Abduo and his driver were fantastic… very informative and very safe. He was willing to tailor my trip to meet my needs and did so beautifully. I would highly recommend him when you visit Cairo.

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. Whatever questions or needs you have, I’m here with open arms. Looking forward to seeing you soon.” Abduo I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences

Abduo has distinguished himself as a great Guide in a market that is not only saturated with Guides but in constant competition for customers like me. Both Abduo and his driver were great company and the information and experiences he gave me along the way was great. I loved the choice for or afternoon meal, and tried lamb organ meats better than I found in Morocco. And I even got a bonus at the end of the tour; because we started the tour late, we were able to stick around for Pyramid light show.

We had decided to do this as a "1st day in Egypt" tour, since it wasn't too strenuous or long. It turned out to be a great choice. Abduo was a knowledgeable and fun guide and we really enjoyed the food and drinks he introduced us to.
