Magdy Fattouh is an Egyptian travel expert and tour consultant based in Cairo, with 13 years of experience planning private journeys across Egypt for international travellers. A graduate of the Department of History, Faculty of Arts at Cairo University, he brings an academic grounding in Egyptian civilisation to every itinerary he designs. Through Egypt Tours by Locals, he has helped design hundreds of tailor-made itineraries covering Cairo and Giza, Luxor and Upper Egypt, Aswan and Nubia, and Egypt’s remote desert oases.
Magdy guides exclusively in English and specialises in creating itineraries that balance Egypt’s ancient history with its living culture — connecting travellers with local stories, family-run restaurants, and off-the-beaten-path experiences that most tour groups never reach. His area of deepest expertise spans the full Nile corridor: from the Pyramids plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, through the temples of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, to the Philae Temple and the Nubian villages of Aswan.
He also leads desert expeditions to Siwa, the White Desert, and Bahariya Oasis. Every article Magdy writes draws on real conversations with clients, direct experience at the sites, and up-to-date local knowledge — not recycled travel content. His goal is simple: to help you travel Egypt with confidence, spend your money wisely, and come home with stories worth telling.
