The detail she provided throughout the trip was extremely informative and it balanced education and enjoyment really well. I can’t recommend Maryam enough if you not only want to explore these sites in great detail, but she will also feel like a close friend rather than just a normal guide, which I think is priceless!Written 27 October 2024

- PremkumarElangovan0 contributionsWonderful trip with a fantastic tour guideWe wanted to see the pyramids and other historical sites in a day. Mariam picked us up exactly at 8am and offered us a perfect guided tour. She managed to time the attractions so that we can see them all before the crowds built up. Our little boy kept shooting questions at Mariam, she patiently answered all the questions in a funny way. We had a great time and a trip to remember for life.Written 23 October 2024

We had another great tour with Miriam, starting the day by visiting the older part of Cairo which is still walled. We were planning to go to the textile museum which turned out to be closed due to their collection being transferred to the new unopened museum! None the less our guide made the best of it by showing us historic mosques and a public bath place still in use. (No, we did not go in) . It was fascinating to visit this area where few cars are allowed and most travel by foot.
The second part of trip was the national museum- what a collection. I was so glad we had Miriam as our guide. She tied all the artifacts and art seen in the museum to the sites we had visited in Giza, Memphis and Saqara the previous day. Without her guidance and knowledge we would have missed so many of the connections, as the museum was crowded and the signage was poor. After leaving the museum, we had a great lunch and visited the government cotton gallery which featured excellent appliqués, clothing and items for the house. It was another great day and we were safely Maneuvered through crazy traffic and crowds of tourists!

My son and I had a wonderful time! Maryam was an absolute delight! She truly took care of us! Personal attention, knowledge of the history and providing many detail you will not get on group tours. Booking a private experience is worth the value. Being able to make adjustments and personalize your unique needs is what makes your trip special and memorable. Do not hesitate to book your next tour with Maryam!
Oh… be sure to ask Maryam to take you to local restaurant for a traditional dish called Koshary! Sooooo good! So far it’s my favorite dish I’ve eaten here and the restaurant was filled with locals (not tourists) so you KNOW it’s going to be good!

We had a great day out with Maryam in Cairo getting to see all the major historical sites. She is so knowledgeable and set the pace perfectly, making sure I understood the importance of each site.
I would recommend Maryam as a tour guide 100%, she is friendly and makes you feel right at home. I will miss Maryam for the rest of my Egyptian travels.

If you are looking for the very best tour guide make sure you can work with Maryam. She is 100% worth every dime. She is passionate and funny and very knowledgeable. She will take you and show you all the most important Egyptian artifacts while also showing you the history about them. She knows every object that isn’t in Egypt and she was willing to let me try Egypts most famous dish “Koshery” she did not take us to a tourist location but a local one that makes some of the best in the city.
She’s a blast. I could write a book about how good the experience was. 10/10.

I have dreamt about visiting Egypt since childhood, the Museum visit truly enhances the visit and allows you to immerse in their culture, history and treasures. With Maryam by your side you are sure to take in all the knowledge and beauty of it. We requested her a Faluca to see the sunset at the Nile, she was so thoughtful and fun with every detail of the experience. Top recommendation.

Maryam was amazing! She tailored our outing to fit our specific interests, and made astute suggestions about the most interesting things to see. I think she knows every inch of Cairo!
It was particularly great to get a personalized tour of the Egyptian Museum. Her explanations went far beyond the placards posted by the artifacts -- we got so much more out of the experience by seeing it with her!

The sites were breathtaking but Maryam made this a 5 star experience! She without question loves to share her vast knowledge of Egyptian history and is very well organized. She effectively rearranged the tour sites so that we would be ahead of the crowds - just amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I would highly recommend her services.

Another awesome day out with Maryam. We did this tour on our second day in Egypt after seeing the pyramids, Memphis and Saqqara and I would highly recommend. The Mosque was beautiful and the museum had way more incredible artefacts in it than I had realised. Maryam has a deep knowledge of the ancient Egyptians and was able to explain everything in the museum clearly and articulately.

Maryam is a fabulous guide
At the Egyptian museum she shows you and explains the major works, she is passionate and she is keen to share her knowledge.
The visit to Cairo is enriching and allows you to discover the two religions that live side by side in Cairo.
We recommend Maryam for her professionalism and communicative joy.

The mosque was spectacular and Maryam our guide was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve always dreamed of seeing the Egyptian Museum and it was everything that I expected it to be. It was a dream come true, we saw king tuts mummy mask and thousands of ancient Egyptian artefacts, Maryam guided us through explaining each section of the museum. 5 star experience
