We had an amazing experience visiting the Pyramids of Giza with our guide Emad and driver Refat. Emad is a fantastic Egyptologist who really knows his history and explains everything in a friendly, interesting way. He made the visit enjoyable for the whole family, including our three children. Refat was also great, always friendly, helpful and making sure we travelled comfortably and safely. As a Christian family, we especially appreciated Emad’s knowledge of Egypt’s Christian history and heritage. I would definitely recommend him to other Christian families visiting Egypt. Thank you, Emad and Refat, for making our time in Cairo so special. We came away with some wonderful memories!
I would highly recommend the guided tour with Emad, it was perfect and instructive with a détailled demonstration on the pharaonic period. We did a double visit to the pyramids and the Grand Museum, it was simple great!
We spent a very pleasant day with Emad as our guide, visiting the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. What impressed us most was his ability to choose what really mattered. These sites are huge and can be overwhelming, but Emad knew exactly where to take us and what to focus on, so we never felt rushed or lost in the crowds. At each stop, he highlighted the key elements and explained them clearly, with real knowledge and passion. Thanks to him, we didn't just see the monuments, we understood them. At the Grand Egyptian Museum in particular, he guided us straight to the most important pieces and brought their history to life. Emad is friendly, professional and well organised. We highly recommend him to anyone who wants to discover these extraordinary places in the best possible way. Thank you, Emad!
Awesome job! We really enjoyed the guide of Emad Salib. Highly recommended.
We genuinely could not have asked for a better guide than Emad Salib. From the very beginning, he was incredibly friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and professional, and he made the whole day feel completely relaxed and enjoyable. Our tour of the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Egypt. Emad explained everything in such an interesting and engaging way, without ever making it feel like we were just being given a history lesson. You can immediately tell how knowledgeable and passionate he is about Egyptian history, and he was always happy to answer every question we had. What impressed us most was the amount of effort Emad put into making sure we had the best possible experience. He was patient, organised, flexible and genuinely cared that we were enjoying ourselves. We never felt rushed, and everything throughout the day was handled so smoothly. Beyond being an excellent guide, Emad is also just a genuinely lovely person. By the end of the day, it honestly felt more like we had spent the day exploring Egypt with a friend rather than simply being on a tour. If you are visiting Cairo and want to see the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, I cannot recommend Emad Salib enough. He made an already incredible experience even more special and memorable for us. We will absolutely be recommending him to our family and friends, and if we return to Egypt, we would book with Emad again without hesitation. 10/10 experience. Thank you, Emad, for an unforgettable day!

Our guide, Emad Salin, picked us from the airport and started a day tour consisting of the Pyramids and the new Grand Egyptian Museum. Everything went very smooth and Emad was very knowledgeable about the history of Egypt, the attractions, and the artefacts. He recommended what admission tickets to buy and how to purchase it (online for the museum). We've definitely learnt alot more about Egypt than if we were to do it ourselves. The duration of the tour was also just nice. Highly recommended!

Amazing private tour in Cairo with Emad Salib. Very knowledgeable guide with great English and explained everything really well. We visited the Pyramids, Sphinx and GEM and the whole day was organised perfectly. The private AC car was clean and comfortable and water was provided throughout the tour. Everything was on time, the pace was great and the whole experience felt very smooth and stress free. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cairo.
We had an amazing day visiting the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Our guide explained everything in a very interesting and clear way and made the whole experience enjoyable and relaxed. He also made extra stops for us whenever we wanted to see or try something special. Very friendly, professional, and flexible. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cairo!
Great experience with Emad Salib. Gave us plenty of time to see the pyramids in detail, inside and out. Optional stops at papyrus and perfume shops were interesting. Lunch was very tasty. The guided tour of the GEM focused on particularly interesting artefacts but time was given at the end to see the rest by ourselves at our own pace.
We absolutely loved our private tour of the Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum with Emad Salib. We’ll be recommending him to all of our friends who visit Cairo in future. Emad was incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful and patient with us. He tailored the day around what we wanted to do and never put any pressure on us. The day was well paced and we are still blown away by everything we saw and experienced. Thanks again, Emad!

We had already spent a marvelous day with guide Emad Salib exploring Saqqara, Dashur, and Memphis, so our expectations were high going into Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum—and somehow, the day exceeded them. We started at the Giza Pyramid Complex, including going inside Menkaure Pyramid, which was a tight squeeze, but special experience. There was plenty of time for photos and to explore around each site. Emad's historical knowledge and storytelling made it easy to imagine how the pyramids were built and what life was like at the time. Every question we had was answered clearly and thoughtfully. We also walked down to the Great Sphinx of Giza. It was busy, but approaching it on foot gave us a different perspective and a more relaxed way to take it all in. We spent the afternoon at the museum, where Emad guided us through the highlights at just the right level—engaging, informative, and never overwhelming. Our time together in the Tutankhamun halls was evocative and the exhibits absolutely mind-blowing. Emad Salib is friendly, humble, and incredibly knowledgeable. He never pushes you into anything and truly tailors the day to your interests. We have no hesitation in recommending him!
We had a great experience from this trip, our guide Emad Salib was very professional, we strongly recomend him.
Excellent private tour of the Pyramids at Giza and GEM. This guide has 22 years experience and it shows in his knowledge. He is patient and answered every historical question we had with ease. The tour was at our pace. The car was very clean and we felt comfortable not pressured in any way. We booked the guide for a second day due to his excellence.
Emad was very knowledge and organized to perform the tour of the Pyramids and GEM Museum. I liked that he did not pressure us into anything
We had a wonderfull trip to Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum on seperate days. We had the same guide for both trips. Our private guide made all the arrangements so that we did not have to worry about anything during our trip. He gave us interesting details about the pyramids. Our guide was open to learn about our needs during the trips. He used his friendly approach to get to know us and figured out our needs for the trips. He then changed his way of guiding to meet our needs. We really enjoyed his company.
We spend a day on Giza Piramids, Sfinx, Saqqara and Memphis. I would reccomend 2 days but it is do-able. It helps if you have a great private tourguide who navigates you so you do not lose time. Our tourguide Emad Salib took us to the Giza Piramids and Grand Egyptian Museum. He has lots of knowledge about the Egyptian History (he tells them with a lot of enthousiasm and also knows the awnsers to a lot of our questions. But more important, he helps you out in every way that he can + if you tell him what you want from him he easily adjusts to your wishes. That makes a trip so much more safe and fun!
We had a great experience with Emad Salib during our visit to the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo. He is a very safe and careful driver, and his warm, polite nature made our whole family feel relaxed and well looked after. Emad’s knowledge and passion for Egyptian history really stood out, and he was always patient, flexible, and attentive to our needs. We truly appreciated his professionalism and would happily recommend him to anyone visiting Cairo.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Guide Our guide at the Giza pyramid complex and the Great Sphinx of Giza was extremely polite, professional, and knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly, answered our questions patiently, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.
We went to Egypt as a family. We hired a guide named Ehmad Salib on the recommendation of another friend. On the first day, we visited the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Museum. Our guide picked us up from the airport. We had a safe journey in a very clean vehicle to the Giza Pyramids. Our guide's explanations and information were very impressive and informative. We also thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Grand Museum. Neither the children nor we were bored. Thanks to our guide, we learned all the necessary information about the important artifacts. We thank him very much. Guide: Emad Salib
Day-1- Giza and Grand Museum “On our first day, we visited the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Museum, guided by our incredible tour guide. Although we didn’t go inside the Giza pyramids, the guide’s knowledge and honesty brought the history to life. We learned so much about the pharaohs, their culture, and the mysteries of the pyramids in such an engaging and clear way. The museum tour was equally impressive, with detailed explanations of the exhibits. Our guide answered every question patiently and made sure we didn’t get lost. We highly recommend this knowledgeable and trustworthy guide!”
We had a wonderful time touring the Pyramids on the Giza Plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Emad Salib is a genuine Egyptologist whose knowledge and passion truly enhanced our experience. He was also very thoughtful, giving us ample private time during lunch while remaining readily available to continue the tour as soon as we were ready. Given the sheer size of the Grand Egyptian Museum, it can be overwhelming to know which rooms and exhibitions to focus on. Emad expertly guided us through the most stunning and important displays—an experience we simply could not have managed on our own. His guidance made the visit both seamless and unforgettable.
I had an incredible experience exploring the pyramids and the grand egyptian museum with our guide, Emad Salib. His knowledge of ancient Egyptian history is truly profound, making every site we visited much more meaningful. What I appreciated most was his flexibility. He tailored the itinerary to match our pace and specific interests. Emad is gentle, kind, patient, and professional throughout the day. If you’re looking for a top-tier guide in Egypt, I highly recommend Emad. Thank you, Emad!
Amazing day tour of Pyramids and Egyptian Museum with Emad Salib. He was extremely informative, answered all our questions, very friendly and accommodating. Thank you Emad!
Had a very informed and interesting day visiting Giza Pyramids and the Grand Museum of Egypt Our guide Emad Salib made the day very interesting with his knowledge of ancient Egyptian history Without a tour guide we would not have enjoyed the visit as much, and highly recommend Emad to visitors of Cairo.
Emad Salib Perfect person for familles, with lots of enthusiasme passion for his work and joyful experience. Strongly recommended
Emad was an informative guide, enabling us to fully appreciate both the history of the pyramids and their significance to the Ancient Egyptians. He explained the science behind the construction and the symbolism of their design and positions. All in all a fascinating and educational experience. Thank you!
I booked a half day private tour of the Pyramids, Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum with Emad Salib, and I’m genuinely glad I chose him. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, organised, and far better than anything I could have planned myself. Emad is not just a tour guide - he is a true Egyptologist who brings every location to life. He explains history in a way that’s clear, engaging, and full of fascinating detail. What really stood out to me was how he tailored the day to exactly what I wanted: the timing, the order of visits, the pace, and even the photo stops all felt personalised rather than scripted. He also handled all the logistics effortlessly - tickets, entrances, navigating crowds, and finding the quietest viewpoints. I never felt rushed at any point, and I always felt safe, looked-after and well-informed. The transport was comfortable, pick-up/drop-off was punctual, and the whole day ran like clockwork. If you’re visiting Cairo or Giza and want a private tour that is reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable, I highly recommend booking Emad. He made one of the world’s most iconic sites even more memorable. Thank you, Emad, for a fantastic day!
Emad Salib is one of the best guides I have ever met. Incredibly talented, friendly and explained in a good way. I will definitely hire him again on my next visit. Top marks from my side.
Our guide Emad Salib was great! He taught us all about the pyramids and Egypt and made the day incredible. Our boys aged 10 and 12 loved riding the camels and learning about the pyramids. It was a great experience and definitely best with our guide!!
Our tour guide, Emad Salib, was fantastic from start to finish! He brought the history of Cairo and the pyramids to life with clear explanations, great stories, and a wonderful sense of humor. We felt safe, informed, and well taken care of the entire day. Highly recommend!
