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)

Overview of your Alexandria tour

After the British had inflicted severe defeats on the Italian forces in North Africa, the German general Erwin Rommel was chosen commander of Axis forces in Libya (February 1941). In January 1942 his forces started a new drive eastward along the North African coast to seize the Suez Canal. After losing Benghazi in January, the British held the Germans in check until May. Then the German and Italian forces were able to destroy most of the British tank force, take Tobruk, and move eastward into Egypt, reaching the British defenses at El-Alamein on June 30, 1942. Rommel attacked this line on July 1, but the next day the British commander, Gen. Claude Auchinleck, counterattacked, and a battle of attrition developed. By mid-July Rommel was still at El-Alamein, blocked, and had even been thrown on the defensive, thus ending the first battle. The British had stopped his drive to overrun Egypt and seize the canal. Allied losses for this first battle amounted to some 13, 250 killed or wounded of 150, 000 troops

Youssef was a wonderful guide. He arranged for us to be picked up from our hotel in Cairo and met us in Alexandria for a guided tour. He was informative and managed to let us see the highlights without clashing with passengers from a cruise and dropped us off at our hotelHe gave excellent advice for our free day and on our final day picked us up from our hotel, drove us to El Alamein. Again he was full of details, showing us things on the way as well. After the tour he drove us to the airport, a huge day for him!! We thought he was fantastic- highly recommend his services. We should have taken up his offer of a minibus for the trip to El Alamein and the airport. His SUV is really for 3 adults ( and we were four)

Without your help I would not have been able to visit the cemetery and headstone of my granduncle who was killed near the Libyan border in World War Two. Thanks for arranging this for me.

Youssef has a great deal of knowledge about the Battle and the History. It is a very emotional experience, as the German, Italian and Commonwealth memorials remind us of what it took to make all men free in the World.

Youssef is flexible and very accommodating. This was a long day as we had arranged for Youssef to drive us back to Cairo. El Alamein was an important history stop for me as I wanted to learn more about the battles taking place here. We made several stops. Youssef had a lot of information to share and is very pleasant.

I have an interest in history in general and WWII in particular and thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The museum is nice, and the three very different cemeteries were each interesting in their own way. We were in Cairo, and so spent 3 hours driving to El Alamein and 3 hours driving back. Some people might not want to spend so much time driving. It would be much better to leave from Alexandria. Youssef is knowledgeable, competent and accommodating. I would recommend him and the tour.
