Miriam
Aug 13, 2025Great tour guide Ibrahim was such a great tour guide! He went out of his way to make sure that our group would get the best possible experience. He would make sure we would be early to beat the crowds at the sites as well as to beat the heat. It made for early mornings, but it was totally worth it for all of us as it made for exceptional experiences arriving early at the sites. Ibrahim’s knowledge of the history and culture of Egypt is insane. He is a walking encyclopedia. Our questions were welcomed and explained in way we could all understand. I came away with so much information on Egypt’s history, culture and people. Ibrahim made a point of having us experience Egyptian cuisine, which is essential to any cultural immersion. The restaurants were amazing, and he encouraged us to try new foods every time. Eating local is the best way to experience a country. We had a birthday in our group and Ibrahim made all the arrangements for dinner along with a special surprise for the person. We definitely had our laughs with him. I highly recommend!
