"Concerning Egypt, I will now speak at length, because nowhere are there so many marvelous things, nor in the whole world beside are there to be seen so many things of unspeakable greatness. " Herodotus Dear Friends, Egypt holds the key that unlocks seven millennia of history and hospitality. I invite you to explore this living, breathing past with me! When you visit Egypt, you will stand in awe before the ancient treasures. You will marvel at its natural beauty; the golden dunes of the Sahara, the holy land of Mount Sinai, the fertile Nile valley, and the underwater paradise of the Red Sea. But most of all, you will be impressed by the warmth, generosity and hospitality of its people. Egyptians are justifiably proud of our very special country; a fascinating blend of timeless traditions and modern innovations; a colorful tapestry of many cultures living together harmoniously. I genuinely care about my country, my guest, and your well being while in Egypt. I want you to enjoy your visit, and allow me to share with you the very best Egypt has to offer! What makes a travel experience unforgettable? Again and again, my travellers tell me it's the time they spent with their local guide. Why? Because guides bring more than knowledge — they bring creativity, flexibility, and a genuine desire to make your day remarkable and unique to you. Whether you're chasing hidden gems, seeking out niche interests, or accommodating accessibility needs, I will go above and beyond to tailor your tour to you. The best thing you can have in every place is someone that can take you around and show you exactly what you want, and enable you to dive straight into the local culture, traditions and more. I will be able to help you to meet lots of people and choose the experience you think most fits your interests. I have been working as a tour guide throughout Egypt for over 16 years. This year, I am very proud to offer you a portfolio of top quality tours that are customized for a wide variety of interests. Whether you are interested in the ancient sites, a very special family vacation, camel and horseback riding, a desert safari or romance, I can make it all come true with a tailor-made tour just for you! Whether you are a solo traveller, family on vacation, a teacher planning a field trip, or a group of friends or co-workers looking for something different to do together, I have got you covered! I want your stay in Egypt to be the most exciting, memorable and satisfying travel experience of your life. I know that once you have traveled with me, Egypt and its people will always have a special place in your heart! Remember, when you are in Egypt, you are part of my family. Welcome home to Egypt!

Twice a year beams of sunlight would penetrate the front entrance and 65 metres into the temple. This would illuminate three of the four statues in the shrine at the end; the fourth, Ptah - the God of darkness - would not be lit. A phenomenon the entire world stood in awe before it to prove how the ancient Egyptians were very advanced in astronomy and architecture. In the 1960s the construction of the High Dam on the Nile threatened to submerge Abū Simbel. In a remarkable feat of engineering that began in 1964, both temples were meticulously disassembled and rebuilt at a higher location. I invite you to witness a new miracle of the reconstruction of these two magnificent temples by the new technology besides the miracle of their construction by the ancient Egyptians. If you spare a day in Aswan, I recommend you to come with me to see this breathtaking monument which has no equal in this universe.
