This paper studies the new trends in tour guiding. Technology will make a great change in guided tours, a change which is critical for guiding and led to the rise of new trends in guiding. Tour guides must develop themselves and be in line with new trends that affect their career. The new trends are represented in the electronic museum guide. Another trend in museum guiding is virtual reality; technology can provide good knowledge and information about exhibitions. Robot guiding also is a new trend in museums to give certain information to tourists. Guiding “tourist with disabilities” is another new trend in which tour guides still need to be trained and equipped to help tourists with disabilities. Some examples of how to apply these trends in Egypt are referred to as a virtual reality model of Tutankhamun collection and enhancing guiding through the robot, an example of Alexandria national museum.
