Be my guest and allow me to show you our world-reknowned Egyptian hospitality Treating you as a friend I will show you that Egypt is much more than sun and sea. I'm a Alexandria NATIVE and CERTIFIED tour guide. Living in Alexandria the second largest city of the country I can easilly move to any spot in Egypt. My clients say I'm very knowledgeable and professional, but also FUN, welcoming and caring for the details. I am a professional licensed tourist guide since 2008 and I have build my experience with many kinds of groups and their demands Since then I've worked for some of the BEST local travel agencies and few LUXURY and GOURMET US agencies, and the concierges at the TOP Egypt hotels ( Sofital Cecil , Hilton , Four Season …. ) I've SPECIALIZED IN PRIVATE TOURS for couples, families and groups travelling together (friends or coworkers), and I love it! Having different people every day forces me to deliver a DIFFERENT itinerary everyday, and to adapt my explanations to different interests and styles. I've learnt to be PERSONABLE and adaptable, and I've got now many resources to make my tours FLOW. This is why I've received many thank you letters, and even some clients have become friends or have referred me to other people. I'm a TRAVELLER who that has been to many countries in Europe (Spain, England, Holland, Russia. . . ), the US (Florida, California and NYC) and the Middle East (Turkey, Tunisia, Syria). And many more places are still in my wish list! So I know what it is to be in a foreign country where you might not speak the language nor know much about the customs. And I know sometimes you want to see as much as possible, but sometimes you can be tired, sometimes you want to learn as much as possible about a place and sometimes you just need to get the feel of it. And when I travel I also don't want to feel like a tourist but rather like a traveller and I want to INTERACT with the locals and get in touch with their world If you are daring enough lets work together to design all of your trip depending on your interests and on the way you wish to move I can provide information concerning hotels , air tickets, ferry tickets etc. Transportation by tour guide: I can arrange any kind of transportation from a taxi to a bus in reasonable prices I can also arrange your Sahara excursion ( Desert trip) to enjoy Bedouins life and riding camels Country of more than 5 thousand years wait you. Come and book your seat to see the Pyramids , Sphinx, old Cairo, luxor , Aswan and Alexandria. dont miss it I am a professional licensed tourist guide since 2008 I can Guide in English and spanish language CURSOS DE Espanol (Dele B1) PARA EXTRANJEROS (desde el 30 de julio de 2012 hasta el 24 de agosto de 2012 (Universidad de Alacala- Spain)

Overview of your Cairo tour

Come with me on a tour to the Whale Valley, Wadi Rayan Protected Area and Tunis Pottery Village. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005, the Whale Valley is a strictly protected zone that 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 lakes. Join me in this tour to discover unforgettable location and making the good memories of you. I am flexible to the time tour and the program that suits you. Once you book I will be in contact with you any time for any personal needs

Your Cairo tour itinerary

- From the meeting point in Cairo, I will pick you up and we will see a wonderful location in the world: Fayoum area. Drive 1 hour and half by normal car then get on board a 4X4 land cruiser and continue our trip. - We will head to the Whale Valley upon the arrival, to show the evolution of whales. It's in this amazing valley that scientists have identified more than 400 types of whale and cow skeletons, other bones and shells and plant fossils. Some of them are preserved in soft rock. - Drive to magic lagoon for enjoying its view and playing with sand board. - By 4 *4 car we will arrive to the heigher point of the hill to see the best view of the desert and lakes. - Head to Wadi El-Rayan, a natural depression. See the beautiful lakes and waterfalls. Enjoy the spectacular scenery where deep blue waters meet yellow desert sand. - Lunch (optional). - Drive back to the hotel. This is my suggested itinerary for you, I can always customize it at your needs.
