Hi, I'm Mina! As a professional licensed Egyptologist with memberships in the Egyptian General Tourist Guides Syndicate (EGTGS) and the World Federation of Tourist Guide Association (WFTGA), it is my privilege to share with you what I've come to love and respect for over 13 years. In my guiding career, I have had the pleasure to guide groups to all attractive parts and destinations in the whole country showing our way of life and culture and letting them get involved by themselves. I have the qualifications to make you love Egypt as it is meant to be experienced. I love to guide combining a mixture of entertainment, making history come alive, sharing interesting facts about the present society, fun anecdotes about everyday life and love of my home city! To me, it is very important that my guests have a great time and at the same time get to learn about Egypt and the Egyptian lifestyle. I prefer to prepare individual itineraries for my guests instead of package tours. I usually ask people about their interests, ideas and even dreams. So share your questions, ideas and concerns with me and I'll try to make your trip amazing and memorable! Families and seniors are welcome to be my guests. Remember: you come as a guest but you leave as a friend. I work as an excvator and conservator for ministry of antiquities of Egypt because I have a master dgree in this field.

In this tour will will make your dreams come true to visit one of the seven wonders of the ancient world which is the Great Pyramid in Giza to see how this great building was built around 4600 years ago. It has more than 2 millions limestones, each around 3 ton to 60 ton kilograms! It is really a miracle to think how the Ancient Egyptians built it. After enjoying the stories about that we will visit the Sphinx and then we will visit Sakkara which is the oldest place in Egypt to see the oldest building on the earth built out of limestone. I have a very nice experience of excavation at Sakkara and am still working there because we believe that what we discovered is just less than 30% of what is still under the sand! Yes! We say Sakkara is pure mastery and a lot of secrets are still hidden under the sand.
Mina is a great tour guide very knowledgable of Egypt history and Cairo sightseeings. He was on time and waiting for us in the airport. He recommended and carried out the most efficient tour in Cairo based on our interests. Everything was arranged very smoothly. He was so kind to even help us with things out of the tour plan such as arranging a very comfortable CPR test which we needed for our return flight. I have no hesitate to recommend him for any tour in and around Cairo.
Mina is a phenomenal tour guide. His ability to share complex information in a manner that personalized and easily understood is fantastic. He had interesting explanations and insights for all of the stops on our tour and went out of his way to show us some extra hidden gems. He is very knowledgeable and is clearly an expert in his field. His command of the English language is excellent. If I ever make it back to Egypt Mina will be the first person I call.
Our family loved our tours with Mina all over Cairo. We saw everything that we wanted to see, his communication was excellent and stories were very interesting. We will absolutely book with Mina again. Thank you!
- Morning, we will start with a visit to the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Pyramid which is considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. - After that we will drive to Saqqara which is the first city of the dead in the ancient Egyptian time. It's the oldest place in Egypt, and that means oldest place in the world, and there is the Step Pyramid which is considered the very first pyramid in Egypt and I will show you some of the excavation still ongoing at Sakkara. Any particular preferences you may have, please let me know.
