A must do trip from Cairo/ Giza - We just had an amazing trip to Saqqara, Dahshour and Memphis. Adel was very knowledgable, he made our day trip truly unforgettable. He kept checking what we would like to do and gave us enough time to walk around and take photos. We can really recommend this tour, which takes you through pyramid evolution and is away from the madding crowds of the Giza pyramids.

Great trip! - My ride was 30-minute late, I guess I was forgotten through chains of miscommunication. However, the ride to each pyramid was great! I was travelling with another solo traveler, and this group size was perfect. Our guide Abou explained the history and the background very well, and the driver delivered. The whole trip was pleasant and I learned more about pyramids now.

Best tour guide in Egypt! - Adel was absolutely amazing! He is incredibly intelligent, professional, communicative, and passionate about what he does. I learned so much during our time with him. He also went above and beyond in making us feel safe and supported in town and helped us bargain in the markets, and also took tons of photos and videos for us!
I 10/10 recommend having him as your tour guide! He’s truly the best!

Amazing Tour and Unmatched Guide - I was lucky enough to come across Adels services for this full day tour on my second day in Cairo. I can honestly say that Adel is the best guide you will be able to get in the city, where having one is a must. He took on the duties of both driving and narrating the tour, and did so with patience, kindness, and complete professionalism. This was at the end of Ramadan, and Adel did not skip a beat to make sure the experience was unmatched. He is revered by his peers and was willing to share personal anecdotes that made for a truly authentic experience. Adel had a personal hand in some of the excavations related to this tour, and he is the go to person to make your Egypt trip once in a lifetime (even though it probably won’t be once in a lifetime as you’ll be counting the days until you find a reason to come back)

Egypts Gem, second to the Pyramids 😊 - Me and two friends ended up using Egypt Select for our entire trip through Egypt including Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. They even provided transportation. It was incredible and seamless. Our guide was a local and one the smartest and funniest historian I’ve ever met. Ask for Waheed. I’ve never had a better tour guide. 10 out of 10. For small affordable group tours, they are the best. I feel so fortunate I was able to avoid those 20+ groups going through the temples with a guide that likes to hear his voice. So grateful for my experience in Egypt. Thank you 🙏🏼

A renowed Egyptologist for a Guide - amazing !! - Dr. Youssef is not just a guide but a renowed Egyptologist and we were fortunate to have him do this tour for us. He was the Director of Dahshur excavations and we couldn;t have asked for a better 'guide' if we wanted! This was hands down the best tour we did in our entire trip and his knowledge is understandably heads and shoulders above the usual touristy guides.
We were so impressed that we wound up booking him for our museum tours as well.
I cannot recommend him enough - we absolutely hit the gold mine on our trip to have two full days with him and could see how respected he is everywhere we went with him.

Egyptian experience - Adel is the most fantastic knowledgeable tour guide you could ask for. I did this trip and also Cairo Museum, Old Cairo and the Coptic church trip on a separate occasion. Adel encourages you to ask questions to truly understand the history of ancient and modern day Egypt. He tailor made my experiences by slightly altering the tours so I could get the best experience. Highly recommend
