Planning a trip to Egypt – but don’t know where to start?
Book an online video consultation with me and let’s plan your perfect Egyptian holiday.
Planning a trip to Egypt can be overwhelming. And the stories about pushy salesmen, scammy restaurants and commission-loving tour guides are enough to make you think twice about coming here.
I know the feeling.
I’m a long-time expat living for over a decade in Cairo and I’ve traveled all across the country. I’ve learned how to navigate Egypt and discover the spirit of the country – beyond the tourist traps.
But my first trip to Egypt definitely wasn’t easy. Honestly, it was exhausting and I felt like I’d barely scratched the surface.

Now I’ve learned lots of tips and strategies over the years – and there are plenty of things I wish I knew when I first came to Egypt!
So if you’re feeling overwhelmed about planning your trip to Egypt – and if you want some expert, local advice – then I’d love to help you craft your perfect Egyptian holiday.
This session is a perfect fit if:
- You’re a busy professional who wants to see an authentic side of Egypt – but you don’t have time to research all the perfect spots.
- You have a special interest (like rowing on the Nile or World War II history) and you want a local’s guidance on where to go.
- You’re a female traveler who’s hesitant about travelling to Egypt, navigating the local culture and staying safe.
- You’re an intrepid traveler who wants more than the standard tour bus itinerary. You want vibrant, soulful places and local favorites – not stale tourist traps.
During the session, I will help you to:
- plan an ideal itinerary to maximize your time
- pick the destinations that suit your interests
- answer any questions and concerns

What a great way to have started our trip.”
