I have been guiding international visitors through Egypt for [X] years. In that time, I have seen people arrive with detailed knowledge of hieroglyphics, Pharaonic history, and the architectural periods of every temple we visit. And I have seen them walk past an Egyptian street vendor, unable to say 'thank you' in Arabic, and miss a human connection that cost...Read More

Ever wondered how it feels to float on a mirror in the middle of the desert? I did — and I turned that curiosity into a simple, foolproof plan you can follow. I guide travelers from the U.S. with friendly, practical steps so you can enjoy the siwa salt lakes without stress. Think crystalline terraces, salt crystals sparkling at the edge, and calm water that makes for stunning photos. I cover the best salt pools, how long to stay (I aim for about 20–25 minutes), and clear safety notes for sensitive skin or eczema. You’ll get quick tips on keeping brine out of your eyes, rinsing with fresh water, modest swimwear, and timing visits in the hot western desert climate. Book local guides like Egypt Tours by Locals when you want a smooth on-the-ground experience. By the end you’ll know where the beauty pops, how to protect your skin, and how to capture world-class shots — all in a few easy...Read More

I ask that because each place tells Egypt's story in a very different voice. I’ve walked through all three and learned that where you go shapes what you feel and remember. The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square feels like an attic of treasures—crowded, warm, and full of artifacts with that patina of age. The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) is polished and clear, with the Royal Mummies Hall and strong signage that helps the past make sense. Near Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum is airy and modern—big galleries, strict security, and views toward the pyramids. With Egypt Tours by Locals, I help you match your interests—pharaohs, daily life, or sweeping architecture—to the museum that fits your time and travel...Read More

Have you ever wondered how a single route can stitch villages, monasteries, and ancient caves into one living story?

You’ll feel the stone steps under your palm and hear courtyard birds as I point out where the route links Delta towns, Cairo’s sacred core, and Upper Egypt monasteries like Wadi El Natrun and Jabal...Read More
