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 Cairo tour

Ever since I was a child, I used to do this tour with my family during winter and summer time. Enjoy sitting in A/C van watching the roatds, highways and different areas. Let me show you the wonders of Egypt, from an Egyptologist view point doing excavations with the Supreme Council of Antiquities. Explore the difference in culture between Cairo and Alexandria, even the sites and artifacts. We visit Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, the valley temple, Saqqara, the new excavations, Memphis, the ancient Capital and talk about what we are excavating for now. Another day we do museums, citadel, the alabaster mosque beside the ancient churches. Then it is time to do an overday to Alexandria and visit the Catacombs of Kom El Shokafa, the amphitheatre, the new library, site of the ancient lighthouse which is Quitbey citadel now. It is a highly recommended tour for those who are interested to do as much as possible in a short time.

Five-Star Review for Moustafa "We were incredibly lucky to select Moustafa as our guide for our recent trip to Egypt. There were four of us, and he provided an exceptional three-day tour, including a fantastic trip to Alexandria. Moustafa is a working Egyptologist with deep historical knowledge and a true gift for education, making complex history accessible and engaging. Beyond his expertise, he showed us remarkable care and attention throughout. He even met us at the airport the day before our tour began and arranged for an incredible driver with a spacious, comfortable van for our group. Do not look elsewhere—it would be crazy to pick any other guide. Five stars!"

Moustafa is a wonderful guide who is passionate about his city, ancient Egypt, and making sure his guests have a great visit. We toured with him for four days and could have spent many more exploring all that the Cairo area had to offer. Everything was arranged well and he filled our days just as we asked with making suggestions as we went for other things to explore. If we could have given him ten stars we would have. When we come back, Moustafa will be our guide once again!

If I could give more than five stars I would. Myself, husband and our young daughter did the three day tour with Moustafa (and his driver Iman) and it was an incredible experience. Moustafa, being an Egyptologist and Archeologist, has incredible knowledge that we would have never known if he wasn’t our guide. He gives you the small details that matter and it makes the biggest difference in the experience. He is patient, kind and funny too! Everything went so smoothly and timely and Iman is the best driver in Egypt and he is so kind. We even teared up a little when our time was over because we just felt so connected to Egypt and we can’t wait to come back for more! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I’ve worked with many guides but I never leave reviews, partly due to my busy schedule and partly because I’m usually not very impressed. This isn’t necessarily the guides’ fault; I am highly educated and well prepared for my trips, so I’m often better informed than the guide about the history and art of the places I visit. However, I felt compelled to make an exception for Mustafa and I’m writing this review because I didn’t want his outstanding service to go unrecognized. He is deeply knowledgeable, genuinely kind, and has a great sense of timing knowing when to be an enjoyable companion and when to step into the role of a serious scholar (he’s currently pursuing a PhD in archaeology). Furthermore, we had very interesting conversations about Egyptian society (daily life, traditions and values). Last but not least, the driver Mustafa worked with was also kind, professional and helpful.

Great 3 day tour of Cairo and Alexandria. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the areas we visited and was able to give us valuable information and answer our questions with thought out answers based on his vast experience and knowledge. The driver that he hired was able to safely navigate the streets of Cairo and Egypt. I would highly recommend anyone that wants a great to to bool with Moustafa. It was really good that he hired a separate driver so that he could concentrate on the tour and us and not driving us.
