You know you're with the Best when you have other tour guides saying you're with the best. Ahmed seems to know everyone and puts you at ease. Its like being with a family memeber that has a passion for this history of the area and it really is able to explain so much to you, that you leave with more knowledge. You wont regret choosing ahmed!

Ahmed is a great amazing Egyptologist, Even when we crossed paths with another local guide, they would tell us, "Abu is the best." Friendly, fun, and with a perfect English speaking, he personalized the tour to our interests, captivating the whole family. I only can recommend him as the best guide we ever booked visiting Egypt!
