Ahmed Abdelrahman

Founder of Masry Tours

I am Ahmed, 39 years old, and have been living in Berlin, Germany, since 2022. My dream has always been to organize trips that bring people closer to the diversity of Egyptian cultures and showcase the real Egypt through the eyes of its people—not the Disneyland version that tourists often see. Another goal is to ensure that the financial benefits directly support the locals rather than just large business owners.

Ammar el-Gharbawy – Traveler, documentarian, and friend from Egypt.

I am Ammar, and my passion for traveling and exploring Egypt has shaped my life. My journey began during my university years when I decided to discover the beauty of my country through the eyes of its people. Since then, I have been trying to build genuine connections with locals, understand their stories, and support them in every possible way. My dream is to show the world Egypt from my perspective through "MasryTours," so you can have an authentic experience and discover the true soul of Egypt from a different viewpoint. I will be by your side every step of the way to ensure you see Egypt as I see it: beautiful, rich, and inspiring.
