Here’s the English translation of your passage: --- Today, we joined a half-day tour to the Pyramids and the Sphinx, which we booked through Viator. It came with a private guide and driver. Before coming here, we had already heard about the notorious scams around the pyramids, but after experiencing it firsthand, I didn’t think it was that scary—maybe because we had our guide Yasser with us. Our guide was amazing—he was funny and had a great sense of humor. When we arrived at the pyramids, he helped us take all kinds of photos and videos until we were satisfied. While we were riding camels, he even carried our backpacks and walked alongside us the entire way. Seriously, where can you find such a great guide like him? Of course, since Egypt is known as a “tipping country,” tips are expected—but they won’t force you to give. Other than some upscale restaurants that charge a sales tax, you can tip however much you feel comfortable with. At noon, we had lunch with Yasser and our driver Solba at a local Egyptian restaurant. Yasser ordered us a grill mix (which I jokingly called a “carcinogenic platter” ), but it was actually a pretty tasty Egyptian meal. After that, they drove us back to our hotel. To sum up my final impression of Egypt—there are security checks and police inspecting bags and cars everywhere. But I really like Egyptian people. They’re warm, kind-hearted, and very genuine. No matter where you go, people say hi or ask to take photos with you. But if you stop for a photo, more and more people will keep coming. If I had more time, I’d stop for every one of them. Even if you don’t buy anything, just saying “thank you” is enough—they won’t get upset. It feels like interacting with a friend—natural and relaxed. Thank you, Egypt, for everything. As I write this, I’m getting teary-eyed. This journey has brought me so many wonderful encounters, and I’m truly reluctant to leave. Our trip is almost coming to an end. Wait for me, Egypt! One day, I’ll definitely be back. LOVE EGYPT --- Let me know if you'd like this in a more poetic, travel-blog style!

Fatima was awesome!

We could not have been happier with our guide Fatima. She was flexible with us, made it interesting for our little kids, took wonderful family photographs, and had detailed knowledge of everything we asked about. I wish we’d booked all of our excursions in Cairo with her - great kid-friendly tour that was a lot of fun for the adults too.

Perfect from start to finish

A great day from start to finish thanks to Fatima who is as knowledgeable as she is passionate about Egyptian history. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Looking forward to the next tour.

Just amazing and better with a guide. Excellent value

Pyramids speal for themselves. The guide (Ashraf) was very knowledgeable and the driver perfect for getting through the chaos of Cairo with minimum stress
