Welcome! I'm Ahmed Haiba, and my greatest joy is sharing the timeless wonders of my homeland with travelers from across the globe.
My fascination with Ancient Egypt began as a young boy, growing up in the shadow of this incredible history. While other children played with toys, I was captivated by stories of pharaohs, gods, and the engineers who built the impossible. This passion led me to pursue formal education in Egyptology and become a licensed tour guide certified by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism.
For over 10 years, I have been turning this passion into my profession, guiding visitors through the sacred sands of Giza, the majestic temples of Luxor, and the bustling energy of Cairo. But I am more than just a guide; I am a storyteller, a cultural ambassador, and your friend in Egypt.
A tour with me is not just a checklist of sites. It is an immersive journey into the heart and soul of Egypt.

Your Journey, Your Way: I specialize in private and small group tours because your trip should be about your interests. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a family with children, a couple on a honeymoon, or a solo adventurer, I will customize an itinerary that matches your pace and passions.
Seamless & Stress-Free Experience: From the moment you arrive, I handle all the details transportation, tickets, and logistics so you can relax, absorb the beauty around you, and create lasting memories without any worries.
Beyond the Monuments: I believe the real Egypt is also found in its people. I will help you experience the authentic side of my country from sipping sweet mint tea in a local café to understanding the rhythms of a Khan El Khalili bazaar.
My mission is simple: to provide you with an exceptional, insightful, and unforgettable experience that exceeds your expectations. I want you to leave Egypt not only with beautiful photographs but with a deeper understanding and a heart full of memories.
I am excited to be a part of your adventure and to show you the Egypt I know and love.
