Great Day at GEM! - We had the pleasure of having Ayoub as our tour guide during our visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, and it was truly a memorable experience. Ayoub's knowledge of Egypt's rich history is incredibly impressive, and he shared fascinating details with us in a way that catered perfectly to both adults and our 6-year-old. He struck the perfect balance, providing enough information to keep us all engaged without overwhelming anyone. Ayoub’s kindness, humility, and patience really stood out. He was attentive to our needs, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. His ability to communicate complex historical information in an accessible and enjoyable way made the experience educational and fun for all of us. We highly recommend Ayoub for anyone visiting the museum. His expertise, coupled with his warm and approachable nature, made our tour exceptional. If you want a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide, Ayoub is the one!

Emy, my guide made my trip so special:) - PLEASE READ! If you are visiting this marvel, you must hire Emy as your guide. I am a savvy traveler and I do my homework before traveling to countries of exploration. I was blown away with Emy’s knowledge and diligence. She 1. Worked for the GEM - Great Egyptian Museum as a guide for years. This alone will give you such an amazing overview of Egyptian history, ancient and current, the museum nooks and crannies, without being boring for a second. Her English is perfect and you will be just astounded when you walk out with deep knowledge and connection to Egypt. 2. Multiple degrees in history and Egyptology. Emy had an answer to all the questions and also handy tips that later helped me to navigate through Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel sites. 3. She knows handy photo tricks, local restaurants, and basically Emy made my trip to Egypt, as a solo female, just wonderful.

History came to life - Ahmed, our driver was an expert at navigating the crazy Cairo traffic. All the while he was pointing out interesting sights along the way. Manar is an expert, and more. Her enthusiasm for the artifacts in the museum shined. She told stories that made the history come to life. In each of the galleries she pointed out items highlighting details I would have never noticed. In such a grand museum, you really need a guide who helps with the visual overload of artifacts and helps you focus. Her speech and projection made her easy to understand. We highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour of new Grand Egyptian Museum with experienced, delightful Guide - We visited the new Grand Egyptian Museum on our first day in Cairo. The museum is not fully open but it was magnificent. The architecture of the building is phenomenal and the exhibits were interesting and educational. Our guide, Manar, was superb. She was very informed, friendly, personable, considerate and full of energy. Her knowledge of Egyptian history and culture was terrific and her descriptions and explanations of the exhibits were thorough and interesting. Overall, we had a delightful time at the new museum, an enjoyable local lunch and a safe journey through Cairo traffic with Manar and our driver, Karem. I highly recommend this tour and our guide and driver.

Fabulous tour - Ahmed Salah gave us a wonderful three hour tour of the Grand Museum. When we were finished and I looked at my watch, I was so surprised. He really knew everything about what we saw and gave easy to follow information. Our driver to and from the Museum was great. He spoke some English and the car was immaculate. Then, we had the best chicken at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the pyramids.
