I am writing a recommendation for Nagwan Helal. Nagwan is a shining example of what a guide should be. Her passion and for, and knowledge of, her country is incredible.

Had a great experience in Egypt with my family in November 2020. Tourism still recovering, so this seems to be a terrific opportunity to avoid the usual touristic crowds of Giza and Cairo. Did several tours with the Sun Pyramids Tours over four days around Cairo, Giza and Alexandria, and would strongly recommend the company. Special highlight to our guide and Egyptologist Vitor Nasser, that on top of the deep knowledge on the country´s history, is fluent on Portuguese, English and Spanish, and very attentive to the kids. Tour leader Ahmed Yassin helped us organizing the agenda, and drivers Mahmud and Abdul completed the team.
