Excellent Private Tour Guide - Great Pyramid and Sphinx at Giza Shout out to Sameh Mohamed! Our tour guide has had a quarter of a century of experience in guiding visitors to the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. He is truly an ambassador for his company, and city! Thank you also to the driver who picked us up and dropped us back at our hotel. All part of one package. We had a fantastic time and Sameh was very knowledgeable about ancient civilization, particularly on Egyptian culture and history. We highly recommend this private tour!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Wonderful Family Experience! This tour was amazing and totally worth our money. We saw the pyramids + sphinx, and they are soooo impressive! We traveled with 2 kids (ages 9 & 15), and they had a wonderful time as well. The whole pyramid complex is well-organized and there are bathroom + drink/snack spots along the way, and lots of photo ops of course. Our tour guide Fatima was very friendly & so knowledgable, and we learned a lot from her about ancient Egypt. She answered so many of our questions. Our driver Saleh was also very friendly & courteous. Both were very professional, and we would totally book another trip with them again.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Exceptional Tour & Guide ! ! ! This was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Cairo! Visiting the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum was already an unforgettable experience, but having Asma as our guide made it truly special. Asma was absolutely wonderful — incredibly knowledgeable, professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about Egyptian history. She explained everything in a way that was fascinating and easy to understand, giving us not only the historical facts but also the stories, context, and little details that made the places come alive. She was also incredibly attentive throughout the entire tour and made sure we had enough time to enjoy everything, take photos, ask questions, and simply take in the experience. Her enthusiasm and warmth made the whole day feel much more like exploring Egypt with a friend than taking a standard guided tour. The pyramids were breathtaking, and the Grand Egyptian Museum was spectacular, but Asma was definitely one of the best parts of the experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo — and if you can choose your guide, ask for Asma! You will not regret it. Thank you, Asma, for such a fantastic and unforgettable day! 🇪🇬❤️Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Today me and my family went on a guided tour with Muhammed Saeed to the Gyza pyramids and the Cairo museum and it was amazing. It is impressive the historical knowledge that he demonstrated. Also he is very friendly and kind! Take very good pictures always open to answer questions and with a smile on his face. It was so cool that tomorrow we will visit old Cairo with him! There is a picture with him and my family!Posted on Google![]()

Yemani and Ahmed were absolutely amazing from start to finish! As I was travelling solo, they made me feel incredibly welcome and comfortable throughout the entire experience. They provided amazing knowledge about the pyramids and ancient Egyptian history, and were both so kind, friendly and professional. They went above and beyond to make sure I had a great day and were always happy to answer any questions I had. I couldn’t have asked for better guides and would highly recommend Yemani and Ahmed to anyone visiting the pyramids, especially solo travellers. They made the experience truly unforgettable! 🇪🇬Posted on Google![]()

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Amazing Tour Guide & Unforgettable Experience We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our tour guide Yasmina! She was incredibly patient, energetic, and cheerful throughout the entire day. She explained every little detail of the history behind the Pyramids, museums, and all the places we visited, making the whole experience so interesting and enjoyable. She also took the time to introduce us to Egyptian oils, jewellery, food, and local culture, explaining everything so beautifully. What impressed us most was the way she interacted with the children—with so much love, care, and affection, making sure they understood and enjoyed every part of the tour. She was always smiling, extremely organised, perfectly on time, and took excellent care of us throughout the trip. Despite a long and busy day, she never once showed impatience and was always happy to help. We are 100% satisfied with our experience and truly glad we booked our trip with Yasmina. She is trustworthy, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. We would highly recommend Yasmina to everyone visiting Egypt. Thank you for making our trip so special and memorable! ❤️🇪🇬 SandhyaGaneshPosted on Google![]()

We had an amazing experience exploring Cairo with our tour guide! Our guide, Mona was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, accommodating, and made our entire day so enjoyable. She shared fascinating information about Egyptian history while making sure we were comfortable and had plenty of opportunities to take pictures. Everything was well organized, and Mona went above and beyond to make our experience special. She took us through Coptic Cairo, Salah El Din Citadel, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and Khan el-Khalili market. She was kind, patient, and extremely helpful throughout the entire day. We learned so much and got to see some incredible sights without feeling rushed. We highly recommend this tour and especially our wonderful guide to anyone visiting Cairo. An unforgettable experience from start to finish!Posted on Google![]()

Yasmin bizim tur rehberimizdi bizimle çok iyi ilgilendi çok samimi ve çok tatlıydı inanılmaz güzel vakit geçirdik ona çok teşekkür ediyoruz 💞💞💓
First time in Egypt? Here's what Misk Tours recommends to every traveler before they arrive.
Pack lightweight, breathable clothing — linen or cotton works best in Egypt's heat. Modest dress (covered shoulders and knees) is required at all temples and religious sites. Bring a light evening layer for cool Nile nights.
The Egyptian Pound (EGP) is the local currency. ATMs are widely available in Luxor and Aswan. USD, EUR, and GBP are accepted at most cruise ships and tourist shops. Always carry small EGP bills for tips and local purchases.
Buy a local SIM card at Cairo, Luxor, or Aswan airport on arrival. Vodafone and Orange Egypt offer tourist data packages from $5 USD. Most luxury cruise ships and hotels provide free Wi-Fi, though signal varies while sailing between temples.
Most nationalities obtain an Egypt e-visa online for $25 USD before travel, or on arrival at Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan airports. Apply at visa2egypt.gov.eg at least 72 hours before departure. must be valid for 6+ months.
Pack a basic medical kit: antihistamines, antidiarrheal tablets, and rehydration salts. Travel insurance covering medical evacuation is strongly advised. Consult your GP about Hep A and typhoid vaccinations before travelling to Egypt.
Egypt is a photographer's paradise, but rules apply. Photography fees are required inside most tombs and some temples. Drones need a permit. Always ask before photographing locals — a respectful smile goes a long way in building trust.
Egypt's climate varies significantly by season. Here's when to go based on your priorities.
Cooling temperatures and rich golden light perfect for photography — one of the most scenic times to sail the Nile
Peak season with cool, clear skies ideal for sightseeing — luxury cruise cabins sell out fast, book at least 3 months ahead
Warm days, light crowds, and blooming Nile banks — the sweet spot for first-time visitors seeking comfort and value
Peak heat with minimal crowds and lowest cruise prices — ideal for budget travelers who don't mind the intense Egyptian sun
Get inspired with travel guides, tips, and real stories from Egypt.
