| Second trip... Can't wait for the next

Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex Trustindex

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!

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.
