In the heart of Cairo, where the echoes of ancient history dance through bustling streets, my journey as a tour guide began. My name is Mamoud or Houda (My Nack Name ) , and I am not just a guide—I am a passionate Egyptologist with a deep love for my homeland. My story is woven with the threads of history, culture, and a desire to share the wonders of Egypt with others. I was born and raised just south of Cairo, surrounded by the very remnants of a civilization that has fascinated the world for millennia. From a young age, the stories of pharaohs, pyramids, and the Nile River ignited my curiosity. Growing up in this rich historical landscape, I developed a profound connection to Egypt’s past and its cultural tapestry. My academic journey took me through the halls of universities, where I earned a Master’s degree in Egyptology and a PhD in Archaeology. This education not only deepened my understanding of ancient Egypt but also ignited my passion for sharing this knowledge with others. As a proud member of the Egyptian Guidance Syndicate, I am committed to providing insightful and enriching experiences for my guests. After years of working with large travel agencies, I realized my vision for guiding was different. I yearned to create a more personal and intimate experience for my guests—one that would allow them to explore Egypt at their own pace, away from the crowds. This desire led me to establish my own tours, focusing on high-end, well-organized, and relaxing itineraries that highlight the hidden gems of Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and beyond. Now, I reside in the Giza neighborhood, where I am privileged to overlook the majestic pyramids. This unique vantage point allows me to tailor tours based on my guests’ locations, optimizing our time together and enhancing the overall experience. My familiarity with Cairo’s outlying areas enables me to navigate the city effortlessly, ensuring that my guests uncover the many mysteries that lie beyond the typical tourist paths. With me as your guide, you can expect a personalized journey through Egypt’s history. I take pride in offering tours that delve into local spots often overlooked by larger agencies, allowing for a deeper connection to the culture and history of this incredible country. Together, we will skip long lines, avoid crowds, and explore at a pace that suits you. My dedicated team of colleagues and drivers are committed to making your trip memorable, ensuring that every moment is filled with wonder and discovery. Hiring me means you have the flexibility to customize your schedule, and I’ll take care of all transportation details, allowing you to focus solely on your adventure. I invite you to join me in exploring Egypt through my eyes—an experienced, fully vaccinated local guide who is eager to share the beauty and history of my country. Together, we will uncover the layers of Egypt’s past, creating lasting memories and experiences that resonate long after your visit. Let’s embark on this journey together, where every corner of Egypt tells a story, and every moment is an opportunity for discovery. Welcome to my beloved Egypt!

See a side of Cairo few visitors ever experience. On this private tour, I’ll take you beyond the tourist routes to explore two of the city’s most extraordinary communities — Garbage City and the City of the Dead. We’ll begin in Manshiyat Naser, known as Garbage City — home to a hardworking Coptic Christian community that collects and recycles much of Cairo’s waste. Amid the humble surroundings, you’ll find remarkable stories of faith, resilience, and creativity, including the stunning Cave Church of St. Simon, carved into the mountain itself. Then we’ll continue to the City of the Dead, a vast necropolis where families live among centuries-old tombs. Here, history, architecture, and daily life blend in a way that’s uniquely Egyptian — revealing how people continue to find life and light in unexpected places. This is not a tour about poverty, but about strength, community, and human spirit — an eye-opening, heartfelt journey guided with respect and care.
