Mostapha Kamal Licensed Tour Guide & Egyptologist . I’ve been working as a tour guide since the end of 2009 – around 16 years of experience so far. Licensed by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism & The Egyptian General Tourist Guides Syndicate . Born and raised in Alexandria. History and storytelling have always been part of who I am. For me, guiding is not just about visiting places – it’s about creating moments that stay with you long after the journey ends. I work across Cairo, Giza, Alexandria, Luxor, and Aswan. Every tour is private, flexible, and designed around you – not a script. Need something special? Luxury or budget – I can build your perfect trip. Just tell me what you want. Supported by my wife, and inspired by my children Elias & Elora, I bring care, balance, and genuine connection to every tour. Send me a message. Let’s plan your Egyptian adventure together.

Overview of your Cairo tour

Discover the best of historic Cairo in one day – with lunch included. Start at Salah El Din Citadel, a medieval fortress that ruled Egypt for 700 years. Inside, visit the stunning Mohamed Ali Mosque (Alabaster Mosque) with its magnificent alabaster walls and dome. Then travel to Old Cairo to visit the Hanging Church (El Muallaqa), built above an ancient Roman fortress gate, and the Church of St. Sergius (Abu Serga), where the Holy Family is believed to have stayed. Enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a quality local restaurant (included in the price). End your day at Khan El Khalili, Cairo's most famous bazaar, for shopping and tea at El Fishawy café. Your comfort is my priority. Includes private AC vehicle, professional driver, local guide, and lunch. Entrance fees extra.
