About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- H8498LKjoshuac0 contributionsWonderful tour of the Egypt MuseumMarwa is amazing — her academic qualifications are quite impressive and her joy and passion for sharing her knowledge are so refreshing. Her price for us was 750 LE/hour to see the highlights of the Egypt Museum which was very fair considering how comprehensive and downright lovely she is to spend time with! A guide in this museum is especially needed because it is not well organized, overwhelming, and the information it provides is limited.Written 24 October 2024
- Voyager104468610890 contributionsAmazin tripVery interesting during the trip,eventhough it was very hot, Marwah was very kind . We enjoyed this trip. Don't forget to shop of courseWritten 8 October 2024
- Myrto_60 contributionsVisit to CairoWe visited Cairo for 4 days. Marwa accompanied us on a 3 full-day itinerary, based on the sites we wanted to visit in both Cairo and Alexandria. It was a lovely experience. I totally recommend arranging a tour with Marwa. Thank you!!Written 7 May 2024
- 583katherinec0 contributionsAmazing tour with MarwaMarwa is the best. She was our welcome to Egypt and our arrival was flawless. We had such a lovely and informative time with her, she knows exactly where to take you for the special side trips. We were definitely in great hands from start to finish!Written 2 May 2024
- Nomad390507110170 contributionsExcellent serviceExcellent guide with fluent English and rich knowledge. The price is fair for the high-end private tour, no extra charges at all. It’s the best trip you could have ever.Written 15 February 2024
- un2balance0 contributionsBest experience everWe spent a whole day with Marwa at the Egyptian Museum and the experience was overall incredible. Marwa has a deep knowledge of the Egyptian history and we had learnt so much from her. I would say everything was absolutely amazing and Marwa’s the best! Book your tour with Marwa! You won’t regret it!Written 29 January 2024
- Paradise670652916070 contributionsAmazing!!!Marwa is soooo nice! I spent a day and half with her. I went to Faiyum and camel market and museum with her! I am glad I found her. She is super responsible and professional, and humorous. We travel like friends. I also did my first sand boarding in desert! Amazing!! Highly recommend!Written 19 January 2024
- Str1der_680 contributionsGreat Egyptian museum visit to round out our Egypt tripMarwa is so knowledgeable and really brought history to life during our half day visit to the (old) Egyptian Museum. She took special care of our 6Y old daughter as well which we appreciated a lot given that this massive exhibition can be quite overwhelming for kids. I can warmly recommend visiting the museum with Marwa especially if you want to get a lot of context information across the entire ancient Egyptian history rather than just a glimpse of the highlights.Written 28 December 2023
- X291RPdirkk0 contributionsCairo: Best guide and person everWe've had a very, very good time with Marwa. My Parents are 83/92 and she went with us to so many places with a very good knowledge and a friendly smile. Best Tourguide you can get in Cairo, specially for german visitors. Thanks a lot, Marwa, we'll see you in Germany. Janette, Hans and DirkWritten 20 December 2023
- O643XUcindyc0 contributionsMagical 2 days in LuxorWe spent 2 days travelling with Marwa to Luxor, as part of a 4 day Aswan & Luxor trip. Marwa organised the private driver, the itinerary, and tickets. At Luxor we visited Hapshetsut temple, Valley of the Kings, Luxor temple and Karnak. As with our trip with her to Aswan (see my other review), she managed the timing of the temples and sites well. She knew that we like to take photos, and ensured that we were there before massive crowds (crowds are unavoidable at Karnak and Luxor, but we still went at a quieter time!). If you’re okay with a few early starts, you’ll be able to enjoy some of the sites at sunrise, before anyone arrives! We had the most magical experience at Hapshetsut temple. For Valley of the Kings, she recommended the best tombs to see, including which tombs to pay extra for, that are worth it (the main ticket only allows for 3 tombs, and some tombs have special prices as extra). On our last night, we sailed on a felucca down the Nile. This was organised last minute, and the cost was super fair. We also had 2 great local dinners, which was some of the best food we had in Egypt. It wasn’t fancy, but great home cooked, traditional food that has inspired me to look into Egyptian recipes once I’m home! For us, the 2 days were a perfect length of time and not rushed. We had enough time to learn, explore, and take photos. They are full days but for not intense for independent travellers.Written 30 November 2023
- O643XUcindyc0 contributionsAswan, Abu Simbel & Nubian VillageMy husband and I spent 4 days travelling with Marwa through Aswan and Luxor. For 2 days we travelled to Abu Simbel, Philae temple, then onwards to Kom Ombo and Edfu (both halfway between Aswan and Luxor). The experience was incredible. Marwa helped us to organise flights, recommended hotel options to us within our budget (she never pushed us to book somewhere specific for commission), and organised for a private driver. For all the sites, trust her timing - she took us to visit the temples at the least busy time of day, which meant we were able to take amazing photos AND we could walk around and enjoy without pushing through crowds. We arrived at Abu Simbel as hordes of organised tour groups were leaving, and at one point we were one of maybe 15 people at the temple (see photos, it was so empty)!! Similarly with Kom Ombo and Edfu. If you’re willing to have a few early wake ups then you’ll have the temples to yourself. On one of the nights we took a private boat to the Nubian Village, then went for tea at a crocodile house. The experience was the perfect balance between education (I know so much more about the Egyptian pharaonic dynasties, ancient architecture, religion and belief systems), and site seeing for photos that will last a lifetime. I really appreciated how honestly and authentically she runs her business. She worked to our budget, and adapted to what we wanted from the experience. We never did anything we didn’t want to do, nor were we pushed to go shopping. One more thing - we were trying to be very careful with what we ate, and only ate at restaurants Marwa recommended, and didn’t get sick.Written 30 November 2023
- Venture519784371080 contributionsFemale Trip through history and nowadysIt was a spontanous private Tour through Egypt Museum and Manial Palace with the most popular Highlights. As a single travel female gave Marwa also good side notes to the life in Egypt in general. It was a really good time with you. Thank you a lot. 🙏🌍Written 2 October 2023
- amandawL6214GI0 contributionsVery knowledgeable and organized- highly recommended!Marwa is a gem! She has a degree in Egyptology and has a wealth of knowledge on the history, which you can tell she is passionate about. She helped me figure out tours I could do on my budget, and set me up with other women tour guides in Luxor and Aswan. Then I met up with her for Giza and walking tours in Cairo. She’ll paint a picture of ancient Egypt in your mind with her storytelling, and will answer all of your questions. She’s also a super inspirational woman who’s worked hard to get to where she is. She’s an awesome guide for a solo woman traveler, like myself, and would be great for all types of travelers! She’ll set you up and make sure all parts of your trip run smoothly.Written 14 August 2023
- supermanhicks0 contributionsOutstanding tour guide. We love Marwa! Professional and knows how to get things done. 5 Stars is not enough!Outstanding. Marwa is absolutely fantastic. She organizes everything, knows all of the tricks to making your Egypt experience phenomenal. We started with her in Cairo and spent over a week together, going as far south as Abu Simbel. She has a tremendous ability to take any topic and have an in-depth conversation about it. She picked the best restaurants and the best hotels and the best drivers, and we just had an outstanding time. I would do it all over again. It was wonderful to get to know her during our time together. She is a leader and really knows how to make your experience top-notch. I gave her the type of hotels that we liked, and she booked our hotels for us and booked our flights, it was very minimal effort required on my part to make an amazing unforgettable trip happen. We also did a Nile river cruise and she selected a fantastic ship for that, which was a three night sailing from Aswan to Luxor. While we were in Luxor, she organized a hot air balloon ride for us that took us over the valley of the kings, and I highly recommend the balloon ride. Not only did we feel safe the entire time, we had an unforgettable experience that my kids and my wife and I will treasure for a lifetime. Marwa took all of the great and amazing things about Egypt and enhanced them.Written 11 August 2023
- 634devonc0 contributionsAn experience we'll never forget w/ Marwa Tours!I wish there was more than just a 5 star rating because Marwa is the absolute best! My wife and I were very nervous about our visit to Egypt and Marwa was recommended to us from one of our friends that hired Marwa for their visit. Our friends spoke very highly of Marwa and their experience with her so I immediately reached out to her and she was very responsive and accommodating to all of our request. Before we arrived in Egypt, Marwa made sure to schedule a meet up with us after we settled in to our room and she showed us around the neighborhood and made us feel extremely comfortable. That's Marwa's superpower, she's great with making you feel at home and taken care of. We did not have to worry about anything for the remainder of our time in Egypt. We provided Marwa with our itinerary and she made everything happen and even threw in an additional trip to Saqqara. Marwa made sure we had the best drivers to take us to and from our destinations and she made sure to take us to quality restaurants and places to buy souvenirs so we would not waste our money or get taken advantage of as tourists. Marwa is also a highly skilled and knowledgeable Egyptologist and provided us with so much history about the sites we visited. We had such a fantastic time and experience with Marwa as our guide and I cannot thank her enough for making our first visit to Egypt such an amazing experience. If you're looking for a guide while visiting Egypt and Marwa is avaiable, I highly recommend hiring her. My wife and I do not consider Marwa as just a guide we hired, we gained a new friend spending time with her. She's just fantastic! We miss her and look forward to our next visit so we can work with her again!Written 26 July 2023

As three females travelling from Ireland, we would like to say a huge thank you to Marwa who made our trip one to remember. We felt so safe through out all the tours. Her knowledge and passion for Egyptian history had us is awe and we soaked in everything she said. We got to see the pyramids, ride on camels backs, visit two museums, visit the mosque and we even saw mummies. Thanks to Marwa we made memories that will last us a lifetime.

AWESOME day in Cairo. Marwa knows everything to see. I would not want anyone else to show me around such a historic city. She showed us the pyramids, walked us around the Egyptian museum (so cool seeing King Tutankhamen's sarcophagus) and took us to an authentic papyrus shop as an added bonus. I felt very comfortable with her as a guide, and I think it would be foolish to attempt to see Cairo without her.

My fiancé and I did the first floor of the Egyptian museum without a guide and it was a rather confusing and frustrating experience. We ended up leaving to go outside to see if one of the guides who had touted earlier were still available, and we happened to see Marwa who didn’t approach us but was wearing a badge. We got sooooo lucky! She agreed to take us on and gave us the most informative tour ever of the second floor! I was sad when the museum closed and we had to leave (we were the last!) Marwa is one of those guides who really doesn’t care about money, she really just wants to educate and share her love of Egyptian culture. Highly recommend! Thank you again Marwa for saving our day!

If you are traveling to Egypt and you are interested in learning about the country’s rich ancient history, rather than walking past it’s sites, Marwa is the best possible person to do this with!
Her knowledge as an Egyptologist is incredible and she will take you to sites that other tours won’t. Off the beaten path, which in the end will be the most memorable ones.
Her personality is amazing too, so apart from the educational part of the trip she is great to be around and will make you feel safe and comfortable.
Marwa was with us in Cairo for two days and then in Luxor for three, having arranged all the details, drivers, museum, temple and tomb tickets in a seamless manner and made the whole trip of us am unforgettable experience.
We were also very happy to support and independent, hard working woman in Egypt who always works with a smile on her face.
Would highly recommend her to any group or single travelers!

We were referred to Marwa and are so fortunate we were able to secure her services! Marwa is fantastic. Her knowledge of Egyptian culture and history and Egyptology are well-communicated in her excellent English and German. She made our two days with her in Cairo contextual and meaningful. Her ability to discern your group’s interests and customize the tour was so appreciated. And just talking with Marwa was interesting. Whether we discussed daily life in ancient Egypt or modern Egyptian cultural dilemmas, the time flew by and we learned so much.
We were not only guided through all the sites and museums, but she also had great meal suggestions and a very comfortable van with great air conditioning for the notoriously dense Cairo traffic.
You cannot do better than to secure Marwa’s services for your custom Cairo or Egypt tour.

Marwa is amazing - don’t think twice before booking with her. We were in Cairo only for 3-4 days and she made sure we got the most of it. Marwa was insightful, flexible and just great to sit down with a coffee and chat. My husband and I feel so lucky to have experienced Cairo with Marwa.
A special shout out to Mohammad who drove us around the chaotic streets of Cairo!

Review for Giza & Cairo tour with Marwa Tours
My husband and I took a tour with Marwa over several days to visit Saqqara, Giza and museums/sites in Cairo.
During my planning, I wasn’t sure where to start with finding a tour guide with the right experience. Google gave me a lot of group tour options, and many other egyptologists only had Facebook pages. Marwa’s website, contact channels and communication were professional which gave me a lot of confidence.
What I loved about organising our itinerary with her, is that she is not pushy / salesy at all. There wasn’t that feeling that she was trying to add things on that only benefit her. We had a few FaceTime chats, where we talked about what I wanted from the trip, dietary requirements (in case of health issues etc), what I wanted to spend money on and what I didn’t. She was very flexible in adding or subtracting based on what I wanted, and recommending things that suited our budget…even up to 2 weeks prior to our trip!
We had a great time with Marwa exploring Saqqara, Giza, and Cairo. I do not think we could have done this independently. There is so much driving on the crazy, super busy streets. There’s also a lot of police and security checkpoints. I would’ve felt so intimidated doing this ourselves without speaking the language…and we are mid-30s, independent travellers. Even walking around the streets of Cairo, at all times we both felt so safe - Marwa kept us away from the aggressive salesmen so we could focus on taking all the sightseeing in.
Having an Egyptologist meant that the storytelling around the pyramids, the Egyptian museum, and mosques of Cairo was so much richer! She directed us towards the best highlights, and adapted based on the questions we had.
One more thing - Marwa doesn’t rush the day. She’s not just pointing at things and moving on. She gets into the historical, religious and cultural context which is so important to truly understanding the ancient Egyptians and how that shapes society even today.
