Helpful guide covered a lot of history in the time. The guide had a lot of local stores as a part of the itinerary. Please ensure to clear it out at the beginning whether you are interested.

Our Guide was amazing as he took the time to show us everything and tell us the history - extremely knowledgeable guide and friendly. I would recommend this tour but be advised, you will stop at many locations to see various “local” heritage which in reality is just for you to buy items and the guide to make a commission. You can just say no to buying but they will make stop

Ehab is a knowledge repository as he is not only an egyptologist but also an archaelogist. He explained each and everything without even being asked. He is epitome of patience and let us explore Sakkara and Memphis as much as we liked. We were lucky to have him as he explained everything by taking us through the pyramids, tombs and museums and then let us explore. With him you just expect knowledge and no nonsense, yet he was courteous enough to take our pictires when we asked. It was an unforgettable experience.
