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.

Doaa is a lovely woman and an exceptional guide . Our group of 4 felt sorry to leave her at the end of the tour and wished we had an extra day to explore Cairo with her. We were lucky to have met Doaa, it was a perfect day.

We arrived in Cairo for a river cruise and had some time to fill so we connected with Doaa. After sharing our cruise itinerary with her, she created a custom tour for us. She was absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed learning about her daily life and culture. She was great at keeping the local vendors from getting too aggressive with us and helped us with some shopping (what a super bargain shopper). Most importantly, she showed so much kindness to my wife and I and we appreciated that very much!

Doaa is a true professional. Of course, she is very knowledgeable about Egypt. However, much of this knowledge one can access from books/websites before traveling. What I appreciated more was her ability to respond to specific questions and engage in meaningful discussions (after all, that is why one hires a *private* guide). I especially appreciated her flexibility for my very short and complicated program. Last but not least, she is a true "host" in Egypt, not just a guide. Absolutely recommend!

We enjoyed our two days with Doaa very much. She is quite knowledgeable about Egypt and its history. She took great care to insure we were comfortable and interested in the sites she showed us and the history she shared. In addition, she openly gave us a glimpse into her life in modern Egypt and showed curiosity about our lives. In addition, she encouraged us to explore modern Egypt as well as ancient Egypt. Doaa gave us everything we were looking for, plus more.

Doaa was wonderful. She took care of our agency's clients and was consistently in touch with me before their arrival into Cairo and throughout their stay. She was so thorough and was completely flexible in customizing their tour and time. We had some special requests and she was very accommodating. Most of all, it was apparent she deeply cares about her work and the experience she wants to create for her clients. I felt like I was working with a good friend and neighbor. The clients were very happy.
