Ahmed Awad was such a fantastic local tour guide! Clearly an experienced guide, Ahmed clearly explained the itinerary and each location to us, so we knew what to expect. He told us great stories about ancient Egypt, and was able to expertly read hieroglyphics and ancient paintings (even when they were scratched out). It was interesting to learn and lots of fun trying to understand/read ourselves in the various tombs and temples. The tour showed us specular views, tombs and temples. Ahmed also made us feel safe amongst vendors and markets, by giving us lots of tips and translating for us with the locals if we did want to purchase anything. Finally, Ahmed gave us great recommendations for where to eat delicious local food. One of the best tour guides!
