Hi there! Nice to meet you

Moustafa

Salam Alaikum my lovely travellers. I am an English/Russian speaking Egyptologist/Tour Guide Also I am the owner of Moustafa Egypt Tours.

We have been organising tours all over Egypt since 2000. I love Egypt and can only tell you what is in my heart and share with you my love for this great land,Nile,History,Locals,Pyramids and its people,You may check one of my books ( A Land Called Ancient Egypt ) The first book in English combine between civilization and the history of ancient Egypt together in one book, published on amazon, Highly recommend to read before visiting Egypt.

No matter how often you visit Egypt,there is always something new to see and discover. I don't know why this is, it's just the way things are in Egypt. As you drive through some of the busiest streets of Cairo towards Giza, you are surrounded on all sides by honking, bumper-to-bumper traffic, then suddenly without warning you see the Pyramids right before your eyes and you not only know where you are, you feel it too. It is the contrast between the old and new and the ease with which Egyptians bridge the gap that I find most amazing.

For anyone heading to Egypt, whether it’s your first visit or returning, do yourself a favor and book Moustafa. No need to look further. He completely enhanced our experience, and the day we spent with him was easily the best day of our entire trip. Moustafa is the real deal. He makes you feel instantly comfortable and taken care of. He’s warmly kind-hearted, funny, on-time and beyond knowledgeable about everything from ancient mythology to modern politics, and everything in between. He is the best of local experts who listens, connects, and tailors the experience to you. In Egypt, we learned that accessing the best locations (and often safety) depend who you’re with. And Moustafa knows everyone. Whether it was getting into the most iconic sites with zero hassle, avoiding tourist traps, or just feeling safe and respected in every interaction—we had that because of him. The locals clearly know and respect him, and that respect extended to us in ways we didn’t expect but really appreciated. On top of all that, he knows where to find truly the best photos, better than you’d dream of. And the best Egyptian food! Everything was clear, transparently priced, and flexible. No pressure, just good energy. He’s also an amazing storyteller. He brought ancient Egypt to life in a way that felt personal and relevant, with connections to world history that made us see things differently. He clearly loves what he does, and you can feel his passion. We cannot recommend Moustafa strongly enough. Plus, a special thanks to our excellent and friendly driver who took care of us from the very beginning to the very end of the tour! Thank you again Moustafa for an unforgettable day.The best guide of Egypt

We asked for a tailored shopping trip taking in specialist shops and the main bazaar. We enjoyed our time and went to the places we wanted to see. We also managed to purchase the gifts on our list so it was also a success. It was a great way to achieve our goal in this amazing city. Moustafa we appreciate you changing the tour to accommodate us. Recommended. Bespoke shopping trip

Moustafa and a driver picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the GEM where he guided us through the museum at a pace that was perfect for us to see the highlights and avoid the crowds. He made it very interesting and efficient, which was exact what we had in mind. We then visited a local restaurant where we sampled a variety of delicious local specialties. It was a great way to start our Egypt vacation!GEM tour and Lunch

We really enjoyed our half-day guided tour with Moustafa! We were a group of 5 adults and one 3-year-old child, and he catered extremely well to all of our needs and interests: he explained the history and mythology of the site, led us to less busy places and into a small tomb we would have never found ourselves, was always upbeat, personable and considerate and made sure that the child in our group had a great time too. At the end of our tour, Moustafa showed us a local lunch spot where the food was absolutely delicious — again, we wouldn't have found it on our own.Giza pyramids off the beaten track :)

We had a wonderful time with Moustafa. He is a lovely person and extremely knowledgable. He customized our trip and was very aware of our pace and level of adventurous spirit. For us, it was a whirlwind of activity and we loved every minute. I would not say this was a “food tour”, but rather a complete experience of local culture. Highly recommend Moustafa! Great guide, wonderful experience

I had just one day to spend on Giza plateau … Moustafa was immensely knowledgeable and bought the history to life … an amazing day of connection with the past and long memories of all the best sights! A fully paid up member of the human race, Moustafa was a joy to spend time with and was clearly committed to ensuring I enjoyed the day. Great value too especially if it’s a long trip to Cairo. Hoping to return and see him again 🙂Thanks Moustafa 🙂

Moustafa was more than just a tour guide; he was a knowledgeable friend who shared his country's rich history with us. His customized itinerary allowed us to experience Cairo and the Pyramids in a way that was both informative and enjoyable. We were especially impressed by his ability to answer our questions and adapt the tour to our interests. We would highly recommend Moustafa to anyone visiting Egypt.memorable adventure
