Guiding since 2023

Hello there! My name is Aly. I am an Egyptian citizen. I have had my college degree in Egyptology and tour guidance. I became an officially authorized Egyptologist and English speaking tour guide. I have been in the field for more than two decades. It is, to me, more than bread-winning job. I have never imagined myself doing any other occupation. I do love meeting people, introducing them to the greatness of the ancient Egyptian civilization, alongside showing them the nowadays Egypt, mutually exchanging and sharing knowledge, and having a good time together!

The Egyptian Museum Exploring inside the museum is the main theme of the tour. I'll decode the messages ancient Egyptian civilization conveyed to us. We are to trace ancient Egypt's history , interpret the artifacts, statuary, etc... to reflect their social life, their view of specific concepts, such as beauty, feminism, worship, parenthood, purity, etc... the tour is carefully tailored and devoted to put words on lips of the statues in the museum. In short, our approach is very much"Walk and let monuments talk" ....

Outside visit

Omar Makram MosqueLocated at the corner of El-Tahrir Square, with its outstanding minaret, this mosque is the most famous mosque in the neighborhood. In 2011, during the Arab Spring uprising, this mosque, along with a nearby church, was used as field hospitals when injured Egyptian youth demonstrators, Muslims and Christians were rushed into the both shrines in a non-discriminatory manner!
