    Having your own Egyptologist and guide helps pass the lines and large tour groups. Our guide was fantastic, knowledgeable and very engaging! He gave us great advice and catered to our person asl preferences and needs. His engagement with us was fantastic.

    GEM tour with Omran

    Our private tour was excellent. A really good balance, not bobmarded with dates and shown carefully selected pieces as you can’t see them all!
