About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- waltersA162BH0 contributionsAwesome Experience!Ahmed Awad was our guide in our trip to Egypt. He met us in Luxor and was with us along the way to Aswan. Very knowledgeable guide, very informative. My wife and I learned a lot from him. He was very pleasant and respectful and gave us very good advice on how to safely navigate through street and merchants, which can be a challenge. We felt very safe. He was also able to share a lot about his culture and religion and every day life in Egypt. Very good experience. I would definitely recommend Mr. Awad.Written 8 October 2024
- Passport385874216870 contributionsAmazing day 2Day two with Mohamed and Sayde they were amazing again today and very knowledgeable about the culture and history of Egypt. As Mohamed has a degree in Egyptology. They went above and beyond to make sure he had everything we needed and were well taken care of. I highly recommend them to anyone coming to Egypt and looking for a truly authentic Experience!Written 5 October 2024
- Angela C0 contributionsBooked tour guide’s Majamed and SayedHad a great day touring Cairo and the Egyptian museum with Majamed. He’s a very knowledgeable man and took time to explain the area and what we were seeing in Cairo and at the museum. The driver Sayed, even went out of his way to make sure I got a few last minute gifts for my dad, uncle. I loved the tahin hummus that Majamed introduced me to that he got me some as a gift to take home. They are both amazing people. So much so that invited myself to Majamed’s wedding (and he accepted). If you find yourself in Egypt, and I hope you do, please ask for Majamed and Sayed.Written 5 October 2024
- Angela C0 contributionsAmazing tour guides in EgyptI had the pleasure and privilege of spending the day with Mahammed and Sayed (our driver). We had a great tour seeing the pyramids, sphinx, perfume oil shop and cotton store. Sayed was a safe driver. The traffic around the area is very bad and he did a good job of navigating through traffic and keeping us cool and safe. Mahammed has a degree in Egyptian history, so we were learned a lot of information. After the tours, we had a traditional Egyptian lunch at Oasis pyramid view. The food was delicious. 10/10 would recommend using this company and asking for Mahammed and SayedWritten 4 October 2024
- Passport385874216870 contributionsSpecial experience at the pyramidsSayed was a wonderful driver. He is very safe and kept us protected in traffic. Mohamed the guide is very knowledgeable and very friendly. He took his time and explained everything and answered all are questions. He is very professional and protective of his guests. I would and will highly recommend them both to anyone waiting a truly professional and special experience in Egypt.Written 4 October 2024
- S9669FUkimm0 contributionsA must!Great individualized tour highlighted by Mohamed’s detailed knowledge and flexibility. And special thanks to Sayed the wonderful, kind driver!Written 1 October 2024
- 713iyc0 contributionsDr Azab the bestEnjoyed a 4D3N cruise on the Upper Nile with tour guide Azab, a professional Egyptologist and photographer 😆 who also offered a fresh perspective on the common "tourist scams" that I had only heard about previously, which actually made me feel more prepared when I encountered them firsthand during the trip. Just few inconveniences to be aware of when booking your trip: 1) Tour schedule was a bit off - had a few days setting off before dawn and finishing at noon.. 2) The cruise (aka floating HOTEL) didn't offer mini bars in the rooms. Had to purchase even water at the restaurant. 3) No free WiFi on cruise either. Local SIM didn't work all the time in upper Nile. Cruise staff was uber lovely and friendly tho 👍 Despite few bumps along the way, overall experience was delightful. I was well taken care of and had the best falafel 🥙 treated by Azab 😋 Highly recommend this tour and guide!Written 29 September 2024
- S9669FUkimm0 contributionsAn exceptional guide and experienceFor 5 fantastic days Ahmed Sliem was my guide from Luxor to Aswan. Seeing many of the sites on land and along the Nile cruise, he was an amazing, knowledgeable and caring guide. He clearly individualized experiences to what I was looking to see and learn about and even made a birthday surprise for me while on the cruise. And I must give a special thanks to Honey who was an amazing driverWritten 26 September 2024
- 713iyc0 contributionsGreat one for solo travellersAhmed was very helpful in planning and arranging the itinerary. Got picked up and sent to the hotel smoothly with local SIM provided. Local tour guide in Cairo, Mohamed, was a knowledgeable Egyptologist. I was given one-to-one lecture on the pyramids and temples and statues around Cairo. Looking forward to next few days of the tour!Written 26 September 2024
- T2575JDkimm0 contributionsexcellent tourExcellent guide driver Guie has superb knowledge which soentiched my trip to Alexandria learned so much about the historyWritten 26 September 2024
- Journey007845275210 contributionsOnce in a lifetime opportunitySeeing the pyrimids and sphinx for the first time was amazing. Riding a camel at Giza was fun! Learning how they make the papyrus paper was so interesting. Our hotel had the most perfect rooftop resturant with breathtaking views of the pyrimids! The best part however was our wonderful guide Haithom!!! He was informative. He knows so much about Egypt history. We felt like we were home. I can't say enough great things about the guide. Truly He made the experience extra special. Oh and he takes the best photos! The driver was also great and car was always nice and cool. I felt safe and cared for this whole trip. If you are unsure about this travel do yourself a favor and book. You won't regret it.Written 25 September 2024
- Journey007845275210 contributionsWonderfulThis is a very busy day. There are so many wonderful things to see. Ahmad Awad was very informative and know a lot about the history. Sekhmet was a wonderful place and had beautiful alabaster. Lunch was amazing so much great food! Cars air conditioning didn't work super well so it was hot for sure!Written 25 September 2024
- Y1916IYjamest0 contributionsJakada is the best.Ahmed Awad was our guide. He was amazing at get us around in luxor. He was very knowledgeable and very kind. Jakada has really hired some amazing people. We went to the Sekhmet alabaster place where we found the most amazing carvings and wonderful handcrafted items.Written 25 September 2024
- Y1916IYjamest0 contributionsBest tour everWe booked a 4 day trip to cairo and luxor. We were blessed with having Haithom. He was a very knowledgeable egyptologist and was able to help us understand the culture and history behind the amazing things we saw in cairo. 10 out of 10 would rebook with Haithom. He was kind, knew everyone and all the right places to go. He helped us get around to everything and recommended the best food. Thank you jakada for connecting us with such a wonderful guideWritten 24 September 2024
- clairessaf20240 contributionsA lot to seeMy guide was Azab. He was great at explaining the hieroglyphics. I appreciate the extra suggestions of sites to see even if they aren't super popular because there are a lot of really nice, interesting places to see that don't get a lot of attention. You can add on the extra suggestions or not; it's just good to know the options. This was part of a two week tour.Written 21 September 2024

Im extremely big on customer service, Jakada Tours didn’t disappoint. I was indecisive & changed my itinerary at least 3 times, Ahmed remained pleasant and assisted me every step with trip planning.
Upon arrival into Cairo, I was warmly greeted at customs by Jakada’s Representative “Ashraf”, I handed him the $25.00 USD needed to obtain the necessary entry visa, completed a form needed for immigration and was headed to pick up my luggage within 5-10 minutes.
Although my stay was brief (1 full day) I got to do and see more than I could have imagined. I experienced professional & personalized service with Ahmed, Ashraf and Ayman. Everything was awesome. We visit the Egyptian mall, shop for Egyptian oils, paintings, even did Giza Pyramids the Sphinx, along with camelback riding (I am a big old scaredy-cat) they made me so comfortable, I was riding like a pro in no time. After the fun filled day, I was taken to my Giza resort to relax and freshen up before being picked up for more fun onboard an entertaining dinner cruise on The Nile River complete with a Belly Dancing and Buffet Dinner.
As a solo traveler, as well as a worker in the travel industry, Im NOT easily pleased, and I will
definitely be back again soon, with JAKADA TOURS!

We were a group of seven traveling together. Jacob and Sam made the day absolutely seamless - picking out places we didn’t know about and bringing us to places we requested. The van fit us all nicely and was air conditioned (cannot stress the importance of this enough!). Jacob helped guide us on tipping, local customs and history. We have a whole other week booked with him and we cannot wait! Best decision we made was to contact Jocob and Jakada!

My favorite part was Memphis. The city of Memphis is so beautiful and our tour guide really knew what he was talking about. He knew what he was talking about for everything, but hearing descriptions and being able to talk about the history was just amazing.

This tour was honestly the most AMAZING experience!!! Sherif was incredible and was really accommodating, especially when I wanted to see a couple of tombs that weren't usually included on the tour! I would highly recommend him as a guide, as he was super knowledgable and friendly (also an excellent photographer!!), and made me feel really comfortable as a solo female traveller. My driver Ehab was also fantastic, he was really funny and warm, and made me feel safe on the busy roads at all times. 10/10 for this tour, the guide and the driver!!!

This tour and my experience was AMAZING! Ahmed was so attentive, patient, protective, engaging, thorough and extremely knowledgeable. He and his team provided us with first class service. He is also a fantastic photographer. He truly went over and beyond to show us a grand time. Ill be forever grateful for the wonderful experience. I would highly recommend him and this tour.
A couple of helpful tips.
1. Wear comfortable shoes with a good grip. Preferably closed toe if you can.
2. Prepare yourself for a long day filled with adventures. So pack some snacks.
3. Follow Ahmed’s lead and trust him. He will make sure you and you’re party have an experience of a lifetime.
4. Embrace every moment

One of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had! Egypt is my dream trip - I am happy to finally make it. My guide, Sara, made it even more special. A trip of a lifetime that I will remember and cherish forever. Sara has great energy, and she is accommodating and knowledgeable. She is effective in planning the day and navigating the sites and setting up vendors for activities. She shared facts and historical stories that were interesting and new to me. I learned so much, just in my first day with her. Would recommend this tour and guide to everyone I know who are planning on visiting Cairo.

Jacob was our guide and Hossein was our driver for this tour. They were a fantastic pair to provide us with a comprehensive tour of Saqqara, the Giza Pyramids, and including lunch at an authentic Egyptian restaurant. Jacob was kind enough to be our designated photographer, helping us to capture perfect shots to preserve our memories of this awesome trip. Both he and Hossein were accommodating of our interests and comfort, allowing us to customize our itinerary. Jacob provided an excellent historical perspective of the different sites we saw and answered all of our questions. I would hire them again for a private tour in a heartbeat!

I can’t say enough good things about Ahemd and his team! His customer service is unmatched! Ahmed’s good service started before we even got to Cairo. He was prompt with his reply when we sent emails and super helpful with assisting us with picking the right tour for our group. On the day of the tour, Ahmed was patient, flexible with the time, accommodating and had a great attitude (even after a long day of walking and working with a group of our size). Good customer service is HIGHLY important to me and trust me… Ahmed nailed it! I absolutely recommend Ahmed and his team and if I could, I’d give them 10 stars!!!

The tour was amazing. Our guide Sherif was fantastic! He is full of knowledge and clearly very passionate about what he does. Also he should be a photographer...he took so many great pics of my wife and I and knew all the best spots for great shots! Did I mention he is very funny? Well he is...and he is great to just have conversations with. Today was just the best experience for our first tour in Egypt. our driver was great too and very friendly as well. We will be recommending this tour to anyone and everyone! Thank you Jakada tours!!
