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.

Overview of your Alexandria tour

Early Morning, meeting point outside the harbour ( which is easier and faster than waiting inside to be escorted) and private A/C modern mini van to Cairo. The trip takes around 2 hours and 30 minutes maximum. Then we arrive in Cairo. Enjoy an excursion to visit the legendary majestic 3 main pyramids, one of them (the great one) considered one of the Old Seven Wonders, erected by Cheops (Khufu). When you finish exploring the Great Pyramids our next stop is to visit the panorama for all pyramids in this area, 9 pyramids. Then we go (by the car) to the Sphinx, guardian of the royal burial chambers and temple of Chephren. Then we go for lunch in a pyramid view restaurant. Then we proceed to the Egyptian museum in Cairo and the treasures of king tut. After that we go back to Alexandria.

Our private tour with Moustafa was exceptional. His knowledge about Egyptian history and culture brought the past alive. The added bonus of his experience as a practicing archaeologist brought perspective about how much we still don’t know and seek to discover. Moustafa is passionate about what he does, paid attention to every detail, and made us feel welcomed. Our experience with Moustafa was worth every penny and we recommend his services to everyone who visits Egypt.

Our tour guide Moustafa O. was the perfect person to spend our day with in Giza. From pick up at the cruise port in Alexandria to our return twelve hours later he provided us with the history and background - and many interesting facts - of all we were experiencing as we viewed the pyramids and the sphinx and toured the Grand Egyptian Museum. His knowledge is amazing and his personality is wonderful. It is obvious he cares deeply about his tour participants. His goal of sharing his extensive knowledge and love of his country and customs is evident in all he does. We are so pleased to have had him as our guide !

A group of 8 of us did a private Giza excursion from Port Alexandria with Moustafa. Because we had limited time due to our cruise ship’s itinerary, it was a very long and fast-paced day of sightseeing. But, Moustafa made it a wonderful experience. He had arranged a van and a driver for us. He took us to see all the highlights in Giza. Our tour even included a short camel ride. Moustafa provided us with a lot of historical information. Since he is an Egyptologist / archaeologist by profession, he also pointed out the new recent discoveries of artifacts around the pyramid site. We, by choice, had skipped lunch that day because of our time constraint. So, before our long car ride back to the port, Moustafa made a quick stop at a local kebab shop, picked up some gyros for us to enjoy in the car.

Moustafa is not just a tour gid but and archeologist-historian! We spent an incredible day traveling from Alexandria to Giza and back to cruise ship. Wonderful memories will stay with us to the rest of our lives. Thank you, Moustafa!

I would highly recommend Moustafa. He was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable about each of the sites we visited. His passion and interest in the subject was contagious. He was very flexible and with less than a days notice he changed the entire itinerary to accommodate us. Everyone that visits Egypt should ask for Moustafa to be their guide. I can't say enough good things about him. He truly loves his job and we had the best time and learned a lot in the process. He was friendly and professional.
