The day before meeting Rashid we visited Giza with another tour guide found on the internet. But what started as a nice visit to the pyramids, soon revealed to be a very buisness-oriented trip with a strict schedule to stop to various local shops (papyrus, parfumes, jewels..). The time to enjoy the monuments was minimal and detours were turned down.
A very different story has to be said about Rashid. We randomly met him outside the Egyptian museum where we exchanged numbers and talked about a possible tour. He's definetly a good guide providing in depth explanations of the monuments visited. Also, I believe his experience in the sector made him particularly good at finding good deals for typical products like papyrus or parfumes (I can tell that because I felt dumb after he told me he could have sold me a papyrus scroll for less than half of what I paid).
Another good quality of Rashid is that he's particularly patient and keen to accept different requests. For example he was able to drive us to the garbage city despite the unusuality of the trip.
Overall I highly reccomend Rashid, he can guide you not only through history but also through the real Cairo you don't see in the deplians.

It was a bit scary going to Egypt for the holidays during a pandemic - but Rashid made everything perfect, fun, safe and secure. Rashid and his excellent driver Mohamed were waiting for me and my friend at the airport in Cairo. Rashid took great care of us and made sure we knew how to Message him with any questions during the evenings. He tailored our tours in Cairo, Alexandria, Memphis, Giza and elsewhere to see just what we wanted with minimal travel or wait time. Several times he adjusted the schedule to accommodate a new request. Nothing was difficult for him, and it was amazing the depth of knowledge that he had. And most of the personnel at checkpoints or site entrances knew him and were delighted to see him - that's how you know you've picked the right guy. I highly recommend using Rashid - it's a long way to Egypt and you want to be sure you have the best experience possible.

I highly recommend Rashid for any visit to Cairo (or Egypt in general), he is a fountain of knowledge and has lots of advice from his many years of being a tour guide. Anything we wanted to do, he helped us with. He made sure everything was fine, answered any questions we had and made us feel comfortable in a very busy Cairo. We even went and had dinner at his family home where his wife made a delicious meal and we chatted with some tea. If you're coming to Cairo/Egypt then Rashid is the perfect person to make your experience the best! Next time I come back, I will definitely catch up for a tea with my friend.

Rashid made our one-day visit to Cairo a truly wonderful experience. He met us at the airport late at night, which made our arrival easy. He gave us a great, informative, and fun tour of the pyramids the next day. He knows the city very well, so he got us through the crazy traffic easily. His restaurant recommendation was great! We were on a tight schedule, but Rashid got us back to the airport in plenty of time. Cairo is a wonderful city, but it would be difficult for two Americans like us to explore without an expert guide. We highly recommend Rashid!

I met Rashid by chance while waiting for a friend. He was so helpful and friendly, we decided to book a day tour to the pyramids. Rashid helped us decide an itinerary for the day based on our interests. We had a great day. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We also had an early flight out of Cairo so we booked Rashid to take us. He was very punctual even though it was Ramadan and I’m sure we were encroaching on his family time. If my friend or I ever visit Cairo again we would definitely book another tour with Rashid.

I met Rashid close to my hotel as I was wanting for my driver to come. Nicely Rashid asked me if I needed anything. Rashid did not push me to come to his taxi and was sincere from the beginning. I kept his number for next time which was the day after. Rashid answered quickly and so we went together where I needed to go. Rashid is trustworthy, sincere, welcoming and so helpful. I really recommand going on tour with Rashid anytime. I shoudl also add that Rashid unlike some people in Egypt does not rip you off or ask you for anything but for the real price, what everyone should eb ask not becausse you are tourist because that's the way it is. Many thanks again. hope to see you some times. Take care :)

Rashid is a phenomonal tour guide who you can trust. He is extremely knowledgeale, honest and exceptionally helpful. We met Rashid in Cairo near the musuem; he drove us safely around the city and took us to other places we needed to go and would not have been able to find by ourselves.

I headed to Cairo on a solo trip with no plan. It can be intimidating being in a country by yourself not knowing the language. I met Rashid while looking for my hotel and he helped me.
We set up a guided tour to visit the Red, White, and Black Pyramids and the Giza Complex. And on another day his trustworthy and helpful driver Mohmoud drove me to Saint George's church, and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha.
Rashid also took me to eat at local restaurants and breakfast places.
I am grateful for meeting Rashid and Mohmoud. He is a very friendly, knowledgeable, trustworthy human being, and I would recommended him to all my friends and family that would travel to Egypt.
