Greetings, World Travelers! My name is Abduo — or Abdullah — your Egyptian Gate to history, culture, and unforgettable experiences. I am more than just an English-speaking tour guide; I am a dedicated storyteller, a guardian of heritage, and a passionate guide committed to bringing Egypt’s ancient world to life in a way that is meaningful, enjoyable, and deeply personal. My journey into the world of Egyptology began at Helwan University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Egyptology from the Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management, Guidance Dpt. in 2006. Soon after, I received my professional tour guide license and advanced my academic path with a Master’s degree in Ancient Egyptian Archaeology. . *Licensed by the Ministry of Tourism. *Member of the Egyptian General Tourist Guides syndicate (EGTGS). *Member of the Arab Tourist Guides Federation (ATGF). *Member of the World Federation of Tourist Guides Association (WFTGA). I began my career in 2007, working with respected international travel companies such as Viking, Gate 1 Travel, TUI Travel, and Thomas Cook. These experiences helped shape my professional approach—grounded in accuracy, hospitality, and a genuine passion for sharing Egypt with the world. For many years, I have worked as a freelance tour guide, designing and leading customized private tours across Egypt. Each tour is crafted to blend expert knowledge with warm, authentic human connection. I believe that every traveler deserves a unique journey—one that is informative, comfortable, and filled with moments to remember. In 2020, I proudly joined Tours By Locals, offering guests carefully curated experiences that reveal both the grandeur of Ancient Egypt and the vibrant life of modern-day Egypt. Whether you are visiting the Great Pyramids for the first time or returning to explore hidden gems, my mission is simple: to open Egypt’s doors for you with professionalism, passion, and a genuine love for sharing this extraordinary land. * Dear guests, once you’re in Egypt, you’re no longer just visitors—you’re part of my family.

Abduo was a fantastic guide. We had a very limited window for our Cairo layover and he met us at the airport at 7:00 AM on a Saturday morning and whisked us out to see the pyramids and Sphinx. He was very knowledgeable and shared so much information about the history and culture of Egypt along the way. We also stopped by the Amr ibn al-As Mosque, the oldest in Egypt, for an impromptu visit there since we had a few extra minutes. We got back to the airport with plenty of time to spare. It was a great low-stress, but fast-paced morning excursion that checked a big item off of our bucket list. Thank you Abduo!!

We are more than satisfied with using the tours by locals site. It was all very easy and Abdou was amazing. We only know now how impossible it would have been to navigate Cairo on our own. And Abdou was more than a guide. He's a historian that gave us great insights to the pharaohs and he even picked us up at the airport! He brought along his driver Mohamed so he was able to point landmarks out along our ride. He also worked with us and customized our tour to our needs. A big thanks to both Abdou!!!
