Unraveling Cairo's Mysteries & Marvels
Who am I, you ask? I am made from all the people I’ve encountered and all the things I have experienced. Inside, I hold the laughter of my friends, the arguments with my parents, the chattering of young children, the warmth of kind strangers and the bright night time stars. Inside, there are stitching from cracked hearts, bitter words from heated arguments, music that gets me through and emotions I cannot convey. I am made from all these people, these moments and the universe.
That is who I am.
Being a Tour Guide
Tour guides are basically superheroes. We can plan a trip, fix a scraped knee, translate a foreign language, and even argue a legal case (if we have to). We're like the Swiss Army Knife of the travel industry, But don't worry, we still have to stop and smell roses (or the local). We're the last romantics, living in a world that is always on the go. Our love for cultural diversity and making a difference keeps us going (and our cap, of course).
All About Me
As a tour guide with years of experience, I enjoy showing my guests around the vibrant streets of Cairo, my hometown. Here, the scents of freshly baked bread and spices blend with the lively market and my stories.
I graduated from the German School in Cairo and earned my diploma from the Faculty of Applied Sciences for Tourism and Hospitality. I’ve been in the travel industry since 1992, spending the past 25 years at Studiosus Reisen Munich, Europe’s top cultural tour operator. Throughout this period, I have guided numerous German-speaking tourists, including renowned journalists from SZ, FAZ, and more. My words bring the past to life as if it’s unfolding right before my guests' eyes. I am not just a guide; I am a keeper of the stories that the stones of Cairo have to tell.
