Profound and unforgettable experience

We were very fortunate to have the knowledgeable Egyptologist mister Yasser on two unforgettable private tours. We spread this tour over two days because we wanted to dive deep into the ancient knowledge and have more time on the archeological sites. Yasser was the perfect guide to do this with. He passionately and profoundly taught us so much about the ancient Egyptian civilization and ancient structures. He was able to answer all our questions, even those transcending academical science. He also brought us to fascinating places on the Giza plateau where most tourists don’t go to, and even gave us the ability to connect with it on a spiritual level. Besides that Yasser is a kind, polite and fun person to hang out with. Will definitely book him again to explore other archeological sites of mystical Egypt!

Great Insights into Egyptian Culture and History

he tour with Jasser was perfect – he is very knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate every request. He shared a lot about Egyptian culture, including how to read some hieroglyphs, and took me to see some marvellous off-the-beaten-path sights.

Giza Pyramid

Knowledgeable guide and very fun! We were my parents, friend and girlfriend and the way he navigated between being informative and making ‘queens’ jokes about my mum was spot on! Can highly recommend ✌️💪🏿

Amazing guided tour

Good morning Jasseer, We just wanted to say a BIG thank you for the guided tour those two days. We enjoyed it so much, the passion you talk about Egypt with and all its history and the emotion you put when you told us all that history is just contagious and in a way you become part and feel like you are actually living all of that past. Everything we saw is well treasured on our hearts, you might be amazed that we didn’t take pictures to everything we saw but for me , when I visit places like these , I prefer to keep everything I see on my mind.. a picture is NEVER good enough for what the image is😊 Still last night I was thinking on how lucky we are of having experienced what we did and how fortunate to have done it with all your knowledge. Thank you very much!! The Wheatley’s❤️

Had a fantastic day thanks to our highly skilled guide.

5 stars because this day was so impressive. Gained a clear picture of how impressive and magical ancient Egyptian civilization must have been. Spirituality was also discussed. The camel ride was great, we got Arab scarves on our heads so we were completely in style. Lunch was delicious. All this under the guidance of the very experienced and friendly guide Yasser Abdelghanni.

Amazing pyramids tour!!!

We visited Giza, Saqqara and Dahshur pyramids with Yasser and it was really wonderful! We got to see everything in a different and much more private way than with the normal tours, it was also great that he showed us new things, since we had been already to these places a few years ago. He has a deep knowledge of egypt and ancient egyptian writing, giving us detailed but very easy to follow explanations of such a great civilization times. For sure we will repeat with him when we come back to Egypt!
