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!

Would highly recommend!  - Our tour guide was fantastic, we enjoyed exploring each site with the benefits of her depth of knowledge and genuine interest in the history of each site. We have booked... read more with her again for another tour later this week!

It was both incredibly affordable and informative. Shaimaa always had a detailed story relevant to any questions she answered, just showing how much knowledge she has. She taught us a lot about ancient Egypt and also framed our present visit within a contemporary context. Her passion for her work was evident. I would highly recommend anyone to use Shaimaa and Ocean Tours for their sightseeing in Luxor.
