Maga

Greetings to all! I'm Maga, a licensed professional tour guide with over two decades of experience under my belt.owner of tour guide maga.

What truly sets me apart is the unique blend of academic expertise and cultural connection. As an archaeologist with both a master’s and PhD degrees, I bring deep knowledge and authentic insights to every tour. Fluent in Arabic, English, and Russian, I easily connect with guests from around the world, making your journey through Egypt not just informative but truly immersive and personal.

My adventure in this field began in 1999 when I acquired my tour guide license. Since then, I've been on a quest to unveil the treasures of Egypt. Having graduated from FOTH in the same year, my academic journey has been closely intertwined with my passion for heritage and culture.

Throughout my career, I've explored the diverse landscapes of Egypt, from the serene shores of Sharm El-Shiekh and Hurghada to the bustling streets of Cairo and Alexandria. I've also delved deep into the heart of Egypt, uncovering the hidden gems of Middle and Upper Egypt.

With meticulous care, I've organized and led more than 3000 tours, consistently maintaining 5-star standards and receiving rave reviews from satisfied travelers. My commitment to excellence is unwavering, and I am always eager to provide you with a rich and unforgettable experience.

I earned my bachelor's degree in 1999 from the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels at Helwan University. In 2020, I obtained my master’s degree in Heritage Conservation and Site Management through a joint program between Helwan University, the German Archaeological Institute (DAI), and the University of Technology Brandenburg (BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg) in Germany. In 2025, I proudly completed my PhD in Archaeology, further deepening my expertise in Egypt’s cultural heritage and archaeological legacy.

My journey as a tour leader and guide began in 1999, right after obtaining my bachelor's degree. I have been dedicated to this profession, sharing my passion for exploration and culture.

From 2003 until the present day, I've been thriving as a freelance tour guide, continuously expanding my knowledge and expertise to provide exceptional experiences for travelers like you.

When visiting Cairo, choose Maga as your guide! He is perfect for both: visiting Islamic Cairo and visiting the wonders of ancient Egypt. My teenage son and I spent two individually tailored days with him. He opened our eyes in fascinating and unexpected ways whereever we went. He knows it all, and he knows how to transfer his knowledge. Highly professional, very polite, and very accomodating to all one's need throughout the day. Maga is the best! Absolutely perfect!

We loved Maga who listen when we explained what we were after and delivered. I ask a lot of questions and Maga answered them with details connecting lots of dots for us. He helped avoid the touts and other rip offs in Cairo. Great guide and nice guy.Lots of derail to share.
