An Exceptional Guide for an Unforgettable Journey - We embarked on a 10-day private tour of Egypt with Sherif Safwat, and it was an absolute delight. As a group of 18 seasoned travelers, we had high expectations, and Sherif exceeded them in every way. His passion for ancient Egyptian history is contagious, and he effortlessly weaves captivating stories about the pharaohs, temples, and pyramids. We felt like we were living in the past as he animatedly described the mysteries of Luxor and Cairo. Sherif isn’t just a guide; he’s a friend you wish you had. His warm demeanor and genuine care for our experience made us feel welcome. He skillfully navigated us through crowded sites, ensuring we didn’t miss any hidden gems. His insider tips were invaluable! We left with memories etched in our hearts and a newfound love for this remarkable country. We even adopted his favorite saying: "Yalla yalla". If you’re visiting Egypt, Sherif Safwat is the guide you want by your side. Thank you, Sherif, for an unforgettable journey

6 Amazing Days in Egypt with Sherif - I led a group of 7 solo travellers to Egypt in April 2024. We had were fortunate to have Sherif Safwat as our guide for 6 days in Southern (lower) Egypt. He really went above and beyond to bring Egypt to life for us. He was one of the best guides I have had. I would highly recommend Sherif and will definitely use him again on future visits to Egypt.

Amazing Holiday - Everyone from Egypt United Tours was courteous and helpful but meeting our tour guide Sherif Safwat made our holiday amazing. He was friendly and welcoming with a great personality and extensive knowledge of Ancient Egypt which he explained without making it boring. Not only did we see the usual sights and Cairo but we got to experience a little of the local life too. As we were on a private tour Sherif would make stop along the way so we could sample some of the local delicacies and of course Turkish coffee. We are planning on going back when the new Museum is fully opened and we have requested Sherif be our tour guide again. We are looking forward to spending another holiday with Sherif Safwat.

Engaging and entertaining visit to Egypt - Doing any of the locations in Egypt with Sherif Safwat was an excellent experience (and we did many over many days). His ebullient demeanor added to his deep knowledge of these spectacular sights makes him an excellent storyteller who takes to back 5000 years un experiencing the wonders of Egypt. He was also excellent at engaging my kids ensuring we had a happy family vacation.

The best travel experience, and adventure in Egypt with our guide Sherif Safwat guide - After spending 2 weeks in Egypt in Cairo and on a 4 night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan as a world traveller I have never experienced such a professional, informative, educational and caring company as UTS tours service. The CEO Hamad Fathy looked after our every need. In doing that he gave us what we felt was his best guide in Sherif Safwat. We were travelling wirh a group of world travellers and his knowledge of the historical and ancient history was unlimited, but he was smart to keep us interested without overwhelming us with too much details. When our flight was delayed we experenced a first for us in travel . Our flight was delayed from Awsan to Cairo which meant part of our tour day in Cairo had to be adjusted. Because we all wanted to visit the museum Sherif cancelled our market tour and lunch. When we arrived in Cairo on our hour drive to the museum we stopped on a street corner where bags of hot fresh shawarma sandwiches were delivered for us to have lunch on our way to the museum. Not only a first but it was,delicious and a great solution for something beyond their countrol. Leaving this wonderful ancient country I left with a handful of business cards to pass on to my fellow Canadians so they too can enjoy the treasures of Egypt with the best guide Sherif Safwat.

An educational and memorable experience thanks to an excellent guiding service. - A rather delayed review, but better late than never. Last October 2023 our group of 12 made an 8-day tour of Egypt with Sherif Safwat as our tour guide, assisted by Monda, and we appreciate and value the high quality of his service. Not only was Sherif very knowledgeable about the history of ancient Egypt but he was also able to gauge the aspects and levels of interest of the group members so as to convey the information effectively and with a good sense of humour. To ensure our smooth progres from one destination to another, Sherif would send Monda ahead to arrange the transportation and ticketing logistics. When we encountered delay in the departure of our Nile river cruise from Aswan, Sherif deftly assisted our accompanying tour leader in making prompt alternative transportation arrangements to minimize time lost due to the delay and ensure that we did not miss out on the important sight-seeing destinations on our tour program. I commend Sherif as a responsible guide who goes all the way to make foreign visitors at home and truly enjoy Egypt.
