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.

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

Mustafa took us to both GEM and the Egyptian museum in Cairo as well as the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx. He was so very friendly and helpful, giving us many options to make things easier for us. He is very well liked in the guide community and that was both wonderful and helpful in getting us around.Giza and museums with Moustafa

We had one full day in Cairo and we wanted to see as much as we possibly could. Moustafa made sure thats exactly what we did! He is very connected in the community. He made our entry into Egypt very smooth as well as transportation to our hotel. We met him the next day right on time and he took us to the pryamids, we got to see a tomb, ride a camel to sphynx, see how paper is made, shops, markets, a boat tour on the nile, perfume, and more! It was a great daySee Egypt with Moustafa!

Mostafa's knowledge of Cario's culture, food and history made this tour the perfect way to experience the city. He took us to places that we would never have found by ourselves and made us feel as if we were just spending time with a local friend and we also felt totally safe and comfortable the whole time. He was able to not only explain the food and Cairo as it is today, but also is extremely knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian history, given that he is also an Egyptologyst. I will definitely be checking out his other tours the next time I visit Cairo. So glad we found him and I cannot recommend him enough as your guide when you visit Egypt. Perfect way to experience Cairo.

I thank Moustafa from the bottom of my heart for sharing his love, experiences and deep knowledge and understanding of Egypt, its people and lovely places; his tour was exceptional and he touched on all the important sightseeing areas and was full of energy and excitement and made our trip with him most memorable and we made the most , if not more, of the time we had there!! He made us laugh, take pictures wherever possible, made us understand and feel Egypt and its past..and though the time was short.. I felt I was there for longer! He looked after us so well throughout the trip- ensuring we were comfortable, had eaten- and shopped!! I pray we meet him soon to share more lovely experiences in Egypt- I would definitely recommend him as the perfect guide and friend in Egypt; such lovely people are hard to come by!! Thanks Moustafa for everything! We had an amazing time with youIn Egypt with Moustafa!!
