In
the lobby of the Egyptian Museum, Ahmed handed me his business card. Melek
kelem, it read, in mirror-like Arabic script. This was no empty palindromic
boast, I saw as soon as he started the ten-minute "preview' tour we'd
arranged. Ahmed was indeed a Master of Speech, a Word Lord, even -- to stretch
the effect into English -- an Emir of Rhyme. He had a dense and mesmerizing way
of speaking, full of shifting rhythms and ridiculous puns. Ambling through the
museum next to him felt more like jogging, trying to keep up with his
ancient-Egyptian etymologies, mnemonics for hieroglyphics, and archaeology
gossip.

In
Ahmed we found not only an amazing producer, but a great resource for all
things Egypt. His offhand knowledge of Egyptian history, of
pharaohs
and antiquities, of hieroglyphics and pyramids is astounding. He can quote
ancient Egyptian texts from memory. In many ways he was our tour guide and
history professor on top of everything else.

He
is also particularly good at turning dry facts into fascinating anecdotes and
was often able to entertain and educate us with
interesting
stories about Egypt’s history. He is obviously passionate about the country,
its history and culture.

His
language skills, especially his knowledge of English, are absolutely first
class and he has an ability to express himself in a manner that many native
English speakers would find difficult to improve upon.

My
aim was to take a break with a cultural and historic character. And having
Egyptologist and tour guide Ahmed Seddik as my companion made my adventure
unforgettable.

The
Digger Who Can Figure:
-------------------------------
"His
name is Ahmed Seddik and he is the most delightful, smart and funny person you
can imagine. He loves languages and speaks incredible English. He talked
continuously without notes of any kind during our tours of the temples at
Saqqara, the Pyramids and tombs in Giza, Islamic Cairo, and the City of the
Dead--not just providing fascinating and encyclopedic information, both
historic and modern,
but
peppering his monologue with puns and alliteration."
Caroline

“Ahmed
Seddik is the brightest Egyptian I have met since I came to Egypt. I have found
his Egyptological knowledge prodigious.”
Professor
Jerry Leach
-------------------------------------------
Ahmed
Seddik worked with me as a discussant on the translation of Ahmad Faris
al-Shidyaq’s monumental mid-nineteenth-century work al-Saq ‘ala l-saq (Leg over
Leg) during 2012 and 2013, a work widely considered among the most
linguistically challenging of Arabic texts in view of its use of little-known
words, word-play and puns, and complex grammar. I reviewed and discussed in
depth with Ahmed most of the cruxes of the text and benefited enormously from
his in-put. His knowledge of Arabic grammar, verse, and the Quran is
encyclopedic and his ability to untangle the contortions imposed from time to
time on the language of the book by the constraints of verse and rhymed prose
proved to be prodigious. Ahmed’s love of language in general and the Arabic
language in particular made him the ideal partner in an enterprise of such a
daunting nature. I can recommend him unreservedly to anyone involved in
scholarly work involving the Arabic language arts.
