Be my guest and allow me to show you our world-reknowned Egyptian hospitality Treating you as a friend I will show you that Egypt is much more than sun and sea. I'm a Alexandria NATIVE and CERTIFIED tour guide. Living in Alexandria the second largest city of the country I can easilly move to any spot in Egypt. My clients say I'm very knowledgeable and professional, but also FUN, welcoming and caring for the details. I am a professional licensed tourist guide since 2008 and I have build my experience with many kinds of groups and their demands Since then I've worked for some of the BEST local travel agencies and few LUXURY and GOURMET US agencies, and the concierges at the TOP Egypt hotels ( Sofital Cecil , Hilton , Four Season …. ) I've SPECIALIZED IN PRIVATE TOURS for couples, families and groups travelling together (friends or coworkers), and I love it! Having different people every day forces me to deliver a DIFFERENT itinerary everyday, and to adapt my explanations to different interests and styles. I've learnt to be PERSONABLE and adaptable, and I've got now many resources to make my tours FLOW. This is why I've received many thank you letters, and even some clients have become friends or have referred me to other people. I'm a TRAVELLER who that has been to many countries in Europe (Spain, England, Holland, Russia. . . ), the US (Florida, California and NYC) and the Middle East (Turkey, Tunisia, Syria). And many more places are still in my wish list! So I know what it is to be in a foreign country where you might not speak the language nor know much about the customs. And I know sometimes you want to see as much as possible, but sometimes you can be tired, sometimes you want to learn as much as possible about a place and sometimes you just need to get the feel of it. And when I travel I also don't want to feel like a tourist but rather like a traveller and I want to INTERACT with the locals and get in touch with their world If you are daring enough lets work together to design all of your trip depending on your interests and on the way you wish to move I can provide information concerning hotels , air tickets, ferry tickets etc. Transportation by tour guide: I can arrange any kind of transportation from a taxi to a bus in reasonable prices I can also arrange your Sahara excursion ( Desert trip) to enjoy Bedouins life and riding camels Country of more than 5 thousand years wait you. Come and book your seat to see the Pyramids , Sphinx, old Cairo, luxor , Aswan and Alexandria. dont miss it I am a professional licensed tourist guide since 2008 I can Guide in English and spanish language CURSOS DE Espanol (Dele B1) PARA EXTRANJEROS (desde el 30 de julio de 2012 hasta el 24 de agosto de 2012 (Universidad de Alacala- Spain)

Excellent tour. Guide showed up on time and driver was fantastic. Youssef is very knowledgeable and accommodating. He gave us 110%!

We had a very good day with Youssef and his driver. Youssef does a great job of explaining the sites and avoiding the bus crowds (by communicating with the bus guides and adjusting the order of visiting the main sites). He was very kind with my mother who suffers from some limitation of movement but still likes to get out and see things. And he accomodated the requests of our friends to take them somewhere to try dates and other local treats. A good day!

Yousef, our guide and Sayed, our driver were extremely helpful and adaptable to our needs for our tour. We experienced a more authentic tour of Egypt. It included an optional lunch of barbecued chicken, saffron rice, 6 different appetizers, and Egyptian type of light bread for scooping the sauces. The place was a combination butcher shop and restaurant. My memorable memory was Yousef guiding me down the steps of the catacombs. The walls had motifs that were influenced from Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology. We had keepsakes made of silver with our names and family members spelled out in Egyptian hieroglyphic alphabet which are known as a cartouche.

Our tour with Youssef El-Samar was an excellent experience. He and his driver were very experienced and competent. They were prompt and professional. Youssef had good tips and ideas for us so that we saw as much as possible in our three days In Alexandria. It was fun getting to know the city from someone who was local. Youssef has a warm and cheerful personality. He represented the people of Egypt well. Our third day, he took us to el-Alamein which is out of the way and very worthwhile. Shokran.

5 star day with Youssef in Alexandria. He arranged a driver to pick us up at our Cairo hotel. Easy drive to Alexandria where he joined us. Saw many sites and he gave us good info about each. Very personable and flexible.

Thank you to our wonderful tour guide yussef who was waiting on time with a big comfortable van and excellent driver. We saw all the highlights of Alexandria and insight into the lives of the residents. ( I will say tours by locals should have informed us again just before tour of meeting point). Last time I was told was 3 months ago. Be prepared for heavy traffic but a well informed guide and comfy car got us to the highlights in 4-5 hours. THANK YOU YUSSEF!
