About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Venture429870734130 contributionsAmazing Trip for Alexandria HistoryBook this trip and have no regrets. I want to first indicate that Mohammed and Sayeed are wonderful and respectful men. They treated me well and truly cared about my experience. As a woman I felt safe traveling with them. Conversations were engaging and I appreciated the cross-cultural exchange. Mohammed is very knowledgeable about Egyptian history, culture, and food. He was supportive of others who did not know things or how to get something done without detracting from my experience. I learned quite a bit today, but also had fun. The restaurant was a good quality and attentive staff. I cannot recommend him and Sayeed enough. Consider them for overall experience. Note: call them to confirm pickup details and enjoy the experience from there.Written September 11, 2024

- Road156196280360 contributionsTrustful and very educated GuidesWe were picked up from the hotel and went straight to Mohamed Ali Mosque. Car had air conditioning and we arrived very quick. The Mosque is a must see and the view to the city is amazing. We had enough time to take many pictures. The visit to the museum is magnificent and our Guide Mohamed explained us everything in details. After enjoying a Mango drink we were taken to a beautiful restaurant where we had a delicious buffet. Everything was delicious fresh and not expensive at all. We felt safe and we really enjoyed the day with our tourist guide. I would realy recommend them.Written August 30, 2024
- Thefoxyglobetrotter0 contributionsFelt more like friends discussing history instead of a tourTouring the museum and visiting the old city with Mina was so eye opening and informative. He is WELL versed in Egyptian history. This felt like friends discussing history instead of a guided tour. lunch was spectacular, and the only thing I had to do was show up. Already planning my next trip to Egypt to tour and learn much more.Written August 17, 2024
- Thefoxyglobetrotter0 contributionsMust have your guide for solo travelerDefinitely recommend for a solo traveler such as myself. Came to Cairo spur of the moment and they assisted me from start to finish. Made exploring the city seamless and carefree. My pyramids tour was very eye opening and taught me a lot as my guide Mohammed was very knowledgeable about the history. As a seasoned traveler, not sure if I would've enjoyed the experience as much without Mohammed at my side.Written August 16, 2024

- TravelingFrugalista0 contributionsMind Blown in AlexandriaWowwwwwwww my mind is blown. I have always skipped Alexandria tours to focus on Aswan but I've been missing out for sure. Today was nothing less than spectacular. The catacombs, the library, the sea view, etc all perfect! Especially the library. I think I could spend an entire day just at the library. Highly recommended, especially with Muhammad. He can even give photo lessons 🤣🤣Written August 1, 2024

Jakada provided us with an amazing and authentic experience! He and Ahmed met us at the hotel and made sure that we were well taken care of. The trip to the pyramids was smooth and frustration-free, as was our time visiting memorable locations throughout. Haithom and our driver truly became friends during the trip. He told me that he’d have our back and he didn’t lie. He also blessed us with perfect and unique photos, which I’ll never forget.

We had them meet us at the airport during a layover... take us through Visas and handled our logistics to drop bags at the hotel and off to the Pyramids!
We were travelling with 3 teen girls and two teen boys so we were a little worried about security. The team helped everyone feel comfortable and enjoy Cairo!
We had come back a few weeks later for another stop over and had some different Jakada members, who were equally as hospitable and took us on a different tour.
Very happy with them, and if we are ever back in the area will use them again for sure

Jakada tours were amazing. From the pick up at the airport to the drop-off. Ahmed, Mohammed, and our driver were very friendly and professional. They showed so much hospitality. It really felt like we were vacationing with family. We will return and use Jakada tours again.

Wow!!!! The experience is beyond words. To be able to walk in the historical footsteps of ancient Egyptians was so mesmerizing. We touched history. We stood on the great Giza pyramid. We ran our fingers across ancient hieroglyphics in King Tut’s tomb. We cruised the river nile. AMAZING!
I would definitely encourage you to use Jakada tours if you are looking to have an immersive cultural experience they will not disappoint.
We had three very full days of touring with Jakada tours. Our package included our hotel accommodations, all transportation once in Egypt, the majority of our entrance tickets and lunch each day (excluding Luxor)
We stayed at the Pyramid Edge Hotel in Giza. The staff is very nice. The hotel looks just as the pictures online present. However, the hotel does not have consistent hot water. There is a tank to warm the water but it is cold before you can complete your shower. I recommend upgrading the hotel if cold showers are not your thing. The neighbor has shops all around. There is a koshari restaurant next door that make great Chicken Sharma. The owners are welcoming.
Our tour guides were outstanding.
Muhammad our Cairo guide became family. He was attentive, informative and fun. He walked us through the history of Egypt old and new. We had the chance to explore Cairo and Giza completely. When it came to dealing with local vendors he assisted with negotiating price and making sure we were fairly dealt with. Muhammad took us each day to have authentic local food. We had koshari which was surprisingly good 😂. We added on the Nile dinner cruise. The dinner cruise was fun. We danced, enjoyed great music and performances and had lots of laughs. The view was beautiful.
Adel was our escort to and from the airport, he was fantastic. He shared information about the culture and helped to get us to our flights timely. Adel was excellent at managing the details of our trip. He made sure we had anything we needed. He assisted us with completing our airport visa process, as well as, our departure paperwork at the airport.
Our day trip to Luxor was guided by Hassan Sedik. Hassan was very knowledgeable and organized our day perfectly. We were able to explore the tombs and temples in Luxor. We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant.
