As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a tour guide. Hi there! My name is Doaa, and I'm an Egyptologist and a private English-speaking tour guide in Egypt. I found out my fondness for history at a very young age. After I finished high school, I decided to study history, civilization and archeology at Cairo University. Following the completion of my college degree, I worked as a curator in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo at the King Tut section, the jewelry room, and one of the royal palace museums for a couple of years but it became apparent to me that this was not what I aimed for so, I decided to pursue a different professional path and I studied in the faculty of tourism and guidance for two years while working in the museum. The moment I received my guiding license, I decided to leave my job and started a new job as a guide, commencing the initial move in the direction of my dream. More importantly, I am licensed under the Ministry of Tourism under number 4998 and I am a member of the Egyptian General Tourist Guides Association under number 5405. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to serve as a guide, as it allows me to interact with people from all corners of the globe. Through these encounters, I have formed meaningful friendships with people hailing from diverse countries. My ultimate goal is to provide my fellow travelers, whom I consider cherished friends, with a deep understanding of Egypt's rich history, vibrant culture, remarkable civilization, local way of life, and intricate details spanning from antiquity to the present day. I am extremely adaptable and laid-back when it comes to change. My primary objective is to acquaint my travelers with the rich culture and captivating history of each destination they visit. I go above and beyond to ensure a worry-free experience throughout your tours. It brings me great joy to pamper and indulge my travelers. I possess an unwavering passion for sharing my knowledge with others. Embracing change is second nature to me, as each day presents unique opportunities. I am highly flexible, tailoring the itinerary to match the interests and preferences of my travelers. Maintaining a fun and optimistic atmosphere is paramount, as we should embrace life to the fullest and share that joy with others. Additionally, I have honed my photography skills and take pride in capturing memorable moments. I possess self-awareness, exude confidence as a leader, and excel as a captivating storyteller. Safety remains a top priority for all travelers under my guidance. I have had the privilege of working in various locations across Egypt. Allow me to design a tailor-made itinerary that offers flexibility and precision, resulting in an unforgettable holiday in Egypt perfectly suited to your desires. Due to my profound passion and extensive expertise in Egypt, encompassing its rich history, vibrant culture, and notable figures, I've had the privilege of guiding and assisting families, groups, and individuals in recent years. If you're looking in your tours for some flexibility, fun, and professionalism, then I am here at your service. I have already set itineraries to give you some ideas of the different wide destinations and resorts in Egypt. It would be my pleasure to assist you in customizing an itinerary that perfectly aligns with your specific time constraints, interests, and budget. I possess the capability to arrange a wide range of itineraries in prominent locations such as Cairo, Giza, Saqqara, Memphis, Dahshur, Medium, Alexandria, Al Fayum, Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel. I can help and guide you to any place in Egypt. It is important to note that Egypt possesses not only its renowned ancient Pharaonic civilization but also a multitude of sites influenced by Greek, Roman, Christian, Jewish, Islamic periods, and beyond. There is a wealth of diverse experiences to explore. Please inform me of your specific interests, and I will eagerly await your response, ready to assist you further! Licensed guide with memberships in the Egyptian General Tourist Guides Syndicate (# 4498) and the WFTGA. I am also an Egyptologist graduated from Cairo University, Hotels and Tourism section.

Doaa was such a wonderful guide. She is friendly, energetic and passionate about the things she shared. She has vast knowledge of Egyptian history from ancient times to more recent and gave us a three day tour that masterfully walked through all of it as we toured many sites. She was flexible, had great local recommendations and planned the tours very well. Highly recommended!

Our tours (we booked 3) with Doaa ware fantastic. She is a warm and outgoing person and went over and beyond to accommodate all our needs. We learned a lot about Egypt's history - from ancient times till now. She was such a great and knowledgeable guide. Thanks to her we felt in Cairo safe and like at home. From walking Old Town to visiting the Pyramids to eating in local restaurants. We were fortunate to meet her and miss her already. Highly recommended!

Doaa provided a wonderful experience as we learned about Coptic Egypt. Her knowledge of all things was boundless. Doaa has broad and deep knowledge that provided excellent context for the stops on our trip. The van and driver were top-notch and moved us easily through the hectic Cairo traffic. The travel through the garbage community was unique. Our walks through the various markets was eye-opening. Doaa provided a very special experience.

Doaa was happy to tailor this tour to my preferences e.g. visiting the Coptic Museum & not the garbage area. She was very informative regarding the history of Cairo (the amount of detail could even be overwhelming sometimes! I was glad I'd done a little prior research). She is intelligent, and her English comprehension is excellent, allowing good communication (unlike some guides who can't stray far from their "script"). Highly recommended if you have interest in history & culture.
