From lecture halls to temple floors
I studied Egyptology at Cairo University and have been guiding since 2013 — first with big tour companies, then on my own, because I wanted to spend the day with people instead of herding them.
Every tour is built around you: your pace, your questions, the things you came to Egypt to see. I read hieroglyphs on the walls with you, I know which tombs are open this season, and I will tell you honestly when a place is not worth the drive.
“The stones are 4,500 years old. The stories should still feel alive.”
Four promises, every tour
Your pace, not mine
No fixed script and no shopping stops. Linger at the tomb you love; skip the one you don’t.
Beat the crowds
I know the hours each site is quiet, so we arrive when the coaches leave.
Real history
I read the walls with you — hieroglyphs, myths and the latest discoveries, not just dates.
Honest advice
Where to eat, what to tip, which add-ons are worth it. I’ll tell you like I’d tell a friend.
Days they remember
“We have done guided tours all over the world and this was the best. Perfectly timed to avoid the crowds — at one point we had a tomb completely to ourselves.”
“Honest, funny and incredibly knowledgeable. He told us which add-on tickets were worth it and which weren’t, and never once took us to a shop we didn’t ask for.”
“Travelling with two kids (8 and 11), I was worried about long days. Karim turned it into a treasure hunt and they still talk about the “king’s secret boat”.”
“Organised everything over WhatsApp in two messages. On the day it all just worked. Worth every dollar.”
