Omran is a great communicator, passionate about Cairo history, personable, but also genuine and authentic. Qualities needed for a great guide. He also is prompt, doesn’t rush through the sites, and takes great pictures. Highly recommended

This tour was one of the best experiences we had in Egypt. Forever Egypt Tours delivered a truly exceptional day exploring Cairo in a way that felt authentic, personal, and deeply immersive. We discovered hidden parts of the city that we would never have found on our own, experienced real Egyptian daily life, and enjoyed carefully selected cultural and culinary stops that showcased the best of Cairo. Every moment felt well planned yet relaxed, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience without any stress. The Nile felucca ride was absolutely unforgettable — peaceful, scenic, and a perfect break

Had a magnificent time today with Egyptologist Mina, met us at the hotel & guided us through Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, and to the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum of Cairo. Mina carefully took time to explain the symbolism of the archaeological treasures, I’d recommend him to anyone!

This was truly one of the best experiences we had in Cairo, and Forever Egypt Tours exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, professional, and enjoyable. Our guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Egyptian history and culture. He didn’t just show us the places; he brought them to life with fascinating stories and insights. We explored hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own, which made the experience feel authentic and unique. The food experience was incredible. We tasted delicious local cuisine in care
