Once we got to the pyramids, Nader is a *fantastic* guide. Very knowledgeable, very funny, and he knew where to take some fantastic photos! 100/10, would recommend to anyone looking for a more personalized tour. You can tell that Nader really enjoys telling people about his country and its history.”

Because we went to 5 different stores where we spent close to 30 minutes at each. It is what it is. But our guide Bisho was really wonderful. I give him 5 stars!”
