- 1On this tour about the pyramids, you will be taken back to Ancient Egypt. Even though they are considered as part of Giza, the pyramids are an absolute must do in Cairo. You will first visit the Great Pyramids Of Giza - Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos. Then you will visit the Valley Temple, the place where the Priests mummified the dead body of King Chephren, owner of the second pyramid at Giza plateau. You will be able to have a close look at the Sphinx, the legendary guardian that stands by the huge funeral complex with its lion body and the head of king Chephren. I will make sure that you will take the best photos of your tour in Giza Pyramids.

- Javibanasco0 contributionsSheriff, a Must meet in Cairo cityIt was a pleasure meeting Sheriff! He not only showed us the typical street food, he also explained the origin of the various plates and gave us historical insights about different restaurants and architecture in the surrounding. He is very easy going and good to talk to, so overall very recommendable! As we had to catch a flight at night, we couldn’t stay longer but would certainly have enjoyed spending more time with him.Written 28 June 2022
- Angie_Lalo0 contributionsAmazing experience!We loved this your, using the Golf car was easy and confortable for the tour considering that the area is a bit chaotic, Sherif was an amazing host, we always care about us and he made us feel save and protect all the time, we also knew many details about the Mosques, and all this small details to make us feel like an experts 😅. Something to highlight is his photography skills, he has a talent for it! The pictures are like professional!! And considering that here the people want money for take a picture of you, this is a very useful plus! 👌 He also gave us an extra help for change money with a very good rate, to find something to eat, and also to find a fair souvenirs store! I am very grateful with Sherif, to make the whole experience unique! Don't doubt about taking the tour with him. ❤ You will love him.Written 23 December 2021
- stevejC5079SV0 contributionsA fantastic tour into the heart of Islamic CairoThis was the second tour we took with Sherif and just like his pyramids tour, this one was also amazing. Exploring Cairo Mosques is like taking a journey back in time where you can get a glimpse of the history, the architecture and the Islamic art. These buildings are beautiful and Sherif knows exactly how to bring the story to life in his own magical way. As non-muslims he guided us through the Mosque etiquette introduced us to some delightfully friendly people inside the Mosques and ensured every aspect of the tour was just perfect. Sherif is a brilliant tour guide. His level of knowledge is exceptional, his personality is warm and engaging and he is also going to get you some of the best photographs you can possibly imagine on your tour. Book this guy now. You’ll have a great tour, you’ll get some fantastic pictures and you will have an amazing insight into the history of Islamic Cairo.Written 22 October 2021

- brookeyool0 contributionsGreat evening with Sherif!We only had the opportunity for an evening food tour with Sherif, since the rest of our schedule was already booked; but his tour was our first when we got into Cairo, and it was a great introduction. Sherif's English is perfect, and he is funny and super-easy to talk to. He helped with our food orders as well as guiding us in what we should be eating! All in all, his tour was a great introduction to a fantastic city!Written 7 January 2021

We are different ages with different interests, but Sherif captured all our attention with his knowledge and jokes and tailored our trip to our different interests.

I have been wanting to travel to Egypt for many years and the entire trip exceeded all my expectations, mostly because we had such a great guide! If you’re thinking about going, book your trip with Sherif. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!Written 29 November 2019
- Hadiemamian0 contributionsWonderful guideWe had a fantastic time in Egypt with Sherif! We went as a family with my wife and two kids for 12 days. We traveled to Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Alexandria. He was so knowledgeable that we felt we were with a history professor the entire time. He also took care of us as if we were family, going out of his way on multiple occasions for things we wanted to see and needed on our trip. We felt very safe with him as well. We have highly recommended him to our family and friends. Thank you so much Sherif for a wonderful vacation!Written 29 November 2019

Sherif is the best guide you could ever find in Egypt. Everything was great, he has a huge knowledge about history and archeology. We arranged a privete tour and he took us to the best sites all around Cairo and Alexandria. It's clear he loves what he does. Finally but also important to say, that man is soo good taking photos, you'll get really good pictures to remember your trip. Do not hesitate in take a Sherif's guided tour, it'll be worth it!

I couldn't have chosen better guide to hang around Piramids with, good timing 'AM' that gives space to do crazy things, like kissing the 'air' - if never tried, Sherif will make you do. So much fun I have had, so much laughter, and been fulfilled with great facts about Piramids and Egypt. Thank you Sherif. You are best! The photos are awesome!

I am 18 years old and came to See the pyramids with my mum and dad. We all had so much fun taking great photos and learning about the history of the pyramids. He even touched on the subject of conspiracy theories around the pyramids after I told him I was interested in it! Highly recommend:)

My boyfriend and I got really lucky to find Sherif as our guide, as he filled our day with lots of laughter, beautiful sights, delicious food and most importantly incredible stories about ancient Egypt. He is truly a professional and an amazing guide, full of positive energy and great knowledge. We had an exquisite experience with Sherif, mesmerised by his way of conducting the tour, as he would not only talk but make us immerse into the story ourselves by showing and carefully explaining the ways people were living and thinking those days to build Egypt’s wonders. Massive thanks to Sherif for that memorable experience. We will be back again with our families and friends for sure. Greetings from Maria and Giuseppe❤️

The tour with Sherif was amazing.
It is a crack and knows a lot about the history of Egypt, but certainly the best thing was the facilities that put us when booking the tour and reaching the pyramids.
Also, since we could not return to the hotel, he helped us and brought us himself.
It is nice to coincide with people like that, I absolutely recommend making this visit with him, especially if your English is limited, since his pronunciation is perfect and understandable for all audiences.

Sherif is the real deal. Not only does he make the tour fun, educational, and full of laughs, he goes above and beyond making sure you leave with the absolutely best photos and all of the historical information.
Beyond being a tour guide he is a scholar and knows a ton of Egyptian history and can answer (thoroughly) any question you have. We had such a great time with him that we ended up doing 3 tours with him! I can't say enough good things about Sherif. He is an excellent tour guide and wonderful human being, you won't be disappointed booking him for any tour!

What fantastic tour I had today with Sherif. He is highly recommended and knows the whole history inside out, he answers questions and takes you through the timeline of Egyptian history. We had some access to other areas that tourists don’t get to see like a tomb with hieroglyphics so that was special. And I got a recommendation for him from a review here, and booked him because of that. You should do the same as he great fun, and his picture taking is worth the tour alone.

Sherif made our trip to Egypt SPECTACULAR! His knowledge and understanding of the history of Egypt made our trip even more enjoyable. He has a great sense of humour and personality. Honestly, if we didn’t have Sherif, we’d be miserable!
