Day With Rasha in Cairo

Reviewed April 18, 2023

We picked Rasha based on other rreviews and she certainly did not disappoint.

Rasha proposed a itinery and after a couple of emails we tweaked it to incorporate a couple of things we wanted to do in lieu of some we where less interested in.

Rasha is a force of nature, not only gicing us in depth detail of each site we cisited but also a running commentary on Cairo whilst driving around in the air conditioned mini bus.

Rashas love for Egypt is obvious and infectious and her dedication to us was exemplary.

we would highly recommend her to others

During a visit to Cairo I contacted Rasha who took a lot of trouble -  ahead of my trip - to check what we would do, including an unforgettable walk through old Cairo - where her friendliness with various stall-holders and shop-owners introduced me to a very special aspect of Cairo, and a day in Saqqara where her knowledge and patience were outstanding.

Later, returning from the south with time to fill in between the train arriving and the plane leaving she again used every resource to find a suitable hotel to rest in during the day.

She is a lovely person, very hard-working and resourceful, and a sensitive guide.

Great Service

My family and I recently travelled to Cairo, we were only spending a day in Cairo so we decided to hire a private tour. I emailed Rasha and she told me what would be realistic for me to see in the short amount of time I had as well as what were the most important sites to visit. Our driver (Kareem) picked us up at the airport and as soon as I met him Rasha called and spoke to me to see how everything was going, from that initial phone call I knew I was in the right hands. Kareem was amazing! He was very nice and friendly, easy to talk to, although he was hesitant at first because he felt his English was not good, but we thought it was fine! When we went to visit the Pyramids Rasha met up with us before to see how everything was going, which was very nice and refreshing, she gave us some tips and tricks for when we went to visit the pyramids. While we were visiting the Pyramids it was very overwhelming with all the people trying to sell tours and other things to us. Kareem then came around with us so that we would be able to actually enjoy seeing the pyramids and not be bothered. Kareem took us over to go on a camel ride and was able to work out a great deal so that we were not scammed or paying a ridiculous amount. All in all my family and I were very impressed with Rasha and Kareem, they were amazing, very nice, and friendly. I would definitely recommend using Egypt Sunset Tours when you visit Egypt. I cannot thank them enough for making us feel safe and at ease!

“Absolutely Awesome!”

Reviewed January 20, 2016

Had 11 hours in Cairo. Rasha was brilliant. She collected myself and a friend from the airport and dropped us off. She was our fantastic tour guide the whole time. It was an amazing day, even despite the weather being a little overcast which was a rare occurrence! Pyramids of Giza were the highlight. She knew where to take us to see the sights & the obligatory photo spots! Due to arriving at noon we didn't have time for the museum and pyramids. Rasha was so helpful and kind and felt like we were all great long time friends! Took us for traditional Egyptian food for fantastic prices. As we spent most of our time at the pyramids, Sphinx and Sunset at Giza (awesome by the way), we still had time for traditional inscription paper tour, markets and food. Spend 8 hours with Rasha. Great price for both a driver and tour guide. Saved so much money because of local knowledge. Perfect way to maximize time but most importantly having a friendly person showing you around made it a fantastic day I will never forget! If I was to give one piece of advise to any visitor is don't see Cairo alone.....ask Rasha to take you around! You won't regret it! Paul from Ireland & Michael from S.A.

Rasha was Fabulous

Reviewed August 18, 2015

My daughter and I took a trip to Egypt and Jordan as a gift for her getting her MBA. We had never been before and were overwhelmed about what we were to see. Rasha Hamid served as our guide in Cairo and surrounding areas. She made arrangements for our trip in Aswan, Luxor and Abu Symbel Temples and stayed in touch as we traveled about. It was my daughter's birthday while we were there and Rasha and Mohammed, our guide in Asway conspired to get her a birthday cake, a gift and the ship stewards on our trip down the Nile decorated her room for her birthday. Just an example of the little things that make such a difference traveling. Her knowledge of history and culture is unsurpassed (I am sure). Since it was only the two of us, we could do whatever we wanted. One day we decided to go to the market. One evening we decided to take a Fallucca ride on the Nile in Cairo and she switched gears and took us. We couldn't have been happier and I heartily recommend her. I have to admit that I have been longing to go back to Egypt.
