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.

AMAZING!! Moustafa was so good. He informs you on the things you want to see without overwhelming you with needless info. He is incredibly knowledgable and fun to be around. My wife, son and I spent 3 days with him and it made our trip one of the most amazing trips we have ever had. We will be back.

We can't say enough great things about Mustafa and his driver Beba. What a fantastic 3 days we spent together. They were both very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we felt safe and at home in Cairo. Started off with GEM, did Pyramids and finished with the City of the Dead and Pharoh's museum. My wife's luggage got lost flying from TZ and Mustafa even leveraged a friend at the airport to track it down and get it back to us. What a great guide and person. What I loved the most about him was his willingness and desire to make sure we not only knew about the sights but fed us the culture of Cairo and it's people. We got a great flavor for it and we can't say enough great things about him!

We had an amazing experience in Cairo, all thanks to our guide, Moustafa, and driver, Bebo. Moustafa is so knowledgeable, communicative, and flexible, which made the whole experience feel easy and personalized. We learned so much about the history and culture, and he answered every single question we threw at him, even the random, hypothetical ones, with so much detail and enthusiasm. We visited the pyramids, Saqqara, Memphis, Coptic Cairo, and the alabaster mosque. He really brought everything to life in a way that stuck with us. After Cairo, we had other guides on our trip, and we kept comparing them to Moustafa…and no one even came close. His depth of knowledge and overall approach just set the bar so high.

I had the pleasure of spending three days in Cairo and Memphis with Moustafa, and he couldn’t have been a better guide – incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and fun to spend time with. His expertise on all topics in archaeology and Egyptology is incredible. His passion for Egyptology shows, as he takes great pride in sharing the stories of his beloved homeland. Amazing. I couldn’t be happier with my tours, and I have Moustafa to thank. I look forward to my next visit to Egypt so I can spend more time with him. Book your tour with Moustafa – You won’t be disappointed!

We really enjoyed our 2 day tour in Cairo. Moustafa was very informative during our tour and communicative prior to it. We learned so much. Our driver was also excellent. Driving in Cairo is an adventure in itself and he made us feel very safe. Would absolutely recommend!

Choosing Mustafa as our guide was the best decision we made for our trip; his two-day tour was nothing short of extraordinary. Mustafa is intensely knowledgeable and passionate about history, but what truly sets him apart is his active involvement in archaeological work, providing unique, firsthand insights into historical aspects that typical guides simply miss. He structured our two days perfectly, filling them with exciting and fascinating stories of ancient Egypt. Beyond the deep historical dive, we appreciated his willingness to discuss modern Egyptian dynamics, giving us a wonderfully well-rounded context of the country both past and present. Mustafa is also incredibly respectful and attentive, ensuring our comfort and meticulously answering every single question. Every element of the tour was exceptionally well-arranged and of high quality, greatly exceeding our expectations.
