I just got back from Egypt on a desert tour with Ali Gomaa and had one of the most beautiful and exciting vacations ever. And I travel a lot! I went alone with my 11-year-old boy. Before we left I was at first a bit wary about what would await us travelling by ourselves through the desert with Ali and his team, but I never would have imagined that we have sooo much fun!! Ali our guide, Salah our cook and Zeen our driver really pampered us (esp. my son!) and watched over us and we felt really safe. Salah was a great cook and the evenings at the campfire eating one of his specially seasoned Tagines and the Barbecues were spectacular in a way that now 3-star restaurant can offer. And the nights in the open desert under the stars were more meaningful and special than any 5-star hotel. my son and I got almost delirious counting the shooting stars in this amazing starry sky! Every day was like a different, exciting new world in the White Desert, the Black Desert, the Great Sand Dunes, etc. Ali showed us sites that I am sure no other tour guide has ever offered, including a 2,000 year old Roman tomb where my son even held up the skull and we took a picture. 
Ali is a great, trustful person who organizes these trips from the heart. You feal like you leave a family when you leave.

De oude Islamitische wijk in Cairo heeft veel te bieden. Prachtige oude paleizen, oude huizen en eeuwenoude moskeen. Daarnaast is het een levendige wijk van de bewoners zelf met hun eigen bazaar waar zij zelf hun dagelijkse boodschappen doen. Een wirwar van straatjes, waar Ali Gomaa, mijn gids feilloos de weg weet, want hier groeide hij op. Hij opent deuren voor jou, waar die voor anderen gesloten blijven. Hij kent de historie van deze stad als geen ander.
Altijd vriendelijk en met een ingetogen glimlach laat hij je zien wat je maar wilt. Hij nam me mee naar de wijk van de Zabaleen, de vuilnisophalers van Cairo en daarachter een bedevaartsoord voor de Kopten, met 7 kerken deels uitgehouwen in rotsen. Ook de normale toeristische attractie zitten in zijn programma.
Hij doet zijn werk "from the hart"en dat is aan alles te merken. Wil je een dag in jouw eigen tempo deze stad beleven dan kan ik je Ali aanbevelen. FANTASTISCH!!!
