One full day with Engy in Alexandria

We had a very experienced guide, Engy, from whom we learned a lot about Egyptian history. The lunch was very delicious in a local restaurant.

Spend your day touring with Rasha. You will not regret it!

My mother and I had an enjoyable day learning more about the rich history of Alexandria with Rasha. Our driver was the most calm, cautious and safest chauffer we have ever had the pleasure of riding with in Egypt. Rasha was extremely knowledgeable and we really enjoyed learning from her. She moved at our preferred speed and we shared lovely and warm conversation in between our stops. We asked for a look at a certain district which she graciously coordinated. Our drop off and pick up were extremely smooth as well as our communication. I would highly recommend Rasha and will definitely hire her again shall the need arise. Thank you Rasha and driver for a wonderful tour.

Expert and friendly guide with a great program

Rasha is an amazing guide with a lot of knowledge on the subject. At the same time she is also friendly and we had a lot of fun talking about culture, history, and languages. If you are in Alexandria and need a guide, she is the perfect choice.

Good Day Tour of Alexandria

Rasha and Karim (driver) provided a very good tour of highlights of Alexandria. Karim has a wonderful sense of humor and with Rasha they were a good team. Karim would drop us off close to the sites and waited for us while Rasha walked with us to explain what we were seeing. Rasha was knowledgeable about the history of the sites and answered or questions.

Summary of history

I chose them, and to be honest, I was a little apprehensive, but they were exactly on time. The guide, Shaima, arrived at the hotel at 9 a.m. in a comfortable car, and we began the tour of all the landmarks mentioned in the company’s schedule, with a sequential and amazing amount of information about how the antiquities existed, their age, who lived here, and a comprehensive explanation of the decorations of the graves and mosques, and she was ready for any question with answers. They were very quick to communicate via email. I thank Sister Shaima and Rasha for the beautiful historic day. My advice to female tourists in particular is to choose it without hesitation. I was hoping to attach the videos that were filmed from the tour, but unfortunately only photos are accepted. Sorry if they are not good. Advice: Be prepared to pay with a bank card. Cash is not accepted

I highly recommend Rasha as a guide if you want a tour of Alexandria ! She has the gift & ability to explain history, sights, and objects exposed in Alexandria's museums in an interesting & memorable way. At the right level, paying attention to what you are the most interested in. And she does it with humour :)
