Discover the vibrant tapestry of Egyptian markets with a seasoned female guide by your side. Here’s why opting for a shopping tour led by a woman in Egypt offers a unique and enriching experience, despite the predominant male presence in craft-making:
-
- Cultural Sensitivity and Understanding: A female guide brings a deep understanding of local customs and traditions, ensuring respectful interactions with artisans and vendors. Despite the predominantly male craft-making industry, her insights provide valuable context and facilitate meaningful exchanges, enriching your shopping experience.
- Insider Knowledge and Navigation: Navigating Egypt’s bustling markets can be daunting, but with a female guide, you gain access to insider knowledge and expert navigation skills. While men may dominate certain craft sectors, women often hold indispensable roles in market dynamics, offering valuable perspectives and facilitating connections with artisans and vendors.
- Comfort and Connection: For female travelers, a female guide offers a sense of comfort and connection in unfamiliar surroundings. Her presence fosters a supportive environment where questions can be freely asked, preferences can be expressed, and cultural nuances can be explored, enhancing your overall shopping journey.
- Empowering Local Women: While men may dominate craft-making in Egypt, supporting women in ancillary roles is equally important. By choosing a female guide, you contribute to the empowerment of local women who play pivotal roles in market operations, sales, and hospitality. Your engagement directly impacts their livelihoods and fosters gender-inclusive economic opportunities.
- Cultural Exchange and Appreciation: Through interactions facilitated by your female guide, you engage in authentic cultural exchanges that transcend gender boundaries. Despite the male-centric craft landscape, you gain profound insights into Egypt’s rich heritage, artistic traditions, and community dynamics, fostering a deeper appreciation for its diverse cultural tapestry.

Verified Egypt trip with private guide.
Where do I start. I found Nahla online after an intensive search and let me tell you what a blessing it was. I contacted her and told her exactly what places in Egypt I want to visit, within couple of days, she drew an exact itinerary for everything and all the cities that I needed to visit to see everything i wanted. . Her knowledge and personality are the best. Her heart is the biggest the way she treats stray dogs in Egypt and feeds them every time she’s in the area should tell everyone how big of a heart she has. herself and her team exceeded all my expectations and delivered everything to my expectations and beyond. I highly recommend her and her team for your trip to Egypt and believe me she’ll set up any customized itineraries you need. Thanks Nahla very much..

Had an absolute blast in Egypt! It’s important to have a good guide! Nahla was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about history! Everything was organized so well from the time we were picked up from the airport, all the tours all over Egypt. Nahla was very helpful in literally everything …. she helped us a lot during the trip. Her love for animals was very touching! Thank you for being there for us during our trip!

Verified The BEST Experience of My Life!
Going to Egypt has always been a dream for me. Once I knew my family and I was going, I was overwhelmed with excitement. Our tour guide, Nahla, made the trip I dreamed of since I was little so much more memorable and awesome. Over the four days we spent together, Nahla and I became good friends! She is someone I look up to. From the Pyramids of Giza to the huge Catacombs of Alexandria, I hope this adventure is the beggining to many more! Thank you! Henry Pennay

Verified Unforgettable experience!
Thanks to the Guide du Routard, we found a comment from a tourist who had found Mona AMIN as a French-speaking guide. Thanks to the latter, she put us in touch with one of her 10 guides HOWAIDA MOUSSA. She is beyond a tourist guide: she loves her job, passionate about its history! Very endearing, it matched immediately. We stayed with her PDT for 5 days. She adapted to our group of 8 people (25 to 80 years old!❤️). Its driver was voted the most ZEN in Cairo. We left Howaida with a lot of emotions and the appointment is made for next year for Luxor, Aswan.... INCHALLAH ❤️

Verified Excellent and we'd book again!
We had an excellent experience with Nahla and we fully recommend her as a tour guide!!! We wanted to support a woman in business and we are glad that we made this choice. Two of our family have read a lot about Egypt and one of us just has a basic knowledge. Nahla showed great depth of knowledge and the two of us enjoyed learning even more about fascinating Egypt. For the other member of our family, Nahla was just as courteous in answering simple questions about history and culture. One of the most notable things about Nahla is that she re-lives every experience as "new" because she lives them through her clients. You know she is always glad to show the sights of Egypt and delighted to retell the history of the world's greatest civilization! Our itinerary included the pyramids, camel ride, sphynx, the GEM, the Egyptian Museum, the sound and light show at the pyramids, the City of the Dead, the Khan El-Khalili bazaar, jewelry shopping, and a felucca ride on the Nile. Others will say the Giza complex can be stressful but Nahla made it easy for us to get the most out of the pyramid visit, camel ride, and sphynx. The GEM, although only partly open, was a great experience with Nahla guiding us through the artifacts. We could have spent days at the Egyptian Museum and Nahla gave us an expert walk-through of all the highlights that made us feel like we got the absolute best out of that visit. Nahla's connections gave us an "insider's" experience at the City of the Dead, and she timed the visit to the Khan El-Khalili bazaar so that we avoided the heavy crowds. She found a safe boat with an experienced sailor, so the felucca ride was enjoyable and worry-free. We truly believe that having Nahla as a tour guide meant that vendors weren't as pushy. It was easy to collect a few souvenirs when we stopped to do that and we could ask Nahla's advice about when to bargain or when to pay the price marked on the item. She also helped us navigate through line-ups and she communicated with security personnel on our behalf when needed. These small but meaningful actions show what an exemplary tour guide she is! We were transported by Wael, an excellent driver that Nahla arranged for the week. He took us around to all the sights with her, and picked us up and returned us to the airport. We asked Nahla for a good quality vehicle and safe driver, and that is indeed what we got. Another notable characteristic is that Nahla helped us manage our schedule without us ever feeling rushed. In fact, that is exactly why we opted for a personalized experience with her -- to NOT be part of a large tour group but instead to visit Egypt with a guide at a pace that suited us. Nahla made that experience perfect. Nahla showed kindness to many of the stray animals in the places we visited. She also showed respect to many of the underprivileged people in the community. All of these gestures demonstrate what a caring and kind person she is. Arranging the itinerary was easy and confirming final details was handled expertly. The deposit and final payment were handled without any trouble through a trustworthy e-payment platform. A final note of praise -- we had a few full days of activities at the beginning of Ramadan, and Nahla kept on going strong! If we are lucky enough to return to Egypt, we will happily book Nahla again!!!

Verified Great time in Cairo
We booked Nahla for day tour of the pyramids during our time on Cairo. It was easy to communicate with her to organize in advance. We liked supporting a woman-owned business and had a wonderful tour. Would highly recommend!

Verified The best guide!
Nahla was our guide in both Cairo and Luxor. She has so much knowledge to share and she shares in the most enjoyable way. After hearing that our hotel forget to send a car to pick us up upon arrival, Nahla took it upon herself to make sure every other pickup was arranged, no matter what city we were in. Her enthusiasm for Egypt was watershed early in. Not only did we learn about the county and its history, we met a new friend. Highly recommended!

Nahla was very helpful to accept changes to itinerary. She is extremely knowledgeable. She is able to speak fluent English. She gives adequate and relevant information. She engages in conversation on Egypt in general and that makes tour experience interesting. She makes effort to make the experience special and memorable.

Nahla and her driver were wonderful. We felt so special having a private guide! She is very knowledgeable of Egyptian history and culture and and was thoughtful of our interests and needs. She will be a big part of our Cairo memories. Thank you, Nahla (pronounced Na ha la).
