Oh man! It has been a dream of mine to travel to Egypt since I was a little boy and I was a bit nervous after reading so many reviews online about tourists getting hassled by merchants and swindled by fake tour guides etc. My wife and I stayed in the 9 pyramids view hotel and offered us a tour package to see the pyramids of giza and Memphis with a camel ride!
I'm not really one for guided tours HOWEVER, I'M BEYOND GRATEFUL AND SO HAPPY with my experience with Amira when she gave my wife and I the day tour. She was incredibly knowledgeable of the history of Egypt. Her English is also really great so we weren't struggling with an translation issues at all! She told us stories about the history and the cultural significance of the hieroglyphics. She took control at every stop so that we didn't have to struggle with entrance security or being hassled by other tour guides and souvenir sellers and although I consider myself a somewhat savvy price haggler when it comes to shopping, Amira even haggled for lower prices on our behalf when we wanted to buy some knickknacks from one of the vendors. She was friendly and professional during every step of our tour. If we could, we would have booked every single tour with Amira while we stayed in Egypt. Seriously a great time and she will be the first person I contact should we ever return to Egypt.
