The library

The places you can tour with us.

Our library covers the museums and heritage sites we know best across Egypt, and it grows steadily as we make each new tour to the same standard rather than rushing to cover everything badly. Below is what is in the app now — what each tour covers, roughly how long it runs, and which are free to try. We would always rather have fewer tours that are genuinely excellent than a long list of mediocre ones, so the library is curated, not padded.

Greater Cairo

The capital's great collections.

The densest cluster of museums in Egypt, and where most visitors begin. Each tour is expert-narrated and downloadable for offline use.

A curated, growing list

Quality over quantity, always.

You will notice the library is not endless, and that is deliberate. Anyone can generate hundreds of machine-read tours overnight; we make each one by hand, researched, written as a story and properly narrated, and that takes time. So the library grows at the pace of doing it well. Every tour you see has had the same care lavished on it, which means you can download any of them confident it will be worth your ears — there are no thin, dashed-off entries padding the count. As we complete new tours, of more museums and sites, they appear in the app, and the all-tours pass includes every one.

If there is a museum or site you wish we covered, tell us through the contact page — listener requests genuinely guide what we make next, and several tours in the library exist because someone asked. Where a tour is made in official partnership with a museum it is marked as such, with the institution's own curators having checked the facts; the partners page lists those. The languages each tour is available in are on the languages page.

Library questions

About the tours.

Which tours are free?

Several full tours are free to try — not teaser clips, but complete tours — so you can judge our quality before buying. They are clearly marked as free in the app, and the great national museum's intro tour is one of them.

How often do you add tours?

Steadily, as each is finished to standard, rather than on a content schedule. We would rather you waited a little for an excellent tour than be served a poor one quickly. The all-tours pass always includes whatever is in the library at the time.

Can I suggest a place?

Please do, through the contact page. Listener requests genuinely shape what we make next, and a place asked for by several people moves up our list.

Are the running times accurate?

They are honest estimates of the full narration, but the real time you spend is up to you — pause, replay and linger and a "60-minute" tour can fill a leisurely afternoon, or skip stops and it is shorter. The figure is a guide to the audio length, not a schedule you must keep to.

Can I use a tour without visiting in person?

You can listen anywhere — some people enjoy a tour at home before or after a visit, or simply out of interest in a place they cannot reach. But the tours are written to be walked, matched to the route through the real galleries, so they come into their own when you are actually there.
