Azmy was wonderful and this tour was a highlight of our trip so far. He communicated with us often and even picked us up from our Airbnb. He is an Egyptologist so shared such interesting stories and history during the trip. It felt like we were hanging out with a friend. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable - stopping to get water and snacks on the way. We had questions about the rest of our trip and he helped us figure out solutions for other things we want to do in Egypt. We’re already planning on booking another tour with him while we’re in Egypt. Even if Fayoum isn’t the tour you want to go on, Azmy does many kinds of tours so I would recommend him for any locations he goes to!

We had the best time today. Literally one of the most memorable days. The drivers and our guide were amazing. Our family is so grateful.

Faiyum is a beautiful place and Azmy and his friend Gido know the area since boyhood. On top of that, Azmy is a talented Egyptologist working on his PhD in the field, so you know you are getting really inside information from someone excited about the place. It was a long drive to get there, but very, very pretty once outside the Cairo traffic.

Getting Azmy as a tour guide felt like winning the lottery! He is friendly, helpful, enthusiastic, and takes lots of pictures! He’s also an archeologist and Egyptologist who can answer anything you can think to ask about.
The tour itself was also really amazing! The drive from Cairo is not very long and you can see great scenery along the way. The archeological site is definitely worth seeing, the waterfall is beautiful and refreshing in the desert, and the pottery workshop is so fun! Definitely an awesome tour and I would go again!
