Tour Guides Agree - Hamad is the Best
Tour Guides Agree - Hamad is the best. During our memorable day exploring Sakkari and the nearby Red Pyramid and Bent Pyramid we received numerous positive reviews on our choice of guide from an unusual source; other guides. The guiding fraternity seems like a friendly bunch and perhaps it is partly due to having shared a rigorous 4-year curriculum required for all licensed tour guides in Egypt. Even so, having multiple guides make a point of stopping and saying something like "oh, you've got Hamad, he's good" or "your guide, he's the best" was a new experience for me. I'd love to take credit for putting in the time to research the best guides for private tours in Egypt but honestly I was just lucky and took the recommendation from the hotel we were staying at.
The hotel information is in a separate review but if you choose to stay there you will doubtlessly be offered the same options. I will take a little credit for ordering something not on the standard tour menu. I know my speed and attention span well enough plus factoring in a hot climate and the desire to get a little distance from the most hectic tourist sites, I was able to pick a handful of things I wanted to see and a rough timeframe. Hamad came back with a custom itinerary and a custom price to match. Everything is optional and Hamad had more options if we wanted to explore further. Next time.
For this trip Hamad put together a fantastic itinerary with fascinating insights into some of the most significant archeological sites of the Giza plateau. Mix vast historical knowledge, great sense of humor, sixth sense driving skills and an honest straight forward view of life in modern Egypt and you have an unforgettable experience with Mr. Egypt. Highly recommended.

Best Way to See Giza
Hamad was a fantastic tour guide. He’s very passionate about the history of Egypt, and could convincingly answer any question we asked of him. The tour was advertised via our hotel as being 4 hours long, but Hamad took us to multiple destinations over the course of 10 hours. Professional, courteous, and knows how to handle security guards, beggars, etc. Fantastic day!

The tours are an absolute star!
A fantastic tour. This tour won’t disappoint! Hamad, was incredibly knowledgable. He gave me lots of historical and cultural information and was more than happy to answer questions.
Hamad, is a very charming person who, in a very personal way, has made me discover the essence of so many places we visited.
Thank you Hamad for this enjoyable time together.
Highly recommendable. Rest assured that I will refer to your services once I will talk about my unforgettable Egypt visit.

Go, take Hamad's private tour
Organised by the supreme staff at Pyramids View Inn (see separate review there), we went on an all day tour with Hamad. He first showed us the Giza plateau with the "main" pyramids and the Great Sphinx, then Memphis, Zafar and Sacara. We also stopped at a papyrus outlet of the Egyptian government where the production process is explained and you can also buy some really good ones. Besides a camel ride, the tour came also with a late lunch. We used a private car and did not go in a larger group.
But back to Hamad. This guy is not only as friendly as all the Egyptians we encountered on a short visit to Cairo, but also very knowledgeable about the different periods of Egyptian history. In a more practical form, we found it helpful to follow his advice regarding where to go and whom not to tip. He kept good track of the time, but never rushed us. And never got tired of snapping pictures when our arms got tired of the selfie mode..
Great job, Hamad !

Nice Giza, Memohis and Saqqra tour!
Hamad was really nice and knows a lot about Egyptian history! He provided a lot of details and answered all my questions. Was always happy to take pictures or make stops. The car is also very good with air conditioner.
I am a solo female traveler and always felt super safe.
