Hello everyone, My name is Radwa. I have been working as an English-speaking guide since 2007, and have guided groups and individuals all over Egypt. I do all kinds of tours in pyramids, museums, churches, etc. On my tours, I try to show you the real life of Egyptians, introducing culture and traditions present in the country. I love my profession and doing my best in it every time. It was my life dream to be a tour guide, for I like history and languages. Although it is my full time job, I also consider it my hobby too, since I genuinely enjoy it. Meeting and dealing with different people may be challenging for some, but for me it is very interesting. For example, I love trying new food from other countries and you can trust that I'll help you taste authentic egyptian food in mine. If you are looking for special tour and an awesome experience you should contact me! Licensed Guide. Over 15 years of experience. 4 year studies in Archaeology & History. I am a licensed English-tour guide and will join you inside any sites. I am not a driver. I accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. Tailor-made tours are available.

Overview of your Cairo tour

The Saqqara Pyramid, the oldest complete stone structure in the world, was designed by a very famous and respected architect, Imhotp, who is even mentioned in the popular movie The Mummy Returns. In the same area, you'll also have the opportunity to go inside other pyramids (which I highly recommend), where you'll get to see their own sacred scriptures, called Pyramid Text. The Dahshur Pyramids were built by father of Keops, the owner of the Great Pyramid in Giza, which goes to show that these are older than the Giza Pyramids. The Dahshur Pyramids actually served as an architectural reference to build all the pyramids that came after them, so it's of incredible significance to see the first actual carried out attempts to make a triangular pyramid, one of these being the actual oldest in the world. One of these pyramids, which we call "the bent one", was actually closed for 40 years, and after it opened I had the wonderful opportunity to enter inside it, which I will never forget (or perhaps even do again).
