Alaa had responded specifically to the needs my brother and I desired in a private tour for two seniors. Importantly we desired not to visit the expected tourist sites, but rather experience and discover the Egyptian people and culture of everyday life. Our major cruise company would be covering “the big sites.” We focused on the shopping souk, its area, plus dinner per our hopes. Alaa is knowledgeable and articulate in both history and current affairs. Her driver and his van were first rate. After independently walking to a destination his van would be there to move us to our next area of experiences. We highly recommend Alaa.

Alaa was fantastic. She covered a lot in the day and added a quick tour of the Egyptian Museum. I highly recommend this tour with Alaa. She is extremely knowledgeable and interesting. We never could have covered all these sites ourselves in one day.

Alaa provided a marvelous day of touring the Citadel, the old Coptic area and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization for us. She was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. We had a thoroughly educational day without feeling being rushed. I highly recommend her for any tours she offers.

Alaa was an outstanding guide. I arrived in Cairo a day early before I began a group retreat in Egypt. She was accommodating with my time and what I wanted to do. I would highly recommend her and a guide in general to see the sights in Egypt, it's definitely worth it. The best part of the trip was that it felt like we were old friends and she was showing me her city. I will book her again when I return.

Alaa was excellent, she was punctual, knowledgeable and very friendly and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Alaa to anyone seeking to tour the Cairo area. The driver that she used was excellent also and that is important in Cairo. Our group of 6 enjoyed every minute of the tour.
