We were four Swedes with a passion for history, and spending six full days exploring Egypt with Ereen was a wonderful experience. She guided us through El Alamein and its military history, including the battles associated with Rommel and Montgomery, as well as Alexandria, Giza, several museums—including the Grand Egyptian Museum—and Cairo’s rich Coptic, Islamic and Arab heritage. Ereen is exceptionally knowledgeable, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to put everything into perspective. She explains complex history clearly and engagingly, drawing attention to the most relevant details and connecting them to the bigger picture. In a country with such an extraordinary wealth of history and artefacts, this made all the difference: we came away with a deeper understanding of what we had seen. We wholeheartedly recommend Ereen to anyone interested in culture and history who wants to make the most of their stay in Egypt. Thank you, Ereen, for six fascinating and memorable days!
