehal N.
Thank you soo much for the review. It was my pleasure to guide and assist you. I am pleased that you were satisfied with the service and I am waiting to see you back in Egypt very soon.

Can I tour Egypt on my own?
You can, but you shouldn’t if you’re a first time visitor. It won’t be as enjoyable, as there’s a learning curve when it comes to effectively touring Egypt. A legitimate local guide can show you the ropes, especially at tourist-heavy sites, where it can be hard to navigate the constant haggling and heavy calls to buy something.
Guides also act as a barrier between tourists and less considerate vendors. You won’t deal with aggressive sales tactics and pressure to buy a service or item.

Why can't you take pictures in Egypt?
You can, but there’s a catch. A law was passed relaxing street photography rules in 2022, so amateur photos are allowed as long as they aren’t of children, and don’t paint a negative image of the country, which is a gray area.
Why does this rule exist? The leadership’s paranoia after the 2011 Egyptian Revolution has led to stricter photography/journalism and video documentation laws in an effort to control the image of their country to the outside world.
