We had such an incredible tour with Mohamed. His knowledge at all the sites was invaluable and we learnt so much. If you plan to visit the pyramids you are wasting your time doing so without a tour guide like Mohamed. He and his driver always picked us up on time, he was informative (without overloading us with too much history or assuming any prior knowledge of Ancient Egypt). His local knowledge meant we always had a cold drink of bottled water and had some delicious lunches. Our tour also included a visit to the Citadel and Old Cairo (Coptic Cairo) and they were certainly a must do in your tour with Mohamed. I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.

Got a car from Cairo to Dahab two ways. The operator I was talking to was extremely kind and very efficient. We were given as a driver Peter who is an extremely kind and good person they drive was six hours but with him seemed like almost a two hour drive everything went smoothly and I can’t stress enough. How efficient kind and professional all of them were. Pricing was also very well priced considering the enormous drive I highly recommend Peter.

On my first day in Egypt, I was collected from my hotel and spent an amazing time visiting the pyramids of Giza with Samir and a very knowledgeable specialist guide. It was an awesome experience, the guide (Rad) was informative and friendly. Samir kindly dropped me off afterwards to my hotel in Cairo. Thank you Samir of Mr Egypt Only tours

| Outstanding tour by Mohamed

August 21, 2025

Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex

We had such an incredible tour with Mohamed. His knowledge at all the sites was invaluable and we learnt so much. If you plan to visit the pyramids you are wasting your time doing so without a tour guide like Mohamed. He and his driver always picked us up on time, he was informative (without overloading us with too much history or assuming any prior knowledge of Ancient Egypt). His local knowledge meant we always had a cold drink of bottled water and had some delicious lunches. Our tour also included a visit to the Citadel and Old Cairo (Coptic Cairo) and they were certainly a must do in your tour with Mohamed. I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.
