Welcome to my website. My name is Khaled Abbass. I’m a tour guide who specializes in English language tours and a member of the Egyptian Tourist Guides Syndicate. I have completed 7 certificates in management and customer relations. Two of my degrees are in the English language. I have extensive experience working with many tour agencies including my own groups, friends from the USA, and other speaking English countries. I have a high level of degree which makes me an expert in all branches of Egyptology I provide my friends and clients with a variety of tours throughout all Egypt. Alexandria, Cairo, Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Aswan, and Abu Simbel include a full explanation in English and bonus information about social life in Egypt.

Why you should use me as a local guide when traveling to Egypt?

Enhanced trip

Having me as your tour guide by your side during your trip can enhance your experience when traveling. As an Egyptologist and guide will be able to explain the local culture and traditions and give you other local insights about the places you visit.

As a good guide will know the best hours to visit the attractions to avoid big crowds, how to avoid rush hour, and tricks to let you experience the most out of major tourist destinations even with big crowds.

I can also bring you to off-the-beaten-path spots you wouldn’t have known otherwise and offer personal suggestions on how to get the most out of your trip.

It’s hassle-free

One of the things that may be holding you back from having a great trip is that you have to figure out the small details when traveling around.

Where to go? How to get around? Directions? What time does the place open or close? When you are with me, you don’t have to trouble yourself with it.

You also don’t have to trouble yourself with planning an itinerary, if you hire me, I will make an itinerary according to your preferences and interests. You can customize them as well.

Another thing is the language difference. It’s difficult to communicate especially if you are traveling to places where the people speak little to no English at all. I would be able to translate things for you and help you communicate with people.

You can uncover lesser-known places

You can visit off-the-beaten-track spots and a new place that is out of the major tourist spots with the help of a guide. Don’t you like the thrill of finding places beyond the obvious and aren’t on popular tourist routes?  You can be amazed how the off-the-beaten-path spots can be equally and even more incredible than the major ones.

It’s time and cost-efficient

You don’t have to waste your time to plan a good travel itinerary, as the guides will do it for you. A good guide will structure your itinerary to be time-efficient, probably allowing you to visit more places.

You are probably thinking that hiring a guide is an additional expense, so how can it save money? Here’s how. You don’t have to figure out the route by yourself and risk getting lost which can cost you more money. A good guide will structure your itinerary to be cost-effective and tell you which way is more cost-efficient to travel around, helping you save money.

Safety

Private guides have a better understanding of how the local system operates and can help you with things in the country you are visiting that you are not familiar with. You don’t have to worry about getting lost or accidentally traveling to places that are dangerous with a local guide by your side.

Find and eat good food

Do you not love tasting new foods on your travel? Local guides can give you suggestions of where are the best places to eat that are not just popular tourist spots.

Hiring a guide is also important especially if you have food restrictions/allergies, but the language barrier is too severe, so you can’t communicate well. Just let your tour guides know and they will bring you to the best places to eat according to your preferences and needs.

Discover unique stories and details about the destinations

You can not only visit off-the-beaten-track spots but can also discover unique stories and details about the spots you visit.

Look:

It is easy to memorize facts and look up things on the internet. Hiring a guide can give you so much more than that, local insights, traditions, history, and up-to-date factual information about the sites.

You can have a richer, deeper understanding of the spots you visit because the guides will be able to tell you the history and context of the spots you visit from an insider/local perspective and answer questions you have about them. There are more benefits you can get if you use a local guide when traveling.

Finally

With guides, you can experience things you wouldn’t have otherwise. Guides can make your journey so much more interesting and really add more value to your trip.
