Our experience in Cairo, Egypt, with Gem Explore Egypt was absolutely amazing, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our tour guide, Aya ! From the moment our tour started, Aya was knowledgeable, kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about Egypt and its history. She made the entire experience enjoyable and comfortable for us. We visited the Pyramids of Giza,camel ride and the Sphinx, and she made sure we had the opportunity to truly experience and appreciate these incredible historical sites. We even had the opportunity to go inside a tomb, which was an unforgettable experience! One of my favorite parts of the tour was when Aya took us shopping. We visited a spice market, and I was determined to get a custom Egyptian cartouche necklace. Aya took me to a jeweler where they created one specifically for me. It was absolutely beautiful, and I have zero regrets about purchasing it! ❤️ It is now one of my favorite souvenirs from Egypt and something I will treasure for years to come. What really stood out to me about Aya was how she went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. She didn't just take us from one attraction to another—she made the day feel personal and special. If you are planning a trip to Cairo, Egypt, I highly recommend booking with Gem Explore Egypt, She helped make our trip truly unforgettable, and I am so grateful for her hospitality, knowledge, and kindness. Thank you, Aya, for helping make our Egyptian adventure so special! 🇪🇬❤️ We will never forget this experience! Highly, highly recommended

This was an amazing experience. It was better than we expected. We actually made a mistake with the booking (booked for the wrong day) and they were able to very quickly help us and we had a guide with us within 1h. Ibrahim allam, our guide, was amazing and very knowledgeable (also a great photographer). Our driver Sameh was also great and dropped us at the GEM, where we wanted to go next, even though that was not part of the plan. Highly recommended

This was one of the best tours and experiences that we've had in any country. Aya met us at the hotel and brought us to the car that transported us to Giza. Her information was well presented and done very professionally at the pace we needed for good understanding of the history and experiences of the Egyptian culture at the time of the building of the Pyramids. We walked a lot (intentionally not taking the bus sometimes) and had an easy and relaxed visit. The camel ride, which was included in all the levels of the tours, was difficult at times, but an experience that we wouldn't have had anywhere else. Leaving the pyramid site and going to the restaurant was a nice trip in the car. The restaurant was excellent with a view of the Pyramids from the window almost next to us. Food was good, and Aya joined us with more information of the area and the cuisine. The shopping part of the trip was expected, and didn't last that long. Some interesting knowledge was shared about the creation of the papyrus materials. The trip back to the hotel was not long, and our driver was calm and professional all the way there and back, easing gently through the insanity of Cairo traffic! We are already planning our next trip back to Cairo, and seeing more of Egypt, but definitely during the winter months, to avoid the grueling heat of the Egyptian summer. Aya was one of the best tour guides I have ever experienced!

We had an amazing half-day tour of the Giza Pyramids with our guide Ibrahim. He was incredibly friendly, reliable and very knowledgeable about Egyptian history. He shared so many interesting facts about the pyramids and ancient Egypt and explained everything in a really engaging way. We visited the pyramids, ancient tombs and the panoramic viewpoint with an incredible view of the whole pyramid complex. Ibrahim was always by our side, answered all our questions and gave us plenty of time to enjoy every stop. And honestly, Ibrahim is not only a great guide but also the best photographer! 📸 He knew all the best spots and angles, helped us with poses and our turbans, and took some incredible pictures of us. We had an unforgettable experience and would 100% recommend this tour – especially with Ibrahim as your guide. Thank you for an amazing day! 🇪🇬 We wish you all the best!
