IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING PURCHASING THIS TOUR, DO IT!!!
I've already written one review on this, but I'm coming back with an update. Muhammad's tour was the 1st of 3 that I purchased through this site so my initial review had no comparison. After all 3 tours, this one was ABSOLUTELY the best and most knowledgeable tour I experienced. Compared to him, other tours are simply a "money-grab" from unsuspecting tourists that want to learn more about the history of such a beautiful people and land.
I've been studying Egyptology and hieroglyphics since I was a child (I'm 39 now). I'm not expert, but I know a lot. Muhammad was expert-level knowledgeable, could read hieroglyphics, and explain the religious, cultural, and historical significance of each piece in the museum in a way that excited me as a life-long learner. He was patient and thorough with his explanations and his passion shows with his approach.
Regarding his passion for it- You can tell that he'd do this job for free if he could. There was a time when he explained something to me, as I was taking pictures, he offered a detailed explanation to an elderly man who just so happened to have a question about the item (meanwhile, one of my other tour guides simply sat down and didn't explain anything once she realized that she couldn't BS me by making up explanations and providing false information (even the shuttle driver told me that she wasn't a good person and shouldn't be trusted).
Muhammad is a stand-up guy with REAL knowledge. Do yourself a favor and purchase his tour!
