Hello everyone! My name is Hamdi, and I was born and raised right here in Granada! As a child I grew up enjoying the beauty of the Alhambra and the Islamic legacy monuments of Andalucía and fell in love with its grand history and architecture. Now, I am fortunate to lead tours and share my passion for this stunning, one of a kind, world landmark. Take advantage of my comprehensive degrees in tourism, languages and history to truly get to know the city and surrounding area! I'm specialised in the Alhambra and the Great Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba. I have devoted my life to language and history studies and am eager to share my knowledge and local expertise with you! This won't be your typical tour! My goal in my tours is for history to come to life and for you to be swept away in the magical ambiance of the ancient palaces and landmarks. Granada and Córdoba are very special cities to visit in Andalusia. Both cities represent very well the beginning and the end of Al-Andalus. It has multiple UNESCO world heritage sites. Everything will invite you to fall in love, magnificent gardens, Mosques, Palaces and also enjoying the complex and fascinating history of long lost civilizations and conquerors. So tell me what you're looking for and I can customize the tour just for you! Whether it's architecture you're interested in or the ancient politics of the Old rulers, I can do it all. So come and take a tour! You'll be amazed and what you're going to see and learn! - Official touring guiding license. - Diploma in history and tourism. - Master's degree in Al-Andalus History (specialised in Granada and Córdoba). - Only official tour guide in the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba offering tours in Arabic. - Bachelor's degree in translation and interpreting. - Master's degree in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Recomiendo 100 % este tour!!! En todos los aspectos fue excelente pero lo que lo hizo especial fue el guía Hamdi. Eramos un grupo de 4 personas y el se encargó de mantenernos interesados durante todo el recorrido de la hermosa Alhambra!! Tiene vasto conocimiento y una preparación increíble pero a la vez lo hace fácil de entender. Fue muy amable, muy puntual y estuvo pendiente de todo los detalles. Excelente!!! Altamente recomendado!!!

I recently had the privilege of exploring the Alhambra with Hamdi as my guide, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Hamdi's profound knowledge of the site's history and architecture brought the entire place to life in a way I could never have imagined. His fluency in both English and Arabic made the experience incredibly enriching. Hamdi was not only well-prepared with detailed maps but also had extensive notes. His passion for the heritage and his professional approach made this tour so memorable!

Hamdi was so educational on this tour! We learned a lot and were able to soak in the Alhambra at a leisurely pace. I highly recommend Hamdi's tour. He knows the Alhambra so well and you can tell he loves doing what he does !

Hamdi was the most amazing part of our time in Spain and it was the best decision we made during our trip. Not only is he thoughtful about what pace to set for us walking through the Alhambra but also very knowledgeable. He was able to tell us all the history of the buildings as well as explain the art and read the Arabic writing incorporated into the designs throughout the site. Every question we had he could answer and he made it fun and interactive so we stayed engaged throughout the tour.

Hamdi is one of the best guides I've had. Prior to the tour he contacted us as a reminder. He is extremely knowledgeable & delivers his information conversationally, drawing you into the history. Additionally, he is well versed concerning plants, languages, religion, architecture, and in this case, the aquatic system. He has a great sense of humor which keeps interactions light yet pithy. His knowledge seems endless. He is attuned to your comfort, noting stairs or uneven pavement, and bathrooms.

I was quite worried which tour guide to pick as AlHambra is like a kingdom on its own however tour that Hamdi covered was above my expectation. The way he was walking me through the Andalusian history was very detailed. I'm a fan of Islamic art and Arabic Calligraphy so I wanted to make sure that my tour guide is well familiar with those areas. Hamdi is fluent in English, Spanish as well as Arabic. During my tour, there were Spanish speaking tour guides that asked him to translate a few words in Arabic.
