She took us to the most wonderful places and explained with details the history behind each one of them. We visited Saqqara, Dahshur and Giza and had a chance to dig in every detail. The lunch included was also amazing!Thank you for everything! katja922025-02-15 Giza, Sakkara and Dahshur in a day If you are looking for the best day tour of Giza, Sakkara and Dahshur with the best guide, look no further. Zeinab was amazing and we were incredibly lucky to have her as our guide. She is a living encyclopedia and a great storyteller, her English is excellent and her tour guide skills are out of this world.Lunch and refreshments were included. The driver was very calm and professional, which is impressive in the chaotic traffic around Cairo. The car was spacious and clean.Thank you for an unforgettable day! Dustin S2025-01-22 Everything we needed in Cairo and beyond! We are two American travellers who live overseas and have been all over, exploring Egypt was on the buckt list and Nobatia made it easy! -- I received a contact of Zeinab who was a wonderful communcaitor and planner! Very flexible and accomdating. Cairo and Egypt can be a hectic place for even the most expeirenced travllers to navigate. She organized everything we needed on the ground and at a very fair pricing. Even when leaving to other parts of Egypt she remained in contact to help make sure we got what we were looking for! -- The day tours we did with her (and one day with her team member Mo who was wonderful as well) were informative, well strcutured and truly the ideal way to see Cairo and Egypt.Highly recomended! Dusty David B2025-01-21 A wonderful experience Zeinab and her taxi driver looked after us superbly. We were met at the airport and taken to our hotel. There then followed two excellent days when Zeinab and her driver took us to all the significant archeological sights and museums in and around Cairo. Her knowledge of Ancient Egyptian history is wide and superbly presented, and we are deeply grateful to her for making our visit to Cairo so memorable. We thoroughly recommend Zeinab to all who visit Cairo and wish to have an enjoyable and informative visit to this fascinating city. Thank you Zeinab.David and Judith Bowden . UK. Brent H2025-01-20 Can’t recommend highly enough, went above and beyond. Very knowledgeable and friendly, was extremely accommodating to our groups desires and cared about our experience. Would 100% recommend to anyone who wishes to learn about the historical side of Egypt while getting insight to great spots for food and shopping! Shahbaz M2025-01-07 Unforgettable family vacation in Egypt with an awesome tour guide I had an amazing two days in Cairo with my family on December 24, thanks to our fantastic tour guide, Zieneb from Nobatia Tours. She's an archaeologist with the Egyptian government and knows a lot about Egyptian history. Her storytelling made everything more interesting. Our journey began with the awe-inspiring pyramids of Giza, where her deep knowledge brought ancient history to life. Her storytelling skills made the Sphinx and the pyramids even more captivating. She seamlessly guided us to Saqqara, revealing the mysteries of the Step Pyramid with remarkable insights. We visited the pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, the Cairo Museum, and the Museum of Ancient Civilization. Zieneb made everything interesting with her stories and helped us focus on the most important things in the short time we had. Her expertise transformed what could have been overwhelming collections(over 5000) museum artifacts into a well-curated narrow list of most important artifacts. Her ability to connect historical artifacts with compelling stories made the experience unforgettable. Finally, she gave us pointers on how to navigate through Khan Al Khalili - a vibrant Egyptian market, where her local tips made exploring a breeze. At Khan Al Khalili we not only found unique souvenirs, but it also gave a taste of Cairo's bustling culture. What truly set her apart was her warmth, professionalism, and passion for sharing Egypt’s rich heritage. She anticipated every need, accommodated my preferences, arranged pickups/dropoffs, and ensured every detail was flawlessly executed. She patiently answered all questions that my teenage son and 11 year old daughter asked her, also quizzing them on history along the way I highly recommend her to anyone looking to explore Cairo or Egypt with family, friends or solo. From meticulous planning to flawless execution, she ensured every moment of our visit was memorable. She transformed my short trip into a lifetime memory, and I can’t thank her enough for such an extraordinary experience. Thank you Zieneb! wan h2024-12-23 Excellent trip to Giza, Alexandria, Cairo Zeinab, our guide. She’s as much a gem as Egypt as I discovered. She took the time to call me to ask about my group before the planning starts. She genuinely cares for our well being and ensured that we had a great experience in Egypt. Her input was really valuable especially on places to visit. Her story telling and knowledge as an Egyptologist made the trip really meaningful and so much more enjoyable. Watch out for her quiz 🤭And she’s a foodie! Her recommendation on falafel, shawarma and koshary were superb.❤️❤️❤️ A truly complete experience in Egypt. Audrey Y2024-12-19 Wow, what a trip! Zeinab was an excellent guide for our party. Our visit to Cairo, Saqqara, Giza & Alexandria were well planned and very informative. Zeinab is very knowledgeable. She makes the places we visited come alive with her great story telling skills. She's also a very helpful & understanding guide. We highly recommend engaging her as your guide in your next visit to Egypt. She will make your visit more memorable. Wendie N2024-12-18 Great experience & very memorable.
