Alaa was a superb guide and was a true font of vast knowledge- we so appreciated her brilliant guidance and storytelling. Alaa created a bespoke tour for us and everything from her driver to ticketing was seamless and perfectly organised. Thank you Alaa!
David J.Australia
Alaa was an excellent guide. Her knowledge of ancient Egyptian history was second to none. It was also great to hear her discuss her own story and her life experiences in modern Egypt. Saqqara is a must visit for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian history and Alaa was able to explain its importance in the early development of Egypt.

My wife and I enjoyed our time with Alaa! In addition to the time and stories with these archeological treasures, Alaa provided help and answers to all of our questions about Cairo. We look forward to exploring with her again during our next trip to Egypt!
