点评:I don’t even know where to begin. Our tour of the Giza Pyramids and Saqqara was one of the most powerful experiences of my life.
Moustafa is the kind of guide you hope for but rarely get. He is deeply passionate about Egypt — not just the history, but the culture, the people, the energy of the place. He has the perfect balance of book smarts and street smarts. You’re not just getting memorized facts (though he clearly knows everything); you’re getting context, stories, nuance, and the kind of insight that only someone who truly knows the city can give.
Because he knows Cairo and Giza so well — and because he knows the people — you feel welcomed everywhere you go. You feel safe. You feel looked after. You feel like you’re experiencing Egypt with a friend, not just following a tour guide with a flag.
We spent 12 full hours with him, and not once did it feel rushed or scripted. Standing in front of the pyramids was overwhelming in the best way. It’s one thing to see something you’ve known your whole life from textbooks and documentaries… it’s another thing entirely to stand there and feel the weight of thousands of years of history in front of you. Visiting Saqqara and seeing the Step Pyramid added such depth to the experience and made the evolution of these incredible structures make sense.
We even rode camels along the pyramids — one of those surreal, “is this real life?” moments that you’ll never forget.
And somehow, after a full day of ancient wonders, we ended with the most chaotic and delicious food tour through the market. We truly ate our way through Cairo — camel, pigeon, organs, and more — stepping completely outside our comfort zone and loving every minute of it.
I cannot recommend this tour enough. If you’re going to see the pyramids, do it with someone who loves this country the way Moustafa does. It makes all the difference.
翻译:我真不知道该从何说起。吉萨金字塔和萨卡拉之旅是我人生中最难忘的经历之一。
穆斯塔法是那种你梦寐以求却又难得一遇的导游。他对埃及充满热情——不仅是历史,还有文化、人民以及这片土地的独特魅力。他既有渊博的书本知识,又有丰富的街头智慧。你听到的不仅仅是死记硬背的事实(虽然他显然无所不知),而是能感受到历史的背景、故事、细微之处,以及只有真正了解这座城市的人才能给予的深刻见解。
因为他对开罗和吉萨了如指掌,也因为他了解当地人民,所以无论走到哪里,你都会感到宾至如归。你会感到安全,会感到被照顾。你会觉得你是在和朋友一起体验埃及,而不是仅仅跟随一个挥舞着旗帜的导游。
我们和他一起度过了整整12个小时,却丝毫没有感到匆忙或刻意安排。站在金字塔前,那种震撼人心的感觉真是妙不可言。从教科书和纪录片中了解了一辈子的东西,亲眼见到又是另一回事……真正站在那里,感受数千年历史的厚重感,又是完全不同的体验。参观萨卡拉,亲眼目睹阶梯金字塔,让我的旅程更加深刻,也让我理解了这些令人叹为观止的建筑的演变历程。
我们甚至骑着骆驼沿着金字塔漫步——那种超现实的、“这是真的吗?”的时刻,你永远不会忘记。
在一整天的古代奇观之旅后,我们竟然以一场热闹非凡却又无比美味的开罗美食之旅完美收官。我们真正地“吃遍”了开罗——骆驼肉、鸽子肉、内脏等等——完全走出了舒适区,却享受着每一分钟。
我强烈推荐这次旅行。如果你打算去参观金字塔,一定要和像穆斯塔法一样热爱这个国家的人一起。这会让你的旅程截然不同。
