MUST-See with Marwa

Marwa is literally an amazing tour guide- she is so unbelievably talented. As a tribute to her trail-blazing bold expertise and guidance, here is a picture of one of the Kings of Egypt who was a woman, Hatshepsut.

Marwa is amazing — her academic qualifications are quite impressive and her joy and passion for sharing her knowledge are so refreshing. Her price for us was 750 LE/hour to see the highlights of the Egypt Museum which was very fair considering how comprehensive and downright lovely she is to spend time with! A guide in this museum is especially needed because it is not well organized, overwhelming, and the information it provides is limited.

We spent a whole day with Marwa at the Egyptian Museum and the experience was overall incredible. Marwa has a deep knowledge of the Egyptian history and we had learnt so much from her. I would say everything was absolutely amazing and Marwa’s the best! Book your tour with Marwa! You won’t regret it!

Marwa is soooo nice! I spent a day and half with her. I went to Faiyum and camel market and museum with her! I am glad I found her. She is super responsible and professional, and humorous. We travel like friends. I also did my first sand boarding in desert! Amazing!! Highly recommend!

Marwa is so knowledgeable and really brought history to life during our half day visit to the (old) Egyptian Museum. She took special care of our 6Y old daughter as well which we appreciated a lot given that this massive exhibition can be quite overwhelming for kids. I can warmly recommend visiting the museum with Marwa especially if you want to get a lot of context information across the entire ancient Egyptian history rather than just a glimpse of the highlights.

Marwa is a gem! She has a degree in Egyptology and has a wealth of knowledge on the history, which you can tell she is passionate about. She helped me figure out tours I could do on my budget, and set me up with other women tour guides in Luxor and Aswan. Then I met up with her for Giza and walking tours in Cairo. She’ll paint a picture of ancient Egypt in your mind with her storytelling, and will answer all of your questions. She’s also a super inspirational woman who’s worked hard to get to where she is. She’s an awesome guide for a solo woman traveler, like myself, and would be great for all types of travelers! She’ll set you up and make sure all parts of your trip run smoothly.

I wish there was more than just a 5 star rating because Marwa is the absolute best! My wife and I were very nervous about our visit to Egypt and Marwa was recommended to us from one of our friends that hired Marwa for their visit. Our friends spoke very highly of Marwa and their experience with her so I immediately reached out to her and she was very responsive and accommodating to all of our request. Before we arrived in Egypt, Marwa made sure to schedule a meet up with us after we settled in to our room and she showed us around the neighborhood and made us feel extremely comfortable. That's Marwa's superpower, she's great with making you feel at home and taken care of. We did not have to worry about anything for the remainder of our time in Egypt. We provided Marwa with our itinerary and she made everything happen and even threw in an additional trip to Saqqara. Marwa made sure we had the best drivers to take us to and from our destinations and she made sure to take us to quality restaurants and places to buy souvenirs so we would not waste our money or get taken advantage of as tourists. Marwa is also a highly skilled and knowledgeable Egyptologist and provided us with so much history about the sites we visited. We had such a fantastic time and experience with Marwa as our guide and I cannot thank her enough for making our first visit to Egypt such an amazing experience. If you're looking for a guide while visiting Egypt and Marwa is avaiable, I highly recommend hiring her. My wife and I do not consider Marwa as just a guide we hired, we gained a new friend spending time with her. She's just fantastic! We miss her and look forward to our next visit so we can work with her again!

If you want insight into Cairo's rich history and culture, look no further than Marwa. We had the pleasure of having her guide us around Saqqara and Memphis, and it was an experience we will cherish. Marwa's expertise is truly remarkable. As a certified guide and Egyptologist, she possesses an in-depth knowledge of the country's history and culture that is second to none. She brought the ancient sites to life with her stories and explanations, and we left feeling like we had gained a deeper understanding of Egypt's fascinating past and cultural present. She also shared her personal experiences with us, giving us insight into what life is like for her as a small business owner in Egypt. Her passion for her work and expertise was evident throughout the tour. Five stars all around!

I escorted a group of 7 ladies and I found Marwa's contact in an article about women entrepreneurs around the world. She was the first woman Egyptologist at the Egyptian museum. She is an excellent guide and her English is perfect. She organized our week-long trip in Cairo and kept it flexible in case the GEM museum opened but she advised closer to departure King TUt's mask has not moved. The GEM will not open during our dates so she filled in tours and activities. She organized a modern vehicle with the challenges of whether our luggage would fit and a fantastic driver. Driving is not an easy task in Cairo but we all felt safe with our driver and the meeting at the airport was very smooth. She is not a big company but a private tour guide but very capable in organization and keeping in touch. Her recommendations for our late lunch/dinner places were spot on and fun. The entire group enjoyed having her as a guide and a friend. We had their services every day all day. Marwa is incredibly knowledgeable and we also loved talking to her about general life for woman past and present. She was also helpful with our shopping at our request. I will not hesitate to hire her for my future client trips.

Marwa is hands down the best guide you could ever wish for in Egypt. She has profound, state-of-the-art knowledge about ancient Egyptian history and interpretation, that I doubt you'll ever manage to find with other tour operators. Well before my arrival, she helped me organize and customize a 10 day trip across Egypt as a solo female traveler. She was always available on WhatsApp to support and assist me throughout as needed. She kindly travelled with me to Luxor, and fixed another guide for me in Aswan and Cairo. Sherien, my guide for Cairo was amazing and such a sweetheart! All the cars and drivers she works with are also excellent. In short, if you want your stay in Egypt to be memorable and insightful while supporting a strong woman entrepreneur, look no further!!
