Egypt was incredible, and the experience was made even better by the thoughtful planning. We loved discovering the ancient sites and experiencing the culture along the way.

This was my second trip to Egypt. My first visit was with a group of seven, but this time I traveled solo. Both experiences were exceptional, and I already know I’ll be returning. Whenever I come back to Egypt, I’ll be booking with Samir and requesting Mohammed as my guide. One of the most important parts of traveling for me is learning about the local history, culture, and traditions. Mohammed is, without question, the most knowledgeable and passionate guide I’ve ever had. His depth of knowledge is remarkable, and he has an incredible ability to bring every historical site to life with fascinating stories, context, and details. If you’re someone who enjoys truly understanding the places you visit rather than simply seeing them, Mohammed is the guide you want by your side. Transportation was flawless on both trips. Every pickup and drop off was punctual, professional, and well organized. I never had to wait, and as a solo traveler I felt completely safe throughout my journey. Navigating Cairo can be overwhelming, so having an experienced driver and a reliable team made all the difference. Samir and his staff consistently exceeded my expectations by making every aspect of the trip smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality are the reasons I’ll continue choosing them for future visits. I can’t wait to return to Egypt and explore even more incredible destinations with Samir, Mohammed, and the rest of the team.

We recently booked a family tour with We Know Egypt, and they made our entire trip smooth, enjoyable, and completely stress-free. Traveling with both a senior and a young child can often present logistical challenges, but the team handled everything with incredible care, making the whole experience nice and easy for everyone in our group. Our itinerary included visits to the Pyramids, two fascinating museums, and the vibrant local market—and every single stop went exceptionally well. The guide’s depth of knowledge about Egypt's rich history was truly impressive, bringing every site to life with detailed explanations while keeping the tour engaging for the whole family. Communication with the company throughout the entire process was efficient, prompt, and clear. If you are looking for a reliable, highly knowledgeable, and accommodating tour operator in Egypt—especially when traveling with family—I cannot recommend We Know Egypt enough!

Everything was beyond amazing. Punctual pickup, great and clean bus, professional guide and overall wonderful experience!

Mr Egypt was amazing. I would highly recommend him. He takes care of everything. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the trip. Our trip would have not been as fun had we arranged everything. As a local he is great at creating an experience and navigating the system.

We were able to see everything we wanted. Our French-speaking guide, Mariane, provided us with many clear and interesting pieces of information. We left with stunning photos and beautiful memories. We recommend this excursion without hesitation!

A perfect day!!! Everything was very well organized. A shuttle service to the hotel ensured all transfers. The team was fantastic. Our French-speaking guide, Marianne, was with us all day, teaching us so much about Egypt. Thank you to Samir and Moh, our personal photographer throughout the day. A huge thank you to you all. I recommend it 100% without hesitation.

Very good expérience, the guide Marianne was a treasure of knowledge and kindness, very good organisation overall. Would totally reccomend.

Truly an amazing day. Great spot for the pyramides, very helpful for all special tourist photos. The museum was an amazing experience with the guide.

Mr. Samir was available to tend to our needs 24/7 all 3 days. He transported us safely all around Cairo. He has the knowledge and experience with visitors from around the world to recommend what's best for their vacation goals.

Samir is THE guy no matter where you go in Egypt! He knows everyone, everything and all the hotspots. Samir picked us up at the airport in Cairo with a personalized sign, carried our luggage, got us early check in/out at the Airbnb in Giza, drove us everywhere, had recommendations for breakfasts and lunches, gave us all kinds of options for things to do and the days on which to do them. Before we arrived he quoted us prices for various tours and didn’t deviate a penny when we tallied everything up at the end. We did so many amazing tours including the Pyramids, Sphinx, Great Museum, Civilization Museum, Coptic Cairo, Nile River Dinner Cruise at The Pharaohs, Cairo Souk Market and a private sail boat cruise along the Nile. We skipped the line at several spots because of him and the man knows all the angles for all the pictures. We asked, he delivered!!!! If you ever want to go to Egypt, I highly recommend you let Samir guide you!

Our trip to Egypt with Mr. Egypt was absolutely unforgettable and exceeded every expectation we had. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned, seamless, and truly first-class. Egypt itself is beyond magical — the pyramids, temples, Nile sunsets, bustling markets, and incredible history felt surreal to experience in person — but what made this trip so special was the people who guided us through it. Samir, the owner of Mr. Egypt, created an experience that felt personal, welcoming, and incredibly well organized. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests and takes pride in sharing the beauty and history of Egypt in a meaningful way. And Abram, our guide, was simply amazing. His knowledge, kindness, professionalism, and passion for Egypt brought every site to life. He made us feel comfortable, cared for, and completely immersed in the experience from day one. Having a guide like Abram turned an incredible trip into something truly unforgettable. He became a forever friend. If you are considering Egypt, I cannot recommend Mr. Egypt enough. This was more than just a vacation — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will cherish forever. Truly life changing.

Moh is an amazing and knowledgeable guide. He’s very helpful with the arrangements of the whole trip.

This is a must-see. It is spectacular and so amazing that anything from that time period still exists let alone be able to walk through it. Our guide Asmaa was incredibly knowledgeable and could answer even our most obtuse questions. We really enjoyed her company. She is a good soul. As we have friends in Cairo, we will likely be back and plan to use her again.

We used We Know Egypt for our 3 day tour of Cairo. Our guide Asmaa was fabulous. Extremely knowledgeable and provided a very interesting and informative tour for us. Bishoi our driver was courteous, a great driver and always on time. I would thoroughly recommend We Know Egypt.

Amazing,enjoyable & wonderful sunny few days in Giza to visit Pyramids & Sphinx + light show from Great Pyramid Inn from balcony opppsite hotel with Egyptian theme interior & swing chair to have morning sunrise tea then 5 * Sofitel Nile built in River Nile with balcony view to see buzzing city never sleeps-all made enjoyable by drivers from Weknowegypt who are honest & omg on-time & waiting when flight lands! So reassuring & peace of mind as pay price agreed with them & no more! Visiting again!

Samir is the only company you need to work with! I’ve been coming to Egypt for several years now and Samir and his colleagues are exceptional. His professionalism, knowledge, humor, and wonderful conversation are the reasons I keep coming back. He’ll take great care of you and your trip and you’ll have wonderful memories and new Egyptian friends thanks to Samir. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Our Tour guide was with Mohamed Ramadan. Our group of eight took the tour in English. Mohamed’s English is perfect and completely understandable, even for people with limited English skills. I can say that we thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour and all the explanations and stories Mohamed shared with us. During the previous five days, we had a Spanish-speaking guide, and we learned so much more in just seven hours than we did during those five days. Plus, Mohamed was super friendly and nice, and he took some really fun photos and videos of us. Highly recommended. Thank you very much for your time with us!

Mohamed is a fabulous guide. He is knowledgeable and kind, with a great sense of humour. His historical knowledge from the Pharonic period to the present day is second to none. I cannot recommend him enough!!!

We had an unforgettable experience!! So much culture and history paired with a flawless itinerary!! Everything was on time, well organized and safe. Thank you so much to Mohamed for being an outstanding tour guide and Samir for going above and beyond with planning! I would totally recommend!!

We had a wonderful day and a half with guide Mohammed and driver Michael exploring Giza, Sakkara and GEM. We wanted a bespoke package. Nick was always quick to respond, gave great advice and nothing was too much trouble. Michael was a calm presence in the mayhem of Cairo traffic and Mohammed guided us seamlessly through what could have been a chaotic and stressful visit to the pyramids. He is fantastically knowledgeable, genuinely passionate and manages to make complex history come alive. We can’t thank them enough for an unforgettable experience.
