Why You Should Hire A Guide For Your Trip To Egypt

If you’re considering travelling to Egypt then you probably need to consider whether or not to hire a guide.

“Do I need a guide in Cairo?”  The short answer is “Yes, you need a guide in Cairo” You need a guide if you want to get the most from your time in Cairo.  If you are staying in Cairo and have lots of time to go exploring then you will probably find your way around but you will also need lots of information, time, energy, heat tolerance and patience.

If you are a solo female traveler, we highly recommend hire a guide for your safety and comfortable.

We definitely recommend you take a guide to the Giza Plateau – not for the history but for the hassle.

Reasons Why You Need A Guide In Cairo, Egypt

• Cairo is a vast city and though perfectly safe for tourists, it is best to stay within tourism boundaries. It is safer if you know where you want to go and arrange it beforehand.  Like anywhere else in the world, what do you do if you get into a taxi and at some point are not sure which direction you are taking or you get an uncomfortable feeling about the driver?
• Being accompanied by an Egyptian local made you less of a target
• He fielded any hassle from vendors
• He managed your tipping
• He picked you up and took up back to you accommodation each day
• He was a local
• He built a schedule around your needs
• He found suitable places for you to eat
• He will provide you with a full information related to the sites and also to have conversation with you about anything you want within the tour.
• Qualified Egyptologist, friendly and help you to take your photos

Our best advice for tourists having only 3 – 5 days or less to spend in Cairo is to book your tours in Cairo to the sites you want to see and ask your tour operator or travel agent to let you know if there are other interesting sites you have not specifically inquired about.  That way you travel in comfort, arrive fresh at the places of interest, have energy to spend exploring the sites themselves, and stand a better chance of continuing your journey satisfied and relaxed.
