Our guided visit to the GEM was absolutely the most wonderful experience of my life, primarily because we were escorted by Mohammed (Mimo), who is an fantastic guide, thoroughly knowledgeable about ancient Egypt and its vast amount of artifacts in all of the museums in Cairo and surrounding archeological sites. I highly recommend him and his services. He has a heart of gold and puts every effort into not only answering my specific technical questions enthusiastically, but also goes far beyond what a tourist expects. My visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum was something I had to do in my lifetime, and I would always seek his exemplary services as my tour guide to Egypt. The vast collection displayed in the GEM is unmatched in the world, offering visitors a comprehensive understanding of the ancient Egyptian civilization in world history. I virtually loved every minute of my visit, seeing thousands of artifacts that I had previously seen only in photos throughout my life. Having Mimo at my side further enhanced my enjoyment because he consistently sought to take me to historical objects that I was unaware of, providing me with extensive historical background not generally known to amateur historians like myself. My visit to the GEM was truly wonderful and was further enriched by our guide Mimo, who was very precious guide.

This tour with Mohamed is a must for everyone. It was educational as well as interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed all the sites we visited and the knowledge that Mohamed shared with us. He also took us to a local 'coffee' shop, where I had the most delicious mango juice. It topped off a great day.
Mohamed was smart about getting to the museum first thing in the morning and for the first hour or so we could really explore the museum without the crowds. It was special. He knows exactly where to take pictures at the Pyramids of Giza so it was a time saver. Another wonderful day well spent.
The Grand Egyptian Museum is HUGE! Our family is so grateful to Mohamed for guiding us through the museum, sharing helpful context and interesting stories behind the items and displays, pointing out some of the "off the beaten path" stops and allowing us plenty of free time to explore the items we wanted to revisit. There is no way we could have done this on our own, and we already knew a lot about Egyptian history. Mohamed made our tour both enjoyable and meaningful for us all. The GEM is an amazing, must-see museum, but it has to be done the right way. Our family will always remember our tour with Mohamed. Thanks to his expertise, and generosity with his time, we really got the most of our visit. He is an exemplary tour guide and true gentleman.
We had a fantastic day with Mimo (Mohamed) visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. Mimo was brilliant. He has a huge amount of knowledge but, more importantly, knows how to explain things without making it feel like a history lecture. We were travelling with our two boys, aged 10 and 13, and he kept all four of us interested throughout the day, answered endless questions, and was great company. Having him with us made a massive difference at both museums. Rather than just looking at thousands of objects, we actually understood the stories behind what we were seeing and how everything fitted together. We spent two days with Mimo in Cairo and genuinely enjoyed his company. Friendly, kind, knowledgeable and very easy to spend a day with. Highly recommended.
Amazing! I had a very small window to see the pyramids and he was very flexible and accommodating to my schedule. He took me out for hookah and traditional Egyptian lunch. His knowledge and explanations during the visit were incredible. I highly recommend! Thank you for the amazing day! Stephen
We had a superb tour with Mohamed Kamei today. He is extremely knowledgeable on Egyptian history and hosted us on amazing tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids of Giza. We also got to experience the local cafe and hookah bar. We highly recommend Mohamed”s services.
We thoroughly enjoyed our sightseeing with Mimo. He is an expert in his field - very knowledgeable about Egyptian history, hieroglyphics, myths and legends. He was friendly and easy to chat with, and had a good sense of humour.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an absolutely amazing experience with Mohamed on our Egypt Museum and Pyramids tour! He did an unbelievable job from start to finish. Mohamed was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. He explained the history and stories behind everything we saw, answered all our questions, and made sure we had an unforgettable day. The pyramids and museum were incredible, but having Mohamed as our guide made the experience even more special. I highly recommend Mohamed to everyone visiting Egypt. If you’re looking for an amazing guide who genuinely cares about giving you the best experience, Mohamed is definitely the person to book with! 🇪🇬❤️ Thank you, Mohamed, for an unforgettable day! The Hewitt Family
We had a great experience with Mimo taking us to the Ancient Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids in Giza, highly recommended.
Visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Giza Pyramids was an amazing experience. The museum’s incredible artifacts gave the day a special sense of history, while seeing the pyramids in person was unforgettable. One moment that stood out was seeing the ancient treasures up close and then later standing outside with the pyramids in view. The whole experience felt fascinating and memorable.
The experience was extraordinary with high quality guided and service and there is no hidden admission fee and the length was 6 hr approximately thanks mr mimo
This was such a memorable day for me. Seeing the pyramids in person was incredible, but the Grand Egyptian Museum was the part that really stayed with me. Everything felt well organized, from the meeting point to the different stops. I also appreciated how smoothly everything went without feeling rushed. I had plenty of time to look around, take photos, and enjoy the experience. The staff were friendly and helpful whenever I needed anything, and the overall value felt very good for everything included.
Amazing experience from beginning to end. Mimo is so hospitable, knowledgeable and helpful. Mimo took better photos of us than we ever could have. He made what could be an overwhelming experience incredibly enjoyable and seamless. We will be back.
We had a great experience with Nile Navigators. The staff were friendly and professional, the timing was well organized, and everything went smoothly. We had enough time to enjoy the pyramids and museum without feeling rushed. It felt like a genuine, comfortable experience from start to finish.
Mohammad was a great tour guide and host. Very knowledgeable and professional and takes great photos. I had a great time.
The combination of the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Giza Pyramids made for a memorable day. Seeing the incredible artifacts up close at GEM gave great context before standing in front of the pyramids themselves. One moment that stayed with me was walking through the museum galleries and then later looking at the pyramids with a whole new appreciation for their history. Everything was well organized, making the experience enjoyable from beginning to end.
Visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Giza Pyramids in one day was a fantastic experience. Everything was organised from the start, and having the entry tickets included made the day very easy. The guide shared interesting historical details in a clear and engaging way, and there was enough time to explore each site without feeling rushed. The museum's exhibits were impressive, especially the ancient artefacts, and seeing the pyramids in person was unforgettable.
Visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Giza Pyramids in one day was an incredible experience. The museum displays were impressive, and seeing the pyramids afterward made the history feel even more real. One moment I won’t forget was standing face to face with a giant ancient statue, noticing the tiny carved details that looked untouched by time. The entire day was smooth, engaging, and filled with unforgettable memories.
The tour was a great experience from start to finish. Visiting the GEM and the Giza Pyramids in one day felt special, especially standing in front of the pyramids and seeing the details up close. I enjoyed walking around, taking photos, and learning about the history behind these incredible places. It was a day I will remember.
Our tour guide was amazing. Every part of the tour was so informative and imersive we felt like living in the past! We had such a great time and we will definitely recommend it to our friends and family that will be visiting.
My wife and I recently traveled to Egypt with a group of family and friends, and we had the pleasure of having Mimo as our tour guide for four days. We honestly could not have asked for a better guide. Mimo was incredibly patient with our large group, always organized, and made sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. His knowledge of Egypt's history, culture, and landmarks was outstanding, and he shared information in a way that was both interesting and easy to understand. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared about our experience. He went above and beyond to help us throughout the trip, was always attentive to our needs, and made us feel safe and welcome every step of the way. Egypt would not have been the same without a great guide, and Mimo played a huge part in making this trip so memorable. He made every day enjoyable, fun, and stress-free. We highly recommend Mimo to anyone visiting Egypt, and without hesitation, we would book him again on our next trip. Thank you, Mimo, for helping create such amazing memories for our family and friends!
Mimo has been the absolute best! Kind helpful and knows all the history! Definetely recommmend! Many thanks! Yula & Mike!
Mimo was an excellent guide!! In my lifetime I have come across many tour guides, he was one of the best!
Mimo was the best tour guide and host ever! We felt safe and taken care of. Mimo's english is perfect and he is the most friendly and warm person to be with in Egypt. We will book with him again for sure! Thank you Mimos!!! Dino and Shelley.
I have worked in a travel agency for 37 years. During that time, I have organized countless group tours to many countries. Never have I encountered a tour guide as wonderful as Mimo, our professional tour guide in Cairo. He demonstrated incredible co-operation, responsibility, efficiency, liability and trust!!! His knowledge during the tours was truly inexhaustible! When you visit Cairo, ask for Mimo and only Mimo as your tour guide. You will be absolutely delighted!
We had an amazing experience on the Private Tour to the GEM and Giza Pyramids, and our guide, Mimo, made the day truly unforgettable. Mimo is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and professional. His passion for Egypt's history and culture really brought every site to life, and he was always happy to answer our questions with detailed explanations. He went above and beyond throughout the entire tour to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The tour was very well organized, and having all entry tickets included made everything smooth and stress-free
I love the way he explain everything with details.
if I could give Doaa 100 stars I would!! she was the absolute best tour guide we could have asked for! she was very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about her job, which made our experience that much better. the next time i come to Egypt, i am giving her a call!!
It's a LOT of walking, but worth it! It can get really hot in the pyramids but agin, worth it. The people are amazing. Our guide was AWESOME!
We had a great tour of Aswan, the Nile River, Cairo and Alexandria. The Grand Egyptian Museum was amazing with Tutankhamen's treasures. Going to the Valley of the Kings and Queens just opened your mind to question what can still be hidden here. We requested an Egyptian cooking class with Bellies En-Route and together prepared and cooked a wonderful meal. Memo was a great guide in Cairo and Alexandria. While Mina showed us Abu Simbel, the temple of Queen Hatshepsut and much more.
Had a great day very informative our guide took some good photos and a short video for us
A great day trip . We opted for the VIP tour. Our guide Wael was knowledgeable, friendly, and always looking out for what we wanted to experience at our stops. Five star experience!
Great tour company and guide Wael was our guide and he was very prompt, informative, and knew his history of Egypt. We opted for the VIP tour package. Everything was flawless. Highly recommend!
The tour to GEM & the Great Pyramids was well worthwhile. Khaled is a very friendly, knowledgeable guide who was able to use storytelling to bring history to life. It made the massive sites much more digestible and I would recommend him to anyone!
Mimo was absolutely wonderful!!!! he met us at the hotel and took us to the gym and slowly took his time giving us all of the details and leaving usour own time to walk around and take in the museum without rushing. Then he took us for a coffee at a local coffee shop, a local papyrus shop, and lunch at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the pyramids. Then he took us to the pyramids of Giza, where heexplained all of the history as well as a fun camel ride with fantastic pictures. He arranged a special photographer at the sphinx for us to get some fantastic pictures that will surely end up as some holiday cards for us! At the end of the day, memo delivered us back to our hotel after a wonderful and full day of memorable sightseeing. He and his driver were wonderful and we could not recommend him higher to you!
Fantastic ture with our guide/Egyptologist Doaa. She is one of the best guide I ever been in a ture with, we see everything we would like to see Pyramides, sphinx and GEM. Tutankhamen collection in the GEM is outstanding. I’ am sure that I will come back to see Cairo again.
Amazing experience with very kind driver! Highly recommend!!
Mohammed really helped us navigate the beautiful new GEM museum by showing us key artefacts and providing relevant historical context information. As it was a private tour, we also visited the Citadel & Mosque before heading to Khan El Khalili. A very nice day.
We visited the great pyramids and grand Egyptian museum with Mimo in March 2026. Mimo expertly navigated us through the sites well avoiding the crowds and was incredibly insightful with sharing his knowledge. We had a fantastic day and would highly recommend to others.
Today we went to the great museum with Mimo as the fantastic guide with us. It was an amazing experience , very professinally helped with every explanation we could ask for. In the end we got enough free time to explore on our own. We very highly recomend Mimo as guide and as very helpfull person!
Our guide Mohamamed had much knowledge and experience. He guides you through the museum and the piramides with stories. It was not just a history lesson, he told a story with great detail so you trully understand the greatness of the piramides and the museum. Very patient and could answer all our questions.
Recommend Tour guide Having traveled to Egypt on many occasions, I can confidently say that I have never received historical information as detailed, accurate, and comprehensive as on this journey. This guide is highly knowledgeable and deeply committed to preserving and protecting Egypt’s cultural heritage and sacred historical sites. With great professionalism, they ensure that these invaluable landmarks are treated with the respect they deserve and actively discourage any actions that could cause damage to ancient monuments. Their dedication, integrity, and passion for history are truly admirable. I strongly recommend their guiding services to anyone seeking an enriching, respectful, and educational travel experience in Egypt. Thank you once again for an exceptional and memorable journey.
We were picked up from our hotel by Mohamed Kamel . He has very good and deep knowledge about Égyptien civilization and history . We were very about his explanations and organisation of our visit to this new , huge, museum. I highly recommend !
Mimo was wonderful. We had him guide us for the day around the Pyramids, the GEM and the Bazaar. We had such a great experience and he even made a video for us with memories from our day.
My wife and I had Mimo guide us for 2 days around Cairo and GEM. The second day being first day of Ramadan. I am sure that talking for hours without even a sip of water must have been tough. He took it all in his stride like a true professional. He is friendly and knowledgeable and I can highly recommend him as a guide.
Awesome trip with our driver and guide Mr Capoo. He has shared a lot of information about GiZa and Cairo and Egypt as a whole. Very patient and enthusiastic guide who made our trip to world wonders memorable.
Great trip and fabulous information and suggestions all through the trip with our guide Capoo. Overall, it is highly recommended and you will enjoy your time.
Mimo (Mohamed) was a great tour guide and answered all questions and was always patient would definitely recommend him
