Ahmed made us fall in love with Egypt
Ahmed was incredible! He was attentive and answered all of our questions. The views were stunning and it gave us such peace of mind to have someone there who spoke the language. When we return to Egypt, we will be booking with Ahmed again!
Bonus: he regularly asked if we wanted photos and posed us well!

Get Shaimaa!
Shaimaa was a splendid tour guide throughout our day in the pyramids. We use the photos frequently while sharing with school children and it is always evident how much fun we had with her. Her personal connection to Rames II transmitted to us as we reveled in the accomplishments of the ancient arts.
