Fantastic tour guide in Egypt  - We recently visited Egypt for a few days with the family.

We had an amazing guide who had very good English speaking skills and had great knowledge of the... read more Egypt history. Shaima was always happy to answer any further questions we had ( we had quite a few) and would answer them in detail.

Our guide Shaima was very well prepared and planned the day very well. She arranged the transport throughout the few days and always arrived on time ( although we were always late).

She always had a big smile and was always accommodating to our requests 😊

Shaima was able to recommend good restaurants and other touristy activities we can do in our free time.

We also enjoyed the hot air balloon which was the highlight of the trip all arranged and booked by our tour guide Shaima.

I would definitely recommend Shaima if you are planning a trip to Egypt.

Queen Shaimaa  - We were recommended Shaimaa to tour Luxor on 2 separate days and WOW what an incredible guide. We were captivated by her facts and stories with a side of sass!... read more Nothing was too much trouble for her; from giving us time to browse the shops, picking us up at the crack of dawn to avoid the heat and crowds, to keeping us from being bothered by anyone. She’s a queen herself and I’d recommend everyone to be guided by her. It was so interesting and she made sure we left having seen it all - what an experience.

Hands down the best guide in Egypt!  - We did a multi-day tour with Shaimaa in Luxor - Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Luxor, Karnak and Dendera. WOW! We can't say enough about the quality... read more of her tours - with Shaimaa it is less a lecture and more a conversation. She is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable on all things Egypt, including architecture, agriculture, modern history, as well as the ancient of course! Shaimaa goes above and beyond in every way, and is very open to customization. We are so glad we booked a private tour instead of a big group tour - our Egypt trip would have looked very different. In addition to the regular sites she also introduced us to local businesses for home made lunches, etc. We never felt rushed and we got to meet a lot of local people who were awesome.
We had such a good experience that we booked her for a day in Aswan as well! Support local and small businesses like hers!

Shaimaa has guided me across Luxor and further afield (Aswan, Edfu, Esna, Kom Umbu) and has always organised everything (drivers, permits, tickets) perfectly. Thanks to Shaimaa, as a solo woman travelling, I have been able to explore so many beautiful sights without any hassle or concerns and really developed a fascination with ancient Egypt. Looking forward to more days out and discovering more of Egypt with Shaimaa and highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore Egypt in a safe and authentic way!

Incredible Luxor Guide  - Shaimaa was an incredible guide. I had some special areas of interest, and she ensured we had the opportunity to see everything related to that interest. In two days... read more we visited Karnak, Luxor temple, Luxor museum, the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Workers, with a delicious home style meal to end. Her tour was engaging, researched and detailed, and we hung off every word.

We started out very early to avoid the heat and the crowds, and she collected us from our hotel lobby, providing water, and even hired umbrellas for us so we would get sunburned. She ensured we didn’t get hassled at the sites, and provided recommendations for dinner too.

Shaimaa was trustworthy, reliable, personable, expert, welcoming and passionate about her work and her hometown of Luxor.

Genuine, kind and knowledgeable guide  - Shaimaa was a lovely tour guide, very knowledgeable and very patient. She knows the best places to see and go, describing all of the artwork and carvings in the Valley... read more of the Kings, Valley of the Workers and Habu temple perfectly- you really got a feel for the place and the meaning behind each scene depicted which made the experience far more valuable.

Memorable visit to the West Bank with Shaimaa  - Shaimaa guided us for a day at the West Bank to discover the Workers village, Habu temple and Nobles tombs. We are a family of 4.
It... read more was entertaining for both the parents and the 2 teenage kids to listen to her passionate story telling. Shaimaa is very knowledgeable and answered all questions from dad regarding ancient Egypt language, culture, daily life, etc. Shaimaa also organized a delicious lunch at a local family restaurant and the mini-van back to the airport. Even though the departure was early morning on the next day, she did check in with the driver and I that all was in order.
From the 4 guides, we had during our trip in Egypt, Shaimaa was the best and will be remembered most.
