About me
Ahlan wa sahlan! I’m Michael Sabry, but everyone calls me Micky. I’m a licensed tour guide based in Cairo, and I have been guiding guests in English and German since 2007.
I love bringing Egypt’s 5,000 years of history to life: the stories behind the pharaohs, the meaning of the hieroglyphs and the everyday life of the people who built these monuments. Every tour is private and tailored to your pace and interests, whether you are a first-time visitor, a history enthusiast or travelling with family.
I work with Travco in Cairo, so I can also help arrange hotels, transfers, flights within Egypt and Nile cruises.

Tours
Every tour can be combined and adjusted. Tell me what you dream of seeing, and I’ll build the day around it.
Stand before the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Learn how and why the pyramids were built, meet the Sphinx and enjoy the classic panorama over the plateau.
The world’s largest museum of a single civilisation: the colossal statue of Ramesses II, the Grand Staircase and the complete treasures of Tutankhamun, with a guide who knows the stories behind them.
The historic museum at Tahrir Square, the churches of Coptic Cairo, the Citadel and its mosques, and a stroll through the lanes and spice stalls of Khan el-Khalili.

The most relaxing way to see Upper Egypt: sail between Luxor and Aswan with stops at Edfu and Kom Ombo, with guided visits planned around your cruise.
