Born and raised in Luxor, a city cradled by ancient temples, I've been surrounded by monuments and travelers since childhood. This sparked a lifelong fascination with Egyptology, and I knew I wanted to share this passion with others. My journey to becoming your guide wasn't just about memorizing facts. I honed my language skills—English, French, and even German—to bridge the gap between cultures. I then worked with leading tour companies, but I dreamed of a better experience for visitors. So, I delved into the world of business, studying economics and accounting. Why? Because a smooth trip is essential! Inspired by global tourism models, I even traveled to Canada to learn about exceptional customer service and food hygiene.
