Your guide

Who am I?

My name is Beshoy Bedear Goda. I'm a licensed French-speaking Egyptologist guide, holding the professional card of the Egyptian Tourist Guides Syndicate.

Beshoy is not always the guide on the day of your excursion: several guides work with JC Tours. All of them hold the professional card of the Egyptian Tourist Guides Syndicate, speak French, and are trained in Egyptology or history.
