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.

Tour guide? Choose Doaa K! Knowledgeable. Entertaining. Resourceful. Met her this February in Cairo. Every day was like traveling with a best friend who knows Egypt . . . but cares about you and your interests. Together we took in music classes for the oud, Egypt's iconic string instrument. We ate local delicacies from Nile perch to rabbit stew. We shared art and life experience. And, Doaa got us from point A to B so expertly that we made the most of our time, hitting the highlights. Wow!

Doaa took me on a wonderful customised walking tour around Cairo, we navigated the chaos of Cairo's shopping streets on a Thursday evening in a way that was fun and authentic but always felt safe, thank you!

Doaa is exceptionally knowledgeable about Egyptian history- my husband and I learned a lot from her. Even more, Doaa is a lovely human being, she is a very real asset to her country and I will remember her fondly always. Anyone would be very fortunate to have her for their guide in Cairo.
