Western Desert Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

It was a great trip, our tour guide Mohamed was exceptionally and took us out for a great Egyptian meal, would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Five star. Beware of the boat guys lol at the citadel

We had a wonderful time and our driver Samara was excellent. We booked only car and driver. Samara picked us up and he was wonderful. Since we were going to see the pyramids, we didn't feel the need for a guide. Samara took us to all the places Bent, Red, Step pyramids etc. He even gave us chocolates. We had a wonderful visit to Memphis, Saqqara & Dashur on Aug 31, 2026.Something memorable...as we were heading back to Giza, Samara suddenly stopped the car on the highway and asked to take a picture....we were worried however he said it was normal and not to worry.He took a picture of us, it was classic...thanks Samara. He even gave us egyptian change with Tutankhamun on it. We definitely cherished the coins. Thanks Samara & Emo Tours for a memorable visit.

We had a wonderful experience with Marco as our tour guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and very patient. He made the tour interesting and enjoyable by explaining the history and culture in a way that was easy to understand, and he was always happy to answer our questions. Marco went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time. We truly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend Marco to anyone visiting Egypt!

Marco was a great guide, learned so much and made Cairo very interesting.

The guide Amir el din AbdAllah took care of us the whole time, was super attentive, answered everything for us, and gave us an incredible private tour for just 2 people.

We went with Amir from Emo Tours and everything was great, he knows everything perfectly and speaks very good Spanish, he told us everything about both ancient and modern Egypt. Pick-up and car ride and lunch at a traditional restaurant recommended by him.

Great driver, very nice and accommodating. Although he did not speak English he was using his fone as translator and that was just fine.

Hello, I would really like to thank you all for making my trip more than perfect. I loved today. I loved Hanza and Ahmad. I also loved Mohamed yesterday, and the day before that, I loved all the drivers, coordinators, and guides. A huge thank you to you all ❤️

Half-day tour to Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur, with the driver Amadeo (Ahmed) who was very nice and kind; he helped us with the purchase of tickets and also gave us useful suggestions, speaking Italian discreetly.Definitely a recommended experience.

We had a grand time! We were picked up in a nice and air conditioned car with an extremely friendly and helpful driver. We then took a 2.5 hour drive to Alexandria and our driver was pointing out all the sights to us.When we arrived at our first point, we met our guide, Shari. She was also very nice and gave us some history on each stop. She kept a nice pace too … not rushed, but not lingering either. She also was very nice with the picture taking at each sight. Finally, we had a nice fish lunch in a restaurant overlooking the Citadel before heading back to the hotel.We’d highly recommend this tour!

We had such a great day with our Amira and our driver Mohamed. They both went the extra mile to make sure we had a wonderful day.Ameria had so much knowledge and took the time to answer all of our questions. Mohamed drove with care and they both made sure my 77 year old mother-in-law with some mobility issued was taken care of at all times.Lunch was delicous, the old Egyptian Museum had so many wonderful artifacts, the market held many interesting shops and Couric churches were a wonderful end to the day.This is great value for money and I recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about Egypt!

We had an unforgettable experience, the tour was amazing and I’m glad.Our tour guide mustapha was awesome, guided us through out the whole tour with experience, knowledge, insight and history. He’s such a great guy, kind, patient and easy going.And Ahmed the driver, was kind, professional, polite and cool. He drove us all day carefully and made sure we’re comfortable and got to our destination safely, from pick up to drop off.We did everything on the list and even more, Mustapha recommended Carmel ride, we went for it and it was awesome.I highly recommend booking a tour with them, if you’re planning to visit Egypt. You’ll have an unforgettable and beautiful experience.

You get up close and personal to the pyramids. You get a great history lesson at the museum. Food was amazing and bargains at the bazaar were great too. Hassan was an excellent tour guide. He gives you just enough about each site and gives you time to explore yourselves. Our tour was a private one so our driver always had the car available, nice and cool.

A very enjoyable trip. Both guide, and driver were very professional. I was allowed to visit the sites at my pace. I appreciated the knowledgeable answers to my questions. Everything was very seamless. I would recommend.

A very beautiful tour; we also visited the school where they teach how to make carpets, which was very interesting and truly impressive. The Pyramids are beautiful, and the site is well-maintained. Our guide, Mustafa, was very kind and explained many things to us.

The firm varied. Drinks at reasonable prices. The very varied and beautiful shows. And the Nile in between.
