Essam was a thorough and knowledgeable guide. He was kind and knew a lot of interesting facts. He was enthusiastic about sharing how interesting ancient Egypt is, and knew his way around the pyramid complex very well. He’s funny and personable!
PS, the camel driver may ask for you to pay the tip away from Essam (halfway through the ride). They will likely try to push you and say the tip is not enough. My recommendation is to make sure you pay AFTER the whole ride is complete, so you can pay the tip with the support of Essam there too. If you are pressured to pay more tip, definitely tell Essam right away and he can help rectify it. The camels were really cute and gentle. Thank you Essam for sharing your beautiful history, it was an unforgettable experience!! :)
