An Unforgettable Journey Through Egypt — Made Truly Special by Hady
Some trips leave you with photographs and memories. Others leave you with a curiosity that stays with you long after you return home. My journey through Egypt was exactly that — and a huge part of this experience was thanks to Hady.
From our very first contact, I immediately noticed how passionate Hady is about what he does. He never simply showed us the temples and gave us historical facts. He made us stop, observe, question and imagine what life must have been like thousands of years ago.
The way he tells stories, gives examples and brings history to life made us fall in love with Egypt, its ancient mythology and its incredible civilization.
As someone who has always been passionate about History, I was genuinely amazed by how much I learned during these four days. Hady is an archaeologist with a Master’s degree in Egyptology and hieroglyphs, and his knowledge is truly exceptional. You can immediately feel that this is not simply a profession for him, it’s a genuine passion and a major part of his life.
We learned about pharaohs, royal successions, gods, religion, mythology, hieroglyphs, archaeology, ancient Egyptian culture and archaeological discoveries. What impressed me most was his ability to explain extremely complex subjects in a simple, clear and fascinating way.
He also had an incredible talent for making us imagine not only what we were seeing, but what happened before us. He made us think about how people lived, what they believed in, how they understood their gods and their world, and even how the first archaeologists searched for temples and tombs and tried to uncover the secrets of this extraordinary civilization.
After listening to Hady, the temples were no longer simply ancient monuments. Every wall, statue, representation and obelisk seemed to have a story behind it.
We visited incredible places including Abu Simbel, Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and Luxor Temple. The size and scale of these monuments were breathtaking, but Hady’s explanations allowed us to truly understand what we were seeing and appreciate their historical and cultural significance.
One thing I particularly appreciated was the way he always valued our questions. He was happy to explain things again, add curiosities and make sure everyone understood, even when someone found it more difficult to communicate in English.
His relationship with the whole group was exceptional. He connected equally well with adults and children, keeping everyone’s attention and making the experience engaging from beginning to end. It never felt like we were simply listening to a guide, we were part of the story.
But beyond his extraordinary knowledge, Hady is an exceptional person.
Throughout the four days, with temperatures above 40°C, he was constantly attentive to our comfort and wellbeing. He always checked that we were doing well and looked for solutions whenever we needed anything. His care and attention were genuine and never felt forced.
He also helped us understand Egyptian culture, customs and everyday life, giving us useful advice that made us feel more comfortable and better prepared throughout the trip.
The organization was excellent as well. The schedule, transfers, transportation and visits were very well planned, and everything ran smoothly from Aswan to Luxor and afterwards on our journey to Hurghada.
The Nile cruise itself was a dream come true. I had wanted to experience travelling and sleeping on a boat on the Nile for a long time, and it was an unforgettable experience. The crew were incredibly kind, the food was a wonderful introduction to Egyptian cuisine, and the atmosphere on board was something I will always remember.
There were also some interesting workshops and visits to local shops, but for me, the true highlight was discovering the temples and ancient history through Hady’s eyes.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing is that the experience did not end when I left Egypt.
Since returning home, I have found myself researching Egyptian history, reading more and wanting to learn even more. Hady didn’t simply give us answers — he created a curiosity that continues to this day. I think that is one of the greatest qualities a guide can have.
I arrived in Egypt without a fixed idea of what to expect. I simply wanted to be surprised. And I certainly was.
Today, when I think about this journey, I don’t only remember the incredible monuments. I remember the stories, the Nile, the feeling of standing in front of thousands of years of history — and, of course, Hady.
There is a huge difference between visiting a place and truly understanding it. Hady made us understand Egypt!
His archaeological background, his knowledge of hieroglyphs, his passion for history and his unique way of telling stories make him an exceptional guide. But it is his kindness, humour, patience, genuine care and love for his country that truly set him apart.
Hady, thank you so much for your attention, your kindness and the care you showed us throughout these days. Thank you for sharing not only your knowledge, but also your passion for Egypt. These were very special days, and I will carry these memories with me for a very long time.
This was not simply a trip to discover Ancient Egypt. It was a journey that made me want to discover it even more.
I absolutely want to return to Egypt, and when I do, I sincerely hope I can have Hady as my guide again.
I’m already recommending him to my friends, without hesitation.
If you are planning to discover Egypt, especially its ancient history and temples, having Hady as your guide can make all the difference.
For me he made all the difference,
Thank you so much Hady!

O guia que tornou a nossa viagem pelo Nilo inesquecível
Uma palavra muito especial para o nosso guia Hady, que nos acompanhou nesta maravilhosa viagem pelo Nilo. 🇪🇬❤️
Foi muito mais do que um guia: foi alguém que conseguiu tornar cada lugar, cada templo e cada história ainda mais fascinantes.
É uma pessoa extremamente instruída, com um conhecimento verdadeiramente acima da média, que domina a história e a cultura do Egipto e, acima de tudo, sabe transmitir esse conhecimento de uma forma apaixonada e envolvente.
O seu profissionalismo, simpatia, cuidado e atenção para connosco fizeram toda a diferença durante a viagem. Sentimos que estávamos acompanhados por alguém que realmente ama aquilo que faz e que tem um enorme orgulho em partilhar a história do seu país.

Uma experiência inesquecível no Egito
Review — Uma experiência inesquecível no Egito
Fomos recebidos pelo nosso guia turístico, Hady, e não poderíamos ter ficado mais satisfeitos com a experiência. É, sem dúvida, um verdadeiro ex-libris do conhecimento sobre o Egito: uma pessoa extremamente instruída, culta e apaixonada pela história do seu país.
Em todos os templos que visitámos, Hady soube explicar-nos, com enorme detalhe e clareza, a fascinante história do Antigo Egito, tornando cada monumento e cada lugar ainda mais especial. O seu conhecimento profundo, a sua simpatia e a forma apaixonada como nos transmitiu a história fizeram toda a diferença.
Mas o Hady foi muito mais do que um excelente guia turístico. Tratou-nos desde o primeiro momento como se fôssemos parte da sua própria família, sempre atencioso, preocupado com o nosso bem-estar e pronto a ajudar em tudo o que fosse necessário. Essa forma tão genuína e calorosa de nos receber tornou a experiência ainda mais especial e fez-nos sentir verdadeiramente em casa.
O cruzeiro pelo Nilo foi igualmente maravilhoso, levando-nos a lugares incríveis e repletos de história. Foram dias de descoberta, mas também de puro relaxamento, acompanhados por boa comida, paisagens deslumbrantes e momentos únicos, enquanto o majestoso rio Nilo nos presenteava com cenários inesquecíveis.
Foi uma experiência verdadeiramente enriquecedora, que nos permitiu conhecer o Egito através da sua história, cultura e paisagens, mas também desfrutar de momentos de tranquilidade e prazer.
Um enorme obrigado ao Hady por todo o seu profissionalismo, conhecimento, carinho e dedicação. Levamos connosco não só memórias incríveis do Egito, mas também a sensação de termos conhecido uma pessoa especial. Recomendamos vivamente esta experiência!

An Unforgettable Experience, Made Special by Hady
We had a fantastic experience in Egypt, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Hady.
The excursion was very well organized and everything went smoothly from beginning to end, but Hady truly made the difference. His knowledge and understanding of Egyptian history and culture are simply incredible. He explained everything in great detail and always took his time, bringing the temples to life through his stories and explanations. It wasn’t just about visiting a monument and hearing a few facts thanks to him, we were able to truly understand the history, culture, and meaning behind everything we were seeing.
His English is perfect and, above all, he has an amazing way of explaining things. Whenever we had questions, he was always happy to explain things again and made sure everyone understood.
But beyond being an excellent guide, what impressed us most was the person he is. He treated my family incredibly well, always showing so much kindness, care, and genuine warmth. He is one of those people you quickly realize is genuinely good and truly passionate about what he does. Without a doubt, he made our experience much more special.
The boat was also excellent. The crew was fantastic, the food was very good, and the entertainment throughout the cruise was great. Everything came together to make the experience even better.
If there is one person who truly made a difference during this trip, it was definitely Hady. We feel very lucky to have had him as our guide and would recommend him without hesitation. This is an experience we will remember and cherish for a long time. 🇪🇬❤️

Une magnifique expérience, avec un guide (Hady) exceptionnel
Nous avons passé un séjour absolument merveilleux lors de cette croisière sur le Nil, et Hady notre guide y a largement contribué.
Hady a été exceptionnel dans toute la gestion du séjour. Il nous expliquait toujours clairement le programme à l’avance, ce qui nous permettait de savoir exactement ce qui allait se passer et de profiter pleinement du voyage sans avoir à nous soucier de l’organisation. Il nous a également tout expliqué concernant les pourboires et s’est occupé de les gérer pour nous, ce qui était vraiment pratique et rassurant.
Il a aussi été particulièrement attentif à notre famille. Comme nous voyagions avec des enfants et que la chaleur était parfois très forte, il a pris le temps de nous donner des explications à bord afin que les enfants ne souffrent pas trop de la chaleur. C’était vraiment très appréciable.
Hady parle également un anglais excellent, mieux que nous ! 😊 Et, il faisait toujours l’effort de s’adapter à notre niveau : il répétait et reformulait ses explications lorsque nécessaire pour être certain que nous avions bien compris.
Grâce à lui, nous avons énormément appris sur l’histoire de l’Égypte, les pharaons, les dieux et les temples. Chaque temple était unique grâce à ses explications et aux détails qu’il prenait le temps de nous montrer.
Nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité, très bien accompagnés et toujours entre de bonnes mains. Sa gentillesse, sa patience, son professionnalisme et son excellente organisation ont vraiment fait toute la différence.
P.S. : Notre bateau était magnifique. Et mention spéciale à toute l’équipe à bord : chaque employé était d’une très grande gentillesse et toujours aux petits soins.
Un immense merci à Hady pour cette expérience inoubliable ! Nous recommandons cette croisière les yeux fermés, et surtout Hady comme guide. ❤️

Grâce à lui, les pharaons, les dieux et les temples prennent vie. Ses explications sont passionnantes, accessibles et toujours adaptées au groupe.

You can’t miss it! Ideal tour to visit all ancient Egypt from Abu Simbel to Luxor
Amazing experience ! You cannot miss it! Our guide, Mohammed Abdo, from Imperial Egypt tours was super helpful all the time. We had high expectations and they superseded it. He made all the explanations at all time in every place, deal with all the details of all the admission fees so that we didn’t needed to be in the queues, arranged everything in every stop we made prior we get there , so we actually didn’t needed to have any concern. Really nice and careful all the time.
The group we went with was also amazing! Experience that we will never forget !
Thank you Mohammed ! All the best for you and your family :) Shkran!
