About Magdy

Egypt through Egyptian eyes

Cairo University History graduate with 20+ years guiding travelers across Egypt. Magdy founded Aswan Luxor Cruises in 2010 with a vision: share Egypt through Egyptian eyes. He speaks English and Arabic, and personally inspects every ship in our portfolio.

If I can't confirm a date or a detail, it doesn't go on the page. There's enough half-remembered nonsense written about Egypt already.
