Highly recommended guide and driver!

A great afternoon with our brilliant guide Mo and driver Ahmed. My husband is disabled due to a brain injury and both Mo and Ahmed were patient and supportive- making adjustments to our tour of Sharm el Sheikh when needed. Thank you so much to both of you.

A great way to see more of Sharm

Would definitely recommend this guided tour around Sharm, a great way to see the mosque, cathedral and local shops while learning more about Egypt's history. Mo was a fantastic guide and answered all of our questions. It felt like the right length of time and finished off nicely with some shopping and an ice cream! Great experience thank you

Big of a sales trip

OK, unfortunately thought that he spoke too quickly and rather than give an experience was trying to sell goods. Nice man but, not an experience I would repeat.

Had a wonderful time seeing Sharm El-Sheikh. Mosalah is a great guide. He even bought me some ice cream from a popular ice cream shop. Highly recommend if you want to see and learn the history of Sharm El-Sheikh.
