Great tour in a pleasant Mood
For our Egypt vacation, with planned visit of Luxor, our son had already recommended the guidance of Ahmed, whom he had already met with his girlfriend a year ago and was enthusiastic.
So in advance from D already planned everything with Ahmed, and briefly, it impressed us very much how quickly we warmed up with Ahmed and enjoyed his very personal nature. Highly recommended indeed. We, that is me with my wife and our son-in-law, so a very small group that naturally demands more individually than in a large group. However, this also has more flexible options and can respond more individually.
We were picked up from the hotel on time by his cousin Ali and driven through mountains, desert and the suburbs to Luxor, where Ahmed welcomed us before the temple on the east side of the Nile - German-speaking. Extensive explanations of the temple and its history followed. Ahmed is absolutely competent in this respect, but he is not overwhelmed with speech. Then crossed by ferry to the western Nile side and taken by car to the Valley of the Tombs. Again, the essential explanations and visits of three graves, with selected focuses of Ahmed. For us easily understandable he could also justify them and we also found them when visiting the graves. An impressive experience.
For late lunch Ahmed invited us to the home of the many-headed family with small children, introduced us to all family members and we were excellently served in a typical country setting. A very personal experience that we enjoyed extraordinarily. Where does one have such an opportunity to be welcomed into a family in the host country?
Afterwards, the three of us went with Ahmed around a boatmaster in a boat on the Nile and were also allowed to document our tax skills on foreign waters. Arriving back at the east side of the Nile, Ali was already waiting for us by minibus to return. Farewell much difficult after an eventful and beautiful day, but there were still 3 hours of driving ahead. Overall, the tour lasted from 5.30 a.m. to 9 p.m., time for late dinner. An eventful and varied day was behind us.

Day trip to Luxor
Super Slug as a family from Hurghada to Luxor. Experienced, exciting, very informative and insightful into the real life of an Egyptian family. Our guide Ahmed has good knowledge of German. A short Nile cruise is also included in the tour. Highly recommended. Annemarie from Switzerland

Very impressive day in Luxor
As a family, we experienced a very impressive day in Luxor. Visiting the temple, tombs and stone carvers was explained very instructively for us by our guide Ahmed. I will not forget his hospitality his honest and open way of telling about himself and life in Egypt. It touched me a lot. The round trip is worth an experience on its own.

Ahmed is a great guide and I would recommend him! Everything is well organized from departure to return. In addition to Ahmed’s sights and the accompanying exciting information, lunch and the unadulterated insight into life in Egypt were another highlight of the trip. All in all a great day with many unforgettable impressions, thumbs up Ahmed!:)

Great trip to Luxor
A thank you for this lovely trip to Luxor.
we were brought to Luxor on time and quickly.
There our guide took us through a few temples and told us about the respective temples. Our questions were answered quickly and competently.
All the temples we visited I found impressive and was amazed what people could build at that time.
In the Valley of the Kings we visited a few tombs. These were also very impressive.
In the evening we stayed with Ahmed's family and got a delicious dinner there.
Thanks again for this unforgettable day.

Magnificent Trip.
Ali, our personal driver, picked us up at the hotel on time. At first we were a little shocked about the "traffic regulation", but Ali took away any doubts we had through his experience and calmness.
Arrived in Luxor the tour started immediately. Hassan was our guide and took great care. We stopped in shady places for longer historical explanations and were not plagued by hecticness. In addition we got deep and unforgettable insights into Egypt's past.
At noon we ate with his family. This was a very beautiful and memorable event.
The final Nile round trip in the sunset was very relaxing.
Finally I have to say that the care of the family Eldeak takes one friendly by the hand and accompanies you.

Luxor, an unforgettable day!!!!!!
My family and I had a lovely day in Luxor.
In the morning we were picked up punctually at the hotel. First we saw the Temple of Ramses. Ahmed explained everything to us great. Then we went to the Valley of the Kings, where we visited three tombs. In the morning he introduced us to the life of a stonemason. After the great introduction, we met his family, with whom we also ate together. By the way, his family is very nice! At the end we did a Nile tour. And so ends a GREAT day that I will always remember.

Great day trip from Makadi to Luxor
We found Ahmed via internet.On time at half past six only my family was picked up by a driver at the hotel in Makai. The journey takes approximately 2.5 h. Much shorter than with a hotel group and the big bus. Arriving in Luxor, Ahmed was already waiting for us on the Nile, where we also immediately crossed by boat to the east side and visited the temple of Ramsis. Afterwards we went back to the west side by boat, by car to the Valley of the Kings, where he had recommended 3 tombs to see. We were invited to lunch with him and his family. There was the traditional Egyptian food, get to know life in his village, and felt very warmly welcomed. Worth a real experience that you won't forget anytime soon. After dinner we went on a little tour on the Nile before being driven back to the hotel. The tour is fully timed by Ahmed, no waiting times for driver, boat etc. He has explained everything very well, knows of course the visiting times of mass tourism, which he deliberately bypasses. It was a super great day with him and his family. We can only recommend it to anyone.
