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.

When we spent three days in Cairo, we wanted to make sure that we got to see all the sights we could. Thanks to Doaa we got more than that, we got to see the sights with someone who had an amazing grasp of history and context. She explained the mythology and history behind the ancient pyramids, tombs and temples. She walked us through the Great Egyptian Museum, churches, mosques, and synagogues. It was wonderful to witness Doaa navigate us through the Khan El-Khalili with charm, good humor, and flexibility. She was even quick with additional recommendations of places to see and eat. Throughout it all she was funny, patient, and an absolute delight. We would recommend Doaa to anyone looking to make the most of their time in Egypt; she will absolutely make sure you do. We ended our trip not just with a guide, but with a dear friend in Egypt.

Doaa more than deserves her 5-star ratings. Always punctual, smiling, warm & excited to share her detailed knowledge of Cairo & Egyptian civilization. We learned so much visiting Saqqara, Memphis & Dashur-walking around pyramids, into temples, learning interesting facts about the kingdoms, pharaohs, language, art, mythology. Walking through markets of Islamic Cairo, learning about Islam in the oldest mosque, visiting working artisans & museums. Wish we could give her more stars. She is amazing!

Frankly we'd give Doaa 6 stars if we could. She is absolutely fab! Doaa is so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and reliable. Not only does she bring Ancient Egypt to life but she negotiates the craziness that is Cairo for you, introduces you to local culture and food (try the Koshery and falafel), and helps you with all elements of your trip and any issues that arise. Big shout out to Doaa's driver Usama who calmly negotiated the mad Cairo traffic for us in a very comfortable mini-bus. Six stars Doaa!

Doaa was everything anyone could want in a guide! She was so knowledgeable in all the history and could answer any questions we had thoroughly. She is so bubbly and sweet and got us the best deals on anything we wanted to buy at the markets or from any shops. She was a joy to travel with, I cannot recommend Doaa enough!

We can 100% confirm that Doaa is the best decision for a private tour of Cairo because we probably weren't among Doaa's "easiest" tourists :) Doaa speaks perfect English and - like us - values ​​punctuality, ideal organization, helpfulness, and of course, lots of fun. Doaa knows everything, and her insider tips were really helpful too. If you want to discover Cairo from its most beautiful, exciting, and mysterious side, then you need definitely Doaa :)

We very much enjoyed our time touring with Doaa. In a country where tour guiding is a popular profession, she is exceptionally qualified. She and the driver she provided took excellent care of us while navigating Cairo's congested streets and heat, and getting us through security and the gamut of souvenir sellers that surround Egypt's iconic and much visited sights. Her background commentary was fascinating and gave us a broad overview of five millennia of Egypt's turbulent history.
