I know a guide there. His email is [email protected]
and his phone number is Tel # Egypt: +20123121551. He will pick you up at the airport in a aircon Mercedes van, and you will get not only a well-educated English speaking guide, but a Driver/Security.

My family has used his services a couple of times--last time was last April.
he is dependable, great English and will not try and take you anywhere you don’t want to go (just tell him exactly what you want). Inside the museum he has connections (no waiting) and access to things that most people don’t get to see. Example: Our guide he provided us (Mehmet) was a PhD Egyptologist with perfect English and family living in Newport Beach California. He knew everyone who worked at the museum and had people open cases so that we could see small items up close. As well as things that were in storage.

But this will cost you. $200/day. I’m not sure if that is what you are looking for. But you will be treated like a VIP from start to finish.

Best of luck!
