EGYPT   

Hi, my name is Tarek. I'm a licensed tour guide and egyptologist, taking tours in Cairo since 1991. History and culture are my lifetime passion; that's why I chose to be a guide. I'm also a people person. I find people very intersting.
I believe that locals know their and culture better. With a local, you will experience Egypt in a very different way. I know how to make my guests happy and comfortable as I know exactly what they expect. I give them all they expect and a BIT MORE. I speak fluent English.
I offer tailor-made tours which perfectly cover all of Cairo and the neighbouring towns and cities. My tours are quite affordable becasue my prices are quoted PER TOUR not per person. Even if you are on a small budget, you can still afford my tours.
If you would like a certain itinerary, please let me know. It will be my pleasure to tailor it for you. Looking forward to serving you.
I kindly ask you to say my guests' reviews of my tours. You can also see facebook page: www.facebook.com/cairo visits
