My wife and I are Egyptian natives living in the US, and on our last trip home we decided to finally play tourist in our own country. We booked a private day tour with MEV and it exceeded every expectation. Egyptian history is vast and overwhelming, so knowing where to start feels impossible. MEV solved that perfectly. Their curated itinerary gave us a genuine snapshot of Egypt’s religious history in just one day, with every stop feeling intentional and connected. From pick-up to drop-off, everything was completely seamless. No stress, no logistics headaches. It is also more affordable than catching Ubers between sites, with the added bonus of a quality vehicle and knowledgeable guide included. Our guide was phenomenal, flexible, engaging, and happy to tweak the itinerary to fit our needs. He also effortlessly warded off scammers at every site, which is invaluable for first-time visitors. We felt safe and taken care of the entire day. The professionalism across the board was top tier. I’ve already recommended MEV to friends visiting Egypt this summer. Book them without hesitation. You won’t regret it.
