Mohammed was a great guide! We had a day tour with him, where we started in Saqqara en ended at the pyramids. His English was superb and he had a lot of knowledge about ancient Egypt! He could tell us a lot of stuff we didn’t know, so that was quite interesting. When he stopped at a perfume museum, and we said that we didn’t want to go inside, he didn’t protest at all and took us straight to the pyramids. All in all it was a great day! He even helped us getting to the airport a day later when we met him by accident, he drove us to the main road and ordered a taxi for us and made sure we arrived safely. He is a great guide and would definitely recommend!!

Itinerary
Our tour guide will escort you from your hotel by the air conditioned vehicle to Giza Plateau where you will visit the marvelous 3 Pyramids of Kings Cheops,Chephren,and Menkaure , then a visit to the human headed lion statue which is called (The Sphinx) or (Abu el Hol) And witness the Valley Temple of King Chephren beside the Sphinx.The Great Pyramid of King Cheops is the only wonder of the seven wonders of the ancient world that still exists up till now. Then, our tour guide will stop at one of the decent local restaurants , to give you the chance to taste some of the authentic local Egyptian food such as the delicious Kooshary Dish or the fantastic Falafel Sandwiches
After that moving on to visit the Complex of Saqqara which belongs to King Zoser and his step pyramid, which was designed and built by the great architect Imhotep (you can visit also Imhotep’s Museum at the same sight) The Step Pyramid is considered the first pyramid in Egypt. At the same sight, you will witness some of the well preserved Mastaba Shaped Tombs.
The oldest structures in Cairo date back only to the last couple of centuries BC during Greco-Roman period; however, on the fringes of the city stand the Giza Pyramids, some of the oldest structures on Earth. Despite their proximity to Cairo, the difference in age between the pyramids and the city itself are proof of their different histories. The pyramids at Giza and elsewhere in the desert near Cairo are a part of the legacy of an older city and civilization that fell into decline long before Cairo was founded. This civilization named this area Memphis, which was the seat of power to the Old Kingdom (2686—2181 BC) of Ancient Egypt, home to the pharaohs that raised the pyramids.

Mohammed is a great tour guide, friendly, great English, full of knowledge, and also allowed us some free time. If we didn’t want to stop we didn’t stop, he offered us alternative food option which was more suited for us. The tour also included a camel ride, my partner had hurt his back a few days prior riding a camel so Mohammed sorted us an alternative horse and carriage ride. We are travelling as a family of 4, and it was only us on the tour which was much better. I would definitely recommend booking with Mohammed, he made it a great day for us. Not only was Mohammed a great tour guide, he also helped us in getting a taxi to the airport a few days later. Uber didn’t offer a car big enough, and our hotel were very expensive so we contacted Mohammad and he sorted this for us and made to stress free. Thank you Mohammed!
Got our Giza Pyramid and Old Cairo tour with Mohamed. He is very kind and knows his job well, we were loaded with Egypt's rich history 👌 we discussed a lot of thing including his own family and future business plans! Good luck Mohamed! Hope you all the best!
Enjoyed our days in Egypt. Our guide Mohamed Samy Fayed showed us the antiquities and wonders of Egypt with great patience and knowledge. We visited the pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, Dasjoer with him. We also went to the desert and visited Wadi el hitan and the citadel, mosque and the Khan al kalili. Both the drivers and the guide were very good and helpful. Mohamed made our trip unforgettable. Thank you very much for this.
It was the best experience so far. We were really worried about getting scam in Egypt but Mohamed did everything easier for us. We had so much fun together.I cannot recommed him enough. You can trust him with your eyes closed. Thank you so much again!
We had an incredible experience with Mohamed Samy as our guide in Cairo. He was extremely polite, attentive, and kind throughout the tour. At the Pyramids, he provided a very thorough guide, answering all our questions and sharing fascinating insights. He also took us to some local shops, which added a special touch to the experience, always respecting our choices and preferences. Thanks to Mohamed, our visit to Cairo was much more special and memorable. I highly recommend his services!
Mr Mohammed is a knowledgeable guide and very understanding. He planned the trip very well and to top it off - he is a fantastic photographer 💯 much recommended!
Solo traveler here. Mohamed was a great guide. His English is perfect and his years of experience show. He found a great balance between giving factual historical information, and also having a casual conversation about life. I had a very relaxed and fun day. He uses a favor here and there to get you smoothly through the day. Discuss with him whether you like to see papyrus and perfume shops or not. Wish him all the best!
The guide was incredible, showed us everything and explained all about the monuments, very polite and kind. I will definitely recommend to friends, it was a complete and indescribable experience. Thank you!
Excellent services and a good guide that helped us around Cairo and also guided us to places in Sharm EL Sheikh. If in Cairo get in touch with him for best of guidance and services.
Mohamed was a great guide & extremely knowledgable. I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone wanting to see the sites in Saqarra/Giza!
Firstly - if you’re planning to do anything in or around Cairo and the Giza complex, whether solo or in a group, you need a guide. Most importantly a guide will help deter the many vendors that will approach you, some of whom can be pretty persistent. But also a good guide will help you avoid being charged ‘tourist prices’ for everything. But more than that a good guide will help you get the most out of your experience, and that’s what I got with Mohamed Fayed. Mohamed really knows a lot about Egyptian history both ancient and modern, and this really added to the tours. He showed me around the Giza pyramids and Sphinx on day 1 and took me around Saqqara and Memphis on day 2. He was so helpful. There is a LOT to see on both tours and Mohamed helped streamline the visit, and also minimise our time in the sun - which is a real bonus if you’re as pale as I am! Mohamed also has a great sense of humour which really added to my enjoyment of the tour. And he knows where to get a really good falafel! Thank you Mohamed for helping make my visit so memorable.
Very nice genuine individual. He is very knowledgeable about egyptian history and current situations. We went to giza, saqqar, Memphis. We also visited body oil and papyrus shop. I was not pushed to buy anything. He even bought a sandwich for my son.
Our tour guide was really informative and knowledgeable about the archeological sites we visited the pyramids in saqqara and giza as well as the museum and surrounding areas of which the tour guide had thoroughly planned the visit which made it really enjoyable!
Such a helpfull and kind guide! We went to the pyramids and much history was told. Lunch was the best we had here in Egypt. Thank you for your patience with us Mohamed! We loved our day with you🤩
Mohamed is the best Guide ever. you will have the most unique experience with him he will explain everything about the pyramids and history which made it so much better than going alone, he is nice and he cares and he was the most attentive guide we had.
Mohamed Samy Fayed is one of the best tour guide that we had. Very outgoing, fun to go around with and explained everything to detail and made our holiday a memorable one. I would highly recommend him to others. Trust me your holiday will so much fun with him.
Enriching day tour with visits to Giza and Saqqara pyramids. Great experience. Mohammed our guide, was very knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend him for groups and families….
Amazing tour guide lot of information and fun my 5 years old daughter was safe and so so happy. We be been after to eat the best Egyptian food after we saw the pyramids and sphinx. Also included cotton shop lab Parfume and glass making lab ❤️
Mohamed took us to Sakkara, Memphis and the Giza Plateau on a tour that we’ll never forget. He is very knowledgable, kind and well-spoken, and he kept our children and us fully engaged and wanting more! We are so grateful to have met him - this day was the highlight of a wonderful visit to Cairo. Thank you!!
Mohamed is by far the most amazing and knowledgeable tour guide you can get. He tailored our trip to our needs and those of our children. We had a fantastic day learning so much about this beautiful country’s history. The food offered was delicious and the atmosphere throughout the day amazing.
Perfect choice when it comes to a one day trip to Saqqarah, Memphis and Dahshour. Mohamed is well experienced and gives good advices. The trip was tailor-made to our skills a knowledge. Mohamed has quickly recognized all of them and adjusted our daily plan wisely. Everything was very friendly and pleasant! Our rating for this trip: 10/10!
Excellent trip ! Mohammed was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful! Great way to see the Pyramids and surroundings
Great experience! Our guide Mohamed took us to very interesting places and explained it in detail without being boring. Careful about scammers around the pyramids, buy souvenirs at central city. I would rate this tour 10/10. We had the best food, very authentic and yummy ( around 30$) . I would definitely recommend this tour!!!!
Mohamed was an absolute joy to have as a guide. He is super knowledgeable, and very easy going. He enjoys what he does, and it shows with how fun the trips were. I wouldn't recommend any other guide.
If you are looking for a tour guide to accompany you on a trip through ancient Egypt, look no further. Mohamed is not only an excellent guide, but very well spoken with a wealth of knowledge. He will be patient and understanding with any questions you have along the way. His rate is very affordable for a small group, and is just a genuinely nice human being. 10 out of 10 recommend.
We had an amazing private day tour with Mohamed! He is really a cool, funny and competent tour guide. We not only learned a lot about Egyptology but also about the country and Egyptian culture. He answered all our questions about whatever question. The tour was catered perfectly to our needs. We always felt safe and cared about, at the sights and in the car. He is very polite and looked after us in any situation so we were never bothered by vendors. I want to note that Mohamed offered us other services like a stop for shopping when we asked him about it but never pushed or tried to sell us anything. I would definitely hire him again as a guide. Especially if you want to see a lot in a short time. With him you are in good hands!
Had a brilliant day out. Everything was easy and well organised. Would recommend Mohamed as a tour guide. Really enjoyed the camel ride at the end and all the photo opportunities
It all started from here... €gypT... Past, present and future Ancient Egypt, life in its finest forms, meanings, art and power...
lovely, the guide was very patient,trustworthy and excellent company.I was picked up and returned on time.I would plan some other trips with him next time, highly recommended..
The views was amazing we took so many photos to treasure all my life ! You want believe your eyes 😀
Very knowledgeable and entertaining. We've used Mohammad more than once for tours in Egypt and each time he's given us a great a new perspective!
We had a tour with Mohamed that was individually tailored to our wishes. Mohamed provided us with detailed information about all the sights we visited (the Pyramids of Giza, Sakkara, the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid) and patiently answered all of our questions. The tour started promptly at 9:00 a.m. - we were picked up and toured the entire sights in a modern SUV, including a stopover where we were able to enjoy authentic Egyptian street food. Mohamed is an excellent tour guide and we can recommend him for a tour with a clear conscience! The Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid are particularly recommended as they are less touristy and you have the opportunity to visit the burial chamber (the descent is strenuous ;) but a real experience!)
