Tourist guide is not my first career, I was graduated from Agriculture college and was successful Horticulturist, before realizing how much I'm interested in meeting and talking with people from different cultures, I took hundred of hours of college evening classes and went on many studying tours to get my self ready to the new career. Hardly I made it the first or even the second of my class during my early study, but when I started to do what I like to do, I was the second one in my class during the two degrees held for four years to prepare myself to be a tourist guide and Egyptologist, even when I had a work and family to take care during my study. That shows you how much I'm interested in this career. I take groups of tourist all over Egypt, especially these places enables me to introduce the ancient and contemporary history and culture of Egypt. Learning about the history and different cultures and customs will lead for a better understanding of the international conflicts based on misunderstanding between people of different cultures and beliefs, not the differences between cultures and civilizations like many people think. For the same reason I Joined two training programs offered by Bridges, Foundation aims to bridge people from different culture, religious and ethnic backgrounds and Opening communication channels to narrow the gap of understanding between them. In my tour I encourage my guest to ask many questions, that's how I have my materials tailored for them. Samir Abbass, Egyptologist and Licensed Tourist Guide ----- Sameer_abbass@yahoo.com
