Excellent GEM tour withMr. Salib - This is our second time visit to Egypt and we heard new part of Grand Egyptian Museum opened. So we decided to visit there. We selected Mr Salib because he has good reviews. We made a good choice. He met us on time at our apartment and drove to the museum. Since he suggested earlier visit, we could see exhibitions quietly. Mr. Salib explains us very logical way so that we can understand long history of Egypt. He is not in rush and we spend more than 3 hours in museum without any hurry.

A private guided tour to Grand Egyptian Museum with Mr Salib - We are just back from a private visit to Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) which last month opened new sections. It is an amazing museum worth visiting even if it is not yet officially inaugurated. We were guided by Mr. Salib . He is very professional and has excellent knowledge. His explanations are clear, his English very good and he does not rush through the museum. He showed us the museum in a very logical way so that we could understand the different periods, in a detailed way. We stayed several hours but never felt tired or bored. It is not our first visit to Egypt and to see the many archeological sites, but through his explanations we learned many things that had escaped us before. He is truly passionate about Egypt and transmits his passion in his explanations. Also we had a good conversation about other aspects of life in Egypt. We can highly recommended him.

Excellent! - We have done some tours in Egypt before, and this was the best one! Salib was very communicative before and after the tour. He gave us tons of information that was very well explained, and it was so interesting to listen to him. He took around 3 hours of his time to make the most of the tour, and he walked us to a restaurant after the tour. We are doing another tour with him this week. I totally recommend him!

Everything that you need to know and more! - Our guide Salib was very knowledgable and enthusiastic about the history of Egypt. He showed us all the important artifacts and then some interesting ones that most people just walked by....did you know that you can also see mummies of crocodiles in the museum? We didn't.
He was very flexible and accomodating.
All in all, we felt really cared for.

Amazing tour with lots of information from Salib - Our tour guide (Salib) was amazing! He knew absolutely everything, took us on a grand tour of the museum and explained everything there is to know. The information was delivered really well, Salib was very friendly and accommodating, and I would highly recommend for everyone to do a guided tour with him. Visiting this museum will not be the same without a good tour. Thank you Salib!

Fantastic tour at Egyptian museum - Our family had a great 3h tour with Salib at the Egytian museum. Salib made the tour insightful and also kept our two teenage kids interested which is not an easy challenge. The contact was very easy before and during the tour, and Salib adapted the speed and amount of details perfectly to our needs. We would have loved to see the Grand Egyptian museum with him as well but he already another tour commited on the date we asked. Highly recommended!

Educational and fun . - Salib and Hanny were the best part...so friendly and welcoming. Hanny was very polite and managed the traffic and parking easily. Salib was so knowledgable about history and answered all our questions about Egypt today and long ago. The historic sights we visited were very interesting and the fish restaurant on the waterfront was excellent. No pressure to buy anything.
