Excellent lady driver and guide
Raina met us at our hotel and took us to two mosques, the beautiful El Sama Eyeen Coptic Church, the market and a viewpoint over Sharm El Sheikh. She gave us very clear and interesting information and speaks fluent English and French. It was an enjoyable and well paced tour.
Unforgettable Sharm El Sheikh Tour with Azza’s Exceptional Care and Dedication
Our city tour of Sharm El Sheikh with Azza was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very beginning, she treated us like family, ensuring every detail of our experience was personalized and memorable. Azza introduced us to authentic Egyptian street food, making us feel at home while sharing the local culture. She went above and beyond by helping my partner with traditional clothing—personally assisting with measurements and tailoring to ensure the perfect fit. Her dedication didn’t stop there; Azza guided us through jewelry shopping, securing genuine bargains, and even cancelled her own plans to spend the entire day with us. Her devotion and warmth transformed our last day in Sharm El Sheikh into an unforgettable experience. Special thanks also to Ahmed from the perfume shop, Azza’s friend, who generously gifted us beautiful souvenirs and perfume bottles. Azza’s professionalism, kindness, and passion for her work made this city tour one we will never forget. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone visiting Sharm El Sheikh—she truly sets the standard for exceptional guiding.
Amazing time
What an amazing time. Azza took us to many beautiful places and explained to us the culture and customs. We purchased some things at the market and Azza helped us get an amazing price. This was worth the time and the money and I would recommend this to anyone who what’s to try something in Sharm El Sheikh different from the beach.
