My first visit to Fayoum was in August 2018 where I was introduced to Mahmoud as my guide. One of the places we visited was Wadi Al Hitan where Mahmoud walked around with me and shared his wealth of knowledge on the area. It is amazing to know whales used to swim through the valley, we also visited Egypt’s only waterfall.

January 2020 I returned to Egypt and contacted
Mahmoud to organise another journey to Fayoum.
Mahmoud organised some very good trips but unfortunately I was not well and could not do everything planned. I did get to visit Roman ruins, Jebel Qatrani Open Air Museum, the oldest paved road, Tunis Village and so much more and I got to see Flamingos in the wild for the very first time!!

I can’t wait to return to Fayoum as there is still a lot more to explore in this beautiful piece of Egypt and I hope Mahmoud will available to show me around.

I have no hesitation in recommending Mahmoud as a guide. He is friendly, polite, very helpful, speaks English very well and is very knowledgeable what Mahmoud doesn’t know about Fayoum isn’t worth knowing.
