I don’t waste your time in Bazars and I don’t urge you to buy anything. I’m a licensed guide by the ministry of tourism, so, you will be safe with me. I’ve studied Egyptology for years in my university and got my license after so many hard exams, and still studying in a non stop journey of knowledge
I’ll show u inside the amazing earlier pyramids and tombs of Dahshour and Saqqara (Bent pyramid, Unas complex, Djoser pyramid, Underground Serapium) and the remains of memphis (where the grand statue of king ramessis lies) & teach you how to read the hieroglyphs (ancient Egyptian writing)
The tour is private including ac car, lunch in a very unique local farm where you can see the authentic life of locals (as i like nature, not routine touristic restaurants). So if you are (nature-person) like me, this tour is perfect for you

Superb experience - Safy is a brilliant guide. She is fantastic at explaining the sites and their texts, can show you things the other guides miss, and is clearly very passionate. The tour itself is a fantastic addition to the usual exursions to Giza as exploring some of the less well-known pyramids feels like more of an adventure! The meal amongst the palms was also delicious and gives you an idea of village life outside of the city. She also shows so much care for the stray animals along the way which is lovely to see. Highly, highly recommended.

Enjoyed our tour - Safy was ill but she sent Mohamed to drive us around regardless. There was a language barrier but we found ways to communicate. I’m glad to have a tour that didn’t drive you to factories with the expectation that you buy something. We never got to meet Safy but there are many reviews of her on here that you can read.

A great and unique way to visit Egypt - I definitely recommend this experience, Safy organised a superb day trip where we visit a true Egyptian farm (with an amazing excellent local breakfast) and the great Saqqara pyramids.
Definitely worth to spend the day. Safy’s knowledge was also outstanding overall taking is to the best places in the arqueological site.

Great adventure - We did this tour with Safy and her driver on our first day in Egypt and we had so many questions and concerns in mind. Safy took us thru saqqara at our own pace explaining the so many things we were looking at. She entered the pyramids and temples with us and having her at our side made us feel very comfortable. At a young age, Safy shows so much knowledge of ancient Egypt. She also has a great heart for the animals, that are in so much need. In addition, Safy is very firmed and knows well how to deal with authorities and vendors at the sites. Safy really cared about us having a good experience.
The visit to the farm after visiting the archeological sites was the cherry on top of the Ice-cream. We enjoyed our time with Safy so much that we asked her to costumized a second day tour for us in Giza and Cairo. Our second days was also an amazing experience.
I'm avoiding details of the experience as to not spoiled the adventure. With Safy, you will be in good hands and will have an awesome tour.

My favorite tour during my 9 day trip in Egypt. - Sofy was my favorite tour guide on my 9 day trip to Egypt! She is very kind, knowledgeable, and does not rush. These sites were amazing to view from the inside and out. There were no crowds and we were the only people going in the Bent Pyramid tunnel/tomb. She is very familiar with these sites and can read the hieroglyphs well enough to thoroughly teach us while we toured! After the historical sites, she took us to a farm for the meal - highly recommend this part too. All the food is made on site and they give you a short farm tour. She includes no pressure to buy items, shop stops, etc. Her compassion for the animals is also very admirable - she brings food for the many cats and dogs on the sites. Lastly, she is communicative and easy to contact; has safe and trusted drivers.
We *highly* recommend her for anyone looking for an in depth and entertaining adventure!

An unforgettable day! - We had an amazing day with Safy. She was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer every question we had throughout the day. The areas of Saqqara and Dashur are incredible. Truly a must if you are visiting Egypt. We finished our tour with an authentic experience at a farm, where we were served traditional Egyptian food made fresh. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic experience in Egypt!

A compassionate caretaker of both history and those she guides - During our (3 adults, 2 kids) two days around Cairo with Safy she ensured our time was not only well-spent but also filled with warmth and care. Safy's genuine kindness shone through from the moment we met her, and her attentiveness to our needs made us feel truly looked after throughout our stay.
Our first day with Safy, exploring Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis (so the trip this review is for) was brilliant. It was evident that these ancient sites hold a special place in her heart, and her enthusiasm for its history and significance was contagious. Seeing the Serrapeum and all the other sights at Saqqara in the morning was unforgettable and so, so interesting. We had a yummy lunch at a beautiful and peaceful farm and then went venturing inside the super exciting pyramids at Dashur. Our kids loved scrambling through tiny passageways into the middle of the bent pyramid. A full day to explore these places is definitely recommended (no idea how people manage it in half a day!) and Safy was great to go with.
What sets Safy apart is her extraordinary compassion, which extends beyond her duties as a guide. Not only did she ensure our comfort and enjoyment, but she also showed immense care for the stray animals we encountered along the way, bringing food to feed them. This act of kindness spoke volumes about Safy's character.
Throughout our time together, Safy exuded patience and never once made us feel rushed. She handled any external pressures, shielding us from unwanted attention. She is dedicated to ensuring her guests' satisfaction and well-being. If you're considering a tour around these areas, I would recommend her.

You won't be disappointed - It's hard to find a guide to trust, as everyone is after the money, but not Safy...
Safy isn't just a guide, she's a guardian angel for your travel experience. With her, you're shielded from pushy sellers, and she ensures everyone involved gets their fair share. She's a treasure chest of hidden gems, always prioritizing your safety and well-being. Plus, her passion for animals adds an extra layer of warmth to your journey. With Safy, you will get more than a guide, you will get a life time friend! Saved her contacts and definitely coming back again! Highly recommendeding!

Best experience I have had - First trip to Egypt - I had the pleasure of being guided by Safy on my first trip to Egypt, and I came with no planning or research. Her passion for animals and caring demeanor immediately made me feel at ease. She is also high qualified and knows her stuff. She explained to me things so clearly, painting a picture of what civilization was like back during the time of ancient Egypt. I can't wait to return and explore more under her guidance. She truly made my experience unforgettable. If you want to learn and also be adventurous. She is the right guide for you. I got to see everything I wanted and more.
