About Tour Guide Maryem H.

Hi there! My name is Maryem, and I love stories, adventures, and languages—the way they connect people across time and place. Egypt is full of all of these, and I would love to share them with you.


I became a tour guide because I wanted a career that combined travel, culture, and meeting people from around the world. What started as curiosity became a journey I am truly grateful for. I studied history to become a licensed tour guide, and my passion for Egyptian history continues far beyond my studies.


Whether you are fascinated by Ancient Egypt, curious about Islamic Cairo, or interested in Coptic history, I would be happy to guide you through Egypt’s rich and layered past. I believe storytelling has the power to bring silent stones and ancient places back to life, helping us connect with the people who came before us—and with one another.


As someone who loves learning from different cultures, meeting travelers from around the world has always inspired me. I speak both English and Japanese, which allows me to connect with a wide range of visitors and create experiences that feel personal, engaging, and memorable.


Beyond historical tours, I also enjoy creating off-the-beaten-path experiences, from cultural activities to nature adventures, tailored to what you are most excited to experience in Egypt.


When you explore Egypt with me, I will show you the country through the eyes of a true Cairene who deeply loves her city—blending history, culture, and modern local life. 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.


Feel free to contact me and customize your ideal tour—I would be delighted to help you experience Egypt in a meaningful way.

The Great Pyramids tour

Our visit to Giza and the Pyramids with Maryem H. was one of the highlights of our time in Egypt. Maryem made what could easily have been an overwhelming day feel relaxed, organized, and genuinely enjoyable. Travelling as a family with teenage children and aging parents, we really appreciated how well she adapted the tour to everyone. She shared enough history and interesting details to bring the Pyramids and Giza to life, while keeping things engaging and never making us feel like we were sitting through a history lesson. What impressed us most was how attentive Maryem was to the needs of our entire family. She was patient, flexible with the pace of the day, and always conscious of making sure everyone was comfortable. She handled the logistics and helped us navigate the experience so that we could simply enjoy being at one of the most incredible places in the world. Maryem’s warm personality and positive attitude made the day even more memorable. She was more than a tour guide. She genuinely cared about making sure our family had a great experience. If you are planning to visit Giza and the Pyramids, I would highly recommend Maryem H. She made an already extraordinary destination that much more special, and we would not hesitate to tour with her again.

GEM the grand Egyptian museum and Khan El Khalili market

We had an absolutely wonderful experience visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum and Khan El Khalili Market with Maryem H. as our tour guide. We initially planned to spend just one day touring with Maryem, but we enjoyed her company, attitude, and warm demeanour so much that we extended our time with her to three days and two additional tours. What really stood out was Maryem’s ability to tailor the experience to our entire family. We were travelling with both teenage children and aging parents, and she provided exactly the right amount of history and information to keep everyone interested and engaged without ever making the tours feel long or overwhelming. Maryem also went well beyond simply being our guide. She took care of so many of the details that made our time in Cairo easy and enjoyable, including helping us arrange a car, recommending and organizing lunch and dinner, and adjusting our plans along the way. She even suggested a short additional tour on our way to the airport so we could make the most of our final few hours in Cairo. Her knowledge, flexibility, patience, and genuinely pleasant personality made a significant difference to our trip. By the end of our three days together, it felt much more personal than simply having a tour guide. I would highly recommend Maryem H. to anyone visiting Cairo, particularly families travelling with different age groups. She listens to what you need, takes care of the details, and makes sure everyone enjoys the experience. We would absolutely tour with her again.

Great day !

Maryem made our visit to the Great Pyramid truly memorable. She brought the site to life with fascinating explanations, great context, and a clear passion for Egyptian history.She was attentive, engaging, and very easy to talk to, always giving us time to explore and ask questions without ever feeling rushed. An excellent guide who added a lot of value to the experience. We would happily recommend her to anyone visiting Giza.
