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 Cairo tour

Join me in this tour to discover the city of Alexander the Great where we can see the Catacombs of Kom El Shuquafa, one of the wonders of Egypt. Discovered by a donkey in 1900, the catacombs represent the largest Roman cemetery in Egypt, dating back to 2nd century A. D. Next stop will be Pompey's Pillar, which was constructed in honor of Emperor Diocletian in 293 A. D. Then we visit Quitbay fortress, which was built in the same site of the Ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. We will drive behind Mediterranean sea and taking our pictures with this wonderful view. . . We continue our tour with the library of Alexandria -the most famous library in the world- and, finally, we have our lunch in a seaview restaurant before we go back to Cairo. Since I am actually an Alexandrian citizen. I will show you all the details of my city, the history, the people, how fishermen are living here and I will choose for you the best spots for pictures. Come discover with me the secrets of Alexandria!

We had a full day tour in Alexandria, a city with atmosphere and old world charm. Youssef our guide was very talkative and knowledgeable and Tarek our driver was a lot of fun. Both were very nice and helpful all along.

We booked Youssef for our Alexandria tour on 29 April 2024. We had a lovely time in Alexandria! We rated Youssef on our previous two-day tour in Giza and Cairo. We will book him again when we visit solely Alexandria on our next trip! We highly recommend this "best of the best" tour guides!

We spent four days with Youssef in Cairo and Alexandria. He's the best! You won't be disappointed. All tours included authentic local restaurants for lunch. Have fish in Alexandria. Better than our hotel. This tour is a good addition to the Cairo tours.

Youssef was GREAT! We had a driver pick up our family of six to drive to Alexandria to meet Youssef, and he made sure to communicate the whole time, so we always knew what to expect. Once in Alexandria, Youssef did an amazing job of explaining the history and interesting facts about all of the places we went. We learned so much and had a great experience. He also was very great with time, as we had to be back to catch a flight, but the day did not feel rushed at all. Would definitely book with him again!

Dina did the French tour for Youssef. Her French and knowledge are excellent. All of our requests were taken care of and they looked after us with great friendliness. We would also like to say a big thank you to the driver. He handled the traffic superbly. Here is a feat I would never dare.

- From the meeting point in Cairo, I will pick you up and we drive to Alexandria where we can visit: 1) The Catacombs of Kom-Alshukafa The catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa (meaning "Mound of Shards") are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. The necropolis consists of a series of Alexandrian tombs, statues and archaeological objects of the Pharaonic funeral cult with Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman influences. 2) Pompey's Pillar 3) The Roman Theater This is the most complete Roman ruin in Egypt. It was a small auditorium used for listening music and the reading of poetry and dates from the 2nd century AD. Other ruins have been excavated on the site. These include a bathhouse and villas with well-preserved mosaics. 4) The Bibliotheca Alexandrina 5) Quitbay fortress 6) Coastal City Tour 7) The mosque of Abu Abass ( The most famous mosque in Alexandria) 8) Lunch At the end of the day we go back to Cairo This is my suggested itinerary for you, I can always customize it at your needs.
