About Tour Guide Maryem H.

“An Outstanding Guide and a Wonderful Person”

I had the pleasure of doing a private walking tour of Cairo’s City of the Dead with Maryem, and it was one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt. Maryem is incredibly kind, warm, and genuine. Her English is impeccable, making every conversation effortless, and her knowledge of Cairo’s history and culture is outstanding. It’s obvious that she is passionate about what she does, and she shares her knowledge with authenticity and enthusiasm. She went above and beyond from the very beginning by arranging a pickup for me from my hotel in New Cairo and even coming out with the driver to meet me to make sure everything went smoothly. Throughout the tour, she took me to fascinating places that I never would have discovered on my own and provided thoughtful insights that brought everything to life. During the tour, I mentioned that I wanted to stop for a bite to eat, and Maryem chose a fantastic restaurant with incredible atmosphere and ambience. It was exactly the kind of local place I was hoping to experience and was the perfect break during the tour. At the end of the tour, she even let me use her phone as a hotspot so I could book an Uber and stayed with me until she knew my ride had arrived safely. It was such a thoughtful gesture and speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring guide in Cairo, don’t hesitate to book Maryem. She is absolutely wonderful, and I would happily tour with her again.

Thank you so much, Laura, for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It really means a lot to me. I'm so glad you considered this tour one of the highlight of your trip because it's a very very special one, and I always love it when travelers get to enjoy its uniqueness. It was truly my pleasure to meet such an elegant beautiful lady like you. As for the other things with the ride or the hotspot that's nothing, and the least I can do you're guest in my city and you trusted me so I have to make sure you're safe and happy. I can't wait to see you again if you ever have the chance to come back to Cairo. :)

“Spiritual and cultural gems of Cairo”

Our tour of Islamic Cairo was the highlight of our entire trip. Maryem has deep knowledge of the historical significance and culture, blending this with the current practices. Visiting the Imam Shafi mausoleum and exploring Ahl al-Bayt sites were truly inspirational. She was flexible and tailored the tour to our interests, including mosques, historical sites and a visit to the vibrant khan-el-khalil market. I did several tours with Maryem and she is excellent!
