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.

One of the best parts of my tour with Doaa was her flexibility and ability to adjust plans. Due to bad weather, I arrived a day late and missed a planned GEM visit. Doaa was able to re-arrange our day, touring the GEM in the morning and Islamic Cairo in the afternoon. She even helped arrange my transfer from Giza to central Cairo as part of the tour so I wouldn’t have to double back for luggage! I loved walking through the streets of Cairo as Doaa explained the sites, giving both historical context and a look at modern life. I truly appreciated getting to know the country better. Ending our day with Koshari, traditional street food, was a treat! Doaa is a wonderful guide—knowledgeable, well organized, cheerful, and fun!

We had the pleasure of having Doaa as our tour guide and she was absolutely wonderful! From the start, she was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which made everything so much smoother. She took the time to customize our tour to perfectly fit our interests. Doaa is a natural storyteller, and her passion for Egypt’s history really brought the sites to life. We enjoyed every moment of the tour and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Egypt. She's truly a lovely person, and it was an unforgettable experience!

Doaa is an amazingly kind person and guide. My wife and I were fortunate enough to have her services for three days in Cairo and we couldnt imagine how our trip would have been without her. Doaa took us to sites we did not get a chance to see last time we were in Cairo and of course helped with any price haggling in the market and ordering our food and drink. You'll be missing out if you don't have her guiding you through the Pyramids, Coptic Cairo and the markets. We miss her already!

Doaa was an excellent guide. She is extremely knowledgeable in Egypt's Islamic history and its cultural/religious importance in Egypt today. We went to the Islamic Museum and she spoke about the creative artistry and significance of many of the antiquities on display. We visited the Tentmakers' Market and experienced some of the peoples' daily activities. As we walked, Doaa explained the preparation of many of the foods we saw and how various artists produce their beautiful creations.
