As-salaam 'alykum السلام عليكم
I am delighted to tell you how how my love for tourism happened: by "accident" and the best one ever! I was in college, and encouraged to get my tourism license as I love history and speak English and Russian. So I did, and I have been happy since!

I would say that my friends and family would call me:
- strong: I have trust and faith in myself and others
- helpful: I love to lend a hand to people, and in tourism, this is helping my clients throughout their discoveries. I am there for them
- friendly: I love people, and this is good in my business! I love to keep in touch with our visitors to Egypt.

What is the one visit not to miss in Egypt?
It is Hatshepsut, Queen & Pharaoh Hatshepsut. She was an incredible woman who truly ruled Egypt successfully and strongly for 20 years. She came to the throne of Egypt in 1478 BC and was one of the most prolific builders in Ancient Egypt, commissioning hundreds of construction projects throughout both in Upper and Lower Egypt.

There are so many places to enjoy, it is hard to choose, but Abu Simbel stands out to me. It is actually two massive temples cut in the rock and located near the border with Sudan. They serve as a lasting monument to the king Ramesses II (who married Nefertari). Built from 1264 to 1244 BC, it was rediscovered in 1813.

My favorite dish is Koshari. It is our national dish for good reason: it is a delicious combination of comforting ingredients. Koshari is made of rice, macaroni and lentils; it is then topped with chickpeas and crispy fried onions, with an optional spicy tomato sauce and garlic vinegar. There are regional variations: all are excellent!

Egypt has incredible history but also beautiful and relaxing beaches. So I suggest talking to us about combining Cairo (for its pyramids but also its Egyptian Museum and lively bazaars) with a day-trip to Alexandria, a Nile cruise (with stops in Luxor and the Valley of the Kings) and if time permits, an escapade to a resort on the Red Sea for its beaches and crystal clear waters (a must if you scuba dive).
