About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Hambeary0 contributionsExtremely well organized, exceptionally knowledgable guideEgypt isn’t the same without a good guide to share all of the history, their significance and what to look for amidst the trillion things to look at with throngs of tourists getting in your way. Our guide Ahmed Awad (gotta get the full name cause everybody’s a Ahmed or a Mohamed 😅) was exceptionally knowledgable, reliable, organized & funny. Gotta give the fellow extra thumbs up for great photo spots and ideas too! Kudos too to the tour agency for their lightning response time, superb reliability and fabulous precise logistics, saved us many a headaches if we had planned them ourselves. The drivers too were just such sweet people, it melted our hearts. I imagine the trip would have been chaotic & without such great flavors if not for Ahmed and the wonderful team at Jakada!Written January 31, 2025
- Worldtraveler20191170 contributionsGREAT TRIP to Egypt due to AHMED AWAD!!!Ahmed Awad was an excellent guide, he was very knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and detail-oriented. Ahmed enhanced the experience by providing great information and coordination. He flawlessly arranged our excursions, transportation, and activities in Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Al Gadida, Al Karnak, Al Khazan, and more. We had a great time and visited all the places we wanted to see, including some we didn't know about. I highly recommend booking Ahmed Awad as your guide in Egypt for a great trip.Written January 28, 2025
- cyndib3000 contributionsLuxor and Aswan cruise the NileAhmed Awad Is an exceptional guide. Professional, knowledgeable and friendly. You’ll be pleased you chose him. Not only does he provide detail explanations of what you are seeing, he also shares the current culture with you. He clearly is a history aficionado and can walk you through centuries of Egyptian history.Written January 21, 2025

Muhammad our tour guide and our driver where exceptional in making sure we knew all the history, as well as insured the safety of my son and i throughout the streets of Cairo. The Grand Egyptian museum was breathtaking as well as so educational, Muhammad showed his expertise in the knowledge of his country by effortlessly answering any questions I had the entire time. I will definitely love to visit again with him as my guide.Written January 1, 2025

My husband and i chose Jakada private tours to visit Egypt for the first time. What a beautiful experience! I give credit to Jakada Tours for the wonderful time. The owner Ahmed Fayed was quick in responding to questions.
Mohamed Haytam was our tour guide and Sayed our driver during our two day stay in Cairo. Both are very efficient in coordinating everything from airport pickup to our airport drop off to continue our tour to Luxor and Aswan. We felt very safe traveling with them and they were both very helpful and sweet. Mohamed is very easy to communicate young man who is my daughter’s age and Sayed is such a sweet man with a smile on his face all the time. They are a perfect team!
We are almost at the end of our tour in Egypt and so far it has been a seamless team work by Jakada tours.
If i would have to make any recommendation to Jakada tours, it would be to check the pulse of the tour party and extend the day some more if they have the energy to see more. Many might be okay with 9am to 3pm day but some enthusiastic travelers might want to spend more time (for may be an extra fee) exploring this beautiful land!

I loved my day tour with jakada tours and my friend Mohammed He was amazing, so full of history and knowledge. He took us all around the city of Cairo and educated us about the main sites, religious history, and we even spent time walking around and exploring old Cairo. We felt we had enough time everywhere.

If I could give Jakada Tours, particularly the owner Ahmed Fayed an infinite star rating I would! We booked a 3 day tour with this company to visit the Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, Karnak Temple and Valley of The Kings. The level
of customer service was impeccable! From the moment we arrived at Cairo International Airport there was a representative waiting to greet us BEFORE baggage claim (not at pick up) to help us through customs. We did not once have to worry about a language barrier or stand in a line! It was first class treatment! No hassle! Our driver was always on time and kept our safety as a priority at all times as this is very important because driving in Cairo is very aggressive. The second part of our trip was in Hurghada at an all inclusive resort on the Red Sea…Ahmed was able to make all the transportation arrangements from Cairo to Hurghada, while in Hurghada, and schedule a PCR-RT COVID test as well. His rates are beyond affordable, hospitality at an all time high, he is well connected, and most importantly honest. As a frequent flyer and world traveler I HIGHLY recommend Jakada Tours as there is no match when it comes to customer service!

An amazing experience with guide Mohamed and driver Sayed Picked up at the airport on time and thoughtfully with water and snacks. The time spent at the pyramids was so worthwhile given the knowledgeable guide. And again at the museum where the experience was so enriched by the guide. The bazaar was very interesting and fun with great opportunities for uniquely Egypt fragrance testing, learning about papyrus making and looking at some lovely jewelry. All and all I so appreciated the individual attention and flexibility as well as a very gifted driver who expertly navigated through Cairo’s wild traffic.

Amazing experience! We have had a one day tour with Mohamed around Cairo and it was a fantastic experience. He explained many details, he helped us take the most amazing pictures and made sure we had an amazing time while visiting the city. I would totally recommend Jakada Tours. Will come back!

We went on a private layover tour. It was about eight hours long and included pick-up and drop-off from the airport. Our tour guide, Mohamed, was incredible, knowledgeable, and had top-notch photography skills. Our driver was also absolutely fantastic. The tour covered all the main attractions we wanted to see. I highly recommend booking with Jakada Tours and asking for Mohamed if you want an English tour.

Let’s begin…Muhammad (our guide) is the most welcoming and warm soul. His smile and kind spirit is infectious. He made us feel very comfortable and safe the entire day. It was as if we’ve known him for years. He has a wealth of knowledge and provided us with Egypt’s rich history. He took us places to shop away from all of the aggressive street vendors so we were much more at ease. A bonus about Muhammad is he is also a photographer so the pictures he took of us were on point!
Let’s talk about Nour (our driver). He’s quiet but friendly and his driving skills are great being that Egypt seems to have bad drivers. He kept us safe! Overall, this tour was a 15/10! We had an amazingggggg time!!!

We had a wonderful day seeing the pyramids and great sphinx they are even more impressive than I imagined. We got to see how papyrus was made and the civilization museum was really good. Our guide Sara was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us all about what we were looking at and answer any questions we had.

Sara Yasser was our private English tour guide for the great pyramids of Giza, Cairo and Alexandria. Our first tour in Egypt started with her and she set the precedence for the rest of our trip!
Her knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for the Pharaonic Era is admirable, as well as her friendly, considerate, kind and feisty personality <3 Her positive energy is so strong that we became friends instantly and hope to remain as lifelong friends :)
Sara is an Egyptologist who strives to teach visitors everything there’s to know about the ancient Egyptian world. She’s flexible and tailors the tours according to one’s interests. In addition to Giza pyramids, she also offers tours in Sakkara, Memphis, etc. You just have to let her know your goal for the trip and she will make it happen. She elaborately answered any questions we had, taught us to read hieroglyphics and patiently repeated any information we wanted to know and we wanted to know it all! Unlike some others in the area, she is not pushy at all, which we greatly appreciated. She is very good at explaining local customs and culture, which was truly helpful and she makes sure tourists/ visitors are not harassed by vendors, etc, which we were thankful for as well. She is familiar with all the local hot spots and we loved all her recommendations.
Last but not least, she’s an amazing photographer and helped to capture magical moments from our first trip to Egypt! Highly recommend Sara Yasser to anyone who’s looking to book an unforgettable trip to Egypt!
