Mohamed Anwar Eissa
Born in Egypt, Mohamed is a guide and ambassador who has spent most of the past 25 years leading tours. Always ready to share knowledgeable insights or a well-timed joke, his passion for Egyptian’s history, beauty, and wonders have made him a sought-after freelance Egyptological guide throughout Egypt and the Middle East. A specialist in Middle Eastern cultures, Mohamed has traveled extensively throughout the region, leading tours in Jordan, UAE, Oman, Bahrain, and Qatar. Besides guiding, he enjoys educating and inspiring travelers from all over the world who, just like him, share his boundless curiosity and admiration for ancient cultures.
Maged Salib
Maged — an Egyptian and Canadian native fluent in Arabic and English — decided to become a tour guide so he could meet people from different backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences. He lives in Cairo with his family, and feels the happiest whenever he is able to engage travelers on appreciating and learning more about ancient and modern Egypt, connecting the past and present. Maged will take any opportunity to show people how history repeats itself regardless of the timeframe. He also takes all chances to clarify misunderstandings travelers might have learned about everyday life or culture in the Middle East.
