Experience the best of
Cairo with Withlocals

"Moustafa is an exceptional tour guide. He went above and beyond to customize my Giza/Sakkara tour to include a visit to Sakkara, GEM and also the pyramid complex at Giza. He took the time to understand my interests and arranged the day to ensure we could see and do everything despite the early closing hours due to the last day of Ramadan. He has extensive knowledge as an Egyptologist and wove together mythology, history and sociology in ways that really made every site come alive. Highly highly recommend him!"

"I had 4 days to spend in Cairo and the day I spent with Moustafa was the best out of the 4. Moustafa completely gave us what we asked for, a tailor made day working around what we wanted to do. We wanted tour the Pyramids and have an authentic Egyptian experience seeing the old town, try their food and visit important historical building and that is exactly what we got. He is passionate and really cares that we have the best time. Felt like we we're getting treated like family and felt safe as he is well respected everywhere we went. Couldn't thank him enough for the experience he gave us. He truly goes beyond what you pay for. He's amazing enthusiastic captivating happy attitude kept us alive living in the moment the whole day, it allowed our imagination run free. We plan to come back to Cairo someday and will be giving him a call."

"I had a great evening with Mohamed. We enjoyed and variety of local foods, with investing conversations and insights into contemporary Cairo."

"We had a great food tour in Cairo with Mohamed. Mohamed picked us up from our hotel and took us to a local place in Cairo for our first stop. This was amazing. The vibe was great...packed with locals ... and the food was fantastic. We then drove to another place for Kushari (Mohameds favourite) and then onto a juice bar and a place for a great dessert. We visited places we'd never have done on our own. Hightly recommended. Thank you Mohamed"

"We had a fantastic tour of the pyramids of Giza with Nesreen. The pyramids are awesome and Nesreen was a great guide full of fascinating knowledge and information. We all had a great time. Thank you Nesreen. "

"Moustafa was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. He met us at the entrance gates of the great Pyramid with a smile and great energy. He inquired about our preferences and style and responded accordingly. My travel companion and I could not have been more pleased with EVERY aspect of our experience with Moustafa and our visit to one of the most incredible sites in the world. It was money VERY well spent and we are most appreciative."

"Nasreen was an excellent guide. Picked us up at the Fairmont. Loads of energy and knowledge with wonderful tidbits of info. We went to a market and side street with largest house (150 gorgeous rooms!) and a mosque tour. Her knowledge of history made it so interesting. She took many photos of us which unfortunately we did not download fast enough (within the hour) so did not receive. Our last stop she bought us a wonderful array of pastries to sample. A delicious ending! "

"Given the challenges of a multiple stop food tour at Iftar in Ramadan Youssef decided on a single spot with multiple selections at sunset. A great decision. After a filling and satisfying meal among the surreal Ramadan chaos we spent time visiting downtown Cairo, the bazaar and other sites. This young guide is engaging, knowledgeable and fun. This tour was an outstanding way to experience Cairo on our first day in Egypt."

"Yussuf was an outstanding food guide in Cairo and truly made our trip special from start to finish. He had planned our itinerary to balance culture, history, and food experiences perfectly. One of the highlights was when he took us to a local restaurant for our very first iftar which was an experience that we would never have found on our own. It gave us a real sense of the local atmosphere and traditions. He was also incredibly flexible and accommodating and adjusting plans as needed. He was close enough in age to connect naturally with our two teenage boys who genuinely enjoyed his company, and which made the whole experience even more relaxed and fun for all of us. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Knowledgeable, thoughtful, adaptable, and great company — highly, highly recommended!"

"Maga made the Pyramids come alive. And in the process, he took us on a journey back in time and helped us contextualise not just the site but the spirit of the age."
