Hello, my name is Moustafa, I am an English speaking tour guide, professional Egyptologist, graduated from faculty of archaeology, Egyptology section, Cairo university, ( not easy to join this faculty, since Egypt recently interested to raise a new generation of archaeologists to excavate, dig, and write about ancient Egypt. Honestly, Am looking for those, who want to learn about Ancient Egypt, how they lived, acted, their society..., together we mix both history we know with the new research and the new excavations. I specialize in customizing tours all over Egypt and the new excavations, since I am already working on that. Most of my tours are couples and families, so you can ask freely and you will find your answers with me. I do tours in Cairo (Pyramids, museums, Islamic, Coptic), quick trips from Alexandria to Cairo, day trips to Cairo, overnight in Cairo, generally all kinds of Cairo and Giza trips (1 day to 5 days trip), Luxor, Aswan, cruises between Luxor & Aswan, and, of course, all Alexandria tours, Alfayoum tours, etc. Your smallest wish is my desire ! Safety and comfort come first, I never drive and guide at the same time, I hire A/C vans with licensed drivers from the Ministry of Tourism. I will provide the new research, the new and different theories according to the SCAN projects, diggings and the new excavations. I finished my Masters in Egyptology, doing my PHD now, reading & writing ancient Egyptian languages (Hyroglyph+ Demotic + Heratic +Coptic). Furthermore, in the summertime, I work at various archaeological digs and I teach students in my faculty, the Egyptology, the Hieroglyphs, and how to dig. I Finished my Masters Degree, and about to finish my PHD soon. Member of the Supreme council of digging in Sakkara & Dahshour. Licensed tour guide (English/Italian)from the Egyptian ministry of tourism & member in the Egyptian general tourist guides syndicate (EGTGS). Member in the Supreme council of the underwater monuments ( Cleopatra city).. Working on the new excavations by the Supreme council of antiquities since I'm an expert Egyptologist. My pleasure to guide you! I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experience.

Our tour with Moustafa was excellent. Our 1st day was to Alexandria where he showed us the key sites and provided in-depth background on each. The drive from Cairo to Alexandria was fascinating see the long stretches of desert. He planned out our custom itinerary for our 2nd day activities to visit the GEM, Coptic Quarter and NMEC and guided us through the most important areas. His depth of history and archeology knowledge was just what we wanted in this tour. Want a custom tour to the desert or archeological site, I bet he can accomodate you. We recommend him highly as your guide.

Moustafa plans the best tours and I'm always thrilled to find out he's available when my clients are travelling. They always come back raving over their time with him, his attention to detail, friendliness and knowledge.

Mustafa is a superb guide—friendly, knowledgeable, well organized, punctual, and deeply attentive to his guests’ needs/wishes. He created a superb itinerary for us. As he got to know us, he spontaneously added experiences that reflected our interests, giving the trip a sense of discovery & delight. Every activity was thoughtfully chosen and beautifully executed. Trained as an Egyptologist—and a practicing archaeologist outside tourist season—he brings ancient sites to life with colorful facts & intriguing (sometimes competing) theories. His driver is also friendly & professional-they made every transfer smooth & stress-free. Without Mustafa’s careful planning and flexibility we couldn’t possibly have seen and done half as much. We always felt safe and well cared for. By the end of our journey, we counted Mustafa as a friend—we’re already planning our next trip to Egypt with him

Moustafa did a custom tour for us. We learned so much about the different sites! The Coptic area we really enjoyed and going into the different pyramids and Moustafa pointed out several interesting facts. Thanks for a fabulous 2 days!!

We had an incredible 2 days in Cairo. Moustafa was a perfect combination of educational and entertaining. His knowledge of the area allowed us to make the most of our time there. He was easy to get to know and stories gave us an even deeper understanding of the Egyptian culture. There is always a fear of the unknown along with the excitement of seeing a new place. We truly felt that Moustafa made us comfortable from the time of booking until final drop off. Highly recommend booking through him.

Moustafa was passionate, knowledgeable and excellent English communicator. We were never rushed. We had plenty of time to talk during our three hour drive down to Giza Pyramids and back. He explained various Egyptian traditions, pointed out spots of interest and fielded lots of questions. It was extremely interesting discussing, comparing and contrasting our belief systems. His driver Ali provided door to door service for all attractions visited. I really believe when you are visiting a bucket list site like the pyramids, using someone like Moustafa to guide you is the way to go. You have invested a lot of money to go on this trip, why risk not enjoying it with a large charter bus tour that herds you quickly through sites with no personalization? And you know some other inconsiderate persons will talk over the large group tour guide. Book Moustafa instead!
