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!
