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.

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!

Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex

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.

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.

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.

| Amazing Tour in Saqqara, Dashur and Menphis

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!

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.
