Best tour guides in Egypt - My family and I had the BEST TRIP EVER!! Thanks to Ashraf and Zacarias who were the most helpful, patient and understanding guides we’ve ever had. We had a month long trip through Africa and ended in Egypt as a final destination and this trip was nothing short of amazing. Ashraf took us to the places and restaurants that no tourist ever go to (which are the best ones!!!) he really knows the spots and the food we had as well as the experiences and activities we did were more that we could’ve asked for. He accommodated our family with a tour guide (Zacharias) who spoke fluent Spanish and explained everything so well and diligently. Definitively the best part of our trip thanks to them. 11/10 would recommend!!!!

Day trip Dendara - I was recommended this trip by Ashraf. The temple is a bit out of ways but was advised i wouldn't see nothing like it. I've already been to the other temples which were gorgeous, but was i wrong! I booked this tour with a guide and private car. Rady the guide was very knowledgeable and seemed to genuine love what he does. Very knowledgeable about the history and provides alot of interesting information. I was picked up early in the morning, recommended by the guide. Dendara hands down is the most beautiful temple in Egypt. It's massive and every inch of the interior has hieroglyphics and the best part alot of the color was still there. Amazing reds, bright blues no other temple in Egypt looked remotely close to how nice this place was and it was all due to the recommendation from Ashraf as again this is the only temple in the area and is a bit of a drive but well worth it. I would recommend getting a guide and a private car. The communication was on point, everything was taken care of. Would definitely book again!
