Mohammed was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and professional, making the entire day feel focused, meaningful, and special. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. He also went above and beyond by taking all of my photos when I was feeling a little low, and they turned out fabulous! His thoughtfulness and attention to detail made the experience even more memorable. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him!

From start to finish Peter the driver and mo h my guide where omazin kind knowledgeable and punctual top class information could not do enough i used them 3x as a solo female felt safe and cared for and fully emerged into Egyptian culture 10/10 for knowledge and experience u made my holy bobs !
Samir & Moh completely blew us away! From start to finish, the entire experience was flawless. Moh’s knowledge of the history and sites was incredible, but what truly set this tour apart was his photography skills & immaculate lo completely blew us away! From start to finish, the entire experience was flawless. Our guide’s knowledge of the history and sites was incredible, but what truly set this tour apart was the immaculate logistics. He managed to navigate us around the city during low-traffic windows, meaning we never had to waste time waiting in long lines. Beyond his expertise, his kindness and flexibility were unmatched. We originally booked for a group of 5 to 6 people, but due to the price, the others backed out, leaving just two of us. He was incredibly accommodating with the changes, and never made us feel like a burden. Honestly, he is worth every single penny and definitely not expensive for the quality and amount of things we were able to fit in given such a short trip. We spent about 3-4 hours at each site- never rushed and really enjoyed getting to know Moh. If you want a stress-free, deeply informative, and personalized tour, I cannot recommend them highly enough! We are already planning our trip back to finish the rest of the sites.
On my first day in Egypt, I was collected from my hotel and spent an amazing time visiting the pyramids of Giza with Samir and a very knowledgeable specialist guide. It was an awesome experience, the guide (Rad) was informative and friendly. Samir kindly dropped me off afterwards to my hotel in Cairo. Thank you Samir of Mr Egypt Only tours
Really looked after during the whole trip. Perfect on time pick ups and amazing guide who really explained the different parts of the museum as well as the sights. Very special. I really highly recommend the whole team who looked after me!
It was fantastic. The guide was very thoughtful, knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the history of ancient Egypt. Everything went smoothly from the booking to the pick up abd the whole day overall. Very highly recommended.
A very professional company, with great communication and pre-tour advice. Our driver was skilled and very polite. Mohammad the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and ensured we had a great experience without any hassles. I would not hesitate to use the company again.
This was my second trip to Egypt. My first visit was with a group of seven, but this time I traveled solo. Both experiences were exceptional, and I already know I’ll be returning. Whenever I come back to Egypt, I’ll be booking with Samir and requesting Mohammed as my guide. One of the most important parts of traveling for me is learning about the local history, culture, and traditions. Mohammed is, without question, the most knowledgeable and passionate guide I’ve ever had. His depth of knowledge is remarkable, and he has an incredible ability to bring every historical site to life with fascinating stories, context, and details. If you’re someone who enjoys truly understanding the places you visit rather than simply seeing them, Mohammed is the guide you want by your side. Transportation was flawless on both trips. Every pickup and drop off was punctual, professional, and well organized. I never had to wait, and as a solo traveler I felt completely safe throughout my journey. Navigating Cairo can be overwhelming, so having an experienced driver and a reliable team made all the difference. Samir and his staff consistently exceeded my expectations by making every aspect of the trip smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality are the reasons I’ll continue choosing them for future visits. I can’t wait to return to Egypt and explore even more incredible destinations with Samir, Mohammed, and the rest of the team.
We recently booked a family tour with We Know Egypt, and they made our entire trip smooth, enjoyable, and completely stress-free. Traveling with both a senior and a young child can often present logistical challenges, but the team handled everything with incredible care, making the whole experience nice and easy for everyone in our group. Our itinerary included visits to the Pyramids, two fascinating museums, and the vibrant local market—and every single stop went exceptionally well. The guide’s depth of knowledge about Egypt's rich history was truly impressive, bringing every site to life with detailed explanations while keeping the tour engaging for the whole family. Communication with the company throughout the entire process was efficient, prompt, and clear. If you are looking for a reliable, highly knowledgeable, and accommodating tour operator in Egypt—especially when traveling with family—I cannot recommend We Know Egypt enough!
Everything was beyond amazing. Punctual pickup, great and clean bus, professional guide and overall wonderful experience!
Mr Egypt was amazing. I would highly recommend him. He takes care of everything. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the trip. Our trip would have not been as fun had we arranged everything. As a local he is great at creating an experience and navigating the system.
A perfect day!!! Everything was very well organized. A shuttle service to the hotel ensured all transfers. The team was fantastic. Our French-speaking guide, Marianne, was with us all day, teaching us so much about Egypt. Thank you to Samir and Moh, our personal photographer throughout the day. A huge thank you to you all. I recommend it 100% without hesitation.
Very good expérience, the guide Marianne was a treasure of knowledge and kindness, very good organisation overall. Would totally reccomend.
Truly an amazing day. Great spot for the pyramides, very helpful for all special tourist photos. The museum was an amazing experience with the guide.
Mr. Samir was available to tend to our needs 24/7 all 3 days. He transported us safely all around Cairo. He has the knowledge and experience with visitors from around the world to recommend what's best for their vacation goals.
Samir is THE guy no matter where you go in Egypt! He knows everyone, everything and all the hotspots. Samir picked us up at the airport in Cairo with a personalized sign, carried our luggage, got us early check in/out at the Airbnb in Giza, drove us everywhere, had recommendations for breakfasts and lunches, gave us all kinds of options for things to do and the days on which to do them. Before we arrived he quoted us prices for various tours and didn’t deviate a penny when we tallied everything up at the end. We did so many amazing tours including the Pyramids, Sphinx, Great Museum, Civilization Museum, Coptic Cairo, Nile River Dinner Cruise at The Pharaohs, Cairo Souk Market and a private sail boat cruise along the Nile. We skipped the line at several spots because of him and the man knows all the angles for all the pictures. We asked, he delivered!!!! If you ever want to go to Egypt, I highly recommend you let Samir guide you!
Our trip to Egypt with Mr. Egypt was absolutely unforgettable and exceeded every expectation we had. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned, seamless, and truly first-class. Egypt itself is beyond magical — the pyramids, temples, Nile sunsets, bustling markets, and incredible history felt surreal to experience in person — but what made this trip so special was the people who guided us through it. Samir, the owner of Mr. Egypt, created an experience that felt personal, welcoming, and incredibly well organized. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests and takes pride in sharing the beauty and history of Egypt in a meaningful way. And Abram, our guide, was simply amazing. His knowledge, kindness, professionalism, and passion for Egypt brought every site to life. He made us feel comfortable, cared for, and completely immersed in the experience from day one. Having a guide like Abram turned an incredible trip into something truly unforgettable. He became a forever friend. If you are considering Egypt, I cannot recommend Mr. Egypt enough. This was more than just a vacation — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will cherish forever. Truly life changing.
We visited Egypt in May 2026 with our family and had an incredible 12-day trip thanks to Samir, who planned everything perfectly from start to finish. We spent a few days exploring Cairo, enjoyed an amazing Nile River cruise, and finished our vacation relaxing at a beautiful resort on the Red Sea. Samir set us up with an amazing guide that stayed with us throughout the trip giving us personalized private tours everywhere we went. His knowledge and expertise were top-notch. The hotels and food throughout the trip were excellent, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged. What really stood out was Samir’s communication — he was always responsive, helpful, and easy to work with before and during the trip. This was truly a wonderful experience for our family, and we highly recommend Samir to anyone planning a trip to Egypt!
This is a must-see. It is spectacular and so amazing that anything from that time period still exists let alone be able to walk through it. Our guide Asmaa was incredibly knowledgeable and could answer even our most obtuse questions. We really enjoyed her company. She is a good soul. As we have friends in Cairo, we will likely be back and plan to use her again.
Informative and amazing tour! Not haste at all. Would recommend specially if you want a stress-free visit to Egypt 🙌
We used We Know Egypt for our 3 day tour of Cairo. Our guide Asmaa was fabulous. Extremely knowledgeable and provided a very interesting and informative tour for us. Bishoi our driver was courteous, a great driver and always on time. I would thoroughly recommend We Know Egypt.
Amazing,enjoyable & wonderful sunny few days in Giza to visit Pyramids & Sphinx + light show from Great Pyramid Inn from balcony opppsite hotel with Egyptian theme interior & swing chair to have morning sunrise tea then 5 * Sofitel Nile built in River Nile with balcony view to see buzzing city never sleeps-all made enjoyable by drivers from Weknowegypt who are honest & omg on-time & waiting when flight lands! So reassuring & peace of mind as pay price agreed with them & no more! Visiting again!
Excellent tours ! Knowledgeable Guide (Mo), professional Drivers (Michael and Khaled) got us to, through and around the sites efficiently and safely. Wish we had more time to spend here...
Samir is the only company you need to work with! I’ve been coming to Egypt for several years now and Samir and his colleagues are exceptional. His professionalism, knowledge, humor, and wonderful conversation are the reasons I keep coming back. He’ll take great care of you and your trip and you’ll have wonderful memories and new Egyptian friends thanks to Samir. Looking forward to coming back again soon!
Our Tour guide was with Mohamed Ramadan. Our group of eight took the tour in English. Mohamed’s English is perfect and completely understandable, even for people with limited English skills. I can say that we thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour and all the explanations and stories Mohamed shared with us. During the previous five days, we had a Spanish-speaking guide, and we learned so much more in just seven hours than we did during those five days. Plus, Mohamed was super friendly and nice, and he took some really fun photos and videos of us. Highly recommended. Thank you very much for your time with us!
Our guide, Mohamed Ramadan, was great at explaining all of Egypt's history, was very patient and anwsered all of our questions very well. Very good tour and we were all very happy with the experience and the photos he took.
Mohamed ramadan was the best guide..we learned more with him than our previous guide in 6 days..He explained everything with patience and clearly. He was kind and took excellent photos and videos..We would definately recommend him!!!!
Samir is the best ! Really Kind, take good pictures of you, know a lot of things about the pyramids and He is really patient ! I recommend ! (And it’s a really good driver also)
We took my grandmother to Egypt for her birthday, and it turned out to be one of the most special trips our family has ever had. From the very beginning, the team (Milad) was incredibly supportive — helping us organise our hotels, listening carefully to our criteria, and putting together an itinerary that suited our pace and priorities. Their recommendations on how to structure each day and which highlights were absolute must-sees made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Our guide Moh was amazing — so knowledgeable, passionate, and patient (we asked a lot of questions). We visited the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the historic Hanging Church, and the Egyptian Museum — and each stop was unforgettable. A very special thank you to Moh , John and Faruk who went above and beyond to ensure my grandmother could fully experience everything, even though she uses a wheelchair. They helped carry her around the pyramid site so she wouldn’t miss out on seeing these incredible wonders up close. Their kindness, care, and genuine warmth meant the world to us. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire journey. We had a fantastic time and created memories that our family will cherish forever. Highly recommend!
Such an amazing trip.for our mother's 90th birthday. Family of 6 and we couldn't have had a better team to look after us. Taking our mother on her trip of a lifetime to Cairo for her 90th birthday was daunting. I'm so pleased we had Marathon Tour team to show us around they were excellent. Mum is disabled and wheelchair bound. We were met at the airport with a sign a Happy 90th birthday sign and flowers. Day one Pyramids complex with Moh negotiating to avoid ques. John and Faruk carried mum in her wheelchair so she was able to get up close to see everything. She was so happy that day as she had waited all her life to see the sights and thought she would never see them. The team were lovely and made mum feel like a queen. Day two Grand Egypt Museum. John the designated wheelchair pusher, and Moh who was so knowledgeable that we tried to catch him out but he was simply too good for us. Moh was a super guide and made sure we saw everything we wanted to including ensuring mum had front row to everything. Day three museum Hanging Coptic Church and old Egyptian museum. Simply fabulous. Faruk driving was amazing. The team never once lost their sense of fun or patience, nothing was too much of a bother for them. They looked after us and my mum just like family. Can't wait to come back and would only use this team.
The entire team went above and beyond to help make my grandmother's 90th Birthday a once in a lifetime trip. Going to Egypt has been the top of her bucket list. We finally managed to take her and right from the airport the team were fantastic with a birthday sign and flowers. Moh, Faruk and John were incredible and even carried her in her wheelchair to touch the pyramids. They all made her, and the whole family, feel safe and looked after all week. Their knowledge and kindness made the whole trip unforgettable. I would definitely use them again if we come back and would recommend them to everyone.
We had the best time with our guide Rawe ! He is a very good explainer, smiling all the time, funny and very interesting. He brought us to the good places, and knows his job. Thank you again!
My husband and I used Samir with Egypt Tour services and we had the best time. It felt safe, they were on time and overall it was a great experience.
Mohamed is a fabulous guide. He is knowledgeable and kind, with a great sense of humour. His historical knowledge from the Pharonic period to the present day is second to none. I cannot recommend him enough!!!
Great tour excelent guide Mohamed is the best tour guide, Samir is amazing everything was perfect. Recommend 100% everything was on point.
We had an unforgettable experience!! So much culture and history paired with a flawless itinerary!! Everything was on time, well organized and safe. Thank you so much to Mohamed for being an outstanding tour guide and Samir for going above and beyond with planning! I would totally recommend!!
This experience was amazing! Samir and his team made us feel safe, comfortable and like royalty! From our first day to our last, Samir checked on us daily and made sure we had everything we needed. Anything we asked for it was always yes. He made us feel like family! Thank you Samir, Mohamed (both tour guide and driver) and Milad! I will definitely come back to visit and book with you again.
We had a wonderful day and a half with guide Mohammed and driver Michael exploring Giza, Sakkara and GEM. We wanted a bespoke package. Nick was always quick to respond, gave great advice and nothing was too much trouble. Michael was a calm presence in the mayhem of Cairo traffic and Mohammed guided us seamlessly through what could have been a chaotic and stressful visit to the pyramids. He is fantastically knowledgeable, genuinely passionate and manages to make complex history come alive. We can’t thank them enough for an unforgettable experience.
Thanks for the amazing experience from start to finish! Samir and Muhammad were great — everything was well organized and they were super friendly. I highly recommend them! Sarven from Belgium
Very good experience with Muhammed, we went to Gizeh and to the Egyptian museum. He has a lot of things to explain and knows very well his stuff and egypology ! He also knows how to take some unforgottable pictures. Thank you Mikhalis from Belgium
We booked a tour for 44 of us during our wedding week and it was a dream. Pickups from three hotels were on time and easy, coordination and comms were great, and we never felt rushed. We saw the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, did a camel ride, and even went inside a pyramid. Our guide Rawy was a star—warm, funny, and brilliant with big groups. Our driver and second guide were equally lovely and patient. They also took gorgeous photos and videos (thank you!). Heads-up for future travellors: the inside of the pyramid bit is extremely narrow, steep, and extremely hot—pretty intense. If you have back issues, maybe skip it; being on the shorter side helps. We’re so grateful. This turned a pre-wedding outing into core memories for all of us. Would book again in a heartbeat. 🧡
Mr. Rawi!! NUMBER ONE!!!! The best! Had a really good time, with good people and great energy through the whole day! Rawi took really good care of us (and thats not easy🤣)
Such a great experience with Milan and his team who were so attentive to any of our requests and gave us enough time to enjoy the area, gave us ride through the history. Thank you all for this!
Amazing tourguides. The really took care of us and explained the history of the pyramid site. We can definitely recommend them as your tour guide
Our trip was an amazing experience. Samir is very organized and detailed in all communications. Our tour guide and egyptologist, Mohammed, was wonderful. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He kept us informed at all times and made for a comfortable journey. We hope to visit again and will definitely be asking for Mohammed.
One of the best experiences, being our first time visiting Egypt. I think if it weren't for our guide, Mohamed, we wouldn't have visited all those places. 100% recommended. If I go back, I would choose them again.
We had a very good experience. Our guide, Mohamed, was excellent; he informed you about everything and included you in his explanations. We loved it so much that we already want to go back again. Thank you very much.
My wife and I had a private tour with Samir, Mohammad, and absolutely loved it. Our full trip was a total of 12 days, with 8 in Cairo and 4 in a Nile River Cruise. This was a true trip of a lifetime and I could not recommend it more! From the moment of initially reaching out to Samir, the process was easy. Samir contacted my by WhatsApp and we started working on itinerary, dates, and made recommendations that were tailored to what we wanted to see. There is so much to see/do across Egypt to suit anyone’s needs. The trip itself was incredible. The logistics daily were perfect, sights were unbelievable and can’t say enough about how much the team went out of their way to make the trip great. We had an Egyptologist with us teaching us about all the treasures, answering questions and guiding us expertly, which makes a huge difference from just looking at objects into a learning experience where you can understand context, meaning and significance of items. - Pyramids were even more amazing than I imagined. They are huge, and having Mohammad with us was critical to understand when/why they were built, how they were built, and see the complex. Having a guide is also helpful as they show you the cool spots and photo opps. Mohammad was basically a world class iPhone photographer and we’ll have pictures he took hanging in our house forever now 😂 - Museum of Egyptian Civilization was recently built (~2021) and houses the royal mummies and other artifacts that highlight the development of civilization. The mummies are incredible to see and the museum itself is very nice. - Egyptian Museum (Tahir Square) is a beautiful museum from 1924 that is historically the primary museum, but is shifting a bit with the GEM opening. This is LOADED with artifacts that blow away any other archeological museum I’ve ever been to. While we were there, the Tutankhamen treasures, coffins and mask were on display and were the most amazing artifacts I’ve ever seen. They also have countless other treasures throughout Egyptian civilization. Mohammad was so helpful in explaining things big and small to help understand why they all matter. - Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) - we went twice during our trip and it was beautiful. It’s one of the largest museums in the world and is stunning. We went before the official opening (11/1/2025) so 11 of 12 galleries were open, and the Tut treasures were not yet transferred. The displays, artifacts and building itself are truly world-class. Even if you do not care about history it is a must-see Some small tips that were helpful for me: - You’ll communicate via WhatsApp or email most likely and Samir and the team are extremely fast and love their business. - In Egypt, to book hotels and arrange tourism they’ll need your passport for booking accommodations. They handled everything with care and had no issues at all. I only mention it because I was mildly nervous at first - My wife and I felt 100% safe at all times. Cairo like many cities is a bit chaotic, but I never felt like there was any danger. Laws + police are pretty tight, all over. I mention this only because so many people asked if I felt safe and the answer was absolutely yes. Also, having a guide helps with questions you may have, help with pricing of stuff, and generally makes you feel at ease. I could not recommend a trip and company more. It was incredible from beginning to end and a lot of that credit goes to Samir and his whole team. I’m looking forward to another trip in the future!
We Know Egypt is absolutely fantastic! Everything was so organised including the optional extras. Great knowledge of the history & just general pleasurable company. Price is also very affordable. From the both of us. Thank you again for making this short trip such a memorable experience. We definitely recommend We Know Egypt to anyone who is interested in visiting Egypt.
Mohamed was an excellent tour guide. The 2 days of tours we did with him were extremely well organised and also flexible to be adapted to what we needed. Mohammed is highly educated with 2 degrees and exceptionally knowledgeable about both current Cairo/Egypt and Ancient Egypt. He speaks very good English and kept it fun and informative for both kids and adults alike (family of 2 parents, 3 kids ages 7-14 years). His experience enabled smooth, hassle free entry to sites and navigating Cairo for us inexperienced visitors! He is also an expert photographer and knows the best views and locations for capturing the moment. He also went above and beyond even helping when medical attention was needed. Our family highly recommends Mohamed as your guide in Cairo.
