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.

This tour to Fayoum Oasis is an adventure you don't want to miss. Located just an hour outside of Cairo, the Fayoum Oasis has a little something for everyone. From sandboarding and camping in the desert to taking in the views of crystal blue lakes, you'll be glad you selected a trip that very few get to experience. Come with me on a tour to the Whale Valley, which is a Protected Area. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005, & contains invaluable fossils of the earliest, extinct whales. The fossils represent one of the major stories of evolution, the emergence of the whale as an ocean-going mammal from a previous life as a land-based animal. The presence of fossils of other early animals like sharks, crocodiles, saw fish and turtles makes it possible to reconstruct the surrounding environment and ecological conditions of that time (40 million years ago). Go around Wadi Rayan, a natural depression 43 meters below sea level, the waterfalls and the magic lakes.
While this is off the beaten path, this tour is a must-see. Driving off-road in the desert to go to a place that reminds you that it was once ocean is both breath-taking and sobering. The small but effective climate museum reminds us that there is more to Egypt than pyramids and tombs. Abduo was thoughtful and gave us a wealth of information. Amazing tour.
It was a delight to work with Abduo, who is well informed, articulate and has ability to connect many different things while narrating the current subject. He took us to Whale Valley, Magic Lake, Water falls, Pottery village. The trip went well. Abduo is very knowledgeable and confident and is a highly rated guide for this trip. The driver he chose was very good and gave us some exhilarating driving moments in the desert. We recommend him with no hold-backs.
Easy to arrange on line, with the pick-up and tour exactly as agreed. Abduo is knowledgable, friendly and great fun. From the moment we started we were being shown and seeing things we did not know. The chaos of the Cairo traffic to the beauty of the desert, the startling fossils and the Climate change Centre, followed by secret lakes and waterfalls were magical. The excellent fish restaurant finished the day perfectly.
A wonderful guide, a very approachable man. It was like being with an old friend. The tour was great and everything went perfectly.
