About the Founder
Amgad Elmasry
Hello! My name is Amgad Elmasry. I was born and raised in Luxor, Egypt. Most of my life has been spent sharing the great ancient and cultural wonders of my homeland with travelers from around the world. For generations in my family home in Luxor, a stone in the kitchen was used to grind down raw salt for the daily baking, and it was not realized until my great grandmother’s time that the stone was the top of a buried temple pillar. Our home sat above the now famous Luxor Temple! We Egyptians are proud of our history and heritage, and know that there is nothing else like the wonders of Pharaohs on earth. New discoveries are made every year for us to share with the world.
My family and I moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2013 and became citizens of our new home in 2019. But the sands of our homeland will never leave our blood. Before moving to America, I had gained experience in all areas of tourism and hospitality. After graduating high school in 1993, I worked as a cook, earning a diploma in culinary arts. By 2013, I had become a licensed Egyptian tour guide, with study in Egyptology, and had managed a cruise ship on the Nile for 4 years.
Experience in Egypt has given me opportunity in America to unlock the secrets of my homeland like no one else. Now, Expedition Egypt seeks to provide personalized experiences, exceptional value, an unforgettable expeditions through an ancient land that you will never forget!

Jacob Samuel
Hello, my name is Jacob Samuel Ghaly, I am a member of Expedition Egypt team, I work as a freelance tour guide in Egypt.
Additionally, I am an archaeological inspector and Egyptologist for the Ministry of Egyptian Antiquities.
I was born and raised in Luxor, a small city that boasts more than 30% of the world’s monuments. Growing up in a family passionate about Egyptian history, I am honored to be the great-grandchild of one of Egypt’s first licensed guides, Mr. Ghaly.
During my childhood, I would play in the ruins of Karnak and the Avenue of Sphinx, which were right in front of my house. As a teenager, I worked with various archaeological expeditions. After graduating from the University of South Valley with a degree in Egyptology and a degree in guiding from Luxor University, I have spent the last 10 years guiding tourists all over Egypt. I am also a member of the Egyptian General Tourist Guides Syndicate.
My true passion lies in helping guests explore remote and less accessible areas of Egypt, giving them the opportunity to meet and converse with local people in villages such as the Nubian Village at Aswan and the rural village on Banana Island in Luxor. As a guide, I aim to do more than just provide information – I listen to what my guests want to know and help them find answers to their questions, from learning to read hieroglyphs to understanding how Ancient Egyptian culture and beliefs were integrated into Christian and Islamic faiths. Additionally, I help them explore recent social and political history.
Many of my guests have told me that the highlight of their tour was the chance to interact with locals and exchange ideas and experiences. As for languages, I am fluent in English, Chinese, and Arabic
