Dear friends who have made visits in Egypt with me
It always makes me thankful to hear that my dear clients who became friends are happy because a very important part of the guide profession is the cultural and personal exchange.
Here is one of our pretty stories;

I received a request from Mr and Mrs Freyburger
Who were looking for a private tour guide who can guide them in the following locations:

Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx
Dashur (Red and Bent Pyramids), Saqqara ( Pyramid, and Serapeum) … –
Cairo Archaeological Museum (Egyptian museum), Saladin Citadel with Mohamed Ali’s mosque (alabaster mosque)

And they asked whether the program can be modified depending on interests and discussed preparation for the next day.

They said among the experiences they want to do is to go inside one of the pyramids of Giza and they are also interested in all that concerns the metaphysics of the history of these places, then they asked if it’s also a part of my interests?
I accepted their request with a pleasure, I offered them a visit program that they accepted, and while Cairo visits, I proposed to change the days of visits to take advantage of the spring feast to avoid the crowd in Cairo and visit Giza pyramids instead of Cairo museum, Eric and Francoise accepted my proposition.

On the Giza plateau, I offered them a ride camel that they accepted and appreciated.
Francoise and Eric thanked me, and it gives me great pleasure to know that my friends customers are happy with their trip with me and I appreciate the comments they wrote on Tripadvisor.
I also have many benefits from the advices given by Eric and Françoise and I took advantage of their experiences on the professional and personal backgrounds.
I thank all my dear customers for their trusting to make their visits in Egypt with me, for giving me much advices to improve myself on all fields, for writing comments either on Tripadvisor , on my Guest book or on Facebook page “EgypteAbir” because it makes the Tourists who want to make visits in Egypt to travel with me and for the pleasure that you give me every time when I share visits in Egypt with you.
You are my treasures, and I hope to keep good contact with you
Sincerely,
Abir

 Alexandria the first port of Egypt, it’s second largest city, it is in the north of Egypt and west of the Nile Delta, extending about 30 km along the coast of the Mediterranean, Founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great. Alexandria was the Egyptian capital during the Greco-Roman period (331 B.C.) until the arrival of the Arabs (640 A.D.) Several civilization met in this city , Pharaonic, Greek, Roman and Arabic, that is why, the Library of Alexandria is really important. The city was always cosmopolitan, a mixture of different cultures, Egyptians, Greeks and Italians.

Alexandria is now considered as the first summer resort for the Egyptians, despite the existence of others such as Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, and it is the Egyptian city that has Greco Roman monuments (the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, the Column Pompey and Serapeum), Islamic monument (Qait Bey Citadel which replaces the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world), and monuments that date back to the era of royalty (the palaces of kings Farouk ) and today, its new library inaugurated in 2002, that makes is a touristic city.
For many Egyptians, when we say the summer, that means Alexandria with its theaters, cinemas, shops and restaurants.

Luxor, the city of a thousand doors, the city that contains 30% of the monuments of the whole world.
Luxor, (known as Thebes) was the capital of ancient Egypt during the time of the new empire which is considered as the most powerful period in Pharaonic Egypt.

The local god of Luxor was called Amun, and when the city became the capital, he was unified with the sun god Ra to become Amun- Ra.

On the East bank of the Nile, there are two complexes of temples dedicated to the divinity of the god Amun- Ra, the complex of Karnak and the one of Luxor
